See … the Canadian dollar is actually up against the US dollar at this moment …
So it’s mighty depressing to see things cost double. And did you notice that shipping inside of Canada is 48% more expensive than shipping across the border to my house?
I mean … how could this make any sense?
Of course I ordered it from the US … I think we should change the words in our anthem to “True North strong and fleeced …” ;-)
Update: Dotbalm points out that Americans have been aware that the Alien Quadrilogy Blu-Ray has been available for much cheaper at Amazon UK than in the USA. I did a wee bit of research regarding region codes, which plagued distribution of DVDs for their entire life span, and Blu Ray has such a concept (which amazes me) … but there is a site that shows that many region free Blu Rays do exist, and the Alien Anthology is one of them :-)
Sidebar: Perhaps it is time we simply boycotted those money-grubbing bastards who manufacture region-locked Blu Ray. Enough is enough already.
Back to my point in this article, the actual difference in prices is staggering …
UK
That’s about 30 bucks Canadian … wow …
USA
Canada, the True North strong and fleeced … ;-)
What more is there to say? Oh yeah … in the cart the price drops again and the shipping is less expensive than the US shipping …
That’s amazing …
