Well not sure if its a price mistake but Amazon (UK) has it for ~ 10 pounds (a whopping 80 % off MSRP !)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASI ... 85-2098253

Enjoy

Well its not too bad for US folks also ( esp if u want to get something else )

Amazon.co.uk Order Summary
Items: £8.49
Postage & Packing: £3.08

Total before VAT: £11.57
VAT: £0.00
Order Total: £11.57


now thats 20 $ shipped for all the three films - i think its still a steal , esp given the R1 of Pather Panchali alone is over 20 $ ( and all three R1 are now OOP , perhaps an indication of a re-release ?).

Anyways , for those looking to add these gems to the collection and cant wait for a re-release i bet now is the time and ofcoure for others its a pass

Amazon is one of the few online stores that actually removes the VAT when they ship it to US ( North America ?) hence 8.5 pounds ( ~ 15 % off list price)

You think they'll actually ship? The price is back to normal now, and my CC hasn't been charged yet. I don't know if they're obligated to honor that price, but it would be nice to get some notificiation if they won't ship it.

Usually amazon.com honors mis-prices ..., so i hope it happens for you also . If it doesn’t happen perhaps its a good thing - i am getting good vibes on a "better" r1 release (2006 ?) , so hold on a lil bit more :)

I already have the R2 version, but I ordered from this deal since it would be a nice thing to be able to give as a Christmas or birthday present or something. If a good R1 version is released, it would take a huge improvement in the transfer/subtitles and/or a lot more extras.

Dragun, at least they WILL send it to you.

I purchased R2 Lagaan from them a few years back, at retail price and huge shipping fees. It cost me about $40 for one stupid dvd. I read it would take about 2 weeks for me to receive the dvd. it took more than a month. what's worse was that they didn't even bother to notify me :!: they are at the least notifying you on a good deal, not retail price :)

BTW, check out the Devi Sri Prasad thread started by you, incase you missed it??
