Difference in price for the same DVD

Can someone please explain this . . .
Recently got into Buffy (ooh err) and went to order the second series. The prices are: Amazon - £58.99 new, or £49.99 used, and Play have it at £59.99 , HOWEVER, Play also have the region one version for £35.99, which even has extra features on !

How can this be, checked and double checked but they are definately the same series, same no. of discs etc etc, I just don't get the price difference. If you have a look at Amazon for a used one, some clever chappy is even selling a region one disc for £50.00, when brand new delivered they are £35

Any comments . . . . .

 

ian, only thing I could think of is that the R1 boxset has been out a few months were as the R2 boxset is pretty much new.

If you've got multi-zone the choice is easy.
(You may have to pay tax on it though !)

 

Yes the unfortunate thing with play now is that you will almost certainly get hit for tax when you order region 1 stuff from them

For example I ordered the Babylon 5 season 3 region 1 (not out here till november!) in august and got stung a whopping £13.00 tax on top.
