Free Worldwide Shipping, Eureka!
 
eurekavideo.co.uk/offers/easteroffers.html

Specifically topical for blu-ray bargain forum:
eurekavideo.co.uk/offers/BD.html

Many of these are region free. I'd check with dvdbeaver or another site about which ones are before you order.

I ordered City Girl and Une femme mariée, which are both supposedly region free, as is Sunrise.

Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter, Profound Desires of the Gods, Paranoiac, and Fantastic Planet (La Planete Sauvage) are supposedly region B. The others I didn't check.

METROPOLIS is also locked Region B.:(

I went for SUNRISE, which came out to be $21.64 Shipped. A very good price for what is considered one of the greatest Blu Ray discs ever produced.

Thanks for posting this great deal, Ronald!

They actually dropped the prices of some of the Blu-rays this time. Woohoo!

Soul Power is region free as well, FYI

Wow, some nice prices and free shipping. Can't pass this one up. I went ahead and got Black Shield and Wizards. $31.62 with conversion rate for both. Good stuff.

Re: Free Worldwide Shipping, Eureka!
 
Want PRINCE VALIANT and BLACK SHIELD, but can't bite at $18 each for bare bones versions. I mean, not even a trailer? Humbug.

City Girl is another disc worth getting - not only is the film an absolute masterpiece, but the transfer is superb and a typically detailed Kalat commentary is also included.

Re: Free Worldwide Shipping, Eureka!
 
Did anybody get a shipping notice? I don't expect these until probably sometime next week I figure, but just curious.

Seeing conflicting things about the region coding for Paranoiac. Can anyone give a hard confirmation or denial as to whether it's playable in Region-A machines?

I placed on with them last month and my items arrived in a decent amount of time but I never did receive a shipping notice.

Confirmed by Peerpee (Nick from MoC) as region-free in post #6 of this thread from the Criterion Forum:

I don't know why Cash Flagg 'believes' it's Region B, but it's not.
As far as other sale titles go, those Pialat releases are must-owns for any fans of Cassavetes' style of cinema. Humanities and Paper Balloons and L'Argent are wonderful films as well.

I ended up ordering it as well. I'm more into the Hammer horror films than the thriller titles, but the reviews have all been quite positive, and for $15.23 shipped I couldn't pass it up.

Add Oliver Reed in there somewhere and you've got my train of thought. :up:

I agree with you. Wish I could afford it, but money is scarce these days and SUNRISE had to take precedence. But you are right, it's definitely a title to get during this fantastic sale as I have doubts Fox will ever venture this deep into their catalog for Blu.

He's wonderfully menacing in Losey's These are the Damned. I'd love to see an Eureka Blu-ray release of that.

Re: Free Worldwide Shipping, Eureka!
 
Fast turnaround time! Only a week after I ordered it and already here in pristine condition. Secure packing and very fast shipping. But I wonder why they don't put any return address on the package? What would happen if it couldn't be delivered?

Paranoiac! is region-free and will play in any American player.

NoirFan, you will be happy and/or couldn't care less to hear that I followed your advice and picked up CITY GIRL. I figured for $16 shipped it was definitely worth it.

the City Girl blu is fabulous, I wasnt completely sold on the movie but the overall package is fabulous.

I don't think I will ever order from eureka again. They don't even seal their packages. The end was open on one package. The other package had rubber bands around it to keep the ends from opening. Took 12 days to get here. I ordered 13 BDs. They sent 2 copies of one title and 6 BDs are missing. Sent an e-mail to customer service this morning. Haven't heard back from them yet.

Odd. I've only ordered single discs here and there, and they've always arrived promptly (a week and a half ain't too shabby from the UK) and in fine condition.

Ya, I don't have a problem waiting 12 days. I just hope there is another package or 2 coming with the rest of my BDs. If customer service doesn't get back to me in the next 2 days I am filing a paypal dispute.

nitin77 05-04-11 07:20 AM

Re: Free Worldwide Shipping, Eureka!
 
their customer service is usually pretty good so I wouldnt worry yet.

junglalien 05-04-11 09:36 AM

Re: Free Worldwide Shipping, Eureka!
 
The rest of my order just showed up. The only problem is they sent me 2 copies of Black Shield and no copy of City Girl.

Great prices this month...finally picked up the following five titles for about $12.45USD each:
  • Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?
  • Make Way for Tomorrow
  • The Burmese Harp
  • Prince Valiant
  • The Black Shield of Falworth

Re: Free Worldwide Shipping, Eureka!
 
Thanks. In for Sunrise for 13 bucks.

blu_newbie 06-21-11 01:07 PM

Re: Free Worldwide Shipping, Eureka!
 
This time it's somewhat cheaper than the April sale!

Does anyone know if Metropolis is same as the one in US (Complete Metropolis)?

ProfessorEcho 06-21-11 06:39 PM

Re: Free Worldwide Shipping, Eureka!
 
Thanks again to Ronald for the heads up!

Went for BLACK SHIELD and PRINCE VALIANT, two very W I D E S C R E E N pics from the early days of Cinemascope, which should look awesome on Blu. Reviews say VALIANT has some issues with color fluctuation, but that it beats the SD version. I hate that they are both bare bones though, not even including the trailer, but in the end it's the movie that counts.

I considered M, but then found out it's Region B LOCKED. Too bad as it is supposed to be superior to the Criterion BLU and certainly would have been cheaper than the latter.

Kedrix 06-22-11 07:07 AM

Re: Free Worldwide Shipping, Eureka!
 
I had good luck with them last time as well (Black Shield, Wizards). I would like to order Prince Valiant and Ali Baba this time around. Does anybody know if Ali Baba is region locked?

Edit: According to Amazon.uk and another site, it is region free. So I'm good there :) $24.95 american total for the two.

ProfessorEcho 06-22-11 05:35 PM

Re: Free Worldwide Shipping, Eureka!
 
Almost ordered WILL SUCCESS SPOIL ROCK HUNTER before I read on Beaver that it's Region LOCKED. I am so sick of all these Region restrictions as I have an SD Region Free player, but not a Blu one. Eureka has the vastly superior METROPOLIS set, but it's locked. Good news on ALI BABA though, but couldn't it at least have the trailer on it?

I am never satisfied, but at least I am self-aware.;) We apologize for the inconvenience.

Ordered Make Way for Tomorrow for $12.34, hell of a deal! Once Amazon gets their act together I should be able to sell the Criterion DVD for a decent profit.

Re: Free Worldwide Shipping, Eureka!
 
My Sunrise BD arrived today. Thanks again!

Hopefully that means I will see my shipment by tomorrow sometime if it works out the same. Wunderbar!

The above is what I ordered.

Today, I received a package from Eureka containing:
  • For All Manking
  • Profund Desires of the Gods
  • La Planete Sauvage

They better not expect me to pay to ship these back to the UK.

I would certainly hope not. Geezus, that is not even close. Almost like they switched boxes and somebody else has your blu-rays. Actually I would bet that is what happened. I am guessing mine will be here today. If I get those five titles you mention first, I'll let you know ;) (of course then the obvious question would be who got my two discs. :hscratch:)

I'm sure they'll just tell you to keep them. Those are all Region B though.
