Red Heat is ace, easily better than many of Arnie faves like Commando. It's one of my face Arnie films.

This might sound daft but I hate having films I don't like in my collection. Having Red Heat on my shelf would bug me. :icon_suspect:

robo 3 is not bad, although is like kid's movie. The ninja cyborg is pretty cool though.

RC2 pales in comparison to the original, BUT, if you take it for what it is (a let's squeeze some extra $$$ sequel) it's actually not that bad. Better than RC3 which really didn't fit the series. I didn't hate RC3, I just don't know what they were thinking with the sanitised PG-13 hack job... at least RC2 is nasty as shit.

Morrissons (in store) have Expendables BD for £14.99 and if you buy that you can also got either Chaos or Revolver on DVD for free (normally a fiver each). Dunno if those 2 movies are any good though.

5 brand new releases for £10 each isn't good?show me where you can get them cheaper then.how much do you expect we should be paying for brand new (not catalogue) titles some of which were only released this week?the 5 i bought would've cost me just under £85 on Amazon.like i said let me know where i'll find these for less than a tenner each.

Expendables is newly released this week too, so getting the BD for the equivalent of a tenner sounds pretty good IMO.

the 2 for £22 is probably a better deal for most people as finding 5 you want could be tough.in my case 2 are presents,2 are for me & Knight & Day i picked up to watch at the weekend.if,as likely it's not a keeper i'll take it with me to work Monday and bring it in to cex,who will give me £15 cash for it ;) it's the best blu-ray deal on new titles in this country currently,i don't think Mark will be happy with the price of Blu's until they are given away free with the Daily Mail :evil:

It's not so much that £10 is a bad price for a new release, but you have to buy FIVE to get that value. Who can find five new films worth buying? I guess it's not so bad if you know you can make your money back at CEX - but we don't have a CEX so getting rid of Blus is difficult. For most people £50 is a fair bit to lay down in one go. It makes more sense to wait unless you must have each title on day of release.

judging by the big threads elsewhere hundreds of people :cool: it's christmas,lots of people are getting players as presents so five new releases to go with their machine is a fantastic deal at a tenner each.Even the 2 for £22 is a great offer and smashes any online price for these titles-and finding 2 new titles out of 25 isn't hard.
Markgway wrote:I guess it's not so bad if you know you can make your money back at CEX
Actually i'd make a nice profit at cex if i could be arsed-the fact i could buy 5 movies,watch them over a few days and trade them in at a possible £20 profit shows what a good deal this is. -

trade?

not if you have the cash and want the films.
Markgway wrote:It makes more sense to wait unless you must have each title on day of release.
why should people wait if there's five films they want and they have the readies :? fair dos Mark my reaction was more your reply to my post,you appeared amazed that i'd think £50 for 5 brand new releases was a good price.well i'm sorry but we'll have to disagree,it's a stonking deal for people interested.you aren't,fair enough but that doesn't make it a bad deal.

Yeah, it's just a matter of opinion. As long as you think it's a bargain that's what counts. Not what I think. I'm more of a cheap skate as we all know... :D

Trades are down to nothing these days. I couldn't shift my BDs if I threw in a free blow job from my sister. I'm sure there are major forums where it would be easier but I'm not interested in those.

Getting rid of Blu-rays is no harder than DVDs, maybe a little but at least you can still get some decent money for Blu-rays. If they're region locked it's much harder, unlike DVDs where it doesn't matter.

Also depends on where you live.

We only have one second hand record store so the market is theirs.
