I knew that it would be a fast seller and a power seller too! It's too cool, if someone hasn't bought the special edition, I can assure you that it's the best i've seen so far!

I am not suprirsed that they would sell that fast. I feel a bit sorry for anyone who lives in the UK and has to wait because the US got it first though. I would never sleep until I got mine if I lived there in the UK. They have a little bit more fans there because they get to enter contests and stuff like that which many US fans wish too, because UK is first where the author is born and second where the story in some cases takes place which explains why mostly.

That's wonderful! It had the same effect in the U.S. so I wouldn't expect anything less in the U.K. I'm proud to be one of the ownerd of the GoF dvd and to be a fan of such a vast universe. I hope that Hp has this luck for years to come.
