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.

Good idea cheers. Yeah but once you've added postage it's suddenly no longer a bargain.
But postage is free?? :?

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.

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.

Time and Tide, $5. bargain indeed.

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!

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 :D

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.

Excludes preorders I believe, but does include items that are presently out of stock. You can use each code as many times as you like, if it stops working move onto the next code. Theres a tonne fo them floating about.

I used the same one 4 times so far. It ussually runs for a week, but best to get orders in quickly.

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

Posted: 07 Jun 2008, 19:25

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 ;).

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

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

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

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.
