Maybe you could do a group order with someone?

Thus with the postage on top (which is expensive unless you buy 2-3) it bumps the price to make the 20% mean very little. Criterions are still £15-17 that's not a bargain.

EvaUnit02 wrote:Many on the Dvdtalk forums seem to grabbing Criterions, ~$23 is very cheap for one of them.
Good idea cheers. Yeah but once you've added postage it's suddenly no longer a bargain.

But postage is free??

For us no, but it is cheap enough.

My bad! Sorry,
I think I'll get it from CD-WOW instead with the voucher.

It's worth remembering:

STEVEWWF wrote:the good thing with DDD is that they have international postage fixed at $14.95 no matter how much you order over $50.......so find that ordering items under the £18 ($33) customs limit is all very good but have to add another £5.00 ($8.95) postage so does not work out as much of a bargain.

Put another way yes UK residents will incur a customs charge but it should/could be much lower than that of the postage elsewhere. One guy over at the DVD Forums has bought £150 worth of DVDs.

Far to much for me mind you. I was thinking £30 tops.

I have £300 pounds worth of stuff in my basket

not sure how I want to proceed yet, its very, very hard to work out whats cheaper. All together, or some under customs limit, or just go to dvdpasirfic and order there

sooo confusing working out what the hell to do with them all.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 13 Jun 2006, 22:26

Gave in and only ordered a selection from my basket

Back ordered items are still eligible for the 20% sale, even if they don't fill before the end of the sale. Only pre-release items are excluded.
Back filled a fair amount of my anime collection in that sale.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 14 Jun 2006, 18:09

Time and Tide, $5. bargain indeed.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 15 Feb 2008, 03:11

Universal HD-DVD Sale, it works out at £7.70 each for two:

http://www.deepdiscount.com/viewcategor ... t=#listtop

These are the same titles in the recent 50% off at Amazon.com but should work out cheaper (they were £10 each at Amazon).

I've gone for:

Lost in Translation
Carlito's Way

At those prices I couldn't resist.

Three at £18.50 before postage is too risky!

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 22 Feb 2008, 10:46

I've ordered:-
Carlito's Way
The Thing
12 Monkeys
Inside Man
The Sting
Army of Darkness
The Frighteners
Lost in Translation
Tremors

You have been busy, haven't you

How concerned are you about Toshiba dropping HD-DD or are you going to enjoy it while it lasts?

As I've said before I'm going to hold off until May now which is when Samsung's next Combo is due and Panasonic's Profile 2.0 Player is due in America. I hear the Europe could be getting it as early as next month. There shouldn't be any reason to wait longer than that.

The latter, cest la vie. I hope to pick a LG combo rom drive when I have the cash, as I said in the other thread.

I would rather have th Uk version for £4.48p from HMV etc..

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 07 Jun 2008, 20:25

There is no TrueHD on the UK version. For only £3.40 more I'd take the USA version, and yes we know you don't think lossless audio is worth it

.

Thanks Brad

I will see what there is

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 07 Jun 2008, 23:26

The Deep Discount sale has been extended by another week, the code is SUMMERSALE

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 22 Jun 2008, 13:15

Cheers Grim. I cannot see any bargains on HD Disc prices, unless I'm missing any?

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 22 Jun 2008, 14:37

Bargain as in cheaper than any other place for many HD discs, then yes they are.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 22 Jun 2008, 14:44

What would you consider a bargain for a HD disc Brad?

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 22 Jun 2008, 15:08

romerojpg wrote:Bargain as in cheaper than any other place for many HD discs, then yes they are.

No bargain as in a bargain price. $1/£1 less than elsewhere doesn't make it a bargain in my book. Regardless I cannot see many. Not against MovieTyme, Inetvideo, TheHut or HMV.

grim_tales wrote:What would you consider a bargain for a HD disc Brad?

For single disc/2 disc SE's -

£5 or under for a HD-DVD
£10 or under for a BD

Obviously depending on the title in question. If a BD is above £12 I dislike it and if a HD-DVD is above £8 I dislike it too, but ultimately I stand by my £10 rule, whereby if it's under £10 I'm interested but above I give it more thought.
