So, a while ago I posted about Amazon Canada’s and its ripping off of Canadians for books supporting the James Cameron movie Avatar. Well, that brain trust is at it again with the DVD release of the movie.

In the USA, the movie is available for preorder as a two disc dvd/blu-ray set for the price of $24.99.

The Canadian version of Amazon is ripping us of by offering the Blu-ray disc at $29.99 as shown by the screen shot below.

I find it astounding that Amazon would con us in this way. The Canadian is not $.66 compared to the US dollar. We are hovering just below par at around the $.97-98 mark. That would suggest a price of around $26 for the double pack, which is not even offered to Canadian.

Avatar fans, lets get together and force Amazon to rethink its practices and ensure that we get a fair deal. Tweet this post to @amazon. Link to it in your blogs. Don’t let this travesty continue, don’t let large companies treat us like crap. Demand fairness.

Thanks…
