This one deserves it's own thread:

I've went for Duelist and Machinist.

I'm tempted by BR2 to see the Extended Cut but after seeing the Theatrical Cut twice it still annoys the hell out of me (the second viewing was much better though), the American bashing gets on my nerves for starters.

Is Jarhead any good? Lots of people say it is but many say it's rubbish. It looks dull as dishwater.

Yup its an amazing sale I have been on a few hours now

Just wish I had some vouchers

as none work for me now, I am very angry

all I can get off is 1 pound now

sucks balls bad.

Duelist is 100% pure bile, shit film in every way. cheap yes, buts the films crap. The woprst Korean film ever.

Strangely they work one time and then not the next time, very inconsistent. Just even found the 2 pounder now worked once! so may be able to get a few quid off now after hours of trying everything. Odd.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 20 Oct 2006, 19:31

I heard it wasn't good but for that price I'll give it ago. It's also a rare occasion Korean DVDs are good value.

Did you check out BR2: EC (Extended Cut)? Slasher likes it but I'd like more than one opinion. I think Tom liked it too.

"The Duleist" is unfortunately a really bad film. It has some of the most stunning visuals combined with a wonderful soundtrack, but all that cannot save the film from it's bad story.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 20 Oct 2006, 19:37

Maybe I shouldn't bother, what about Jarhead?

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 20 Oct 2006, 19:48

Well, if you are buying it for the film, don't. If you are buying it from a filmmakers perspective, I'd go for it all the way as it has, as I already said, some of the most stunning visuals in recent cinema.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 20 Oct 2006, 19:57

Jarhead is worth a cheap price

its not to everyones taste thats for sure, dont go in expecting an action film like some people did

its not, at all in any way. I paid 4 quid for it and thats well worth it, its striking looking and well thought out, if a little strangley farmiliar at times

DEADWOOD season 1 and 2 are cheapo, stunning show, one of the best you will ever see on TV.

The Star Trek 2 dvd editions come up cheap

most are 4 pound or under with voucher combos.

Battlestar Galactica: Complete Season Two is an amazing oprice also! ausie edition works out 10 quid woth vouchers! I wanted the region 1 version for a few extras more, but its 3 times the price even in the best of sales.

Flightplan is 2.99

Quantum Leap seaons are cheapo too

10 quid some of em.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 20 Oct 2006, 20:23

Heres a really insane, strange thing.

I have placed 3 orders so far by using the IGN linkie, it works so I may as well use it before it stops

set up 3 different HOTMAIL accounts so far and put in newly created hotmail adress and details.

But so far after each purchase the confirmation emails are getting sent to my main AOL email account! how on earth is that possible, I just made up new accounts at hotmail for this and joined and got the codes sent to them new email addys!!! yet somehow in gods name they sent the confirmation emails to me at AOL. Insane!!

Get it, the extended version of Pegasus Pt.1 rocks.

The Ausie version has the extended version on as well so dvdcompare say. They are right? or wrong?

Thanks. I liked American Beauty and Road to Perdition so I'll give this ago after all.

Thanks. I've read one good review but lots of bad ones. I'm mostly tempted because it's a cheap Korean LE which is stupid so I'll pass.

bradavon wrote:The prices are not special to that link meaning the usual Voucher Links will still work.

I was wrong except for The Machinist none of the SALE DVDs can be found via the Search Engine. Maybe more can but that's the only one I can find.

The ING Code of course still works and the DVD Times 50p Voucher Link still works, this is the ONLY time I'm going to be using their stupid voucher mind.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 20 Oct 2006, 21:53

So far ordered

Battlestar Galactica Season 2
DeadWood Season 2
Quantum Leap Season 3 and 4

Cost me about 40 quid!!!!! TV Heaven.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 20 Oct 2006, 22:10

What vouchers are you using? The max. you can get off is £2.50 -

* 50p DVD Forums Voucher Link - Add &affid=15561 to the end and paste into a new window. This doesn't work with the £1 links, which otherwise work fine.
* £2 ING Voucher Code.

I ended up ordering:

* JFK: 2 Disc SE
* Machinist: DTS
* Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter...And Spring: DTS
* Jarhead - The German 2 Disc LE is on CD WOW for £13.99 before vouchers (much cheaper than the R1 LE was) but when the UK R2 is so cheap I'll pass.

All for £3.49 except The Machinist which was £3.99.

