Just ordered LG GGW-H20L from Play for £170.99...

Blu Ray & HD DVD in one box, yeah! They're doing 10% discount for one day only today so now seemed like a good time to buy... especially considering some companies are still charging £220 + p&p for the same drive!

How much are BD blank discs? I believe that writes to BDs.

Where does it say Play are offering 10% off? It is all stock?

I'll just keep the 2 RBAA's - HK Flix said "Perhaps it would make a nice gift for an appropriate recipient this Christmas" (!)

I've no idea how much blank BDs are but I more than likely won't even been using them anyway. The drive only cost me about £20 more than the non-writing drive & that is hard to find anyway, so I thought I might as well just go for the BD writer version...

The Play 10% voucher was posted on Hot UK Deals earlier today. Check out this link:

Bastards have sense of humour. Maybe they're not all bad.

Post what you think Grim when you've watched it please. I've been considering picking this up too. It does look very vapid though.

Assuming he's not been charged twice.

Personally I only keep DVDs like this when the company has personally screwed me (or friends) over. As HK Flix have given me good service I'd offer to send it back. I am more honest than most people though.

Sweet. That's nice of them to let you keep it.

. If girlfriends checked half our hard disks they'd probably be in for a shock

There's vapid then there's vapid.

Compared to Fast and the Furious Die Hard is the most detailed film ever made

Cheers Salty. Cheers Romero too. I doubt it's as good as Kingdom of Heaven: DC but thanks anyway.

Overall I think 300 is better than most, if not all the last 5 years epics. Kingdom of heaven, Troy and Alexander (in the various forms they have all been re-released in).

Thing is 300 cost a fraction of all 3 of them massive films and does not have the gigantic casts of famous faces, yet to me it blows them away for sheer joy and fun. None are shit films mind you (but Alexander does bug me to death at times even the newest cuts a pain), but 300 for me knows what it is and does not try to hard be epic like the other did, its epic fun

300 isn't a "historical epic", it's a comic book movie that was shot in a warehouse in Canada.
