Damn, seems they are region locking shit. Hope SV can get their shit sorted lol.

What's the purpose of region locking? I don't quite understand what it achieves? Lol

I've been reading loads on Google this morning and it looks like the best place for UK folks to get it from is Australia. According to everything I've read, it'll work no problem because Australia and UK are both Region B.

Yeah, I know about Australia, was just hoping I could still get them from America at least too, since there are things on wweshop.com I could order at the same time that I can't get anywhere else . Just gonna wait now for SV to either sort it out or announce they aren't able to sell them any more and then I'll have to import them from AussieLand. Wonder if it will be cheaper to get someone over there to buy them and post them to me.

Probably will be cheaper if you can find someone cos at least that way they can mark it as a gift so you avoid customs. Luckily for me I have a region free player so I can just keep buying the US releases as I always do, only way the SV problems affect me is for the PPV BDs that don't get released in the US.

On the talk of classic Survivor Series matches, the last one that really meant something was probably the Raw / Smackdown one in 2005 but my favorite is still by far the 2001 Winner Take All.

Looks like I'll be getting someone to buy them for me then. Thank god I know people in Australia lol.

Wish the PS3 was easily hackable to make region free, like the Wii . Might have to save up and get a region free bluray player at some point. Maybe.

My favourite Survivor Series elimination match is the massive 20 man (10 tag teams, I think) match from one of the early ones. Heard people praise it for a couple of years but only got around to watching it about a year ago. Goes like, 40 minutes and is fucking awesome.

Just to throw it out there, I've had a look and jbhifionline.com.au seems to be the cheapest in terms of shipping to the UK.

Region locking was a standard that the movie studios wanted once DVD goes away. Some movies see a home release in one part of the world where it's seeing a theatrical run in another. As opposed to having high definition copies of blu rays flying overseas to undermine a theatrical run, region locking allows movie studios to do both simultaneously if they wanted.

KingCal if you do need an Australian, I'll be happy to help out.
