What film should I get at HMV Japan?

Hey,

I was going to buy the Japanese 2 disc set of Who Am I at some point, and I think Eva or Hung mentioned HMV Japan were the cheapest

I've noticed though there is a multibuy offer though, buy 2 DVDs and save 25%, I was wondering what to get.
Maybe Mr. Nice Guy

Was only after Who Am I though...

Funnily enough I was seriously considering using that HMV Japan offer to get exactly those two films, but the total cost - excluding postage - is just over the £18 customs limit, so you can add 17.5% in import tax and another £4 or so in Post Office handling and then have the privilage of collecting it yourself (in my case the collection centre is miles away). Not feasible for me.

Didn't realise that

Might as well just use CD Japan then I guess

If you buy them singularly you avoid the customs but then each DVD is more expensive. You can't win.

Move outta Europe, then you win.

or move to finland, makes things easier when the limit is 38€ instead of 18£.

or move to japan and live happily ever after.

What all the way to New Zealand? That's some trip just to avoid customs

, besides the £18 is a UK not European limit. AFAIK most countries have some sort of limit, New Zealand will one day I'm sure

p.s - Where did you hear about the deal Grim?

It is plastered all over the site while searching/browsing the DVDs. I.e. You see it when adding stuff to the cart.
