Another one I'm going to have to try and sneak into the collection without Mrs Morrison noticing. I'm seriously going to have to stop visiting this part of the forum...it's costing me a fortune!

Re: Band Of Brothers £17.99 @ Play

Only ever saw half of this on the Beeb.

Tried to find out if there are differences between the Region B and A (i've a Region A player/collection) but apart from that fact that it's Region Free, I couldn't find any real differences so have ordered (from Amazon - trust their packaging more).

Rude not to at a tad under £18.

Mine came from Play today and was well packed in a big cardboard box, no dents and I got 72p back from Quidco

I wish I was so lucky Dave - despite the box & bubble wrap, mine looked like it had been hit by a sledgehammer. Considering the outer box it was packed in appeared to be undamaged, I can only conclude that the numptys in Play's dispatch centre packed it in that condition. Anyway, it's gone back for a refund and I've re-ordered from Amazon.

Re: Band Of Brothers £17.99 @ Play

I must have been lucky. I bought BOB when it was £23.99 from Play and they sent it in a jiffy bag ! Luckily no dents.

I assume BOB is coming from Amazon themselves and not Indigo Starfish? Indigo uses jiffy bags for everything.

Yes, I made sure it was Amazon and not Indigo Starfish before hitting the place order button.
