Looking at the new John Barrowman things. Expensive, expensive stuff with the exchange rate. "Anything Goes" is listed at $38.63. "Another Side" is $18.31. Torchwood Series One is $83.88, which sounds reasonable until I realized that Heroes was being sold for half that price.

And, of course, none of this includes shipping from the UK.

Edit: Actually, shipping from the UK is cheaper than shipping from Canada: it's only $6.26 for one CD/DVD vs $9.98 for the same thing from Canada. Which seems so very wrong.

So, I'm pretty much down to figuring out how to get "Anything Goes" in grubby paws and waiting for the Region 1 disks to come out for Torchwood. Though the box art for Region 2 is really, really pretty.

I just can't get myself past the part where I'm wincing clicking the "buy now" button. *sighs*

Speaking of Amazon:

The Torchwood DVD is priced at $60 USD, and slated for 22 January release date. Please consider waiting that two extra months, as the price for the UK release on 19 November is $83.88 USD, plus $6.26 USD shipping. Actually, depending on international shipping, it may just be cheaper period to order from the US. ( like 29.50 GBP, plus 3.92 GBP shipping ( plus VAT ) vs 41.99 GBP ) Uhm, exchange rate for the win?

...Yeah, totally did not just price everything out to figure out where it's cheaper to buy everything, as of today. Though if I have to do international shipping, it's gonna be cheaper to do UK than Canada. Because the base price of the audio books is $10 cheaper, let alone the international shipping rates from the UK is than Canada. ( $17.43 USD, plus $6.24 shipping vs $26.26 USD plus $8.98 shipping. There's the issues of taxes/customs but that's... going to be up there either way. )
