They don't cost much more than £40 these days.

Less than £20 actually.

Sometimes yes, its never a guarentee thats for sure. I have bought many and they were crappy, bought others and they are indeed almost identical.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 06 Dec 2006, 22:42

Which are crappy and how please?

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 06 Dec 2006, 23:40

God I wish I could remember, picture quality varies, sound, extras, packaging, bugs etc.. I have had far to many to even think about it

latley a lot of asian big releases have such appauling boxes and inserts they are like pirates, they are truley abysmal the kind you get on magazine covers and the cover paper is just that, cheap badly printed paper! not even cut to the right size sometimes. I had Serenity Region 3 for a friend, it was shockingly inept packaging. DVD wasnt bad, but hell I dont want ugly pirate like box

All of them are great film really.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 07 Dec 2006, 13:36

Yeah, they are.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 07 Dec 2006, 18:30

Throne of Blood is better from Criterion btw.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 07 Dec 2006, 18:50

It is. Brad I did use the Bullets link when I bought from CD-WOW (I hope)

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 07 Dec 2006, 19:34

Did you click on the link in the first post? (or it being posted somewhere else). If so good man

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 08 Dec 2006, 11:32

Yes I did. I wasn't logged in then so put it in the address bar again when I logged in.

woo they shipped POTC 2

The T&Cs say:

1. The closing date to apply for your free voucher is Sunday 31st December 2006.

Again clearly a load of bollocks and they can cancel it when they like

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 14 Dec 2006, 20:49

The code is still not working. WTF?

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 14 Dec 2006, 23:40

I reckon they've expired the code. It's a bit cheeky when the T&Cs clearly say it should be working.

Oh well time to find new ones. I'm confident others will popup, CD WOW wouldn't be as big as they are without them. Hopefully not long.

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 15 Dec 2006, 20:22

So the 5 pound thing wont work anymore? What a bastards... the T&C's stated it would be valid for a little while longer

, so I hadnt spent mine yet

you can still spend the code you've already received,just can't get a new one

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 16 Dec 2006, 00:19

As Salty says plus yep it is annoying when the T&Cs clearly say the offer shouldn't be over yet. The same goes for the £2 one.

Shen · Post by **Shen** » 23 Dec 2006, 16:33

woo, since my dvd didnt turn up, they;ve refunded the money and given me the £5 voucher back....yay!

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 23 Dec 2006, 17:25

Shen · Post by **Shen** » 23 Dec 2006, 17:27

Already Used £5 CDWOW Vouchers Codes (From A Few Weeks Back) Now Working Again

Instructions: Thanks to adrian2000 on MSE for this. It's been discovered this morning that £5 vouchers (ones that have already been used) from the Capital One glitch a few weeks ago are mysteriously working again. I've just tried it and it worked. If you saved them somewhere or kept the original e-mails, feel free to use them again.
