Just like last time I cannot get the site to load. Why provide these sales if you cannot also provide the bandwidth behind them?

Unlike last time I cannot be bothered them and especially as it will only take 4-6 weeks for the DVD(s) to arrive, just like last time. As I cannot get into the site I cannot verify the link really needs to be that long.

Good Luck!

Couldnt get one the sit at all last sale, wont even bother this time. Lame site, lame sale.

Actually it's a very good sale, not that that means much like you say. There is only 1 Madman title I want (Kairo). Last time I wanted more making it more worth while, this time I can't even be bothered to look though.

*Groan* The tards really haven't learnt their lesson from last time bout having a web site that can actually cope with that much traffic.

Last time it took them fucking 4 months to ship an order which I made with a few other dudes. The parcel got lost, my mate had to make 4 toll calls and talk down a support rep to get them to resend the DVDs. Then when the parcel arrives there's at least 4 discs missing. Another 2 weeks for the rest of the discs.

Ironic how you poms got your DVDs yonks before their next door neighbours did.

You would have to be a Madman to try to buy any dvds.

How droll

It's a shame as they do have some "world bests" in their catalogue. It's just not worth the hassle to actually get them.

I managed to bump a few cheapies at the last sale. Cannae even get on their site min. :x

The site is working perfectly fine at the moment. I can only find two DVDs I want (and then really only one) and am unsure if I can be bothered. I'll probably kick myself later but think I'll pass.

D'oh! There are 7 titles I'd really like to get and they don't accept PayPal either? Is YesAsia the only online DVD shop that accepts PayPal?

BTW, are the prices on their site in Australian Dollars?

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 21 Jun 2007, 20:12

LOL, the sale is over on the 25th. Why don't you order them for me and I send you PayPal money. Aren't you a pal?

Bought 6 classic Godzilla films. Hurrah!

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 25 Jun 2007, 11:01

Yeah, I got my pay packet so I decided to place an order.

A Bittersweet Life
Blood & Bones (Kitano acting piece)
Demonlover (Olivier Assayas)
Kairo
Sword of Doom (LOL, a zillion times cheaper than the Criterion)
The Quiet Family (R1 Tai Seng is OOP AFAIK)
The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada 2-discer (hell yeah, best release of that)
Vigil (kiwi director Vincent Ward's first film)
Dead Leaves (Wacky ass Production I.G. OVA. Hopefully not a conversion.)
Kill! (screw you again Criterion)
The Eye
Samurai Saga (not on DVD anywhere else w/ English subs AFAIK)

If a decent "Eye" was released when the film was originally released I'd have snapped it up but today I remember it as a good but nothing more horror thriller. It's not terribly original.

Kairo is a million miles times better. Of which I ordered it too, the only DVD I did order. I was going to go for Osama but ironically it was cheaper to buy 1 DVD with the postage (£7) than 2 DVDs with the postage (£22 halfed), 3 it gets cheaper again but 3 is overkill for me considering I should be getting rid of DVDs not buying more. Besides only I really wanted Kairo. I picked up most of the DVDs I wanted last time.

Sorry LD I couldn't not order any more than 3 as Customs would've stung me.

I already have Bittersweet Life Tartan, the Madman and Tartan are basically the same. I already have the UK "Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada", while not as good as the Aussie effort it's still a respectable release.

You could have ordered them directly to my address.

I'm not judging you.

Madman is having a Godzilla sale: all titles except Final Wars are $AU14.95 each. For international customers the price is $AU13.59.

Final Wars = total and utter shit anyway

like nearly all the Godzilla films.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 06 Sep 2007, 22:54

Thanks Hung. Personally it doesn't interest me.

Haven't see Final Wars but I quite enjoy the Godzilla films. The first is an excellent film, really moving in places, and many of the sequels are cracking fun
