Re: Band of Brothers HDDVD

Can you provide a link to somewhere that would supply this to the UK?

Is it in English?

Re: Band of Brothers HDDVD

I would buy this, if it wasn't for the £100 price tag.

Re: Band of Brothers HDDVD

Still kind of expensive. £50 would be most i would pay. It would be good to see in HD but not that good.

Re: Band of Brothers HDDVD

I would never feel comfortable paying that sort of money for a show. £30 is the most I'd pay.

dunno, I'd never buy any tv shows, but BOB is kinda of special. Saying that price will be a factor.

£100!

Absolutely no chance. Thats £10 per hour of viewing. I know BOB is an excellent TV show but still, thats pushing it a bit. (well a lot!)

Re: Band of Brothers HDDVD

Movietyme is charging a premium for this, however at least they do not use the special 'Amazon/internet' currency convertor ie $1 = £1!
