    No.. the Euro prices are typically (ludicrously) rounded up on .IE!

    Whereas the conversion from £ to € will always work out cheaper using .UK

    Ruu posted this link last week.

    http://www12.cd-wow.us/promotion_2.php?promo_refcode=15405_1&affid=15405

    I used four different email address's & received four voucher codes.

    After getting your codes go to:

    http://www.cd-wow.us/detail_results_2.php?product_code=1858895

    You should end up paying $17.95, about €14.

    Word is on the Region 3 copy of 'The Departed' - the film is actually split over 2 discs.

    As in an hour through the film, 'Please Insert Disc 2'

    Shocking stuff... haven't seen that type of disc done in years (my really old edition of Starship Troopers had it)

    Yeah, basquille, I heard that about The Departed R3 as well, very disappointing. My copy was dispatched yesterday, I would have canceled had I known.




  • I was going to get this. Did you guys get your copies? Is it split over two discs? :eek:

    Yup, 'fraid so. The split comes in a really bad place too. I reckon I'll be buying this again.

    Yep just took a look at case and movie is over two discs, as earlier poster said very disappointing

    Cheapest Region 2 copy I can find is £12.75 (minus shipping) here at 101cd.com. Single disc.

    Was gonna make a purchase but luckily I read this. Is the IOWA link gone (they seem to of replaced it with a voucher page). CDWOW can't expect us to pay...gulp....the real price surely.

    Always pays to check both. Occasionally you get a better price on the .ie
