the only differences in the menus are a slightly different transition between screens (more 'pixelated' in the current release), and in the original release, the DVD credits roll plays against a black background. I quite liked the original release, but these are much weaker. The backdrop used to ki...

I guess the stores are protecting themselves from shoplifters who would return product for cash. Not just shoplifters. I've seen people bragging on some forums that they've bought 2 items in a "Buy One - Get One free" type offer, only to then "return" them to stores not running that kind offer - to...

what??!! I ordered from AU and had to pay a whopping £28!!!! Because they used UPS. You don't have a chance with UPS, everything's registered automatically *and* they tack on their own damn fee. With regular mail, however, stuff can sneak through... not that I wish to deprive our good government of...

My amazon.ca MSCL order turned up yesterday and the customs gestapo had completely missed it!

The DVD Forums might be a useful visit as well: http://www.thedvdforums.com/

The player just says "playback restricted...not PAL". First look around your players setup menu or see if there are any switches on the back of the machine. If you can't find anything to change the video output mode, then do a google search on your player or try asking about it on uk.media.dvd. I'd...

Someone from UPS called round to my house today and left a note saying they had my pakage, (least I know I have them, now my double charge refund should be next) the problem is on the invoice it says I have to pay £15.56 Taxes, £2.81 duties and £10.00 for Brokerage surcharges. Is this a charge from...

I got mine from Amazon on Saturday, with the same customs charge. I also recieved a set today from deepdiscountdvd, with no customs charge. I think the whole import charge thing is pretty random. I've been reading lately that the Amazon logo is like a magnet to UK customs & excise. Really wish I'd ...

Correct me if I am wrong but weren't the slipcases (or at least for those getting a bonus disk...yeah right) suppose to leave room for the extra disk so that it could be part of the set? If the bonus disc actually ships, just buy yourself a double-amaray to replace the first case in the set (same s...

I kinda wish I had scrambled - mines still on "Items Not Yet Shipped".

Maybe it's because I'm in the UK and I used a free shipping voucher, they're gonna punish me and make me wait.

They seem to, but they classs Canada as "International" so Canadians don't get the free shipping.

i want these on DVD..... some will never happen though: snip Ally McBeal (5 seasons) Much of Ally has already been released outside the US. Seasons 1-4 have been released in the UK (although I'd give S4 a miss, as I think Ally was widescreen by S4 and it's just 4:3 on the UK DVD's). Season 1 has al...

At this point, the only DVD menu I have seen that is WORSE is Girls Just Want to Have Fun. The UK Xena DVD's have the worst menus I've ever seen. I really hope MSCL hasn't "beaten" those. Do I take it from these comments that they are not on par with the original 3ep release (which I always liked, ...

Um... you do realize that they will never refund the money, right? I'm hoping the bank will take care of that - I've gained some comfort from the posts of successful charge disputes and hope to get my cash back the same way. Besides, I somehow feel slightly better about being robbed, than conned......

I actually wish people hadn't started doing this. It's given AU an excuse to delay processing the cancellations those of us who have made our minds up and don't plan on changing. Grrr.
