Will stick with my amazing wooden set

as that set above is truley shit. EIV eat my ass.

For £5.89 it's far from shit. EIV are usually awful but their LOTR sets have all been decent.

It may make a good X-Mas present.

as you know it's shit you must own it.please explain just why a four disc set for just over a fiver is shit? is the transfer crap?

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 10 Oct 2006, 20:04

I owned all of the UK releases, 2 and 4 dvd versions, and now own the Region 3 versions.

Its shit for one BIG reason, EIV released it. End of Story, even if its 15p its still shit to me if EIV has anything to do with it.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 10 Oct 2006, 20:30

thanks for the reasoned reply romero,it's all clear now

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 10 Oct 2006, 20:31

Classic, up there with the best Romero absurdity's.

p.s - Agreed EIV usually equal rubbish but their LOTRs (TC and EC) DVDs + Goldmember are decent.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 10 Oct 2006, 20:33

EIV are the devils company, most people avoid all their dvds. The packaging alone is more than enuff reason to run away and kill yourself. If you like looking at shit packaging go ahead and buy them all.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 10 Oct 2006, 20:54

The packaging is exactly the same as 90% of other digi-pack box sets. Yes I hear it's not as good as the New Line offering but that doesn't make it shit.

Read what I said I'm mostly in agreement with you. Notice I could only cite two decent examples. I own the UK LOTR ECs as they're fine but otherwise I virtually ignore EIV completely.

Shame the departed is an EIV DVD. I already know I won't be getting the UK DVD for that one.

Departed

yup another film down the drain for the UK. USA all the way

Warner I beleve.

Still most normal poeple dont care about packaging, so the UK EIV dvds sell well, even if they go down in price very quick as they just look cheap.

is there a doctor in the house? romero's finally gone over the edge :twisted:

btw romero seem to remember a couple of months ago you saying you bought eiv's hostage for £3 in music zone.yet you are saying in this thread their dvds aren't worth 15p

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 11 Oct 2006, 08:41

Do you look at packaging or watch DVDs Romero?

If I didn't have ROTK I'd buy it for 6 quid - I'm not paying upwards of an extra 12 quid for slightly sturdier packaging 8)

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 11 Oct 2006, 18:07

Er obviously I look at the packaging! if you dont your obviously BLIND! if you dont want good looking packaging thats up to you, I like good looking things not fucking ugly child like dvd packaging. I have thousands of dvds, and only a few stand out on my shelves for the WRONG reasons, all the EIV dvds stand out as their spines are sooo ugly.

Hostage wasnt even worth 3 pound, hence why I am selling the piece of shit dvd. Its bile.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 11 Oct 2006, 18:08

Romero has a point 95% of EIV covers are atrocious.

And again Romero contradicts himself.

Exactly.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 11 Oct 2006, 18:13

and no I didnt contradict anything fools, the dvd wasnt for me, and no way was I giving it to my friend with no extras as it was a shit rental! so I have to sell it on.

and ALL 3 extended 4 dvd versions of the LOTR films have been lower than this on cdwow, with proper packaging! £2.99 and 3.99 they were at one time with vouchers! with real solid, perfect packaging from Region 3, identical to the Region 1 versions.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 11 Oct 2006, 18:24

more mythical cd-wow prices from romero-instead of trying and failing to justify your purchase of Hostage maybe when you spot these incredible bargains you could possibly see your way to posting them for the rest of us-you do know what this thread's about don't you

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 11 Oct 2006, 18:37

They were posted everywhere, do a search

not hard to do. Many people bought them including me for a few friends. This was about a year back.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 11 Oct 2006, 19:15

£2.99 LOL classic. Show me proof? I'm not going to search as I strongly believe I'll find shit.

Seriously Romero you do come up with out of this world CD WOW prices. If they're really do exist as Salty says how come you're the only person on "this" forum whoever spots them?

You must know the vast majority of us regularly scower (sp?) the web and particularly CD WOW yet only you spot them.

romerojpg wrote:and no I didnt contradict anything fools, the dvd wasnt for me

Symantecs. You said they weren't worth 15p and a devils company yet you paid £3.

romerojpg wrote:and ALL 3 extended 4 dvd versions of the LOTR films have been lower than this on cdwow, with proper packaging!

Romero there's a difference between broken and proper. The EIV packaging like I said is IDENTICAL to all the other digi-pack releases (so presumably they belong to the devil too?). It's just elsewhere has better.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 11 Oct 2006, 19:17

£5.89 for a 4 disc set is a bargain packaging or not.

I guess everyone here who wants it already has it.

Shen · Post by **Shen** » 11 Oct 2006, 19:24

well i want it

but i need other things first lol

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 11 Oct 2006, 19:38

It won't stay at that price forever.

Shen · Post by **Shen** » 11 Oct 2006, 19:42

yeah unfortuantly i need books first, tho i am really tempted, sorta talking myself in and out of it

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 11 Oct 2006, 21:04

Read the back cover over and over again and pretend it's a book

, think of it that way and you even get 4 free DVDs/tea coasters

Shen · Post by **Shen** » 11 Oct 2006, 21:32

hehe good idea

it does have that old book feel to the cover

been eyeing them up for a long time, those or the SE with the figures, i just want the smeagol figure... they are pretty cheap on amazon now. hmm
