I got it for £3.99 using the voucher link and a Pepsi code.

Good man, odd I can't find it. Could you try again and see if you can still see it?

Nope. It's still in theatres over here AFAIK, not that I can be bothered seeing it since I've now ordered it on DVD.

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.

Your loss. It takes 5 minutes tops to get up a Gmail account and a new Cd-wow account to get the £2 code, I did it for each order. I've forgotten all the bullshit Gmail login names that I've created. One was chongautomatic belonging to a Tim Chong though.

Silly man see it in the big screen, it's worth it.

It's nothing to do with time I don't want all these oodles of accounts I don't know about active all over the place. It's only £1 more than the £1.50 I can get anyway.

You know what I'm not convinced it is, well not in the usual sense of "cut". Yes of course technically it is but the R1 and others also got the same cut (the R1 is a Sony DVD too).

While the Korean DVD is a longer cut I personally reckon the UK and R1 discs are a shorter cut.

The UK DVD is cut by a few minutes of animal cruelty which doesn't sound nice at all NOT that I'd want it cut per say I went for The Isle R4 after all (except it sounds much more extreme here).

I also hear by a few for what it's worth the cuts have an improvement on the ending of the film.

Get rid of shitty AOL and go with a proper BB provider. Like I said it's nothing to do with time as agreed it take no time at all.

So to confirm the £1 Link is working for EVERY SALE DVD you've bought?

Huh? But the animal cruelty in SSFWAS is one of its key elements. Kinda takes the film's point away.

What's your source? It says there were no cuts made on the BBFC site.

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 22 Oct 2006, 15:35

From DVDbeaver:-
According to Tartan, the version which they acquired from the sales company was already cut – ie they had prepared a print for the international market.
Fuck you Korean distributor bastards. We can understand fucking Buddhist concepts, hell every liberal douchebag and is dog claim to be Buddhists.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 22 Oct 2006, 16:18

Well there you have it, it could even be director approved. Like I said both the R1 from Columbia Tristar and UK R2 from Tartan both got the same print.

EvaUnit02 wrote:What's your source? It says there were no cuts made on the BBFC site.

For starters you, you said it was cut, then we have the review below, then DVD Compare stating the R1 and UK R2 Cut. Re-read what I said, I never said the BBFC cut it (in fact the opposite).

It is cut for animal cruelty but I never said the BBFC did it.

I'm sourcing this and the comments: http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=13046

Nice to see it doesn't mention NTSC to PAL too for a change!

No, I meant what was your for source for WHY it was cut. Nowhere does it say that it was for animal cruelty.

thelostdragon wrote:Nice to see it doesn't mention NTSC to PAL too for a change!

That's cuz it's a native-PAL transfer. Only the dickhead who reviews the anime on DVDtimes doesn't bother to mention whether something is NTSC-PAL or not becuz 90% of made-for-TV anime released in the UK is NTSC-PAL converted. He should mention it regardless.

Read the review. I posted it for a reason.

Well yeah exactly my point not NTSC to PAL.

I did, it DOES NOT say that the cuts were specifically for animal cruelty reasons, it's still all presumptions. No one knows exactly why it was cut, except the Korean distributor.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 23 Oct 2006, 00:29

Well it says scenes of an animal having stones put in it's mouth were cut, that's pretty conclusive to me.

romerojpg wrote:Just spent the last 2 hours spending

You do do other things bar DVDs right Romero? I've never know anyone else like you. You're obsessed

romerojpg wrote:Got most the 2 dvd Star Treks now

You mean Star Trek 2, 3 & 6 as 1, 4 & 5 aren't in the SALE. Oh you're getting the pants ones past 6 too, sure some are good but far from EPIC like most of the Kirk ones.

romerojpg wrote:for 2.99 or 3.99 even got Insurection for 99p

How the bloody hell did you manage that? I'd even get it for that price.

Grrr. I can't believe you can get the £1 link to work so readily :shock:

No one else bloody can!

Who cares, we can get £2.50 off and he can't.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 23 Oct 2006, 19:23

Romero can. He's doing the same as us but using the £1 instead of 50p link.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 23 Oct 2006, 21:29

Insurection was 3.99 I used the THIRD LINK iN the Second post of the voucher thread, that works everytime forf me now c(no idea whay it didnt work the last 2 weeks!). Then I use the 2 pound Voucher and hey presto 3 quid off

Star Trek yes I have got all the 2 dvd versions in that sale

I had a few of them befor hand, but upgrading for a few pound is worth it and wont get them crappy single dvds

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 23 Oct 2006, 22:18

obsessed puts it mildly, I am addicted

its sad really. I hate buying so many films and owning so many too.

Just gave in and ordered X Men 3 Region 3 for £5.99

no space for them either.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 23 Oct 2006, 22:53

I didn't think you wanted the X-Men 3 DVD as you thought the DVD was shit and were waiting for the "proper" version.

You know you can always stop, if it gets to the point where it makes you sad to buy DVDs then that's stupid. Save your money for something else, like a holiday.

romerojpg wrote:Insurection was 3.99 I used the THIRD LINK iN the Second post of the voucher thread

The third link only gets you 75p off, you must mean another one. Not that it matters as it doesn't work for me.

romerojpg wrote:that works everytime forf me now c(no idea whay it didnt work the last 2 weeks!).

They all work for me 90% of the time except for this Sale, then only one 1 DVD. Thanks for the explanation btw.

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 24 Oct 2006, 08:58

All 12 of the DVDs that I've ordered have shipped. Suspiciously a lot of DVDs that were dwindling down to below 10 in stock have shot back up to 1500+. Me thinks that they were bullshitting to encourage sales, it certainly worked on me.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 24 Oct 2006, 14:12

Yeah, I noticed that too.

A real cheat if you ask me.
