    Prices doubles when added to the basket on a lot of these making it far removed from a bargain. And most of them are shocking.

    Are people still buying these?

    Error on front page, clearly calculated at 75% off but is actually 50% when in basket

    Of course!

    To?


    When you add it to your basket it shows the full price. Scroll down and it shows the discount at the bottom of the page

    Thats nothing got to do with what people are saying on here. The discount price is still different to what it should be based on the first pages prices.

    Wouldn't have anything to play these anyway

    Brother in law has a wall full of DVDs and Blu-ray

    Looks ridiculous at this stage

    No gaming console?

    To be honest, I got rid of physical media last year, and then started buying vinyl.. go figure! :pac:

    Regarding pricing issues, i just added 'Suits' and it's showing at the discounted price indicated on first page.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    Would've probably picked up a few for the sake of it but the prices advertised are completely different to the basket prices.....pretty bad own-goal by Easons, even if the prices are still decent, no-one wants to pay double what they thought they would be paying!

    imho, no such thing as a bargain DVD...awful waste of money they are.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,935 ✭✭✭TallGlass


    False positive there.

    Thankfully! I could have ended up spending some cash there!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,067 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Prices showing up fine for me..

    Added Oz..

    Yeah but add that Audrey Hepburn one beside it, will come to 9.99 not 5. Says 50% off but priced at 75% off.

    Some decent deals there if they were 75% off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,117 ✭✭✭cletus


    Was going to pick up the godfather bluray set for €6.25, but comes up as 12.50 at checkout. Pretty stupid

    Also this bargain was here last week and the same story. Surprised they havent sorted it by now, pretty bad form.

    Not sure why people think the physical medium looks ridiculous as if Netflix is the be all and end all of films.

    Considering it's 24 pounds on Amazon, €12.50 is a great price, but yeah, when you've had your head turned by 6.25...

    +1.
    Why advertise it at €6.25 for it to show at €12.50 at checkout?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,066 ✭✭✭✭eh i dunno


    Does THREE15 give 15% off

    My son got Thomas tank DVDs in his stocking at xmas, I had nothing to play them on. Had to bring them to work and copy them onto a USB key.

    If your broadband connection goes down and you want to watch something it won't look so ridiculous ;)

    Isn't it about time useless replys like "who still uses dvds in 2019" were banned from this forum? It makes the place seem so unfriendly

    Really should have read the thread before I got my hopes up of getting a box set for 12.50. OH turning 30 so trying to pick up presents realting to it 30 rock box set ideal but not paying 25 for something that probably won't be watched

    30 Rock is a really great comedy series. It's currently £14.99STG on amazon which is an absolute bargain.

    30 Rock advertised at 12.50 but going in cart for 50 then down to 25, very confusing

    Id have been all over this offer a few years ago, i was like your bro-in-law, then one day i thought fcuk it, packed up all my dvds and blu rays, apart from a few music/fight ones and took them down to CEX, had a large tesco shopping trolley full of them, got 525 store credit, bought a ps4 and a handful of games. Took them 5hrs to sort through them all :pac:

    Not bought a disc since

    Agreed. And Netflix is ****e for films.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,497 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    It's an error.

    But its been like this since last week, surely they know about it and can fix it.

    Gotta agree.. well, banning maybe extreme.. but common courtesy would be just to say nothing and move onto the next thread.

    For example, i think drones are a huge waste of money, but you don't see me going into every drone thread and telling everyone that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,627 ✭✭✭✭okidoki987

    Wonder what they cost you originally? :eek:

    Lot of people complaining about the disc quality in the reviews - just saying.

    It'd be good if people suggested the alternatives.

    I found out from someone on here what Plex was.
    Then I ripped all the DVDs and Blurays I had and I now stream them.

    For me the major positives were
    - freeing up shelves of space
    - no ads and trailers
    - faster to access movies

    "But one mans meat is another mans poison."

    Some people may not have Smart TVs or may enjoy having the library on the shelves or may not know how to / be bothered to rip films.

    "Live and let live."

    Jesus that's two clichéd phrases in one post.
    Here's a third to round it out.

    "Like a turd in the wind"

    I prefer browsing through boxes than text on a screen. I do watch the extras on some films. I like reading the crap on some of the boxes too.

    The compression effect on some stuff is terrible, especially if it is a really dark scene, it only has a few shades of black

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,114 ✭✭✭Jofspring


    I've rubbish internet as I live out the country. Streaming services outside of Netflix never really work. DVDs are still a great option for many people.

    Disappointed to see they are priced wrong too. Had three in my basket ready to go and when I went through it said €75 so left it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,809 ✭✭✭Hector Savage


    Worth it for the Star Trek films boxset alone ! EUR25 on BluRay !! bargain!


  • Registered Users Posts: 938 ✭✭✭HorseRadish


    I contacted their customer service asking what the story was with the mis-pricing,they said they would refund the difference so getting the Chucky boxset for 24.99 and they will refund the difference on it so should get 12.50 back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,028 ✭✭✭✭ButtersSuki

    I haven't watched the entire box set, just the episodes I missed on tv, but all I watched were fine TBH.....

    Was that just a sop to you, or are the prices on the front page right, did they say


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,395 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    7.50 for Deadwood on blu Ray, heard its excellent... So decided to give it a go thanks OP
