To buy or not to buy, HD or DVD. Hmm a hard one. Cleopatra interests me and is still only £3.43 with postage added.

There's no need to apologise Grim, part 1 is good value for money.

Cleopatra's no longer available.

Bugger I can see it in my basket at £1.97 but it's not letting me proceed. It must've just run out as I was submitting

Whatever happened to the Braveheart: SE?

£1.97 is crazy. It's £5 at Play though.

After postage "Emperor and the Assassin" is no longer a bargain

The Christpher Reeves Superman Collections good to stick in your basket, only 18 quid for all 9 of them dvds. i bought that the other day and used a £5 voucher thing and knocked my purchase right down

Shame the film turned out to be so average, bar getting to see the tripods on the big screen it was very average, and those are so much more powerful in the album sleeve notes anyway.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 23 Jul 2007, 12:52

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 02 Aug 2007, 19:11

When you add on shipping its a bit over £18. Still a very good price.

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 02 Aug 2007, 19:12

Woah!

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 02 Aug 2007, 19:13

But I've just thought, because it's over £17 you could get stung with a customs charge...

eh? my bill with standard shipping is $34.93 which according to xe.com equates to around £17.20 currently! as for a very good price,understatement of the century,for a 5 disc BLU-RAY release it's sensational. :twisted:

customs is anything over £18-this will be customs safe.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 02 Aug 2007, 20:27

Its a bargain if you like the film

still unsure if I should get the HD Dvd version yet. Still its a good sign they can bring out HD multidvd sets and not charge 40 quid + every time.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 02 Aug 2007, 20:31

It's also £18 before postage remember, so you'll be fine. It's only £13.72 before postage so well under the customs limit.

Amazing price thanks Salty for an amazing film. To confirm though this is the 5 Disc Set but not the pointless (IMO) LE briefcase? I ask as the News Article over at DVD Active says it will be 4 discs OR 5 Discs with the briefcase.

I definitely want all the discs but not the briefcase. What is Amazon's track record for bumping the price after release date? I really shouldn't buy this until I have a HD Player but I am definitely tempted. Presuming it is 5 discs but no briefcase I reckon I'll go for it.
