Amazon FRANCE - Philips BluRay player for €1 if you buy 10 Blu Ray discs

biscuit

Hi

Amazon _France_ (NOT AMAZON UK!) will sell you a Philips Blu Ray player for €1 if you buy ten Blu Ray discs at the same time. I have had a quick read and can't see any restrictions on shipping to the UK, though I imagine you will have to pay extra postage. There are enough BluRays in the offer to get the lot for about €150.

Obviously you will also need to change the plug, but the wiring is the same.

The details are here:

The eligible Blu Rays are here:

I haven't tried this, and probably won't but I thought people might be interested.

parler vous francais? French blu ray movies be french language by default and all packaging in will be french. Guess what this is! Le bon, la brute et le truand

Whenever I buy an electrical appliance, I seem to get instructions in: English, Francais, Deutsch, Svenska, Espanol etc.

Will Amazon.fr delivery here?

biscuit

Amazon.fr on the whole do deliver to the UK - I have ordered DVDs from them before and there has been no problem. EU law also says something about you being able to do this, but there are restrictions, and I do wonder whether something you plug in would be covered by this (eg they'd be breaking UK law by selling an electrical appliance without a UK plug, but then again I remember people ordering their Wiis from Amazon.de a few years ago)...

As for the BluRays being in French, yes, that's true, but 99% of the time they will have English soundtracks too.

will the bluray player play R2 DVDs ??

biscuit

It should do - the whole of Europe is Region 2 for DVD and whatever the Blu Ray region is (ie all French DVDs/BRDs will work in a Spanish/German/British player)

Lol, yes, France do have European plugs..it is us that don't.

I bought a wii from France a couple of years ago & then bought a plug adaptor from ebay to clip over it....i'll go & have a search now to see if I can find one.

I have ordered from Amazon.fr before..not sure exactly about the postage...can't remember, but it was similar to here..just a few pounds I think.

Edit: Here you go.....you just pop the plug inside, screw it down & hey presto, you have a UK plug.

Far less b*ggering about would be to buy the Panny blu-ray player from Amazon UK and get, funnily enough, 8 free blu-ray titles (OK, 7 of them are by redemption). I have this player and it's bloody fantastic (you can apparently play youtube through it but I haven't connected it up to my router yet so can't confirm how this works:
