Here's a little info for you guys, to save some budget and take advantage of the currency situation right now. My credit card charged me the GBP rate at 5.37 for my recent LOTR DVD purchase. For Band of Brothers:

UK: £29.77 + £3.58 = £33.35 (*5.45) = RM181.76
US: $54.99 + $8.98 = $63.97 (*3.65) = RM233.49

Also, if you don't want the extras and Animatrix, you can also save by ordering the UK version:

UK: £25.51 + £3.58 = £29.09 (*5.45) = RM158.54
US: $74.99 + $8.98 = $83.97 (*3.65) = RM306.49

This is based on standard shipping method. As you guys know, almost all of the time the UK shipment will arrive around 1 week only, while US shipment will arrive between 2 weeks (if you're lucky) and up to 6 weeks. There are same risks for both UK/US. The shipping rate will get cheaper with additional titles, for both UK/US.

Warner Bros always use the same transfer if they're handling both region's release, and they're always region free. So the PQ/AQ should be the same. Warner's Beowulf release in UK got 5 star PQ/AQ even though Paramount never released it in US at that time because of their HD DVD exclusive. Also, there is only one case reported here about AQ difference, and that was Paramount's Transformers.

So, it's up to you. tongue.gif

Not to mention, it's damn funny as well. Heard the Canto version is even funnier!
