Thanks, Kenbuzz. dvd.co.uk has fast shipping, from previous experience. Too bad they didn't put Hot Fuzz on the list. I've been waiting for a price drop on that title.

If only they put The Fog, Mullholland Drive and The Graduate on that list...

DVD Polizei 04-29-08 08:10 PM

Just an FYI, The Graduate will have forced subtitles when you select English for the audio. The subtitles are movable to some degree, and can be reduced in size.

I would recommend anyone wanting the $8.95 Magnolia titles on Amazon to get them ASAP. They are becoming harder to get. School For Scoundrels is just about OOS for good on Amazon's site and it's permanently OOS for DeepDiscount. I just picked up all the horror flicks which are not spectacular, but what the hell, for $8.95...

The Graduate was not one of the Studio Canal titles with forced subtitles. It had identical releases in France and the UK.

Could you be confusing it with Serpico or Three Days of the Condor, perhaps?

The Graduate is highly recommended. No forced subtitles.

Nope. I have it my hands right now. Studio Canal. And I watched it this weekend. Forced subtitles when choosing English audio. Unless I'm totally missing how to bypass them.

I also have 3 Days Of The Condor, btw.

DVD Polizei 04-29-08 08:49 PM

On my particular disc it says:

Universal / Studio Canal

31020 / G42 / R0

So I dunno, maybe there are other versions out there than just the two (my version has German cover art) which are rumored to not have any subtitle forcing. But in my version, I gott'em.

dvd.co.uk also has Battlestar Galactica Season 1 for $28 USD shipped

DVD Polizei 04-29-08 10:05 PM

More like $35 USD shipped. But still a pretty good deal. I get Euros and Pounds mixed up myself.

Does anyone know if the UK BSG box/case the same as the version sold in Australia?

Update: Based on what I've read elsewhere, it looks like the UK set ships in the same fold-out case that is used for the Heroes Season 1 HD set.

GreenMonkey 04-29-08 10:58 PM

Thanks kenbuzz!

Ordered Atonement and Apollo 13. Was going to order Atonement anyway from amazon.uk for ~$15 for the wife for mother's day, so might as well spend the extra $7 for another disc. Funny, I sold Apollo 13 once, but I regretted it.

kenbuzz 04-30-08 10:52 AM

Damn, I must like you guys, to keep updating this every other day.

Star Trek is back up to it's regular price, and titles are disappearing left and right. At this point, it looks like you snooze, you lose if you don't jump in. As before, I'm not updating the exchange rate except on a weekly basis, so the net cost in USD may be off by a dime here or there.

Still pending....

Now showing all four shipped on 4/30. With shipping charge of $17.50, total is $48.12 which I assume is AUD. So that's about $45, give or take.

I added THE FOG and KING KONG (1976) and it gave me the discount!!

EDIT: sorry those are 2 for 15.00 not 2 for 10.00

kenbuzz 04-30-08 06:31 PM

My Star Trek TOS S1 set shipped from Australia yesterday as well. Yaay!

I picked up two of the 2-for-10 HD DVDs from DVD.uk > one was Fearless, I can't recall which the other one was (that's pretty sad, I know). I also grabbed two 2-for-10 R2 SD DVDs > 1984 (OOP over here) and The Dalek Chronicles (two disc set, Peter Cushing). Even though the Cushing Doctor isn't considered canon, I still want to see it. And US$11 for both of the Cushing Dalek movies isn't too bad a price, IMO. But still, since I needed a 2nd title to get the discount on 1984, I'm pretty happy with the order overall. Let's see how quickly they ship....

shoppbs.org's sale is a joke and a half. Yeah, they got discounts up to 80%.

If you like VHS.

The shipping so kills this deal for me. I have four titles in my cart and they come to $24.41 USD which averages $6.10 each. Very nice....until you add the $19.70 shipping and your prices leaps to a hair under $11 ea. Good prices and much cheaper than DD, but more than I'm interested in paying.

I wonder if Amazon is prepping for an HD DVD BOGO sale. I noticed this morning that they jacked up the prices of almost all of their HD DVD inventory.

Gizmo 05-01-08 08:54 AM

Can we start an International HD DVD clearance sale thread? I keep getting my hopes up that B&Ms or Amazon are having a sale and its the same ezdvd website over and over.

I couldn't agree more with this.
