But remember, Mediadis.com doesn't have the kind of shipping network and power that Amazon has.

Fascinating story - which is meaningless to anyone but you if there isn't some kind of link to where others might take advantage of such a deal. Otherwise, no one cares - particularly in this thread.

I got it off of CL. No one could take advantage if they wanted to. People have posted similar finds all over this thread. Remove stick from ass .

I should have included that in my OP, but had to post and run and forgot. My bad.

I also ordered it within minutes, got charged and then got refunded and told it's not coming. It's sad, but oh well, too bad - they were extremely generous with the Harry Potter offer (4.90 per film) when Total Recall was temporarily out of stock. The stuff they do send to me get here quick and reliably; it's a clearance and if they say prioritised the Australian orders that's fair enough.

I noticed Cockwork Orange for $13.99 at Fry's. Is that worth it for a bad picture?

At Circuit City they had very few titles of interest to me. None of the Kubrick films were there...

I did manage to get Superman: The Movie and Superman 2: The Richard Donner Cut HD-DVD's for $12.50 each. They only had one copy of each and as these were on the top of my HD wish list it seemed like a decent price for them.

Updated prices in red

Linky: http://www.ezydvd.com.au/promo.zml?p...&dreg=1&dsav=1

Sets (w/flat rate shipping)
Battlestar Galactica S1 AU$31.66 + AU$9.50 s/h = US$37.80 (Note 1)
Harry Potter S1-S5 AU$45.30 + AU$20 s/h = US$60.00 (Note 2)
Star Trek TOS S1 AU$90.75 + AU$20 s/h = US$101.70 (Note 3)

These sets have their own shipping rates and are NOT counted when computing shipping for individual titles.

Set Notes:
(1) The Aussie BSG HD does include the S1 mini-series, making this an incredible deal even with the extra shipping cost!
(2) The Harry Potter S1-S5 HD "set" is for the movies only. This is not the same as the HP Gift Set. The best domestic price for the HP Gift Set is currently US$71.49 (free shipping) at Amazon. Are bookmarks and a cool box worth an extra US$11?
(3) This is available cheaper from Amazon (US$96.95) right now.

International Shipping
1 = AU$5.50 = US$5.10
2 = AU$9.50 = US$8.80
3 = AU$18.00 = US$16.60 (includes insurance and registration)
4 = AU$21.00 = US$19.30 (includes insurance and registration)

A follow-up about the Aussie BSG S1 HD set. In the original clearance thread, someone from NZ mentioned that the set did not include the miniseries - they had it in hand IIRC. I don't have mine in hand yet, so I cannot personally confirm or deny that. I'm sticking to the assumption that the set does not include the miniseries (see above), and that the difference in prices between the US and AUS versions more than makes up for the potential lack of a miniseries.

Once I get my set, or if a domestic DVDTalker who has ordered this set gets theirs and reports in, we can confirm the set contents. Either with or without the miniseries, this is still a very, very good price, IMO.

Picked up The Aviator and T3 on HD DVD today from CC. Wasn't much to choose from. But I thought finding Aviator was a good thing.

Huh? Why would someone from NZ's word not be good? I am also from New Zealand and have seen that BSG doesn't contain the mini-series.

I think kenbuzz is saying this because he doesn't know if these are the same versions which NZers have, and the same those in the US will receive when they order. I don't think it's a matter of dislike of country or its citizens.

Yup, that's what I try to say, although it wasn't apparently done very clearly.

Some folks are pointing out that ezyDVD's site shows the set as including the miniseries, but I would tend to believe someone who actually has the set in-hand.

Unless those sneaky Aussies are sending the Kiwis substandard sets, and are shipping the regular sets to their own citizens and us Yanks as well.

According to a member on hidefdigest who bought BSG from ezydvd, this set does in fact include the mini series.

I just brought the set, and can confirm that it does have the mini series. The Ezy DVD website states that the set is only 4 disks and includes 12 episodes. It is in fact 6 discs and contains all episodes.

Sadly I got a floater in the case...

for the miniseries being included

for getting a floater


I've updated the ezyDVD list (above) to confirm the miniseries.

The Australian release of Order of the Phoenix is a single disc non-Combo edition. It appears to be identical to the US release, except no DVD side on the disc. The UK 2-disc set with bonus features in HD is still the best all-around edition of the movie.

It's also worth noting that the Australian release of the first film is the American "Sorcerer's Stone" version on the disc, despite the packaging being labelled "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

Hmm, just a couple days after I praised EzyDVD for having great communication they've stopped responding to me. So now I'm thinking I may get stuck with having to call my bank and initiating a refund through them for the price of the disc
