Says free shipping is only to the UK, but you can still order it and have it shipped elsewhere. It was only US$35 Amazon a few months ago, currently $56, so that would still be a deal.

Don't you need a Region 2 (or region-free) Blu Ray player for these?

Seeing that it is an American work, I sort of doubt it wouldn't work on your player. After all, I assume zeuiax might have said something if it didn't apply to our region.

I looked up this for you, but BoB is not on there it seems. Look at the color coding for region:

http://www.blu-raystats.com/Imports/UKImports.php

here is the main US site, sort of a modem burner:

http://www.blu-raystats.com/Stats/Stats.php

The main thing I would do is to see if the UK version is any better or worse than the US version. BoB is great enough, and long enough, where IMO it's easily worth $25 more for better PQ, in the case that the US version is better. If the UK version is better, well have your cake and eat it!

Well, it states that it is Region 2 right on the Amazon web site-I would interpret that to mean the discs only play on Region 2 (not NA Region 1) machines. I guess there is only one way to find out for sure...

Shipping was quick and reached me in less than week. All six discs played on my ps3 without any problem. There you go......no regional issues

Good to hear, and it looks like the price is still good as of right now for those who are interested. Excellent series.

Here's a helpful web site with the region info for Blu-ray titles released in the UK. It is much more helpful than the frequently incorrect or missing region specs on the Amazon UK site.

I wish Amazon UK would update their website. Blu-rays don't use numeric region codes. For Blu-ray discs, it's A, B, C,etc.

The Amazon UK version is definitely region-free with a DTS-HD MA soundtrack.
