The General DVD/HD Disc Bargains Thread!

[Markgway]

I liked the first half of Predator with the suspenseful build up and one-by-one elimination of the commandos... but once it became man vs beast I started to lose interest. If they tightened up the protracted finale it would be a more effective film. Not saying I won't check it out again sometime though. But am not desperate to own a bare bones BD of it.

I like both Predators and have both blu-ray's. Predator is definitely an improvement on the dvd,once you recover from probably the grainiest opening credits i've seen on blu-ray

[bradavon]

Really? You said when you first got it, it wasn't much of an upgrade or where you basing that on the original silly price?

Predator is comfortably superior to the dvd but isn't as good as it should be imo. the opening scenes are the worst i've seen on blu-ray but i think that's inherent of the original film stock.things improve dramatically when they arrive in the jungle.

I Posted that in March 2008 Brad.it's not great but definitely better than the dvd.i'm sure there's a far superior version to come some day but at the moment this is the best we've got.

[bradavon]

Fair enough.

DDDHouse are having a blu-ray sale.it's laughable to call it a sale given the still high prices but Accidental Spy for example at £13ish delivered is the cheapest it's been.

Thanks Salty. Rambo UK BD is Region B for those who need to know, oddly the USA one isn't.

The Black Hawk Down BD is excellent with the 3 commentaries and 2Hrs (or similar) making of, oddly called a "featurette" on the rear cover. Sadly the excellent History Channel documentary is missing. I've kept my 4 Disc Korean SB Deluxe too.

Thanks Salty. Rambo UK BD is Region B for those who need to know.

Even though it claims ABC on the back.

[bradavon]

Correct. It incorrectly says it's Region Free:

+ 8% Quidco remember

[HungFist]

Criterion 50% off

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/holiday-g ... id=1503673

EDIT: add coupon: F4B9F7R

It says it's 20% off here, but it actually gave me a $8 reduction from approx $70.

EDIT 2: "Order cannot be processed". yee yee

EDIT 3: "Your order has been scheduled to ship"

[Shingster]

Thanks for the link Hung, I know Amazon.com are doing the same titles at the same price but B&N is actually a little cheaper on shipping for more than 2 titles and their standard shipping option is Airmail, which I think will be faster than Amazon's. I also have a feeling you've got a better chance with customs as well. I've slapped 6 titles on my Xms list

[bradavon]

Thanks Hung. When does the code expire?

$8 isn't 50% of 70$. Have I missed something? Probably.
