Title: Magnavision: BUY ONE, TAKE ONE on ALL (?) Imported DVD9s (July 2007)
Post by: Mr. Hankey on Jul 17, 2007 at 06:52 PM
I just got back from Astrovision V-Mall, and was very surprised to see that ALL NEW MAGNAVISION IMPORTED DVD9s (Php 895) were BUY ONE, TAKE ONE.

And I really mean ALL: Even the newest releases are included - Ghost Rider 2-Disc Extended Cut with slipcase, The Pursuit of Happyness, Catch and Release, Smokin' Aces, Man of the Year... everything!

You really need to buy them in pairs, though, but at 447.50 per imported DVD9, it's really worth it.

The older imported titles also have a promo. I think it's Php 400 for 2 DVDs - Combination of 1 Old Imported DVD9 and 1 Budget DVD of your choice.

The other budget titles are still at 2 for 500 or 3 for 600.

Is this promo ongoing at all other shops, as well?

Takbo na!

When I got my copy of 300 last Friday from Astroplus SM Makati the manager told me about the buy one take one promo on P895 dvds. I checked out the DVDs and they were indeed buy one take one!  ;D Told the manager I'll be coming back the following (this) week.  :D :D

Not with Odyssey/O Music, that is as of today. They were actually surprised to hear that the newest releases were already included, since it's only been a month. But this titles are really slooooow in sales, after all. this promo might get this titles going....at least.

Since I've mentioned O Music, they have a promo now. Titles priced at 333 became 400, and get 1 free budget DVD, you have to choose from the list though. Not bad, just add 67pesos and get a good titled budget DVD, a little more discount will almost lead you to the price of a p***d dvd.

Ya I was in astro virramall last nite..Saw this nga was really surprise na these new releases are included.
I got In Pursuit of Happyness and Ghost Rider. Was so happy hehe..To me if they can price like this within a month (for example). I think new releases should be priced like this or even lower to kill p....cy and of course have a bigger selection also..

Hold on your horses guys!
    I just came from Astro SM Makati , a Magna rep told me that the promo girl who sold several Ghostrider dvds was reprimanded :( . There should be an official list re the buy1 take1 sale where recent releases are not included(i saw the list). Siya rin daw magbabayad ng kulang. As for the list, I didn't see Spidey2.1 and Mission Impossible 3 ???

I was also told the same sad news when I passed by this noon and said that there was a miscommunication regarding the pricing in one branch.  Selected lang pala ang Buy-one-take-One na titles.

There's a MAJOR mistake somewhere, then.

I actually did NOT believe these new titles were included in the sale, and I even asked the girl at the counter to check on her computer if the prices were indeed lowered. She did, and I saw the items listed on the monitor of their central computer priced at 447.50. This is V-Mall, and apparently, it also happened at other branches. It could not have been just one promo girl's error. Several people made the mistake, so it's a company communication error. If Magna charges the poor promo girls for errors which weren't theirs, then:

It's actually 447.50 @ ;D  Shades of the 300 fiasco...

I actually am sort of sad to see this promo.  Since I got Pursuit of Happyness at full price.  But oh well, Magnavision should just lower the price of new releases and stop all these promo.

The best of the lot are:

World Trade Center
Friends With Money
Zoom
Talladega Nights
War of the Worlds
Hellboy 2 Discs
Gridiron Gang
Failure to Launch
Miami Vice
Monster House

Hitch

Some relatively new Magna titles have been slashed by 50% (from Php 895) in Astro stores. I don't know how long this will last. Some of the significant titles I saw are:

World Trade Center
Charlotte's Web
Jaws
(the 30th Anniversary Edition in Digipak, down to Php 650)
The Da Vinci Code (2-Disc, Slipcased)
Stranger Than Fiction
Perfect Stranger
Norbit

and several other B-movie Sony releases

I was also told that Children of Men is included, but Astro SM Makati didn't have stocks.

Charlotte's Web was slashed down  to 299 pesos during the last Podium sale.
Some of the 50% discount titles were also down to 299 like Zoom, You Me Dupree. . .
They could further lower the price of the older titles to 199pesos, so watch out for further reductions.
I was also told that Children of Men is included, but Astro SM Makati didn't have stocks.

I saw Children of Men at 50% off last weekend sale at Rockwell.  But with all the P150 sales going on at the moment, it seems a little pricey pa.  I'll wait for it na lang to go down to P299 or even P199.  Who knows, maybe lower?  You can never tell these days.

P199 ( Astro Podium )

Chain Reaction (my wife's still in love with keanu, if not this movie..)
Gigli (curious why this is considered one of the worst movies of all time? and my wife also loves ben affleck )

problem with the ongoing sale is it makes you pick up movies you won't dare buy before... oh well...

P333 ( Landmark )

Jarhead 2 disc edition  ( finally got a hold of a 2 disc edition at a cheap price, or is it? the reviews are good so i picked this one up also)

in the end, didnt buy the giftset. as far as i know, the gift set includes Langdon's diary, cryptex and the serial numbered certificate (limited release to 5000 only).  there's a thread at R3 as to the contents....forgot the link  ???  its just made from hard cardboard.

only saw one copy at Astro SM Makati yesterday, when i left, its still there :) priced at 2300, so at 50% off it will be 1150 only  ;D

I was lucky to have chanced upon an Oddysey sale at SM MoA two weeks ago, I got both the unrepriced Indiana Jones box set (P1,500) and the Gladiator 3-disc (P1,750) at 50% off  ;D

Yeah, they are priced now at 2,000 50% off.  So 1,000 still cheaper than regular price but not true 50% off.

Bought Fith Element Superbit for P325 (P650 less 50%) at Asto SM Makati.  :)

Hey dude, does it have any special features included like in the Ultimate Edition?

All SUPERBIT releases have no special features. Because they want to have enough disc space for their supposedly superior hi bitrate recording. 

Although I think the new superbit releases have some SF although I haven't seen one except for the Silverado 2 disc which says it's a "Superbit" recording.

Nope its doesn't have special features.  What i'm after is the superior bit rate recording and the DTS.  The Ultimate edition is also superbit but i don't see it nowadays.

Yesssssssss, I know  ;) But some superbit titles have special features. Just wanted to know if the Ultimate Edition was a repackaging of the Superbit edition because I seem to remember the UE disc itself having the Superbit logo. Could be a typo or something and I just wanted to confirm it.

Even then, that disc 1 alone contained the entire movie along with a trivia track. The disc 2 had the rest of the special features.

Ah, there you go! Thanks  :) My copy of the Ultimate Edition has the entire movie on Disc 1 (with a trivia track) and with a DTS track -- while the rest of the features is on Disc 2. From what I understand, the superbit Fifth Element is spread out on two discs, right?

Hollow Men and The Mask of Zorro Superbit Edition (an old Superbit release) have special features in their second disc.
