The CD WOW Bargains Thread!

Total Recall SE at £2.99 before vouchers seems cheap,as do the 2 -disc Star Trek movies. Batman & Batman Returns 2-discs are bargains as well.

Yup way too many amazing bargains, some cracking films on the list. I would be stunned if CDWOW could supply everyone with copies, as some forums people seem to be ordering a load of them.

I ordered 2. The Guardian and Escape From L.A
Both worth a watch, not classic but hey worth the price.

Both thru the $ link for $2.99 each, just under £1.50 each, the old $2 vouchers do not seem to work anymore, so the new ownders may now be claming down on some reductions, which isnt to bad if CDWOW keep with the nice cheapos once in a while.

Ahh sale nearly over now

prices have shot up some doubled or more. Guess the mass orderers on other forums got most of them.

I went for Seoul Raiders. I hear it's not much cop but I still say it looks like fun. I say anything with Shu Qi in can't be completely bad.

The $2 codes worked fine for me:

$6.99 down to
$4.99 down to
$2.99

Which came to £1.50 delivered

I was going to go for The Master but I hear that's crap and it looks like crap too.

Unfortunately, Seoul Raiders is one of the most boring films I've ever seen.

Has anyone got 3 £1 vouchers with CD WOW? Theyre "loyalty vouchers" and they should be in your evoucher bank.
They expire at the end of September though.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 21 Sep 2007, 16:56

Yes. I suspect every member has them. I won't be using mine though as £2 off (£1 code + £1 link) is still less than the $ link with $2 off.

Finally!!! I got my boxset I ordered from CD-WOW, but it kinda left a sour taste for me

Because it took way too long for them to deliver, plus they said twice that they sent the boxset, but they didn't. I know they had problems with warehouse/takeover,... so maybe, in a couple of months, I may order from them again..

There are lots of Masters of Cinema titles for £7.99 (£5.86 at CD WOW USA) at CD WOW:

Cheers Salty.

I went for Mona Lisa for a whopping 99 cents

(50p), down from £2.99 if you search for it (or £1.99 using the link above).

I was going to go for Shooting Dogs but decided against it. I hear both films are excellent.

Thanks Salty.

Ordered Bangkok Dangerous and Knockabout.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 02 Oct 2007, 01:16

FYI in case it bothers you:

Bangkok Dangerous R4 has DD5.1 or DTS plus a Behind the Scenes featurette. The UK R2 is DD2.0 and only has a Trailer. The R4 is obviously much more expensive though. I picked it up during a Madman sale.

slasher13 · Post by **slasher13** » 02 Oct 2007, 15:05

Well here is a case, never say never, for the sales, went for "Doctor Who: The Dalek Invasion Of Earth", using $2 dollar off link, plus voucher, it came down to £3.80, from £6.99. Half price, so that is cool

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 02 Oct 2007, 15:34

It's great isn't it. I was considering picking up that one too. Maybe I should at that price.

Ooo temping, but they omitted some of the original sound-effect especially in the prison scene. Also there is some changes with the colour. If it was uncut, I would def get it, but I'm happy with my Nightmare boxset

Its a great price, especially since BBC Doctor Who dvds are really not that cheap, I think it is a bargain

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 02 Oct 2007, 16:55

Sweet thanks Salty. I've been meaning to re-watch this ever since I gave Halloween a more recent go.

Despite the audio issue this looks to be the version to own.

This maybe the Canadian R1 not USA R1 as no DTS track is listed.

Yeah they can be expensive.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 02 Oct 2007, 17:03

Infernal Affairs UK dvd cost 49p

sneaked that in last night. I sold my Hong Kong set for £110 so at least it will be cheap for me to get the cheapo UK editions

Nightmare On Elm Street is not fit to lick the feet of Halloween in any way. One shite and one is a classic.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 02 Oct 2007, 17:06

Parts 2 and 3 aren't really worth the bother. I own the HK DVDs of those. I'm planning to sell my Part 1 and pick up the BD though, the unsubtitled extras don't interest me.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 02 Oct 2007, 17:12

Yeah I have owned 3 version of each film over the years, only ever watched part 1

but each time sold the limited eidtions on to make cash ofr the next version, this time I will stick with cheapos, as hell 49p is as cheap as they will get

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 02 Oct 2007, 18:26

Part 2 and 3 are also very good but Part 1 is easily the best.

Nah... doesnt bother me. It seems like a nice movie but this version is nice and cheap, so this one is good enough for me. If I do turn out to LOVE it, I'll pick it up on HD in the far future.
