You could always eBay it and buy the standard HK DVD:

The R4 looks to be NTSC-PAL.

The Avant Garde CE has a great DTS track.

the bottom seems to have fell out of the dvd market.a few months ago i'd trade dvds in at cex,get a credit note and use it when they get BD's i'm after in.looking at the site now,you get literally pennies. eg office series 1 £1.20 ,wolf creek 2-disc 80p

and they are exchange prices,cash is even less!

You can always keep them and in 20 years time when your an old man get them out and have a giggle

I have many hundreds of VHS tapes in the loft, been there for 10 years nearly

not selling them for 1p each, I would rather keep them.

But if I ever need a good bonfire, they will burn for hours

I think the bottom fell out awhile ago, most people only want to spend £1-2 on a second hand DVD now. That is a poor price for The Office though. That said as our series are usually so short and The Office is only 2 discs it's considered a standard DVD not a box set.

I haven't been able to get onto Quidco today, is it working for anyone else?

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 01 Jun 2008, 11:56

managed to pick about 50 to go so far,a long way to go

starting to have to make some tough decisions....i think the Godfather Trilogy will have to go....good films but how often would i watch them?

Killer Meteor · Post by **Killer Meteor** » 01 Jun 2008, 23:51

I don't know

For £5 to £10 a disc and a lifetime to watch it whenever you choose, i call that a real bargain. For me, non-anamorphic and standards conversion are expendable but otherwise I keep everytihing

That said, if you wanna get rid fo any of your German DVDs of kung fu flix, Salty, let me know

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 02 Jun 2008, 00:04

it's just a space issue Ivan.a small terraced house wasn't built to house nearly 2000 dvds

i probably exaggerated when i said i wanted to reduce by nearly half but i do need to lose a fair few. i'll give you a shout about the german discs but to be honest i can't see me getting rid of them

Killer Meteor · Post by **Killer Meteor** » 02 Jun 2008, 00:27

I get around space issues with Case logic folders. Its my books I'm struggling with!!!

HAppy birthday!

I'm 22 in September. Is there anyone younger here? Seems I'm the youngest on every forum I frequent!

Happy Birthday gastero!

Oh, so you people aren't just acting like kids.

Happy Birthday Gasteropod.

I remember being 22. Long ago... once...
It was a time when the sun didn't burn your skin, when cars were pulled by real horses and when "safe sex" meant giving your date a wrong telephone number.

Treasure it, Gasteropod. The world gets shittier every minute.
Damn I'm depressed.

Really? I thought you were 10 times that.

Happy Birthday. Did you get any nice BDs or is it too risky to let family buy them? I find it is, they always buy the wrong one.

Your not as clever as me with the selective quoting Brad.that was a fairly lame effort tbh, you need to try harder

According to you I'm clueless though
