You would still need to buy the right converters for the UK player. One to adapt the power slot, the other to convert PAL to NTSC. |

PAL and NTSC aren't a thing for BluRay, just DVD.

as long as you use the HDMI connection it won't matter
but u do need a power converter if you don't have one |

Made my first Aniplex import order after putting it off for awhile. Also have the Bakemonogatari BD collection and Garden of Sinners Movie DVD Collection Limited Edition pre-ordered but these are the three that have been shipped out.
I was rather surprised to find that Amazon UK includes VAT in their prices shown online, so it took me by surprise that my final order amount was around 15% cheaper than I was anticipating. I for one am glad that we have the ability to import cheaper releases from the United Kingdom and Australia. |

VAT is always included in prices here, except for primarily business-to-business retailers.

I cried a little on the inside. It actually makes me really very happy when people give AoA the finger like this.
If I wasn't an admitted TYPE-MOON hater, I'd definitely grab up those F/Z sets. Insanely cheap, so for the time being I've added Gurren Lagann BD. However...I'm seriously pissed about the Kill la Kill blu rays being absurdly expensive in the UK too. Argh, it's not supposed to work that way! >:< |

Worked a lot of hours these past couple days, so I decided to treat myself and bite the bullet and got a region free blu-ray player for $110 on ebay. I was gonna do paypal credit and pay it in small parts monthly, but decided screw it and just pay for it fully
Just in case though, Imma see if a local store sells Region B blu-rays just to test it out Also bought the Blue Exorcist movie from Amazon UK and made a small list of other UK Blu-rays and DVDs to pick up. |

The KLK BluRays which are coming out here at the moment are a premium release with loads of extras, hence the cost. A standard edition will appear down the link I should think.

Yeah, patience is always necessary if you want to purchase anime cheaply. The Fate Zero Pt 1 set for instance wasn't available till May 2014, so 2.5 years after the first season aired on TV.

Yeah, Andrew's already stated there's going to be a cheaper edition down the road. It's going to take a while. Personally, I don't mind the price of the Kill la Kill blurays. Sure, it's more than what I'd usually pay for a show, but considering you're paying just as much for 9 episodes as AoA is charging for 4, you're still getting one heck of a deal. Plus you get a really nice artbook and an actual chipboard box, instead of the lame flimsy slipcover that AoA is giving. |

I know this is a year old but I just had a quick question.
Does anyone with experience importing from Amazon UK know how often you get charges import duties & taxes? Does marking the "gift" option during amazon checkout help? |

While it's just tax-free here in the US, as someone who's dealt with enough Canadian customers who got their first tax bill over the phone, I'd say it's a bit of a crapshoot whether you get charged or not(last I checked, the charge was CAN 9.95 if they decided to bill you), but, to the best of my knowledge, that was always sales tax and never a tariff. If Amazon.co.uk will play along and check the gift box on the customs form, it usually gets you out of the latter, but I'm not sure it'll get you out of the former.

I have a question. I resently bought a region free blu ray player and ordered some blu rays from Zavvi. I got the Pixar set and Durarara sets which play fine on my player. But when I put in the Guerren Lagann and Puella Magi Madoka Magica sets the discs says they will only play on region b players. Are the last 2 region locked no matter what or is there something I have to do to get them to play?

Sorry I can't nail down your problem, this is an Idea of what some players are like. Hopefully your player came with some additional literature to explain the region free functions. |

Thanks for the help. I had to press the blue button to get it to work. Had to do it a few times before it would work though. Last edited by matt78 on Sat Jul 25, 2015 7:42 pm; edited 1 time in total |
