With 2006 drawing to a close, what was your favourtie dvd bargain this year?

Think mine has to be the £2.99 Goonies DVD from the recent HMV day offer (I know not a lot cheaper than normal, but one I've always wanted hence a real bargain). :)
Happy Xmas all.
 
I think my favourite was the Battlestar Galactica Series 2 for around £9.99 from CD-WOW :)
 
Both Battlestar Galatica S2 for £12.99 and House S2 fom CD Wow for £14.99. House was that price less than 4 weeks after it first came out for £34.99 at most places. Also, BSG was that price just 2 months later.
 
My personal favourite is my 40-disc Bond attaché case for £113 from HMV (after discounts and Quidco)

then there's Enterprise seasons 2 and 4 for a total of £18.48 (CD WOW cancelled, refunded and then despatched one of the orders :rotfl:)

others ... Doctor Who 2005 season for £30 (a one or two day CD WOW misprice either late last year or early this year) ... Doctor Who 2006 season for £33.04 (you can probably still do it at WOW for a dollar/~60p
more)

Stargate Atlantis, SG1, Outer Limits etc - season 1 boxsets very cheap from Amazon.com a month or two ago - around a tenner each iirc
 
peep show seasons 1-3 £9.99 play.com thanks to the daily star £5 voucher

if it were games it would have to be viva pinata for the xbox 360 £19.99 from woolworths.co.uk (yes, they have honoured it, and before xmas)
 
Stargate Atlantis, SG1, Outer Limits etc - season 1 boxsets very cheap from Amazon.com a month or two ago - around a tenner each iirc

I forgot about Atlantis. It came to £12.

I also got V: The series from Amazon for £9.95. It hasn't been delivered yet.

Me too, for both my orders (SG1 S1 & Atlantis S1; Outer Limits S1 & Poltergeist Legacy S1)
- used Nationwide Visa:

08 November 2006 Amazon.com 41.43US DOLLAR at 1.90307762 AMZN.COM/BILL £21.77


- so £10.89 per boxset ;)
I also ordered V at that price :smashin: (completes my V R1 collection), along with Smallville season 1 for £20.21 shipped (15 December 2006 Amazon.com 39.45US DOLLAR at 1.95200395 AMZN.COM/BILL £20.21) - expected delivery after Christmas like yours :)


A few more I'm very happy with ...
Rome Season 1, £17.99 (was actually even cheaper with a nice voucher code) from HMV
Supernatural Season 1, £17.99 (again was less with voucher) from HMV - another spot of yours NWG :smashin:

Yes - superb picture and awesome DTS sound. Well worth double dipping on this one
 
It would of been buying the Leone/Eastwood western box set in a HMV sale but i had already bought all the DVD'd individualy about 2-3 weeks prior in another HMV sale.

So i would have to say finding this site has been my bargain of the year. Also partyweb making me aware of find-dvd.co.uk (thank again partyweb). Both sites make bargain hunting so much easier.

I can only think of The Usual Suspects SE for £2.99 from HMV. Today. Although knowing HMV's delivery, that won't count as a 2006 bargain. More like a 2008 one.

But maybe that's because I only remember it because I've slept since I last ordered anything else so forgot.
 
Red Dwarf S1,2,3,4,6,7 average £7 per series
The Lakes Series1+2 £10
Band of Brothers £20
just come today Red Dwarf S5 £4.50

Now just need to wait for S8 at a bargain price
 
Hmmmmm ones that stick out are Nightmare on Elm Street boxset at £8 from Amazon and the X-files going to £12 a season earlier in the year.

It might have a nightmare at times but I got some absolute bargains from the Filmnight sale at the start of the year - don't remember most of them but the Indiana Jones set for £9.99 stands out.

Also there was a times when a few of us got the Batman 2-disc sets for a knock down price - that was pretty great too.
 
Without a Trace Season 1 for around £8 from amazon.com, thanks to Krish.
Without a Trace Season 2 - under a tenner - cd-wow sale

Rome HMV dotd - £17.99 :thumbsup:

Charmed Season 1 - £6.99 ASDA

Arrested Development Seasons 1-3 - £17 amazon.com

Superman 13 disc UE R2 - £33 - cd-wow ($68 from us site minus $5 voucher) :thumbsup:

Without a Trace Season 2 - under a tenner - cd-wow sale

Supernatural Season 1 - HMV misprice £17 (thanks to this forum again)

I also got WOT as well but at £12.99. I don't think Supernatural was a misprice as it was a preorder and they had plenty of time to cancel it if they wanted to.
 
Nightmare on Elm Street 1-6 @ Amazon for £6.97

Police Academy complete @ HMV for around £14

Hex season 2 @ foxy £4.95

Those much more but those are the ones I remember right now.
 
Wow, what was my favourite bargain of 2006?

Now that is a tough question, what with loads of £5 vouchers flying around from play. Or the odd £20 voucher thanks to dvd.co.uk. HMV with their vouchers and 11% quidco cashback. Amazon with their mis-prices. Filmnight with their... well lets just say the sleep I lost justified the savings. :D And cdwow... well you all should know by now how to save a mint with them.
