Those specs are wrong Nos. It's only 1 disc.

That's a shame. Fortunately, the French Connection/French Connection II set is only £8.95 at Zavvi & The Hut, so I'll probably buy that for the extra features.

As for buying from Bluraysforeveryone, $17 shipping seems a bit steep.

How can anyone make the mistake of sending RAM instead of a movie!

You should sell it as it should be worth more then the actual movie!

I ordered Otis Redding's Dock of the Bay CD and Amazon delivered Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin!

The difference isn't as big as mistaking computer memory for a film, but Led Zeppelin is pretty different to Otis Redding.

I once received High School Musical 2 instead of Blade Runner: 5 Disc Collector's Tin when ordering from Amazon.

It is s bit steep. Almost the same price as the disc. They used to have an $8 option but that's gone now. It cetainly doesn't cost $17 to ship a disc from the UK to the US, so it's a bit if a ridiculous price, but I wanted the disc, so I'll live with it. I've bought 2 discs from them (or him, as it's a one or two man operation) without a hitch (unlike another one man operation we could mention.

Well, as movie confusions go, that one takes some beating!

I guess you didn't keep High School Musical 2, opting for Ridley Scott's sci-fi masterpiece instead.

I was pretty pissed, as I'd been anxiously awaiting the set arriving - I had to resist the urge to destroy High School Musical 2; but managed to send it back intact!

Unfortunately as the Blade Runner set was limited, Amazon were only able to give me a refund and I had to re-buy it from Play, who were more expensive.
