I'd settle for knowing if and when the real UK version of a DVD/Blu-ray/box set is coming out and then finding it without numerous clones when it does. Apart from books, this used to be the one thing Amazon clearly did better than almost anyone else.

Today, particularly for US TV shows, there are usually lots of alternatives available from non-Amazon-but-kinda-from-Amazon sources long before anything official is released here. However, prices and availability shown vary almost by the minute and sometimes rather sharply, and even whether the discs will actually play in a UK region player often seems like a random result.

I've really been going off Amazon in recent years, particularly since they started trying to be all things to all people, using highly volatile pricing algorithms, and spamming upsell promotions all over their previously straightforward checkout process. Sadly, since they had also successfully killed off just about everyone selling physical media from bricks and mortar stores first, and since I prefer to actually own my media instead of renting it from some streaming service, there are few other suppliers left.

Competition has utterly failed in the movie and TV show market now, and I fear this will only get worse as more films and TV shows are locked into one proprietary library/streaming service or another as the only (legal) source and even the likes of Amazon can't supply real permanent copies.
