Videoflicks.com — Boo!
Sarge, from my view, it is pointless to order any S2,3 or 4(keeping my fingers crossed!) DVDs either on-line or through the mail.
I’ve gotten my DVD’s for the TV series from Borders at their local Brick-and-Mortar store and said the heck with the shipping charges and waiting breathlessly for my Lexx DVDs. It just makes more sense to me to go there and actually buy them. Borders offers a fair price (well for me anyway!~ I’m out in Hawaii! So $16.99 on-line + 6.95s/h =a few pennies saved!) and there’s no chance that they’ll screw your order up.
But the Big Four movie DVDs are a different animal. It seems that if you want them on DVD, you’ll have to go through a Canadian Website to get them. In my case, I got the first two from A&B Sound and they were very fast with the delivery. I do have a choice about VHS or DVD for the remaining two as Gigashadow and Eating Pattern are gettable on VHS here in the U.S. but I want to keep it all DVD.
I hope that they send you the mouse pad…it’s the least they can do for messing things up!
As for region 1, 2, etc….there are DVD players out there that are “region-blind”, meaning they will play the DVD regardless of coding. They are expensive but you can do a search on them (this one you’ll have to order from the i-net!) to find a supplier or distributor. Most dealers have a FAQ regarding legalities as well.