I can't even get any of the £1 links to work!

It should have the extended version, Universal PAL DVD's are usually R2&4 dual encoded.

They do but don't on this Sale.

They are funny at the moment mind you, it may take 2-3 times to get them working, as always they work better if you copy the link, close your browser completely (ALL windows), reopen it and paste in then go straight to the site.

I'm finding they work better in IE lately, for some reason.

If everyone uses this DVD Times/DVD Forums Link instead of the one in the first post (actually I'll change it now) it will immediately knock 50p off and then you can just add the £1 or £2 Voucher Code if you wish when checking out, much easier:

http://www.cd-wow.com/salefinder_genera ... ffid=15560

p.s - 15560 is DVD Times, 15561 is The DVD Forums, both go to the same geezer and both get you 50p off.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 21 Oct 2006, 20:21

Nope the 1 pound link works for me! insanely

I am using the 3rd linkie of the 3 in the 2nd posts :(if that makes sense) so in the end I got 3 quid off them all

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 21 Oct 2006, 21:22

Just ordered Star Trek 2 and 3, 2 dvd edtions for 2.99 each

and Crash for 2.99 as well

If it didnt take me 15 minutes to order each title I would have loads

dial up sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 22 Oct 2006, 00:11

I got the £1 link to work for one title I wanted, but had to use 50p for the other.

Strange, but there you go. Since we're not supposed to use multiple discounts I suppose we can't complain... much.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 22 Oct 2006, 00:15

Crash I presume is the 1 Disc older DVD? I'm not bothering to upgrade as the DC adds very little and the new extras look rubbish.

As for Star Trek be careful as some of the Star Trek DVDs in the Sale are the old original bare-bones DVDs.

I already own Star Trek 2 but am tempted by Star Trek 3. AFAIK Star Trek 1, 4 and 5 aren't in the Sale, 6 is but I own that. I'm not interested in the ones after 6 (6 was the last great one).

romerojpg wrote:Nope the 1 pound link works for me! insanely I am using the 3rd linkie of the 3 in the 2nd posts :(if that makes sense) so in the end I got 3 quid off them all

To CONFIRM:

1. You're using the second in the second post? I've moved them around a bit.
2. And when clicking it and searching you can find the SALE DVDs? As opposed to General Cheap CD WOW DVDs?

It's only worked for The Machinist for me. Can you find Jarhead UK R2 via that link?

I've just checked again and both £1 Links in the second post work fine and knock £1 off BUT none of the DVDs in the actual Sale appear when using it and searching, so if I can't find them I can't buy them (i.e - Jarhead only comes up with the R1 and R3 versions, plus a few others but no UK R2).

Markgway wrote:I got the £1 link to work for one title I wanted, but had to use 50p for the other.

Which title? I can then see if I can see it.

It's ONLY worked for The Machinist for me.

Markgway wrote:Strange, but there you go. Since we're not supposed to use multiple discounts I suppose we can't complain... much.

Nope.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 22 Oct 2006, 00:21

The £1 off worked for THE EYE CE and didn't for CIRCUS OF FEAR.

I suspect they might be gone now.

I could only find them in the sale section by the way not via the search function.

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 22 Oct 2006, 00:23

I ordered:-
R1 Blade Runner DC - £4.49
R1 Corpse Bride - - £3.49
R2 This is Spinal Tap SE - £3.49
R2 Escape From LA - £2.49
R2 The Proposition - £5.49
R2 The Machinist - £3.49
R2 Layer Cake SE - £2.49
R2 Predator SE - £3.49
R2 The Transporter 2 Uncut - £3.49
R2 Jarhead - £2.49

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 22 Oct 2006, 00:51

Have you seen The Proposition Eva? Tis excellent.

Markgway wrote:The £1 off worked for THE EYE CE and didn't for CIRCUS OF FEAR.

It's still there for £5.99 (page 11) and it's not found for me when using a £1 link.

romerojpg wrote:Just ordered Star Trek 2 and 3, 2 dvd edtions for 2.99 each

Grrr that's a great price for Star Trek 3. All I could get off is £3.49 or £4.49 if I can't be bothered to use the ING code. The idea of multiple accounts would annoy the hell out of me. £2.99 I'd get it but £4.49 it's too much.

p.s - Star Trek 4 is only £1 more (£6.99 before vouchers) out of the sale. Star Trek 1 and 5 look to be best at BlahDVD for £5.99 each.
