The General DVD/HD Disc Bargains Thread!

[bradavon]

If you want the Theatrical Cut and Extended Special Edition, the new BD is the best BD out there. That much is fact.

[grim_tales]

Then unless you want to own both BDs (which I still say the older one is "overall" worse), you're stuck with the new SE. The only other way to get the Theatrical Cut is the old USA BD and that's rubbish.

Both old and new UK BDs have a perfectly fine picture, they're just not HD WOWness! They're better than the Ultimate Edition DVD.

The new SE (which has all 3 cuts right?) sounds fine IMO
I quite like the feature of "While you were posting a new reply was posted"

I Have the old version DC and that'll do me.no interest in extras or multiple cuts.i haven't seen the new release but the consensus across forums i've read reckon it's an inferior transfer. Mark has the old TC usa i think and i'm sure he reckons it's ok.

Don't hold me to that... lol

It was the first BD I checked.

[bradavon]

So it's rubbish then?

I'm pretty sure it's only a BD25 with an old MPEG2 transfer. It also only has DD5.1 or DTS and the DTS is faulty on some discs (according to the DVD Talk review). I say some discs as it works for some people. I'd be annoyed if I had to watch T2 in only DD5.1. 1.5Mbps audio sounds so much better.

[Markgway]

So it's rubbish then?

I never said that. It's clearly not rubbish. That much I would've noticed. It's better than the DVD. I never watched the whole thing thru which why I wouldn't hold my opinion up as valuable.

[bradavon]

How much better than the DVD? Of what you saw.

[Markgway]

I don't remember. I'll watch it in full sometime and post my thoughts then. That's unless I get the Skynet Ed in the interim.

[grim_tales]

Gamestation in-store are having a blu-ray sale,prices are £3.98/£4.98 and stock varies from store to store.some i spotted:

I went into my local Gamestation a couple of weeks ago on a whim and they'd cleared out ALL of their Blu Rays. If there was a clearout sale I missed it!

[saltysam]

So did mine but they have got stock back in for this sale.

[Markgway]

I'll check again...

[romerojpg]

Yup went into our local, none in store sadly.

The Wrestler £7.48 at Amazon.co.uk:

The Wrestler £7.49 at HMV:

http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDet ... sku=940048

Spec. looks the same as the USA disc but it also has an extra interview. According to the DVD Therapy review it's Region B but it's in the general Spec. anywhere, so they may not have checked it.

[romerojpg]

Cheaper elsewhere

[bradavon]

Where have you seen it for less? Thanks.

Why mention it, if you don't want to say where you saw it? I checked 8 of the biggest stores online and these 2 were the cheapest. Most were nearer a tenner.

EDIT: It's £6.99 on eBay, only 1 listing though. It's also an Ex-Rental, so doesn't count.

[romerojpg]

Where have you seen it for less? Thanks.

£7.11 at HMV with Quidco but again them 3 seconds it takes to press a button must be to hard for you.

[bradavon]

WTF! I gave the HMV link. It's a given, it will be cheaper if you use Quidco on top too. Besides it's still £7.49 at HMV. You get the money back later.

[romerojpg]

and? You did not state a price after discounts, so you are wrong.

[bradavon]

Likewise I didn't say you couldn't get it cheaper with discounts.

[romerojpg]

Then do not bother posting a bargain ever again if it is not the cheapest it can be got for.

[grim_tales]

No one here would bother posting bargains then as not everybody here uses flippin' cashback according to you Oh a saving of 38p whoopee doo.
