Amazon pain

[krasnoludek]

I ordered four Blu-Rays from Amazon.com.uk a couple weeks ago. I wanted two of them really badly (a Polish one and an Asian one) and threw in the other two for good measure since I was already paying for shipping. All of them were regionless and had not been released in the US. The previous regionless Blu-Ray I had bought from the UK plays fine in

Well, these things happen and you ARE going to get the movies anyways. So, c'est la vie.

I seem to recall someone wanting to lay in bed an extra 20-30 minutes this morning after I woke him up. So, I'm not so sure it's the movies that made you late.

yeah, it just would have been nice to have the nice new copies as well as the crapped out ones. Because what are they going to do with the crapped out ones?

I was rousing myself as fast as I could this morning!

You should complain about these sorts of things in the user reviews like everyone else does.

(that was a joke)

I really dislike how Amazon lumps together all the reviews for all the different releases of a product. Sometimes I want to know the advantages of one presentation over another, yet you can't pull out that particular one. Not to mention that most of the reviews review the movie rather than the technical merits of the presentation.

This was particularly the case with a movie like Night of the Living Dead, which has been released about a million times because it's public domain, yet 90% of the releases are super crappy. Amazon lumps the reviews all together.

Yeah that sucks too... :(

On the other hand, we now sit around and things we want magically appear at our house with surprising accuracy and quickness.

What if I want GEORGE to magically appear at my house?
