Both of the Artificial Eye Fassbinder box sets are £17.99 at the moment which is the cheapest I have seen them.

Prime Suspect-Complete Collection is 11.97 before VAT is removed. I believe it is the cheapest it's ever been and, if you are region free, is an absolute steal.

Great price on Cracker Complete Collection for only £15.97.

Rumpole Of The Bailey - Series 1-7 - Complete [DVD] £15.93 (84% off)

I could ignore this one no longer - $21.51 total.

You can pre-order Chaplin at Keystone from Amazon UK for $27 delivered to the US - that's less than half what the domestic release costs (and I certainly would have picked it up by now if it had been that cheap!). Maybe it's time I got that Laurel & Hardy set as well....

I wonder if Steptoe & Son: The Complete Series has ever been cheaper...

Trailer Park Boys 1-6 is about $35 right now. (oddly, the 1-7 series is no longer available at amazon.ca)

John Hodson

...or The Tony Hancock BBC Collection. Bargains both.

I was wondering If anybody had any problem watching their Russ Meyer set on U.S. Region 1 DVD Players or on their PS3 ???

this set worked on all my r1 dvd players execpt my ps3

It is region free and PAL, so PS3's and most Blu-ray players won't play it, but most DVD players will

I know this is a little off topic, but which current DVD players are best for region-free playing; preferably something not too pricey. I have an old Cyberhome that's supposed to work, but it mangles up the picture of my "test" region 2 disk. Any direction would be appreciated.

I had a cheap philips player that worked great, do a search and you should be able to find a few models in the $20-30 range.

I currently use an Insignia NS-WBRDVD blu ray player. That has built in Wi-Fi, Pandora and Netflix, and can be made region free. Keep an eye out at ebay or best buy's auction site and you can get refurbs for around $50-75.

zombeaner

It can? Tell me more...

The issue was discussed at length in this thread:
http://forum.dvdtalk.com/dvd-bargain...-97-40-us.html

also on Amazon's customer reviews. I have a cheap Region 1 player and a pricier Oppo Region Free player that I have played lots of R0,1,2,3 all without a problem, however this set exhibited some problems for me on both: what I think is referred to as "ghosting" or "PAL Shudder" in certain scenes where the image seems to skip across the screen rather than moving smoothly and fluidly. Some people said that their copy didn't do that and it must be a problem with certain players. Personally, I still kind of doubt that this is the case, but I don't want to reopen the debate. The consensus was that even if it were a manufacturing defect, it's a VERY MINOR one and not worth missing out on the great bargain. These films will probably never look better. I'm perfectly happy with mine, even though I've only watched about 4 of them so far, and it was only $2 a film.

I just sent you a PM, not sure if we are allowed to post that kind of stuff here.

The Masters of Cinema Naruse Vol 1 Box set looks to be about $30/$32 shipped; I think I may go ahead and bite on this one. I've only seen a one or two of his films before, but consider myself a fan of early Japanese cinema...and the 184-page book is real icing on the cake. --Peter

I agree on Philips for cheap region free dvd. Most of their players are easily convertible.

With their older players Oppo admitted to a motion jitter problem with dvdr's burned on a standalone set top machine. I also had that problem with a Philips 727. That issue has nothing to do with PAL/NTSC, though.

Anyone know if Being Human S1-2 BD set is playable on a PS3? Their 17.93 price (in pounds) seems pretty decent... With VAT deduction and shipping, it is 18.34 which Amazon estimates as $29.91 US....

I received my Laurel & Hardy collection today; pristine condition and delivered by UPS (all my other orders from Amazon UK were always USPS, with occasionally DHL doing the actual air transport across the Atlantic). --Peter

dvd_chance

That is odd being UPS delivered. Was it a rush delivery or odd shaped package?

Dusty Bottoms

I could not get Being Human S1 to play on my U.S. PS3. If I remember right, it was region free, but the 1080i 50hz content caused a problem.

kenbenobi

Thanks, I won't order it then. If I can find it in-store, the current B&N sale with membership discount and $5 coupon will make S1-2 cost slightly more, but at least I'll be able to play everything...
