Anyone Know the Price For the DVD Here..

Furp

Hi,

I was just wondering does anyone here know what the retail price for the DVD is going to be here in Ireland,

I asked in xtra-vision yesterday but they said there computer showed a €100 which wasn't right.

The reason I ask is because I have them pre-ordered from Amazon (cost will be aboput €45) but they won't be delivered till at least the end of next week, and I have heard there is a possibility that a lot of shops here will put them on the shelves this weekend even though the official release date is the 20th.

And I'm not sure if i can wait till the end of next week as this weekend I would have time to watch them..

Ok Just an Update.

Xtravision still has the price of €100 but say that this is not correct.
Virgin have a price of €80 but I was informed by staff there that there is a dispute with the distributer and that this price is nto correct and it should be cheaper.

Also that in virgin they said that it is very likely that they will have it for sale at the weekend.

I was in there today and they have a siplay stand set up with all empty boxes, and loads of posters. Also in Golden discs they where settign up the display stand adn they had the dvd's behind the counter taking them out of there boxes to put on the empty cases on the stand.

I ordered mine from play.com for £27.99 sterling (delivered), which works out at around €42.00, and I know from pre-ordering in the past, they usually ship a couple of days before the official release date, so the wait may not be as long as you might think.

Virgin told me it would be 90 euro.

Im getting mine of amazon, its not the cheapest but cos ill be getting other stuff at the same time itll work out ok in price.

Ordered from play too. For that price you can't refuse and I see it is shipping today. With so many orders it's pot luck when it will arrive but I can wait. They are only the special editions after all

i was in hmv today, there selling it for 55 on monday, im still gonna get it off amazon though, if theres so much as a scratch on even the box of it i swear i will destroy the ppl responsible. (im looking at you "an post")

Btw, whats the difference between the gold and silver box set?

I was in Dublin city today and just on the off chance i took a walk down to grafton street, I checked tower records and they had it for sale
€59.99 so I resisted temptation and thought to check Game, and yes they had it on sale.

€49.99 and a sign said this was a limitied offer till the 20th of September I just happened to have a game €5 rewards voucher so I now own the Star Wars Trilogy, I also chacked game in dawson street they had the stand but no boxes.

I havent had a chance to watch them yet but I am going to over the weekend, I did start up A New Hope and watched the first 20 Minutes, the quality is amazing, you have never seen the films look so good even in the cinema.

i went to buy it today in xtra vision in cork, because a mate at work bought it there yesterday, only for yer wan to tell me that all the dvds have been recalled because of a "fault" (what she didn;t specify), and now wouldn't be on sale till tuesday??

anyone shed any light on this??

Fuhrio

i was in hmv, saw it there, and just couldnt resist, pulled 55 euro outta my pocket and bought it, i coulda got a lot cheaper but meh, its so pretty im almost afraid to touch it.

jaggeh

templecom on the quays between oconnell st bridge and hapenny bridge are selling it for €50

endahehir

I picked it up in HMV in Limerick on Friday night for €55. I was told by a friend of mine that the silver boxed sets had Return of the Jedi on the New Hope disc aswell as the ROTJ disc but that the HMV Special Gold boxes were fine. Sure enough the set I have is fine but the same thing happened in XtraVision in Limerick and Ennis. It could be Tuesday before a lot of places has stock of the silver box sets. Bummer.

I have the gold box. It is Widescreen.
The Gold Box is a limited edition version on sale from HMV only.
The movies within the box are exactly the same as the silver box, same dvd covers, same discs.

Brother tells me that Argos are selling the boxset for 47.99 Aslo when you say that the DVD covers are the same as the silver box do you mean the inlays as well?

Snake Plisken

Actually bought my copy on Friday in Argos for €44.99 has to be the cheapest in ireland, I was going to pay 47.99 but when the girl entered the code it came up at 44.99 , by the way its not in the main catalog u have to look at the special offers leaflet its in there. Anyway 10 euros cheaper then Xtravision!

Cool

elexes

xtra vision usually dont do very good deals on dvd's imo .

okidoki987

At least xtravision are cheaper compared to rip off GD

Snake Plisken

Yes maybe over the internet you can get it cheaper but I'm just talking about stores that you walk into Xtra Vision HMV Virgin are all 10 Euros Dearer, As for buying them from I prefer a higher quality Pal version then lower picture Qual NTSC version, even CD Wow are 52.99 for the Region 2 version.
