PULP FICTION steely has gone up to £35 today!!! I think we all got in there in time whether we paid 10 or 16 :p

If anyone uses quidco... HMV are doing a special 7% cashback rate this week on DVDs & BDs! That's a pretty sweet deal!

That is a decent cashback from Quidco, so I might have a look at those BDs I've been meaning to buy for a while and see which are cheapest at HMV - thanks!

Scream 4: It must be bad, although I've ordered a copy. It's £4.99 on Blu-ray, through Play.com's daily deals. I can't post a link from here, but I'm assuming it's easy to order it through a normal visit to the site? I imagine most of you have subscribed to the Play newsletter and know about this anyway.:)

The UK BD is completely vanilla, which is why I bought the US one as it contains an audio commentary with Wes Craven and cast members, a making of, deleted scenes, a gag reel an alternate opening and extended ending.

I thought the film was one of the better sequels and, even without those extra features, is probably worth picking up for that price.

But...The UK got the PPV version of Scream 4!

I forgot about that and it would be great to have in addition with both versions that, in the meantime, the only option is to buy both.

I've read through the breakdown of the differences and the time doesn't change, just some subtle variations in dialogue, off-camera lines and some omitted swearing. It is annoying, but not something which would steer me away from the bargain price purchase.

Who knows, maybe the fact the discs are going at this price is a sign of a better release to come -- fingers crossed, anyway!

At £5 i still would not buy a bare bones release.
I still cant see why anyone would pay more then £5 for that movie.
Sure it was better then Scream 3 but it was way behind parts 1 and 2.

In case anyone is interested (as it's Christmas and all), Nightmare Before Christmas is only £5.99 for today only at play.com as part of their Mega Monday deal. I nabbed a copy as it's half the price of anywhere else online at the moment and have been wanting it for awhile. So much for no spending at al this year :doh:

HMV have re-stocked the AB Blu of THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY and WITHNAIL & I for £3 each, skip the full price versions and find em in the bargain section, plenty in the Reading Oracle branch.

crafty HMV have THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY bd at £8 now....

That's Entertainment have added more titles to their 2 for £5 deal. Picked up Universal Soldier 3 (an exchange for an accidental double-dip from my last visit).

They appear to have a website now, but sadly it only appears to stock a very limited range of pre-owned titles. :(

How nice it must be to live in a town which has more than HMV.

I'm glad I got out of my hometown, we didn't even have a HMV!

My home town doesn't have one either, I have to travel about 6 miles to Huddersfield if I want to see how much HMV are over charging for stuff

Amazingly enough, the forthcoming Raro Fernando Di Leo boxset is a meagre $22.99 on Amazon.com at the moment, which puts it just under the new £15 limit. Works out at less than £20 with shipping which is pretty great for a 4 BD box set..

Amazon.com: Fernando Di Leo crime collection [Blu-ray]: Jack Palance, Henry Silva, Barbara Bouchet, Gastone Moschin, Mario Adorf, Fernando Di Leo: Movies & TV

Hate it when this thread gets added too as I never resist the temptation of a new purchase! :) I nearly bought the dvd set of this but decided to wait for the BD - so tempted right now...

Woe, that's awesome, although I had no idea that this set was on BD! The only thing that worries me, though, is don't they include the cost of postage in the price, pushing this over the limit?

If its under £15 before postage its safe. They only charge duty on the postage if the item itself is over the limit. :)

Just a case of hoping the exchange rate doesn't drop much between now and release..

im waitin for in a glass cage to drop in price.
£15 for that movie is a bit too much for me!

That's a great price -- preordered. I can justify the purchase because they don't charge until shipping so I haven't bought it this month.

oof! That's the most depressing film Ive seen in a good while. Made me feel duuurty :tsk: . . .

:lol:

I felt the same way now it's been put back until January 17th..

anyone who dont have the exorcist digi book amazon us is selling for $13.49 + postage!
ordered mine. hope it dont come damaged

They also have the Poltergeist digibook for only $12.99. :cool:

Amazon.com: Poltergeist (Blu-ray Book Packaging): JoBeth Williams, Heather O'Rourke, Craig T. Nelson, Beatrice Straight, Dominique Dunne, Oliver Robins, Michael McManus, Virginia Kiser, Martin Casella, Richard Lawson, Zelda Rubinstein, Lou Perrym

*Edit* In fact they have quite a few of the BD digibooks cheap at the moment.

i bought it when first released, because esp. of the extra book
the uk bd i don't think has it

Just bought the Dr. Strangelove, Poltergeist, and The Exorcist digibooks, which including shipping saves £15 over the Amazon.co.uk price.

I've pre-ordered the Raro Video boxset which by my calculations comes to less than £5 per film at the current exchange rate. Bargain! :dance:

yes uk is not digibook
we hardly get them.

Hmmmmm some people on blu-ray.com who ordered Silent Running at the full price before the £3.99 fiasco have said they have been reimbursed £10 because of Amazon's price guarantee i.e the price dropped after they ordered it. If this is true, Amazon have a f*****g cheek!!!!

That is a proper joke, losing faith in them, they used to be a great company




"They all float down here, they allll floaaaattt!!!"

'Tis a kick in the teeth, no doubt. I find they are getting less and less of my money these days, not least because of their lousy cheapskate packaging that they insist on using. I refuse to buy digi-packs and boxsets from them now as just too many have been crushed on arrival, and when I ring them to complain they just don't give a sh*t. :mmph: Never had any problems with companies like Base, so I find they are my first port of call these days.

I've decided to treat myself to a Christmas present and you all may wish to do the same. Videodrome is only £7.95 for now and tomorrow only as part of Zavvi's Mega Monday sale. Preorder bargain I'd say.

Ordered earlier today, never seen it before so I'm pretty excite.

Me neither but heard great things, can't wait.

Videodrome is amazing. Definitely one of Cronenberg's best and one of the greatest horror films of the 1980s.

Just pre-ordered it myself, well spotted Ant, it's been a long time since I've seen this but from what I remember, you're both in for a treat! :woot:

Well spotted - at that price I just couldn't say no. It is indeed a classic, and haven't seen it since it was shown on the BBC's Moviedrome so it's well overdue another viewing!

I think that was the last time I saw it too, must have been 15 years ago

i love videodrome.
the criterion blu looks stunning
