McDonalds were giving away HMV vouchers?

I cannot remember the last time I went to McDonalds, the god awful place. Even for meat eaters they don't sell real burgers. Thanks btw.

Monday's deal:

"Long Way Round - Extended Cut" - £4.99

http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/navigate.do?&pPageID=2982

I wonder why? When "Long Way Down" just finished tonight. I already own the original DVD of "Long Way Round" which I will be selling soon anyway.

Hitchcock: Master Of Suspense Collection: 7 DVD: Box Set - £8.99

I think these are safe to buy. It's the Warner not Universal box set.

12 days later and my account still says:

"Open order - please click on order number for detailed information"

Useless! :shock:

I e-mailed them on Tuesday and so far no reply. I've just e-mailed them again. I bought it for my (twin) sisters birthday tomorrow (as well as something else). I've had to tell her it will be late

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 14 Dec 2007, 23:16

Tell me about it mate, I've had an order on there 'open' for nearly 2 weeks now, and another on there for a few days and counting, despite both being in stock! Annoyingly, the second order is 2 gifts for people, so it had better hurry up and get sent!

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 15 Dec 2007, 00:19

Now I've missed the birthday she's coming down for Xmas. So I may as well wait a few more days before calling them.

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 15 Dec 2007, 00:25

Ask them what the hell they're doing with gasteropod's orders too!

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 17 Dec 2007, 15:41

Mine has shipped today. It only took them 15 days, even at Xmas that's shit.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 24 Dec 2007, 16:37

Well my order finally arrived today. 22 bloody days to ship a simple DVD they presumably had in stock!

Useless!

I was starting to get worried I'd have to tell my sister again it's not arrived. I definitely won't be using HMV again for orders I need for a certain date. It's no wonder they're in financial trouble if this is there level of service.

EDIT: I've literally just received a HMV January sale e-mail. If I bought something I'd be lucky to get it in time for Spring

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest 2-disc SE £2.99

http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProd ... _id=101469

Austin Powers £1.99

good buy as the new SE doesn't seem worth the upgrade

http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProd ... sku=140902

Wheels On Meals 2-disc platinum £5.99

http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProd ... sku=455074

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 25 Dec 2007, 21:11

Austin Powers: The old DVD is the one to go for. It's cheaper, has all the same extras on 1 disc, "possibly" better PQ, is the longer European cut and is in the correct 2.35:1 aspect ratio. The latter two are also on the new "so called" SE but the R1 has neither.

Thanks Salty.

I saw King Kong (2005) 3 Disc SE in store for only £4. It's also £3.99 online too:

http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProd ... sku=561632

I didn't see anything else of note. As usual their Foreign Language sale is virtually non-existent. The HD Disc deal was 3 for 2 but as the discs go for £30 each it didn't seem all that exciting.

Little Britain Series Box sets for £2.99 each:

Series 2:

http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProd ... sku=414272

Series 3:

http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProd ... sku=516851

Series 1 is £6.99, online anyway. They're apparently £3 in store!

Saw the Vengeance Trilogy Boxset (the one with the hammer) for £30 in HMV Brent Cross.

Link below for price comparison and to show which one I mean.
http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/1099100/ ... oduct.html

Didn't buy it, just returned to the country and got no money. I thought it was a good price.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 06 Jan 2008, 17:17

That is a good price. Did they also have the non-hammer version too? Thanks.

Risk · Post by **Risk** » 06 Jan 2008, 20:45

I cannot remember, sorry. Probably? I also saw:

Dragon Tiger Gate Inn (CineAisa/£18 not that great a deal but I didn'tknow wthere was a UK release)

Babycart/Lone Wolf (ArtsMagic/£10)

Rarescope DVDs (£10)

Sonny Chiba Collections Vol 1 & 2 (Optimum/£12 Each)

Dragon Tiger Gate Inn? Huh?
Do you mean Dragon Tiger Gate or Dragon Gate Inn?

Apart from possibly the Chiba sets i don't think those other prices warrant a mention in the bargain forum lol

i'm sure Romero saw those on cd-wow ages ago for 15p each,he just forgot to tell us :twisted:
