For those looking for these movies, the cheapset Amazon deal currently is from UK (call Ultimate Bourne Collection) for about RM85 with standard shipping. Amazon CN is about RM99 with slim packaging (same like USA) while the UK is 3 normal standard BD casings in a slip case. From what I gathered from blu-ray.com so don't bet on it! BTW, the Canadian offer will end in about 2 hours.

AMAZON UK BOX SET is very cheap, even not during sales. However lots of buyer dislie the "nipple" on the cover & willing to pay more for a nicer looking packaging.

for quality wise, most big studio are using same sorce & qiuality looks & sound a like, only sometimes AMZ UK got more subtitle.

True, and it depends on individual buyer's criteria. For me it is always price and the contents. How often does one look at the "nipples" on the cover, is it not the movie that we are going to watch? (Those nipples in the movie are a different matter lah!) Amazon UK is my favourite for boxsets, not only they are usually the cheapest (cost per disc) and often the most space efficient. Not to mention the fastest to reach you most of the time on standard shipping. Anyway, to each his own!

yup, i have to agree with u on most of it, i was once a big buyer on AMZ UK too, only recently got poison to love cool packing.

My LOTR:EE from amazon canada got pushed for a later ship date. From 19th to between 31st-7th.

I guess my trick doesn't work! Or they just dont have stocks?!

be patient my friend, the important thing is AMZ CANADA use FEDEX, if they use normal post, it will take 2 to 3 months

Oh! PQ ah, it just normal for me. Not striking like others transfer from what I seen. Definitely clear and details than DVD, but not a huge jump. Anyway it ain't bad for me. I need to see the real BD before I can rating on it. From sample photos, it looks fine just not spectacular.

hi all,

something very funny to share with, about our CUSTOM blush.gif

1 - i placed 1 order around RM440, AMZ DE break to 4 shipment & send it all out together
2 - i received a letter from CUSTOM my shipment kena tahan, cry.gif they gave me the package item code no.
3 - this morning before i went to CUSTOM, my AMZ DE 4 shipments all arrived! rclxms.gif
however, all 4 items are not the item kena tahan, hmm.gif if based on the item code from the CUSTOM letter
4 - i kind of consued, rclxub.gif so i tried to call custom 4 to 5 times to verify, but no body answer the call vmad.gif
5 - so i went to CUSTOM to figure out, i thought AMAZON might send some gift for me, or this is the lost items (few months ago, i got few MIA items)

guess what, CUSTOM made a mistake, it is not my package! mad.gif it is a big box belongs to some other dudes. How could CUSTOM made such mistake? and guess what, as usual, no apology been given, the custom officer is as cool as ARNORLD in TERMINATOR 1 (bad guy). cool2.gif after he realiesd they made mistake, he quickly took away my letter, he kept asking me haven't i received my package, i purposely said no, so he asked me to go home & wait for it.

it took me 2 hours,.

but the good news is AMAZON DE improved the packing a lot!, i mean really a lot!!!! rclxms.gif

all steelbook arrived in excellent condition. wrap up nicely, after open a big box, then came with another small box with bubble wrapping.

in future, AMZ DE is my 1st choice for steelbook.

Hi Bro,

Its not all about loudness.. u get a clearer dialog too cos of  a dedicated ctr channel - tats why u find it hard to catch wif jus de tv spkrs. .plus if u hv decent spkrs, it makes de musical score really make you feel de vibes tat was meant to be..
Overall it jus make movie watchin closer to wat de director intended..

brother ANDREW & NAZ,

i think all of us are not saying u guys need to buy a fancy loud n expensive HT system, what we tryin to point out is instead spend RM1K in bluray, u might spend a little bit less, save a portion , may be 30% in your HT system, think of this way, 1 HT can allow u to have dif experience on all your existing hundreds bluray biggrin.gif
