No, they can only do it before shipping -- and if they do catch the error, they apparently give you the option to cancel or continue at the higher price.Gigi M. wrote:What about after shipping?sevenarts wrote:Yea, it's gotta be the same one, and the pricing is quite obviously because Tower thinks it's a 4-disc set.

On the Tower website it now says 'Sorry, this title is not currently available' which probably means they've caught on to the miss price but are honouring the low price.

Got mine from Tower yesterday and watched Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. Looks like a great set for an unbeatable price, and I really enjoyed my first exposure to Almodovar. The film was hilarious, much more so than I was expecting. Just lots of fun, and visually very stylish. The opening may have been my favorite part in terms of pure visuals -- the almost abstract transitions between TV images, the sleeping woman, the voiceover recording, and what seemed to be an 8 1/2 inspired dream (except here a nightmare because it was the woman dreaming it rather than the man, a neat inversion of perspective).

Got the set today and two pleasant surprises awaited me: firstly, the package went throught customs and I was not charged which is rare for big, heavy boxsets like these (thank you, Tower Records!); and secondly, I already went through the whole of the bonus extras disc and found all the featurettes extremely pleasing and seldom repetitive while at the same time offering a lot of insight into Almodovar's career and films and even his childhood and youth (which I knew little about) in a total of roughly 2 hours of solid interviews and comments.
Great, great set and I'm only sad that we will have to wait until he releases another film before we see an eventual (fingers crossed?) second volume.

I have lots of questions about the remainder of Almodovar's films that no one seems to be able to answer. So I'm going to my film-nerd go-to forum:
Dark Habits - the customer review on Amazon.com says the the Wellspring release at 114 min is cut, yet the other versions I've been able to find have run between 96-100 min, which would make the Wellspring the most complete.
What Have I Done to Deserve This?: DVDBeaver says the UK version is pretty severely cropped, the Wellspring doesn't appear to be cropped from what I've read, but I can't find anywhere that will vouch for the AV quality. Amazon.ca states that is is an RSDL HD transfer though, so that sounds promising, any thoughts?
Pepi, Luci, Bom: Am I to understand that the UK version is as good as any?
Kika, Atame, and Tacones Altos: Which ones should I go for? There were a bunch of Almodovar films released in Australia last year, anybody seen those yet? Kika is readily available in the UK, as is Atame, but I can't find a readily availble version of High Heels.
Help me!!
