     Attention all Europeans...JTA's good friend Iain writes in on how to save a few Pounds on each of the OOT DVDs. Here is what he discovered:
Quick bit of news. Play.com are offering the UK versions of the new SW:OT DVDs on pre-order at £16.99 each. However, their international store PlayUSA.com is offering UKbuyers the USversions of the DVDs at £14.99 each. Now, if this is a mistake (which is likely) they are obliged to honour the original price to those who pre-order at that price.
Thanks Iain!!
