This BTW is part of HMV's deal of the day so will change tomorrow at 3pm, as it has done for every other deal.

It's a 24 hour offer from 3pm to 3pm.

They change it a little after 09:00 and today's was the last day I believe.

Ordered this. Wasn't going to having not seen the films but I saw how cheap it was and 11% Quidco...

Really. It was definitely 3 to 3 originally.

So Deal of the Day is now over?

I wasn't going to get the Pekinpah box set (I've bought enough) but really should upgrade my Wild Bunch Flipper. I've not seen the film hence I was holding off but that price is excellent.

Pekinpah is good director too, so why not.

For those who don't know: "Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid" has been cut by the BBFC (animal cruelty).

Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid 12s 18 cert 116:26s 1973 US film by Sam Peckinpah.

Same cuts for cinema and video version:

* 2 shots of a cockfigh
* a horse falling headfirst have been removed.
* use of live chickens for target practise (apparently goaded into action by spraying lighter fuel in their faces)

Version currently being shown on TNT seems uncut

Haven't you also seen The Getaway (original with Steve McQueen)? Peckinpah directed that.

Oh yes sorry that's good too, it's been yonks since I've seen it though.

It is £14.99 now. Still a good price for 6 movies.
