Would any kind ninja be willing to get the 3 seasons (8£ each atm) and ship them to me? I posted on the GB thread but there wasn't a reply by the host 
Because I believe HMV doesn't send to other EU countries right?
Thanks a lot

US Buyers beware -
While these are reported to be "All Region" discs, they are in the PAL format and not playable past the opening BBC logo clip unless you have a PAL-enabled blu-ray player.

I can send you on a set for £29 (with freepost)
Actually the issue with these discs has nothing to do with PAL, as PAL and NTSC are not relevant in the context of Blu-ray discs.
It seems that some Blu-ray players (and / or older TV sets?) can't properly handle all standard Blu-ray video formats. These discs use 1920 x 1080 50i video format and the
But, e.g., my old Oppo player, when set to region A, has no problems playing the discs.

re: PAL/NTSC - I have read that occasionally the menus or a load screen prior to the main menu on some blu-ray discs might be SD/PAL, so I figured that was the problem here..
I have a new-ish TV and I'm using a PS3 and have never had any problems with any other "standard Blu-ray video formats" before.
Regardless, I already ordered replacement US discs for my steelbooks as the entire set are now coasters to me.
I just figured that people should be made aware that they have the potential to be unplayable in the US, and ot order with caution if they were planning on buying them and watching them.

I remembered wrong, interlaced format is not the issue, it's the 50Hz frame rate (corrected my post above).
If you Google, e.g., "US blu-ray players 50Hz", you'll find it well documented that PS3 is incapable of playing 50i Blu-ray content.
Yes, of course it makes sense to alert collectors to disc incompatibilities. This issue with Sherlock UK discs with some US Blu-ray players was reported on various forums when the UK (plastic case) Blu-rays were released, but obviously this is now potentially a fresh issue for steelbook collectors.
