Re: Band of Brothers £15.99

Typical, only ordered this on Saturday evening as I didn't think it would get any cheaper than £17.99. Grrrr. Contenting myself with the fact that at £17.99 it was still an absolutely bargain.

Re: Band of Brothers £15.99

Is this worth getting if you already have the standard dvd ?

YES, and for that price you'll be mad not to! I did upgrade from DVD and must say it's well worth it.

I paid more than double that and still was a happy bunny then.

Re: Band of Brothers £15.99

Is it more likely to arrive bashed and dented from Play? You do get a few pence back in Quidco but in my experience amazon package things much better!

Very Likely.... I remember buying this on DVD from play and it was smashed. Stick to Amazon - better packaging and definately better Customer Service should anything go wrong.

I still remember when I ordered the R1 DVD set when it first came out. With postage and import duties I ended up paying close to £70. Ouch! For that reason I've been sitting on the fence as regards getting this set.

Guess what? I'm off the fence. I think I would be a fool not to purchase the blu ray replacement at this price.

It it helps you decide, I received this box set on Saturday from Play. The tin was safely bundled up in bubble wrap inside the outer envelope. There was very little chance of it getting damaged.

All the best.

Mine came wrapped in bubble wrap in a big box from Play and was perfect, plus I got Quidco as well.

Mine also came packaged very well like Dave H's

Play must have had complaints/returns when packing something that could so easily get dented.
