    It's went back up in price in my local HMV.. and this is a fiver cheaper than it was on sale.

    Of course, it might be worth waiting for an Amazon price-match.

    EDIT: Amazon have now price-matched! Click here to buy!

    Experience the time travel adventure of a lifetime with Back To The Future!

    Join Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox), Doc Brown Christopher Lloyd) and a time-travelling DeLorean as they travel to the past, present and future - setting off a time-shattering chain reaction that disrupts the space-time continuum.

    From filmmakers Steven Spielberg, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, experience the ultimate time travel adventure. Packed with bonus features - it's time to go Back To The Future!

    Back To The Future: Michael J. Fox stars as Marty McFly, a typical American teenager accidentally sent back to 1955 in a plutonium-powered DeLorean "time machine" invented by slightly mad scientist Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd). During his often hysterical, always amazing trip back in time, Marty must make certain his teenage parents-to-be, meet and fall in love otherwise he'll never be born...

    Back To The Future - Part 2: A visit by Marty and Doc Brown to the year 2015 seems to resolve a few problems with the future McFly family. However, when they return home, they discover someone has tampered with time and Hill Valley, 1985; they must once again get back to 1955 to save their future.....

    Back To The Future - Part 3: Mary Steenburgen joins the cast for this rousing conclusion to the popular series. Stranded in 1955 after a freak burst of lightning, Marty must travel back to 1885 to rescue the Wild West Doc Brown from a premature end. Surviving an Indian attack and unfriendly townsfolk, Marty finds Doc Brown is the local blacksmith. But with the Doc under the spell of the charming Clara Clayton, it's up to Marty to get them out of the Wild West and back to the future...

    Why not? It's the best trilogy EVER! *



    .. yes, I went there!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,194 ✭✭✭✭noodler


    Very weak third film imo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,037 ✭✭✭✭adox


    The second was my favourite, which I think got the worst reviews at the time.

    Got the set off the Mrs for Christmas. Have only watched the first one so far but still fantastic stuff. Very cheap at that price.

    A bluray boxset that they did properly. The audio and video quality is absolutely amazing.

    Not if you buy it on it's own..

    .. but if you're spending over £25 (buying something with it), you'll save €4.

    Better than a kick in the teeth tbh!

    Also some people have noted that some stuff bought off play.com could be stopped by custom's and have Irish VAT added to it.

    Its actually happened to me before when I bought the Matrix Trilogy Blu-Ray frm them about a 2 years ago.
    But that was only one of the many DVD/BD's I have bought of play.com that have been stopped.

    Well.. since it's not far over the €22 limit, I doubt customs would be that bothered.

    But Play.com also have very dodgy packaging.

    A major advantage I find with buying from Amazon is that it (well according to the dispatch email) ships via An Post and arrives super quick. It usually takes about a week for stuff to come from Play, Sendit, Zavvi, TheHut etc!

    Yep, Amazon are the dogs-balls!

    And it's too easy to spend that £25+ to get free shipping.

    I find no problem with their packaging, always fits through the letterbox also, no answering doors with play.com. What does amazon give you a red pillow ?

    Nope, Amazon tend to pack stuff sensibly.. and not overdo it on packaging, as opposed to Play.

    Play.com packages always fit through the letterbox? Consider yourself lucky!

    They have a tendency to use a massive box with something tiny rattling around inside it. They're well known for it actually!

    (an internal hard drive rattling around in a big box)

    (tiny package inside a massive box)

    But if it's never happened you, consider yourself one of the lucky ones!

    I knew you would come back with a big evidential reply,:eek:

    Personally, I only order games, blu-rays/dvd's from play. So thats why they always fit through the letterbox, However once I ordered an optical cable which did arrive in a big box three times the size of the actual product itself. So I do agree with the unecessary packaging as you say.

    In your case, only music,DVD's,Games,Blu-ray's and books can be delivered to Ireland, so I dont know how you got them to send the printer cartridges or the internal HD, as they are computer peripherals and electronics which canot be delivered to Ireland.

    And how do you still have the boxes? did you purchase these recently or did you take those photographs before?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,413 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    I just gathered those photos from various sources online.. they aren't mine.

    But they did send me a T-Shirt recently in a box about the same size as the one shown for the printer cartridges.
