No they haven't. Xena Season 3 is now up for free... just ordered it!

Cool. That wasn't part of Romero's list though. I won't order anymore until/if my existing two ship. I don't want to push the boat.

True it wasn't... and it wasn't at 0 either when that old list was in effect. Meaning that this item has either inherited the bug, or has seriously come down in price.

My point though was that there are still some DVDs that are priced at FREE on the site.

Cool. I wonder which others there are?

If there was something I wanted I'd try it... but I'm not ordering shit just for the sake of getting it free.

Anyone spots any decent items post here (I find CD-Wow's search engine a pain in the arse to use).

There are too many to go looking thru now, well over 20000 items. Pot luck.

Has anyone compiled any sort of list Romero?

Right now I'm waiting to see if mine ship before looking for more.

Salty and I are getting them to make easy cash not because they're "just free".

It's dead simple to list things on eBay. I wouldn't do it with loads of items as it then becomes a hassle but 1-3 items takes no time at all and you can make easy cash. I wouldn't do it by taking a risk and buying them hoping I can make a profit but when they're free there is no risk.

A Tale of Two Sisters, Natural Born Killers and Bad Education are all decent.

A Tale of Two Sisters is amazing, one of te best horrors ever.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 20 Jan 2008, 16:19

It's gone now but it looked like it was the USA 2 Disc Tartan SE too.

It said the "rated" version for ATOTS... does that mean it was cut?

And yeah ATOTS is one of the best, if not THE best, suspense horror I've ever seen, and one of my most favourite films of all time.

I think it means it's just R rated nothing more. I wouldn't rely on the info on CD WOW about each title, it's very vague.

According to DVD Beaver the R1 maybe PAL to NTSC. The UK R2 is Native PAL. The running time over DVD Beaver is virtually the same.

Well there also was an unrated version available (not for free) on the site, which is why I figured there must be some difference...

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 20 Jan 2008, 23:57

Weird, nothing is mentioned at Rewind:

http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=5252

All the reviews I can find at DVD Basen also say "Unrated Version" but none mentioned why it's Unrated or that different versions even exist. I'm going to guess Tartan opted not to get it rated and hence it's Unrated.

Is there anything that would cause it to be cut at R? I've yet to see it.

I thought TWO SISTERS and NATURAL BORN KILLERS were both shite.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 21 Jan 2008, 12:27

Bad Education then

It's not Asian or Macho so probably won't appeal to most on this forum but I thought it was excellent. Pretty Hitchcockian in places. The fantastic Gael Garcia Benarle is in in too. I think 68 Monkey liked it also.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 21 Jan 2008, 17:21

NATURAL BORN KILLERS is shite

but it has been 12 years since I last saw it.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 21 Jan 2008, 22:50

It's great. I've always liked it. It's very underrated. The DC is even better.

EDIT: My god my two items (Xena + Police Story box sets) are pending dispatch

Oh well:

We are writing to you regarding your order placed with us over the weekend.

Due to a technical glitch, our supplier of Region 1 DVDs has given us a data feed which contains deleted titles which they cannot fulfill. Therefore we are writing to advise that we had to cancel your order and process a refund where necessary.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 22 Jan 2008, 16:39

Ahh but thats the Region 1 items only so far

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 22 Jan 2008, 17:01

I think most of them were R1. Are there any bargains left which aren't R1?

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 22 Jan 2008, 17:26

No idea

will find out soon I guess.
