Another import has been added to the Amazon list today.

Erin Brockovich will be released by MSI:TX2 on September 8th, 2008.

If you click on the image you can clearly see that it is the Japanese Sony release, which is region free.

Erin Brockovich is a Universal Studios property in the USA.

Retail is set at $59.99, the Amazon price is $41.95.

To be honest, if I was to get this title, I would just buy it from Amazon UK (your US login will work just fine) where it is £11 plus around £5 for shipping, so likely around $30 all told.

New Line Cinema will be releasing Kit Kittredge: An American Girl on Blu-ray Disc on October 29th, 2008.
