Most (if not all) of 88's discs go for £8.99 on release day at Amazon and HMV.

Then they rise in price a fortnight later as with BFI, 101, Arrow etc.

Definitely saves to preorder these things.

With 88, definitely. With Arrow I just wait for their sales.

I don't buy enough Arrow sadly.

There's a couple of slasher dual plays i'd like but they have never been in sales yet. The last sale was the same old same old in my eyes.

They have a release date cut-off in their sales whereby they'll include some new titles every time (usually at a £9.99 price point whilst older titles will usually go for £7.99 or £8.99) depending on when they were released. Therefore, if the new titles they've included since the last sale don't interest you it can look very samey... I didn't buy anything from their last sale for instance (although I did pre-order a couple of things to take advantage of the double reward points).

I use the wish-list function on their site too, so whenever they have a sale I just look at my wish-list to see which titles have been reduced. It saves trawling through a load of titles that I either already own or have no interest in.

That's a really good idea – I may do that with the ones I want to cut down on browsing when the next sale rolls around.

Likewise. Been wishing Network would introduce a wishlist because come sales there catalogue is much harder to keep track off.

I've created an Amazon wishlist just for Network, so it's just a cut and paste with the titles to me.

Although i do love browsing through the full lists...might have missed something.

I keep popping films names into the Network thread here in the hopes I'll see them come the next Network sale. A wishlist function would be very handy indeed.

I didn't actually notice the one on Arrow's site before, but I will use it, a couple of titles I keep missing. I just recently noticed I don't have The Honeymoon Killers in my collection. I could swear I bought it, but can't find it, nor any record of me buying it. Arrow generally has a sale this month too, so hopefully I'll plug that gap.
