    I need a favor.

    I've been waiting for this DVD to be released, but now that it has, I find that it only ships to the USA and Canada. I cannot find any other vendor who ships to the UK.

    Unless I haven't found a store that you know of who would ship it to me, would anyone be kind enough to get one for me and ship it over? I'll fully reimburse you, of course, by whichever method you prefer (money order, Paypal, etc.).

    I have always enjoyed the pictures of your work you have posted. At the moment I can't check which DVD it is you want, but unless it is one that will get me in trouble with my wife or the government, I'll be happy to get it for you.

      I could do that. As I type, blockbuster.com is not online (they're updating their site). But you may be able to download the DVD (for a price, of course). Here's some info about Blockbuster in UK:

      In the UK, Blockbuster has been providing a version of online rentals since October 2002 with its "Pay Per Rent" service. This is more like a postal version of store rentals than the traditional online DVD rental subscription model, with per-rental prices of £3.50-£4.50, with a rental period of 5 nights (usually Monday-to-Friday, not including postal delivery times), and late fees (£0.70-0.90 per disc).

      In May 2004, Blockbuster also introduced a conventional online subscription service. The unlimited 3-disc plan is £14.99/month. Unlike the US service, there is no in-store disk exchange.

      Blockbuster's online service has continued to make headway against its more heavily promoted rival LoveFilm, earning accolades in 2006 as the best DVD rental service in an head-to-head test against other similar services by UK magazine Web User, as well as being judged as having the fastest turnaround of titles by DVD rental comparison site ChooseDVDRental
      .

      You might also check out the possibility of online access through iTunes. I checked Amazon.com, and there was no listing.

      Right now it's 4:56 AM here, and I can't physically call any stores to check stock. You're about 6 hours ahead of me I think, and probably chomping at the bit for this DVD. So, check online, and when all the sleepyhead businesses open here I'll check for you.

      Last resort: I can order it from here, and physically mail it to you. Whatever you decide, make sure it is only one of us doing this, so you don't get multiple copies.

        Before anyone orders it for you, can you watch it? (both Region code, and PAL verse NTSC)

            Yes, thanks for asking, though. My machine plays all regions/formats.

            Thanks for the offers, guys, appreciated!

              Get yourself a good bit torrent program. I recommend uTorrent.

              And download it yourself
