Cant you just buy directly though the UK licensors? You wont be able to get any products that they haven't licensed in region B unless you buy from down here, which we've already established costs an arm and a leg (or Japan, but not a whole lot of point to that lol).
As Ive said before, its easier and cheaper in the long run to get your hands on a BD player that can be made region free, then you can buy from anywhere. Might I reccomend the Toshiba BDX3200 (I know you can get them on Amazon UK). Making them region free is easy, just a matter of swapping the installed firmware for the Australian version, which is easy to find online.
Anyways, favorite distributor eh...
Domestically its easy, since I only have two options to choose from. Siren beats Madman despite the latter being the power in these waters for two reasons. One is that I HATE the horrible brick packaging that Madman uses/used to use. Horrible looking stuff, plastered in logo's (I know that's a legislative requirement but still...) and really unpleasant to look at. Second, Siren have both Angel Beats and Higurashi Kai, where as Madman rarely pick up my favorites.
Oversea's is tougher since they all have their pro's and con's. Funi probably get's the overall victory since they still understand that not everything has to be moved out the door as cheap and low grade as possible, plus they have lots of titles I like. NISA gets an honorable mention, since ToraDora fiasco aside they put out some pretty nice products, same goes for Nozomi.
