US still not out for pre order /  uk got pre order yesterday morning. I've already pre order from uk yesterday now will wait for the US release to see the price difference. I will also get the blu ray. Courtney & Dave sure know how to milk Kurt's fan.....
amazon.de also already up their pre order

I check my statement, they is no any extra interest charging. You can't buy any if your account is empty.

Ya, of cos the account has $$.
andrew is using debit card.

I know credit card has online transaction charges. I would like to know if use debit card, will the final cost will be cheaper? (since debit card doesnt have online transaction charges? Compared to credit card)

Why need call, no need, they is no extra money missing before, I already nearly half year using the Debit Card for purchasing, I don't see any extra charging or interest involved.

yeah, i think that's the best way.
cos for my credit card, it will just show the final charges (from USD to RM), no specific indication of any transaction charges too. maybe its already charged during the conversion?

example :

30th July - Amazon.com AMZN.COM/BILLUS  US$113.97   RM339.84  = 2.98 rate
05-Jul-2011 - Amazon.com AMZN.COM/BILLUS  US$39.46           RM119.94  = 3.03 rate

I'm using RHB CC their CS told me they will charge extra 0.35-0.50 % but it is already in the RM amount shown in our statement

Anyway event charging, also not really can know unless you call, as conversion rate keep changing.

I more hate Paypal rate, as they always charge higher than current, example now is 2.97 but Paypal charge you 3.2

Anyway it charging or not, also not really can know unless you call, as conversion rate keep changing.

I more hate Paypal rate, as they always charge higher than current, example now is 2.97 but Paypal charge you 3.2

I still believe it not charging.

Paypal - I think a year, actually I didn't notice on the exchange rate, yesterday is me accidentally notice it rate at 3:2 and that time the rate is only 2.96

That I not sure cause I don't have debit card.   But I think that depend on bank's own policy.  Cause bank can charge any rate (of course must be reasonable) their want.  That is why different bank often compete with other banks to attract customer to use their bank service when deal with foreign currency transactions.

look at the prices at our local retail store...S***dy  

I also seen it yesterday, the LOTR: EE is bulky, I think it same as UK edition, using normal bulky blue color blu-ray case only

The Superman Anthology is normal Big Amaray case slot in as well, not like US edition that gorgeous.

I plan to snap photos but it put too near the country, so forget about it. Haha!

I nearly attempt to buy the Green Hornet Steelbook (same steelbook as German / HMV UK edition) but after seeing the price of RM 149.90, I refuse.. Ops!

Finish watched Ghostbusters

The Film: Never though Sigourney Weaver was inside there, my last watching could probably 15 to 20 years ago where I was still a kids and dunno who is Sigourney Weaver. Still loving the film. 4.5 Star.

PQ: Better than expected, well done and no DNR issue, but ... grain hater must avoid this, some viewer at blu-ray.com said it is just too grains, for me I find it was ok, it is not the greatest, but in well control. 4 Star.

AQ: I just found the sound is flat and weak. 3 Star.

Extra: Plenty of extra, 4 Star.

Just check around, notice i-parcel got 3 types services:

• i-parcel Immediate* for 2 to 4 business day global delivery
  
• i-parcel Saver* for 7 to 12 business day global delivery
  
• i-parcel Saver Deferred* 7 to 21 business day global delivery
  

I think when Amazon use i-parcel for Standard Shipping is i-parcel Saver Deferred which took nearly a month to arrive. I just purchase few titles and 1st time try my luck using Expedited, and... Amazon also shipped my parcel via i-parcel and estimate delivered time is 10/August/2011. Ship out today, which means around 9 days, in this case, Amazon may use i-parcel Saver for Expedited user. Wish me luck item arrive on time. If it delivered on time, next time I will choose more on Expedited rather than Priority as Priority actually too costly and Standard wise too slow. If not arrive on time, Amazon be prepared receiving my love letter.

But this does not means Amazon all time using i-parcel for Expedited shipping as my friend also order via Expedited and no tracking number for track. His parcel not yet arrive.

guys....what is the best budget bluray player for newbie to start with....? any suggestion?

US.

yeah, some with airbags or brown paper.

but this time, i received a package WITHOUT any protection, just the piece of invoice and the item itself.

that fella who pack this must be damn lazy...

dont think so, cos no kastam inspection.

Then must complain to Amazon for refund, and etc.

My last shipment from Amazon UK only wrap with hard paper, that all, no brown paper or any bubble wrap.... hmm...... and my case is broken... haizz...

That is true, even item send via Airmail, it is crazy slow but arrived safety.

Probably, but for those big distributor - like Warner, Universal, Fox and etc, all seems is same disc, same menu.

I mean Airmail, not First Class Mail International.

Actually, for me, First Class Mail International & Priority Mail International not much different in shipment speed (but big different is cost wise). Even Express also not much different. Already updates in 1st post, extra add-on for eBay experiences Haha!
