RodN 2 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Brilliant value wow what a find - do staff get store discount on top of that too..? (not like I'm greedy or anything sub 30 bucks is great value). Damn I wish those cheaper sony players would hurry up and get here! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Silkman 0 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Must find out which ones are region free. All of them! These are sold in Australia, so no region issues to worry about. That is a great price BTW. cheers, Silkman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Felix.. 16 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Looks like I may have to cancel my Amazon order for Shooter. The Big W price is virtually the same as the marginal cost of importing from overseas. Just hope my local store has stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

With BluRay, some movies and studios tend to pick and choose movies. Fox movies are defo region coded. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

momaw 0 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Now where is momaw so I can try to tell him he's better off locally. Oh my! You got me there. Why oh why did I just import The Fifth Element, Wild Things - Unrated, The Host, Infernal Affairs, Wings of Honneamise and Patlabor when I could have got them for $25 at Big W? I better cancel my orders for Ghost in the Shell, Patlabor 2, The Crow, Oldboy, Pans Labarynth, Memoirs of a Geisha, Troy Extended Cut, Underworld unrated and Blade Runner Ultimate Edition and grab them in this $25 dollar sale.

Hydrology 2,165 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Given the choice of buying locally or overseas, even for a few dollars saving buying overseas, I would be happy to wait, Having spent the last 7 odd years buying DVDs online, Im just used to it. Thats not to say I have never impulse bought locally, but I also hate to support big stores like JB. Odd, but just habit Im afraid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewW 0 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 But how much of a premium would you pay for instant gratification? Pete, I think you may have missed the sarcasm in Mo's post, and the fact that none of the title's listed are actually available in Australia Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jliang70 62 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 At the risk of being a lazy bugger, is the local XMen 3 region free, or playable on Region A machines? I think local Xmen 3 is region locked. Out of all the titles at $29 I will probably get 300 which is a warner bro title and from the box I saw at Blockbuster it is region free.

zorg1503559539 0 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 don;t forget at 3:30pm on the day before the sale starts ie Wed for Thursday the sytem usually changes over to the sale prices when it scans. So you can get there early before they run out. You didn;t hear that from me and shhh don't tell anyone hehehe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Danny Boy Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Whoa! I just received the BigW catalogue and what a huge score for BD. Not only is there no mention of a rival format, but the whole back page goes into detail about BD. A huge percentage of the population receive this catalogue. Average joe is gonna take notice. $29.48!!!! I'm still in shock. And for the hard of reading I'm talking about PRICE not range. Next thing they'll tell me is 23.99 USD plus P&H is cheaper than this. And you can shove your limited discount too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hakka69 22 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 If I can get movies locally for <$30 I will get an Aussie release Blu player. I was considering importing a US player so I could get my movies at a reasonable price. The most i have paid for a HD DVD is $38 for the 300 combo, I have about 30 others that were $25 or below. Hakka. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Went to K Mart Fountain Gate today - neither format in stock - DSE had a BR stand and a few HD DVD's all at arm and leg prices but at least they've got them, Big W aren't putting out the advertised one's until the sale begin and didn't go to Target as they make DSE look cheap,. Apparently I need to post this here so it becomes relevant Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And you can shove your limited discount too. But I thought you died in the wool blu-boys said it was content that mattered? Now content doesn't matter, it's price? i suppose that irony would be lost on you. I also thought this BigW sale was a "limited discount". So this limited discount is more valid than another? You are a very confused little Danny boy. You can't even keep your arguments straight. Oh and yes, I am paying less than $29.48 for most of my titles and as nearly all local titles are region free, when sales like this come up I can purchase from that range as well. I'm sorry this somehow offends you. But I informed myself before purchasing a player and am now reaping the rewards. Sorry guys, I know I shouldn't converse with the trolls, but there is literally nothing else on the boards at the moment and he is so daft it's like shooting fish in a barrel.
