Our local branch was bought over by another chain so no closure. Yeh!

The recently opened branch in the new Liverpool One shopping centre is staying open and being renamed "HEAD"

The Liverpool store had loads of BD's priced at £12.99 - 25% off making them £9.74 a pop. Titles i recall were Hellboy 2, Indiana Jones,Enter The Dragon,Iron Man,Babel,Speed, Narnia,Bank Job,How The West Was Won,Full Metal Jacket deluxe,Forbidden Kingdom,Alien Vs. Predator, Batman Gotham Knight,Speed Racer,all the James Bonds etc. loads more,in fact i'd say 85% of their BD'S had been reduced to this level.

Thanks for the info Salty. Was there anything else?

Thanks for the offer btw. I was about to say Full Metal Jacket but it's £9.99 from Play. The cheapest I can find Mongol is £15.99 also from Play.

I'm undecided if it's a keeper so will air on the side of caution and not get it. For those who don't know, Mongol is one of the few Universal BDs that is Region B locked. It does have DTS-HD MA and a Making Of. Over the USA Warner Region Free BD which just has DD5.1 and no Extras (except Digital Copy).

There are loads of titles available.hard to remember them all but i'm not exaggerating when i say at least close on 250..they are in alphabetical order on the racks.Bear in mind i don't think they've had any new titles since end November so the likes of Hellboy 2,Mongol etc are probably the most recent they have.are there any in particular you are after at that price and i'll have a look next time i'm in town.

Thanks for the update again. Fair enough, it's a lot to remember. Here two:

* Red Desert
* Reservoir Dogs - I determined to get the UK version for under a tenner (or there abouts)!

The rest I want, came out this year.
