If you buy in dollars (be they US, Canadian, Australian or whatever) then converting using the exchange rate from the paper, or using online sites such as the two I list below will give you a *rough* idea of the cost. However, your credit card company (or bank) will almost always use a slightly different exchange rate, probably a slightly lower one.

I recommend buying region 1 dvds from
www.play247.com
they have all the latest R1 titles, at great prices in £`s and delivery in Europe is Free, and from expreience they about 3 working days to arrive.
The titles maybe slightly more expensive than buying in the US in $ but the speed and ease more than make up for it.

Whats the difference from R1 and R2 DVD`s, lr_daoT[at]moc.oohay
RE: buying from abroad region 1?
Most new films are released first in USA thus R1
R1 often are uncut or contain cut footage on the R2 we get in Europe
