caster troy · 05-06-2008, 7:47 PM

ok, so now the fire sale is coming to an end how many hd dvds have you bought and what was, in your eyes, your best bargin. (i will post mine later as i am writing this on my psp)

IAN P · 05-06-2008, 8:18 PM

22 films later

,they were all good bargains(the guilt is creeping in as i type

)looking forward to the Shining

AgentCool · 05-06-2008, 10:22 PM

I bought 11 in total. Couldn't really name a 'best bargain' though as they were all roughly the same price - £5-8.

Sonic67 · 06-06-2008, 12:43 AM

Heroes boxset for £22. Cheaper than the DVD let alone HD.

Thanks to this thread here:

rawdonwhite I love you.

It was my favourite series and one I'm rewatching.

Jase Winter · 06-06-2008, 12:46 AM

I guess 'best bargain' would be some of the AUS ones that were $7 each. Can't remember how many I had before the sales (was roughly 40-50) but I now have 122. My fave's are my bladerunner briefcase, heroes season 1 and T2 Ultimate edition (german one).

forrestgump · 06-06-2008, 10:26 AM

still plenty of ones for sale cheap so fire sale is not really over yet, the hut/amazon.co.uk/amazon.com/ezy dvd etc, etc.

I have battlestar galactica seson 1 box set for £12.70 off amazon marketplace as my bargain.

Blue Triangles · 06-06-2008, 10:40 AM

For me it was the three Bourne films for £20 from Play. Three brilliant films for £6.66 each. Also just bought Blood Diamond and The Kingdom for £4.99 each from HMV.

**Bald Monkey** · 06-06-2008, 11:28 AM

What's this nonsense about the sales coming to an end?

There's still plenty of movies I'm watching and waiting till they hit the £5 and below price..

oldnewbie · 06-06-2008, 11:34 AM

Has anybody got a nice collection of betamax videos aswell :rofl:

Jakeh1969 · 06-06-2008, 1:14 PM

I've been remarkably restrained and only bought one, Tremors from Play.com at £2.99 (£4.99 less a £2 discount voucher).

Much as I love HD-DVD I can't make myself go out and buy lots of cheap disks because at some point in the future I'll have lots of disks and a faulty disc player.......

**Bald Monkey** · 06-06-2008, 2:33 PM

Just picked up the Star Trek Original Series 1 Box Set for less than £20 delivered!

(amazon... now back up to £100

)

Sounds like a bargain to me!

Junglist · 06-06-2008, 5:13 PM

i have just bought a Toshiba laptop that has a HD DVD drive...and even though the hd dvds are dirt cheap i just cant see myself buying any. I think i would rather build up my BD collection.

the hut have a few below £5.00 mate, I can see there being enough hd-dvd's in shops/on line till at least christmas, should be £2-3 by then!

caster troy · 06-06-2008, 7:34 PM

ok my turn i got about 20 disks (10 to the missys) my biggest bargin was kiss kiss bang bang from ezydvd for £2.50 and i was one of the lucky ones to pick up the hd dvd add on from amazon.de for £13.

Doz007 · 07-06-2008, 12:42 PM

I've picked up a few bargains, but I've been waiting for the Matrix trilogy to fall in price for ages.

Finally arrived yesterday £14.99 from play!

mikehb · 08-06-2008, 10:13 AM

My best bargins would have to be Jack Ryan Collection HD £35 back in Jan & Star Trek season 1 HD £25 (new)

b33r · 08-06-2008, 10:31 AM

I think my best bargain was the player in the first place, the 360 add-on and 2 films for 25 from gamestation. In the two weeks since i bought that I now have 40 HD DVD's

Did a little maths and after various discounts and quidco etc works out at just under £4 a disk. wicked stuff

Loving the Planet Earth series.

I would've considered it at that price. As it is I've just got Apollo 13 and the Big Lobowski for a fiver each. The recent BBC version of Bleak House for £8.

Cheers

Naan_H · 13-06-2008, 12:39 AM

Transformers, heroes, planet earth, v for vendetta, 300, american gangster, last samurai, training day, batman begins, superman returns, awaiting king kong. have only really seen transformers and it is just breathtaking on my new 42inch 1080p LCD!

I have a ps3 and dont have any blu-rays yet but this hd-dvd drive through the 360 / PC is nothing short of sensational. Cant see myself getting any blu-rays anytime soon!!!

Any more recommendations to pick up on hd-dvd?

caster troy · 18-06-2008, 1:47 PM

just got heroes hmv 12.99, nice

Uncle Bulge · 18-06-2008, 6:41 PM

matrix trilogy for 14.99 , superb

dnandrews · 18-06-2008, 8:13 PM

My total collection is around 40 HD-DVDs. Unfortunately most were bought before the format war ended but I did pick up 10 from Currys Online last week for £4.93 each!

Bought all I want from Currys and Asda, can anyone point me to any others still selling off stock? Tried a link to HMV but it no longer worked.

Would love to get Star Trek S1 if its cheap enough and a relative wants the Matrix trilogy.

David

EDIT - I see HMVs main link still works so just browsing that!
