Recieved:

The Terminator (Korean 2 Disk Version), which has the original mono soundtrack. Its on sale from DVDFromKorea website, I thought this was OOP, Just checked the site, and looks like it is out of stock now

Slasher does it have the same transfer as the R1?

I received:

Peeping Tom (1960) UK R2 SE from Amazon UK

Grim, it should do. Sounds like it's identical to the HK 2-discer at the very least.

Yup the very same transfer, I just wanted this version, as the R1 is double sided, didn't like it.

Peeping Tom (1960) UK R2 SE from Amazon UK

Watching this currently, got it in a 4 for £20 quid sales, alongside:

Don't Look Now: SE (Fantastic eerie gothic horror/suspense movie)
Hostel: Unseen (It actually pretty good on 2nd viewing

)
Prestige

I might get the Korean/HK, as I'm the same as you, I dont like double sided discs.

Too late.

Yup sadly as Eva said it is OOP again, I think DVDFromKorea had a small stock, If I see it again there, I will post up on the bargain part, but you need to be quick, otherwise it goes again

Yeah but is the HK OOP as well?

A pair of Curv sunglasses (which I got free with my rest of my order

) and 3 pairs of Curv-Z glasses for skydiving. 1 for me 2 for someone else.

They're cool!!

The ones I got free:

The ones for skydiving:

Yup, for AGES now. You could always get the R1 1-discer for the mono + the UK 2-discer for the extras.

The 2nd act of that film is SO boring.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 25 Aug 2007, 13:55

It does seem rather long for a musical, but it's a classic nonetheless. What a cantankerous bastard the father is for most of the film. It's no surprise his children are so unhappy.

You're not waiting for the Falcon motherboard with the 65nm CPU?

Shrunken CPU ain't gonna do jackshit to stop it from overheating, it's the 65nm GPU that'll make a difference to temperatures.

Why I'm getting it now:-
A. It was on special.
B. I want a console in time for Halo 3's release.

IronMonkey · Post by **IronMonkey** » 25 Aug 2007, 16:44

It will make a difference - not as much as a 65nm GPU but it'll still make a difference. I read that once the 65nm CPUs become the norm Microsoft will introduce the 65nm GPU too...

I'm waiting for that model to arrive...

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 25 Aug 2007, 16:56

I don't care any more, there's just so long one can wait. At least my console should have the heat sink and the heatpipes.

Too many sweet looking games coming out in coming months Halo 3 (4-player online co-op!) and Mass Effect being the major ones that I'd get, off the top of my head.

IronMonkey · Post by **IronMonkey** » 25 Aug 2007, 17:29

Bah, Halo & Halo 2 were mediocre at best. I'm a big fan of FPS games on both XBox & PC, and to be blunt both of those games were pretty boring.

I'll not be getting Halo 3 until its a tenner or less. The BIG game I want is Ninja Gaiden 2...

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 26 Aug 2007, 11:05

Right now, it's 60 box for Halo 3 AND 12 months of Xbox Live. So even though I'm not interested in Halo 3 that much, that sounds like a very good deal and I'll probably order it.

Also thinking of picking up some of those Bioshock CE's, with the statues. 1 for myself, and a few to keep wrapped up and to sell in 10-15 years to collectors...

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 26 Aug 2007, 20:05

Ordered myself Halo 3, although I dont care much, if anything, for the game. It means Xbox Live AND Halo 3 for 60 bucks (56 bucks actually, as I used a 5 euro coupon).

Not sure if I'll even buy a 360, as I'm first waiting how Half-Life 2 and Pro Evo will be on either console. If PS3 handles both games better, than I'll be getting a PS3 (again, waiting for a better price-cut)

If I wont buy a 360, I'm sure I can re-sell the game as well as Xbox Live without much of a loss, if any.
