Universal HD-DVD Sale, it works out at £7.70 each for two:

These are the same titles in the recent 50% off at Amazon.com but should work out cheaper (they were £10 each at Amazon).

I've gone for:

Lost in Translation
Carlito's Way

At those prices I couldn't resist.

Three at £18.50 before postage is too risky!

You have been busy, haven't you :D

How concerned are you about Toshiba dropping HD-DD or are you going to enjoy it while it lasts?

As I've said before I'm going to hold off until May now which is when Samsung's next Combo is due and Panasonic's Profile 2.0 Player is due in America. I hear the Europe could be getting it as early as next month. There shouldn't be any reason to wait longer than that.

Excludes preorders I believe, but does include items that are presently out of stock. You can use each code as many times as you like, if it stops working move onto the next code. Theres a tonne fo them floating about.

I used the same one 4 times so far. It ussually runs for a week, but best to get orders in quickly.

There is no TrueHD on the UK version. For only £3.40 more I'd take the USA version, and yes we know you don't think lossless audio is worth it ;).

What would you consider a bargain for a HD disc Brad?

No bargain as in a bargain price. $1/£1 less than elsewhere doesn't make it a bargain in my book. Regardless I cannot see many. Not against MovieTyme, Inetvideo, TheHut or HMV.
grim_tales wrote:What would you consider a bargain for a HD disc Brad?
For single disc/2 disc SE's -

£5 or under for a HD-DVD
£10 or under for a BD

Obviously depending on the title in question. If a BD is above £12 I dislike it and if a HD-DVD is above £8 I dislike it too, but ultimately I stand by my £10 rule, whereby if it's under £10 I'm interested but above I give it more thought.

I didn't bother posting it as the $50 vouchers are pointless.

your 10% & free shipping savings will be more than wiped out by the juicy customs charge you'll receive for going over the limit.wherehouse are not customs friendly.

As Salty says, it's pointless. I would post it otherwise but no Non-UK members seem interested.

Thankfully their "Free postage and no limit" offers are good.

I've just ordered Motorcycle Diaries from Sendit, not remotely a bargain (£17.89) but it's expensive everywhere, isn't going down in price and I don't want to lose out. The cheapest I saw it was £16.39 from BlahDVD but it's no longer listed.

I've also bid on Oldboy on eBay.com. If I lose out the cheapest I can find it is $27.98 form Tower.com, including international postage.

I've just got to pick up The Proposition and T2: German, which I'm still undecided on :D. I may wait for the cheaper BD. I doubt I'll ever watch the extras and I do still have the UE DVD.
