Is Ben Hur worth checking out at £9.99 (anyone who's seen it).

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 29 Oct 2006, 13:42

I've never heard a bad thing, is that conclusive enough?

Awesome package, if a little big (physically).

Isn't it a digipack?

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 29 Oct 2006, 17:31

Yes, why? It's a big box though, about a 1/4 bigger than the GWTW one.

"The Ten Commandments" 50th Anniversary Edition (3 Disks) £5.49 -

I thought if it was a digi it would be about the same size as a Simpsons box or the GWTW one.

BOTW only has French Dolby Surround.

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 14 Nov 2006, 00:11

R2UK Mulholland Drv only has Dumby Stereo 5.1. The R1 has a marvellous DTS track which really does add to the film, especially Angelo Badalamenti's outstanding score.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 14 Nov 2006, 18:32

Stereo 5.1? DD5.1 is Discrete not Matrix so no it's not Stereo.

Lost Season 2 £24.99 @ Movietyme:

http://www.movietyme.com/catalog/produc ... s_id=30660

When I put the price in $ ($44.98) into Currency Converter it comes up as £23.72. I also have a 50p discount voucher - would the cheapest way to order be in $ with a discount?

I know the price can be "displayed" in £ but do you pay in £ or $? I cant remember

As I have said before its £5 cheaper at deepdiscountdvd. so stuff Moviepants.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 15 Nov 2006, 18:23

£5 cheaper than £24.99 isn't customs safe so it could be risky, no? I'd guess the customs charge would be more than £5, no?

grim_tales wrote:I know the price can be "displayed" in £ but do you pay in £ or $? I cant remember

AFAIK you pay in whichever you checkout with, personally I flip it to Sterling.

How did you get a 50p voucher?

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 15 Nov 2006, 18:28

Nope its 20 delivered! so way under customs, use the 20% off vocher codes and no way customs will get it

as I said Movie tyme are an overpriced place and rarley (if ever) do they have a good deal on any title.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 15 Nov 2006, 18:36

Why didn't you say that

I've just checked and it's $28.27/£20.62 but more importantly $29.32/£15.52 before postage so yep get it from DDD. £4-5 cheaper.

Agreed I rarely ever use MovieTyme. I've just used them for a HD-DVD Combo but then those are only pennies different everywhere and could work out more when conversion comes into play. I've not used MovieTyme since 2004

.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 15 Nov 2006, 18:46

I have used Movietyme 3 times I think

so very rare.

Sad thing is Lost Season 2 I paid 27 quid

as Yesasia mucked up my order, it was shipped pretty much the day the Deep Discount sale was announced, I was gutted at throwing away 7 quid. Yesaisa morons!

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 15 Nov 2006, 18:53

What they over-charged you and didn't give you a refund? How much should've it been? I've never considered looking at Yes Asia for non-Asian.
