Include me pls... thanks.

peace!!!

Is it too late to join the beta program?  If not, count me in. 

Hope that G-Cash and other payment options will be available soon, if the store is to succeed, it would need those to be accessible to the masses.   And often times, there's a reluctance to use credit card online...  so G-cash, Debit Cards, and perhaps COD, could expand the reach of the store...

It's looking pretty good.

Thanks! Rest assured that we are working hard in improving the site and in in ensuring that it goes live sooner than later.

Good morning, I have sent out more beta version invites. For now we are not accepting new applications while we fine-tune the site. for comments please message me. Thanks!

Chief firewired, how much information will the distributors give with regards to the coming soon section? For the current month only? Including next month? Including the next month after? Will it be like other online DVD stores (like Amazon.com, etc.)?

I get "Page cannot be displayed"  most of the time for the inner pages.   Is this by membership only?

experiencing the same av_phile 

I registered earlier today, got the email confirmation. But the account is not yet validated.  The free shipping promo looks interesting.

Hello. The whole store can be browsed even by non members. Perhaps there is a problem with the connection? May I know what your ISP is so we can try to duplicate the issue? We have been experiencing difficulty reaching some sites today using PLDT DSL but our Innove connection is unaffected. Our servers are based in Texas. We chatted with our technical support specialist there and he said everything's ok on their end.

[Dowals]

browsed the avaialble titles, are they all from warner? how bout the ones from other distributors like VIVA & magna?

[jeckjeck]

looking good! now even shoping for R3 releases, I wouldn't have to leave the comfort of my armchair 

[randyv]

Yes right now our stock is all from Warner. They are highly automated so it was ideal to integrate with their system. We are in the process of negotiating commercial terms with Magnavision and Viva. We hope to carry them soon along with the other distributors.

By the way, "Syriana" is now available. If you order tonight or first thing tomorrow morning, we will expedite delivery to Manila addresses on Thursday.

really really nice!! sana when astro's on sale kayo rin on-sale

[im2bz]

why do we have to scan the credit card and license pa? :'(

[McDreamy]

Great site. I just wish there was a huge sale (lower than Astro prices) to serve as a grand launching/opening! Since there's an Astrovision store in almost all malls where most people pass by on their way to and from work, maybe few will avail of this site where you have to use your credit card, then wait for 1 to 2 days to get the DVD, with the same price (actually plus P55 pa). Right now, the only benefit I see is that I saw some hard to find Warner titles in the website such as Superman I (naubos na to sa Astro coz of the Superman Returns hype), Iron Giant, and City of Angels. Anyway, good luck and more power! I hope I can buy from this site soon once my funds are available.

[randyv]

1) About sales, we will definitely have them to coincide with Ortigas or Ayala weekend events.

2) The credit card scanning or attached photo for verification is an agreement between our payment gateway and our customer support for security purposes. Unfortunately the Philippines is still tagged as a high risk area when it comes to online transactions. The extra step is meant to protect local credit card holders from unauthorized use of their cards. It is admittedly inconvenient but our situation requires it for now.

3) We are not really competing directly with stores in malls like AstroVision but if gas keeps going up perhaps we will be a viable option.  Our long term goal is to be able to address DVD needs of collectors who are located in areas and provinces with no easy access to retailers.

Thanks for your comments!

Ordered my DVD Tuesday, arrived this morning, will be watching it this evening, DVD arrived bubble wrapped and in pristine condition. 
Looking forward to more titles being added.

was trying to fax my id/CC just now but your fax doesnt seem to accept any calls, it just rings continously ... do i need to fax it during office hours only?

[firewired]

Couldn't reach any of the .biz guys anymore but I did try their 635.2130 number just now and got a fax tone. Same one you called?

[d4nu65+3R]

browsed the site yesterday and i noticed one thing in the front page ad, it was mentioned that international orders will be available by the end of the year.  query:  dont know if i read into this right, does that mean r1 dvds (or for that matter, r2, 3, etc.) will be available later this year or pinoys abroad can start ordering from the site?  a clarification would be greatly appreciated.
