The General DVD/HD Disc Bargains Thread!

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 29 Jun 2006, 20:20

They keep sticking "printed off a PC" lists on the shelves! as the shelves dont hold them all, the last list was massive and I had a peek, but way to many on it and it was busy too. A shop which stick printed lists on the shelves is odd, but they doi have amazing bargains and its esspecially crap when I see a cd I just bought down to £1.99 already

it pays to wait.

You have every right to return it as what they sold was not what you thought you were buying and were mislead. Demand a retail disc or a refund and if they don't comply threaten them with trading standards. They'll back down.

It usually says on rental DVDs to contact a number if a shop has sold you that copy, then they'll get in big trouble.

it's probably not even music zone's fault.the dvd was sealed and doesn't mention rental on the packaging does it? hardly a case for death by firing squad

you are joking when you say you'd argue something that cost 1p aren't you

life's wayyy too short to get bothered about things as trivial as a £2.97 dvd 8)

Some of the DVD's I've seen sold online/in shops have "For Rental or resale" on the back of the box or on the discs, but they're not rental versions

TBH for the price I paid for something like Gone With The Wind 4 disc or Adventures of Robin Hood SE I don't care

I'd complain too, definitely. I HATE rental copies. Some rental copies are identical to the retail ones so I don't mind those but the ones which have those ghastly "rental" banners or even worse no extras no thanks.

How much is La Haine LE at Music Zone?

Don't do that do as Mark says. You're well within your rights.

saltysam wrote:i truly couldn't be arsed over £2.97

In itself I couldn't either but they did sell Romero something different from what he thought he was getting so complain definitely.

saltysam wrote:house of flying daggers 2-disc £4.97 music zone

This is worth it for the extras alone. They've very good, especially the commentary. I paid £5.99 for it.

saltysam wrote:lock,stock & 2 smoking barrels shotgun SE £4.97 music zone

This is from the TV series right?

Thanks. I do wonder how they price things up sometimes, shops in general that is.

True but not excepting it back is.

saltysam wrote:you are joking when you say you'd argue something that cost 1p aren't you

To everyone else except Romero who'd argue over half a penny if they still existed

You would if it has 10 forced trailers, no menus, no extras and shite compressed picture.

Oh yeah thanks I'd forgotten all about that. I'm happy with my UK R2 DC; I'm not interested in extras on this one.

If you mean me I was already agreeing with you.
