"Ray LE" where is the cheapest it can be bought?

I saw Ray earlier tonight and thought it was utterly fantastic. Jamie Foxx really deserved the Oscar!

Anyway I now want the LE (an LE worth paying the extra for for once) but can only find it at DVD Soon for £22 or Play for £25. If I get it from DVD Soon it's bound to be hit by customs and I'm not in a DVD Soon trusting mood at the moment. So that leaves Play but £25 is bloody expensive. I can find it elsewhere but only a few sites and they charge more.

I've e-mailed CD WOW to see if they can get it back in stock. I don't mind paying £20 or there abouts.

Canadian outfit, dvdboxoffice.com have it for $51.95cad (approx £22GBP). Their shipping is free worldwide. From my experience personal shipping takes about a week to 10 days (shipping to NZ that is).

Thanks Eva. They're not customs safe as far as I know so it will probably end up costing more. I've used them before, they're good.

Are Kiwi customs less strict?

Axel music has it for £20.99/NZ $54.99 which is customs safe:

Yes, they don't seem to charge customs on stuff under $500NZD as far as I know.

Cheers, I may pick it up. I thought Ray was the most utterly fantastic movie I've seen in a long time. I 100-percent agree about Foxx deserving that Oscar he won.

500 dollars OMG WTF. Why are they so lenient?

The £1 voucher has now expired. I ordered it from Axel anyway without the voucher and 3 hours after ordering I received an e-mail to say it "will" be shipping in the next 12 hours. That doesn't mean it actually has but I believe them. I can't see the LE being released outside of America otherwise I would've waited for a better price.

My LE arrived from Axel on Friday. It's a lovely set.

Disc 1 is dual sided for some reason. I've got a feeling they've put the extras which are on disc 2 of the standard set on side 2 so to make it still a 2 disc set. The LE also has a third disc but of different content (well it would be 3 discs if they had put it with the standard set).

Personally I wish they'd put disc 2 from the standard set plus the extra content from the LE all on to disc 2 but there you go.
