    I ordered this last night when it was 38.99... Is there much possibility of Play honouring this?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,340 CMod ✭✭✭✭Davy


    I hope so. It wasn't a crazy price like a misprice so hopefully they will honour it. Check your account and see whats the status with it. It is in stock, and usually dispatched with 24 hours.

    It says packing. But I'm not sure whether that is just teh generic thing that they put on all accounts awaiting approval. Hopefully not.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,340 CMod ✭✭✭✭Davy


    Thats not the norm, they will cancel the order going by previous misprices

    If it says packing then maybe you got lucky. Maybe that was the correct price last night.

    Usually misprices are cancelled.

    I edited this, its now on offer at amazon for cheaper than play.com

    Great deal, but one thing to note on the region 2 version. It is edited on some seasons. The R1 version is not edited.

    Really? edited? WTF? Sure it's original air time was about 7pm? What could be edited from it?

    Great price mind you, if I didn't have TV sets hanging out of ears I'd have to buy it.

    I'm not sure of the full details, but I think it is something to do with copyright on the music score on some episodes, Leading to some scenes with certain music be edited out!

    Edit,
    Found the website with the details... See here

    Thanks this is the best price I've seen for this. Just a quick bit of info. There is another complete Fools and Horses box set cheapest is about £80. I think the main difference between this set and the £80 one is it includes the Christmas Specials. Although you can get those separately anyway. The other complaint about the 2 box sets are the cuts. Just looking at the list, they don't seem that important to me.

    Thanks for the info on the cuts. Read the reviews on amazon and some say they ruined the series. Anyone on here have any views on the box set.

    Bought it months ago cant complain about it. Its not really something you once notice imo till its pointed out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,340 ✭✭✭Cmar-Ireland


    Unfortunately the US R1 version is the only way to go for this.
    See these reviews on Amazon UK

    I ordered this initially from play for 38 euro and they have honoured it! It has been posted which is great... except that I didn't realise about those edits when I ordered it.

    Which sucks because some of those edits look really bad and some important stuff is missing. So I may return it to Play.

    Such a shame.

    The so called complete set is also edited.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,340 ✭✭✭Cmar-Ireland


    Yoshytoshy is right, the US version is also edited, although to a much lesser extend that the UK one.
    It's possible that the only way to get the unedited ones is to buy them as individual series.

    I think they are only available on vhs
