(returning you to your regular programming)

I passed by Astroplus Podium looking for Constantine, and I noticed they have a large display rack where most of the Warner 2-disc titles with slipcases are on sale for Php 350. Titles on sale include GoodFellas, Enter the Dragon, The Philadelphia Story, Wyatt Earp, My Fair Lady, THX 1138, The Shining, Rose Red, etc. On the same display shelf, a lot of the Warner single disc titles are also on sale at Php 299 per title.

Ingat lang kayo, the display shelf is rather poorly constructed - if you bump into it, you'll cause A LOT of the DVDs to fall!

Plus the leftmost shelves on the store have many of the Magnavision titles at 375 (single disc) and 650 (double disc).

Is this a sale, or have they dropped the prices for all these titles permanently already?

Just bought mine today. No slipcase and insert but still a lot better packaged than most DVDs today. By the way, may P350 sale sa Astro Glorietta ng ff: Warner titles na puro 2-discs

The Unforgiven
The Lost Boys
Purple Rain
Around the World in 80 Days
Wyatt Earp
Enter the Dragon
Once Upon a Time in America
Goodfellas
The Shining

All of these are 2-discs and the sale is good for 6 months daw acording to the Warner lady. I got myself the Lost Boys 2-discs together with Constantine.

It maybe a Warner Sale. Astro Glorietta has this as noted by another pinoydvd member.

375 (single disc) and 650 (double disc) are regular prices of old releases of magna

It's a sale-- but it'll be around for some time. Warner's trying to drive up interest in their SE titles. At those prices, who wouldn't be interested?

aszamora · « **Reply #4 on:** Jun 14, 2005 at 06:52 PM »

The P350 price tag is definitely hard to resist, especially since most of them have slipcases. The greater news is that the P350 price tag will last for several months so there's no real urgency. Sayang nga lang at hindi pa nasama iyong ibang 2-disc like Harry Potter which remains at P475 at hanggang bukas din lang ang sale. OK din iyong mga P299 single-disc titles like Eyes Wide Shut, Perfect Storm and Superman II.

Iwas muna ako...maraming pagkakagastusan...saka na ko bibili pag P200 nalang bawat isa (kelan p?) I'm sure there will be a special, ultimate, superduper edition will come. Nakakahinayang kc pag nag sale sila tapos biglang magrelease sila ng ganito with dts nang kasama...mas maganda pa cover. Pagbili man ng mas mura yung hawak ko malabong may bibili lalu na yung mga kinakareer ang pinoydvd, updated lagi sa mga prices. At least na-enjoy natin ang buhay sa panonood ng mga favorite movies in dvd format, original pa. Ewan ko ba...basta saka nlang $:-\$

After checking out Astro Robinson's Ermita Warner sale today, I also went to Odyssey and some of their DVDs like Jurassic Park, and MIIB 2 disc were on sale for P299 each. I didn't get the chance to see the rest of the titles but there were some more DVDs on displays.

I-Sale kaya ang "Pirates of the Caribbean"?

From where this title available? Astro and other Store did not carry this title anymore...they said it's out of stock. I think this is a Walt Disney Movie and not from Warner.

never knew warner carried rebel without a cause 1-disc locally. is this new?

I was pleasantly surprised they have the warner sale at video city last night and promptly got Goodfellas, and THX 1138 .

According to a video city sales guy, their warner sale will last 6 mos. But i'll be returning soon to get some other titles. These 2-disc sets are great values for the price. I was just curious why the Astovision branch here in SM sucat still isn't on sale on their warner titles.

Finally got the Enter the Dragon se from Landmark ! Thanks to this thread.

THX 1138 is a well reviwed film, possibly the best Lucas has made apart from the first Star Wars and American Graffiti.

pat,

mukhang amaray in slipcase only, im not that sure though, having second thoughts getting it because stereo surround lang, no 5.1

firewired · « **Reply #20 on:** Jun 17, 2005 at 04:48 PM »

Depends if the store you're buying from still has old stocks of SE releases like Unforgiven and Once Upon a Time in America. New shipments of these titles are already in slipcases.

I have to confess I'm a sucker for bargains.

I just bought one on the strength of good reviews on the net and its bargain price. I have yet to watch it. I'll let you know once I do.
