they have just put the price up...

I refuse to pay that!

I am hoping our neighbours across the pond will help us out in our hour of need!

It mnust be cheaper to pay $11.98 plus P+P. What would that be?

What was it before?

Fellow international orgers this is the best deal found today....

And they are an Amazon Marketplace provider with a 98% rating....so what does that tell you ?

http://www.importcds.com/...15&&ptid=2
http://www.amazon.com/gp/...ceSeller=1


Import Cds...$ 16.47 which is £13.00 gbp then shipping at $6.99 ..£5.99 ...

Hope this helps .... Why amazon wants to rip us off ...i don't know..

Well done LondonStyle. All we can do is keep updating this thread for the best deals. I feel fairly confident the direct sale amazon uk and play.com price will come down further...

I hope so ....just so sick off people being ripped off ...greed is what got the world into this mess we are all in at the moment... no one is asking for free just a fair price ...

LondonStyle said:

If you order 2 from importcds.com, it works out at £30 altogether including shipping - cheaper than buying one from any UK company.

Very true words.

$11.95 for shipping, if a flat rate envelope can be used, through usps
It would be cheaper

Nah, I don't want to be forced to register with yet another website. Not buying it until it's decently priced domestically. I've spent far too much money on Prince importing various things.

Hopefully some lovely American retailers will realise what a shit Amazon is being and put it on the Marketplace and ship internationally. Although it's not really Amazon if it's Play.com as well. Looks like it's Prince over-pricing sales internationally.

Cheaper in the benelux:

Anyone know if its gonna be available off the shelf in the UK?...perhaps HMV or somewhere similar (if there are any other CD retailers left in the UK!!)

DaveT said:

Oxford St HMV for sure.

It's like been on confuised.com,I've just preorderd it from amazon ,wacked it on my credit card seeing as the bank will lend me up to £7000 on my little plastic friend .oh well ,the whole of the uk is in debt might as well join them!!!!

I've been buying Jacko tickets. Prince can officially fuck off if he wants to give me 10 copies of Planet Earth for free that I never even asked for but wants to charge me £30+ for 3 albums, 1 of which I don't even want.

It seems price in benelux is 20 euros:

actually, it says Euro 22

Thanks for that Thibaut!

And thanks xenophobia2002

.....looks like Amazon.co.uk/HMV.co.uk have some questions to answer also the rip of retailers in Aussie land as well...

We don't expect all prices to be the same but at least they must be close ...because its a new release ...and the duty and shipping charge does not make up a $35 dollar charge ...

The UK release seems to have been pulled from Amazon?

blacksweat said:

Yeah....just checked ....gone...

Just tried Play.com (UK) and its priced at around £33.99

Bit bloody steep if U ask me (but then who does)

Hopefully it will drop b4 the release date.

blacksweat said:

That's Prince for you, always making things difficult for us. Maybe it will be given for free again with a newspaper? Planet Earth was in Amazon at first and then was taken off.

tatocorcu said:

Maybe he has seen the backlash on here and had second thoughts..

Ellie said:

Sorry about this but Jackson's tickets will be a lot more expensive and the performance will be dull dull dull - sorry had to do it - can't have you dissing my man !!

LittleNicci said:

yeah, but the kids will love it!

btw, i'll swap 21 copies of planet earth to anyone in americanland who will mail me a copy of the new triple album

...and then they wonder why people download illegally and copy cds....sigh!

On the other end...

Back in teh day when the `The Hits` 3CD set hit the streets we paid about 120 or so guilders on the release date.
't Was three times the price of a `normal` CD.
So now, even at 33 pounds, it's still relatively cheap in some ways.

Seriously, relative pricing is a bit out of whack...
