The DVD Bargain Alert's Thread!

Basq

This should have been done long ago.. along with one for games / CD's (anyone else.. feel free to start it!)

Simply.. you spot a DVD at an excellent price online / in shops etc. You come on here and post info about it!

Let's keep it going too!

Here's a couple of real cheapie's all under €7.50 (approx) from Play.com to get you started:

Secretary (Prism Edition) @ €4.50 (approx)
Donnie Darko (Prism Edition) @ €4.50 (approx)
8MM @ €7.50 (approx)
28 Days Later @ €7.50 (approx)
Baseketball @ €7.50 (approx)
Buffalo Soldiers @ €7.50 (approx)

OK, gotta ask - what's a "Prism Edition"? Is it the name of the company releasing the DVD or is it something to do with the disc itself?

A Prism Edition is basically devoid of special features..

Zaph

Ah right. Still, about €5 for Secretary is an excellent price, even without the extras.

I'm pretty sure the normal edition of Secretary can be found on sale in HMV for €5.99 at the moment.
Good sale on in there. Got Groundhog Day for €7.99.

It might be a good idea if we all post prices in €uros instead of some in Sterling. Even if it's approximate.

Xterminator

But alot of these offers are for a limited time only, so making it a sticky seems a bit pointless?

I mean post the bargains by all means, but why a sticky?

Alien vs Predator €7.50 (approx)
Dodgeball €7.50 (approx)
Red Dragon €6 (approx)
Man on Fire €7.50 (approx)
Billy Connolly Live 2002 €7.75 (approx)

All of these are from Sendit so there is no postage costs to Ireland.

Basq

If you subscribe to the thread and visit Boards at least once every 2 - 3 days.. you should be in due time to avail of most offers posted!

No-one suggested making it a sticky anyways.. but try to keep it going! (on the first page of Bargain Alerts if possible)

PS - POST 3000... hooray!

rubadub

Yeah, no need for this to be sticky. What DOES need to be sticky is a list of cheap online stores for dvds AND Search engines and discount databases. Rather than having a long thread, there should only be one post and the thread then closed, updated by mods who can get recommendations through. pms.
I have posted the same old links over and over for brilliant search engines, yet this forum is still cluttered up by people looking for sites.

next on the list would be digital cameras, then mp3 players, but there are far more online resources for dvds that these 2 items. DVD Voucher databases have saved me a fortune over the years.

BlueShaun

The thread will get bloated(10 posts per week is a lot for 1 permanent thread), and become useless...Most offers are for a limited time only, so it will be full of crap too, with stock gone, prices changed etc.
It might work if one was setup/cleared every week or 2, but other than that I cant see it working.

A sticky thread with the cheapest places to buy is probably the best idea.

chump

Yea feckit, I reckon leave it the way it was, when if you spotted a good deal you threw it up in its own thread!

Its not like that are that many threads started every day...

Coincidentally I got this email today for a new CD website - Below


Our Mission is to offer you the lowest possible prices on ORIGINAL chart CD and Music DVD titles. Check us out at www.BangCd.com

With FREE DELIVERY WORLDWIDE you’ll be Banging your head in disbelief at our prices!

Most cds are €10.50 or 6.99 sterling. Nearly all music cds are priced €14.40, including the Elvis '68 come special(€31.99 on cdwow). They don't seem to have a huge choice though

garred

I reckon its a good idea. Just post bargains and it will get bloated very quickly if people keep posting comments, try to keep responses to bargain links only.

Here's my 2 cents worth:

The Punisher 2-Disc 6.50

LOTR Two Towers Extended Edition 4-Disc 13.00

I see no problem either, you just look at the date of the posts, always skip to the last page and work up.

live aid 4 disc region 1. about €18.50 excluding delivery, they give you a range of options/prices for delivery, the slowest is very cheap

A stiky of price comparision sites [which include shipping to ire] would be great

zokrez

Good idea basquille.

Bridget Jones 1 - €5.83 inc postage

BTW only links and bargains should be included. No pointless posting. :rolleyes:

corblimey

This might be a pointless post, but the Freebies thread works in much the same way. Most freebies go out of date very quickly. People know to load up the last page and work backwards.

Seasons 1-3 of "Seinfeld" @ €25 (approx. excluding shipping)

Have you used them Samo as they seem to have the shades of splash as discussed here.

By the way there have been a lot of complaints about DVD Soon on various forums as the main supplier has gone bust. Be careful out there.

Yeah meant to post back on this....MX2 didnt seem to have very many of whatever dvd's were on special and the ones I ordered came abck as out of stock :mad: but from what I have heard anyone that did receive them they were perfect so it was just luck of the draw if you got an order in quick for an 'in stock item'.

DVD soon have gone very dodgy alright - and have cancelled the refund back to credit card option so your stuck with store credit for a company with no stock!!

Havent used dvd soon for a long time and am using dvd pacific instead who are much quicker (little bit more expensive for region 1's) but no hassle with shipping/supply etc.
