What Have You Just Ordered or Received?

- The Iceman Cometh

CD-Wow seem to have sent me a rattler. I will watch the film at work today to see if any of the scratches have done the disc any harm...

I wish HKL would start using proper Amaray cases again - those things clip the DVD into place much better than the flimsy cases HKL have been using since the move to Contender...

I just cracked and ordered this:

German "Fistful of Dollars" and "For A Few Dollars More" SE's (4 DVD set) from Amazon.de (I think)

I used an Amazon UK window to help me, bot sure how long it will take though?

- Serious Sam
- XBox Controller S

Both from Play, and:

- Project Snowblind

I got this brand new & sealed from E-Bay for £4.22! Bargain!

BTW, the release date of the German Leone SE's (and the 4 disc box) is 6 October 2005. Previously on Amazon.de it said the 2 disc SE's would ship on 1 September, but they were put back in line with the box.

Did Iceman Cometh play okay, IronMonkey?

Today I got:

Human Lanterns (Momentum) from CD-WOW rentals

IronMonkey · Post by **IronMonkey** » 06 Aug 2005, 17:57

Yeah, The Iceman Cometh played perfectly. There are a few light surface scratches on the disc, but since it plays back perfectly I am not going to send the disc back.

Today I received:

- Serious Sam
- XBox Controller S

Both from Play...

What do you mean? At the cinema? When?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 07 Aug 2005, 11:20

That should of read "I've been meaning to see it" ie I'd like to see it on DVD.

Yeah, discounts included.

When is Dragon Blade released? May well be interested in that. Looks good fun

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 10 Aug 2005, 16:25

DragonBlade was released theatrically in Hong-Kong on January 6th 2005.
Since it didn't make any money, I doubt that it will be released anywhere else.

The DVD has been released in april. It's the DVD cover that made me want to download the film to see if it was any good.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 10 Aug 2005, 16:28

Sounds like its well worth checking out (IMO) for a measly $HK40.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 10 Aug 2005, 16:43

Here's a poll:
Who here has seen DragonBlade ?

I'm not expecting any answer.

BTW:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0327660/

Five positive reviews and one negative.

Today I recieved:

Castle In The Sky R2 from CD-WOW rentals.

One thing that becomes immediately annoying is that the subtitles in English are not only dubtitles, but they are even timed for the English dub.

So I was listening on the Japanese track but would still be reading subtitles when there was no Japanese dialogue being spoken, and nothing was coming from a characters mouth.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 13 Aug 2005, 12:03

Today I recieved:

The Good The Bad and the Ugly R2 SE from Play.

Thanks postie :thumbleft:

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 15 Aug 2005, 08:07

Today I recieved:

Donnie Darko DC R2
Bang Rajan PA R2

from CD-WOW.

For some reason on both packages it says "Intrinsic value £3.49" but I'm sure I paid £5.99???

If I get charged £5.99 can I have £5 back? £3.49 each is £2.50 each less than what I actually paid. Of course, if I DO get charged £3.49 for each title, I'm not complaining

IronMonkey · Post by **IronMonkey** » 15 Aug 2005, 09:29

No, you're charged the price you agreed to. I'm not sure what "intrinsic" means, but I know that whenever I order a DVD / CD from CD-Wow, the "intrinsic value" is always £1.50 less than what I paid for it...

Anyway, yesterday I received:

- Burnout 3: Takedown
- The Thing

Both for my XBox and both at bargain prices from E-Bay!

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 15 Aug 2005, 09:57

Hmmm.. not sure why that is then?
What does intrinsic mean?

O well, £5.99 (what I agreed to) is still good

IronMonkey · Post by **IronMonkey** » 15 Aug 2005, 10:29

Yeah you lucky man, don't complain! I paid £12.99 for Bang Rajan about 2 months ago from Play!
