Same, well, £18.15 but I got charged £1.99 by my bank for none sterling fees. Still miles better than Zavvi, however, the Best Buy versions are sooo much prettier!
It's funny how we EU guys have the chance to order stuff from amazon US or UK and place the order in Euros and you guys get billed 2 pounds (which is outrageous). Even when preordering, I have never paid a fee for currency converting. Keep good ol' David and his financial thugs in power for another 5 years guys! (JK)

It's completely down to the bank's how much they charge for currency conversion. Mine for example charges 2.75%, others charge that or more plus a set fee, others charge a little less.

To the best of my knowledge, I don't think they're allowed to do that anymore - I know HSBC (the bank I use) used to, but now list fees separately. http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/overseas-card-charges - a breakdown of what various banks charge for anyone interested.

You can be charged in pounds, but only if it is not a pre-order. Also, in that case Amazon charge you a currency conversion fee instead (so it'd be a matter of working out if Amazon's fee of the bank charges would work out better for you).
