Well, I could have bought it one of one thousand places. The point was that I got like $10 off so I bought it from Barnes and Noble... That was the best price and I figured good service. Now, I knew when they were going to ship it and when to expect it. So I was going to go ahead and wait instead of driving for an hour to and an hour back to get it. Just sucks they didn't send me the right disk cause I was waiting for it... I am sorry your australian. You should just kill yourself now or move to the United States, that is why they have regional coding to screw australians over and force them to move to the U.S. So just hurry up and do it before we cut you off completely and make you use laserdisc.
: But listen, I live in Australia and we hardly get shit released down here and when we do we miss our big time (We lose 3 of the Fight Club commentaries), infact there is only 2 discs I know of in Region 4 that are better than Region 1, the Matrix & The Faculty, and trust me it's by no leaps and bounds, it's something small.
: 1 hour to travel? hell I've travelled 2 hours each way to get something I've wanted, and then you guys always get it so much cheaper.
: I'd love to order from the Stash and get my DVD signed but the exchange rate prices are so fucking ridiculous, not to mention the wait with shipping ... you guys have it much easier.
: I'm not trying to down you Ryan, please don't think that, and I understand the frustration you must of felt when they sent the wrong disc ... and let me say I recieved a disc from the UK I had to send back and pay the postage for so I know how it is, and I also know what its like to get things seized by customs and you lose your money, I've been on both ends.
: But if your store is only an hour away, you should have pre-ordered for the store ... you guys have so many options and you always get your money's worth.
