HK 1941: I have the Fox R1 which is from a FS remaster and if I like it I'll also get the HKL for the extras but I'd prefer HD to pre-FS HKL DVDs.

Hey,

Ong Bak 2 discer (Premier Asia) - £12.99 from Play:

http://www.play.com/play247.asp?pa=hpo& ... tle=653854

And I don't know whether its been changed? Someone said the cinema version had changed music but was that just PA adding their own music (not cutting the film) in the cinema or was it the Besson cut?

Maybe it'll be different on DVD.

The bad news is OB PA is not out till October.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 24 May 2005, 14:11

I believe it's a new score but no cuts.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 24 May 2005, 14:50

A sort of halfway house then? Interesting.

Ong Bak isnt really a bargain at all on Play strange they are advertising it as a one week only bargain! the price isnt good, it will be cheaper at places like Choises Direct or CDWOW even, I have Play vouchers so I guess I could get it a few quid cheaper too. But its not worth bothering yet as its 5 months away

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 24 May 2005, 19:34

Where did you get vouchers from?

p.s - Romero Grim secretly work for Play

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 24 May 2005, 22:13

I think I got a few from that old 5 Pound voucher give away thet had, no one got the 5 quid ones from The Star paper, but I got a few 1 pound runner up vouchers

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 24 May 2005, 22:48

I got two but they've long since expired, no? I still have the e-mails.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 24 May 2005, 22:50

Bugger mine have expired too :shock: bugger, I ordered Ong Bak anyway as hey you never know it may never go down in price? as it is a Premiere Asia film and you can never tell whats going on with there prices

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 24 May 2005, 23:18

Plus Play don't charge until they ship (I'm sure).

They expired about a week after they were issued. It says so in the e-mail.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 25 May 2005, 14:34

Hey,

The Mummy (1999) SE is £6 from them

Not a great film, but entertaining (IMO).
Its uncut with DTS.

http://www.play.com/play247.asp?page=ti ... g=72&pa=sr

I saw a 2 disc version of in HMV as part of a 3 for £20 thing... hmmm.

Seasrch through Kelkoo.co.uk for 24 seasons 1 - 4, and when searching for just that item, you'll find that Bensonsworld.co.uk are selling the season 1 - 4 box set for £70.16!!!

BARGAIN!!! Season 4 alone would cost you upwards of £30 when it is released.

If you just go directly to bensonsworld without going through kelkoo, it seems to be £77.95. Kelkoo must have a 10% off link in their code or something...

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 02 Jun 2005, 12:59

Degen are they (I mean any e-tailors) not selling S1-3 for £18 anymore?
I've missed loads of S4 episodes

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 02 Jun 2005, 13:10

I believe that offer is over (it was Choices Direct and Play).

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 02 Jun 2005, 14:08

OK thanks Brad.

degeneration · Post by **degeneration** » 03 Jun 2005, 10:04

Even if they were still selling seasons 1 - 3 for £18 each, that's £54 for those 3 and then even if season 4 was same price, that'd be £72 total. With the info given above you can buy (as I have just ordered it) seasons 1 - 4 for £70.16 delivered. That's £17.54 per season!

Season 4 when it comes out will be around £30+ so you are saving a good amount!

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 03 Jun 2005, 15:37

True but £70 in one go is a lot!

The Passion of the Christ WS UK R2 - £4.99

From Axel Music who I highly recommend for great service:

The Passion of the Christ WS UK R2

Fistful of Dollars MGM SE and For a Few $ More MGM SE - £7.99 each @ Play.

At that price I'm sure I can live with the flaws - Play are the cheapest by far for these - they even beat CD-WOW

I have seen them Clint films in a buy 3 for 20 pound sale somewhere so they work out a few p cheaper that way

I want all 3, but am waiting till they are 5 quid or under and as they are MGM films that wont be long as they go low very very quickly.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 23 Jun 2005, 17:26

You've seen the SE's as 3 for £20?! Where?

They're not that in my local HMV, some time ago the SE's were £12.99, now its their "Summer Sale" and theyve gone back up to £19.99

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 24 Jun 2005, 12:36

In HMV's sale ET 3 disc set was £12.99, this didnt bother me much.
Gone With the Wind 4 disc SE was £14.99

Not sure if I'd buy it but still interested in checking it out..
