[Update: including £14.99 shipping (see comments), may not be such a good deal afterall.]
This is the UK edition. I couldn't work out the shipping cost but from memory it's not high. £19.99 + shipping from the UK.
If you haven't got your copy already, worth a look. UK Blu-ray is Region B, same as Australia. Possible the DVDs are Region 2, so you will need a multi-region DVD player - AUS PS3 need not apply.
Cheap offers for this set does come up from time to time.
Not amazing at all based on that shipping cost. It's $50 delivered at Amazon right now, and it was $40 just last week:

My comment was posted before the shipping appeared… I wish you didn't show me those better deals… now I'm kicking myself harder :)
It pays to search the deals here first!
@ OP, Australia PS3 sets are Region B too. Shouldn't it work?
The Blu-Rays will work (the movies), but the extra content is all DVD format and are region 2, so you'll need a multiregion DVD player to watch them.
insert bought mine locally sigh
LOL I just bought this last week. Could have saved me $4.
The multiregion DVD thing doesn't phase me, I thought most DVD players in Australia were multi-region anyways.
Shipping is £14.99. Total is about $58. Cheaper with Amazon.
That could be a deal breaker. Did you have to create an account to find out?
Yep, went through all the way and was about to checkout. They don't deduct VAT.
Haha, looks like I chose wisely then. Ouch TS!
Where did you get it for $4 more?
So here we have the same set http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/110478. I was charged $38.42 delivered.
I didn't check this deal properly, assumed that $35 was including delivery.
$38.42 - $35 = $3.42
So yeah, not exact maths but you get the idea.
Oh ok. Looks like Amazon's price went back up. Guess I'll wait.
I can confirm shipping is £14.99 . You not only have to create an account you have to give a credit card upfront.
Not good
I'll vote negative to this deal for that very reason. Shipping is ridiculous as is the required to give a credit card upfront.
Definitely not a very good deal when you factor in shipping & compared to what it's been very recently.
Any talk of a version where each extended movie is on a single blu-ray disc?
Having to disc-swap half way won't kill me, but it's a bit odd in this day and age.
You're dreaming with Blu ray capabilities sadly..
I have this set - I'm pretty sure the special feature DVDs are region-free. I remember searching high and low for what region they were (cause of the PS3 issue) but it wasn't a problem.
Can't remember what I paid - was something around $40 or so, including shipping. It's a good set…shipping is damn expensive from these guys though…
Anyone know who this mob are related to? I've got a spam email from them this morning but have never been to their site before. I assume they got my address from one of the other UK retailers that I do use so was just wondering who.
I'm waiting for the condensed version.
