Was at the Astro Glorietta around 1. The p299 sticker guy was applying the tags on the sale DVDs. As soon as he was done with the Incredibles, guys-looking-like-bank-people snapped 'em up. Good investment.  ;)

Bought...

The Incredibles (last one on display)
Finding Nemo (around 5 copies pa yata)
Monsters Inc. (3 more copies)

Lahat sa Astro Podium.  Yun The Incredibles eventhough yun last na naka display ang nakuha ko,  sawsa counters na may mga tinatag pang mga bagong copies.  Region 3 though.

Been to Astro Mega also.  Saw 1 copy of Aladdin & 1 copy of Brother Bear.  Both Region 3.  But magulo pa sila.  Di pa na tag ng 299 yung mga titles including The Incredibles (R3)

At last I found Nemo at Astro Glorietta (last copy on display), and hurriedly purchased it at P299. It seems news really travels fast. Ubos na daw ang Incredibles R3 at both Astro and Tower at Glorietta. Dami pang stocks in Music 1 GB3, but as of this afternoon, P900 pa ang price and still no stickers. Looks like there will be a mad scramble for these Pixar DVDs so better grab one as soon as you see one.

By the way, those into Tagalog Viva DVDs, they are now only P150. It seems DVD prices are really going down to approximate VCDs. Imagine, I saw Phantom of the Opera VCD at P250 (released by C-interactive pa), and dagdagan na lang ng P49 may 2-disc Disney DVD ka na!

Got Nemo, Incredibles and Pearl Harbor.
All two-disk and R3. Last 2 copies nalang daw yung Pearl Harbor sa Podium kaya nakuha ko na din...isa nalang natira...wala na daw darating. By this time nakuha na siguro yun... 11:00 nandun na ko eh. Although ang pakay ko mga R1 ng Nemo at Incredibles...mukhang malabo kaya tiyaga nalang.

Looks like there will be a mad scramble for these Pixar DVDs so better grab one as soon as you see one.

   When I was at Glorietta around past 3 this afternoon, there were 5 copies of Finding Nemo left and I bought 2. I'm afraid, I'm the one who bought the last single copies of The Incredibles at the Astro Glorietta and Tower Records. I asked the clerks at both stores and they told me that they only have 1 copy remaining. Sinunggaban ko na parehas kasi baka may dumampot pa eh pabili sa akin iyong Nemo and Incredibles. Magrerestock pa naman yata sila kasi month-long sale naman ito.

  Music One Greenbelt has plenty of stocks of The Incredibles since hindi pa sila sale doon. Sabi ko nga sa kanila sale na Disney titles sa Astro and Tower Records. Baka nahuli lang sila so those who are on the hunt may want to stay close to Music One Greenbelt. I was also able to buy Freaky Friday R1(last stock din) from Astro Glorietta but no Pearl Habor na.

  Thanks again to Sir Firewired for keeping us up-to-date on the latest sales. You're a very big help to us bargain-hunters! :)

I noticed that Finding Nemo and Pirates of the Caribbean are on the list, but I have been looking for these titles ever since, and I couldn't really find them even at regular price. Will they replenish their stocks?


I too am looking for Pirates. Has anyone seen it around?

Finding Nemo R3 doesn't have the fullscreen version on Disc 2. That's the only difference I remember.

Has anybody actually seen a copy of The Incredibles R1? That version was hyped by Viva during the pre-release period but I never saw it in stores.

 Am really looking for The Incredibles R1 but I don't think I saw one since it was released locally. Kahit doon sa lalaking Astro Glorietta clerk na tinanong ko eh hindi pa raw siya nakakita ng R1 copy kahit noon. That's why I immediately grabbed the last R3 copy kasi baka may dumampot pa. I've been waiting for this and Finding Nemo to become affordable. I kept hoping during the past DVD sales but got disappointed time and again. This is really a dream come true. I hope they have more copies of these titles para doon sa iba pang naghahanap. Music One Greenbelt have plenty of copies. Hintayin na lang isale which they should yata. Hopefully, marami pang makakuha.

Good thing I decided to visit M1 GB3 last night... They've already finished tagging them with the P299 stickers, suprising though that the girl at the counter wasn't aware that "The Incredibles" were on sale... :o

Kamusta selections sa M1 GB3?  I've been to Podium, Mega & Galleria.  So far kung ano meron yung isa, meron din sa iba.

What i'm looking for are...

Aladdin SE
Lion King SE
Brother Bear R1
Beauty & the Beast SE
Pirates of the Carribean

alright. thanks firewired. this is a good education for all buyers. Finding Nemo HK R3 Release has DTS-ES but like the Philippine Release does not contain any full screen edition. was this reapplied to the Philippine release?

havent seen The Incredibles R1 in local stores. but got both R3 Taiwan (with slip case) and R1 US. might also get the local copies for the "good prices" cause as we all know these titles are prone to discs scratches arising from high levels of repeat viewing.

You have both the R1 and the R3 Taiwan of The Incredibles, and will also be getting the local R3? Now that's a real die-hard Incredibles fan (and Disney studios probably wishes all DVD collectors were like you)! ;)

The P299 King Arthur I saw was the original theatre version.  Does anyone know if the director's cut made it to R3?

After going through all the malls in the south, finally got Peal Harbor in O Libis.  Apparently the store was not aware yet of the promo so a fellow pinoydvd member (Joseph, if im not mistaken, who also got Brother Bear) and myself had to convince them that  these were included.  Btw Joseph, after some more phone calls, they also gave me The Incredibles for 299  ;D

So far I have bought these since yesterday:

Armageddon (2 Disc)                         
ConAir
Enemy of the State
Face Off
Gone in 60 Seconds
The Incredibles R3 (2 disc)
Monsters, Inc (2 disc)
Pearl Harbor (2 disc)
Sixth Sense (2 disc)
The Rock
Starship Troopers
Coyote Ugly
Ransom
Freaky Friday R1
King Arthur
Brother Bear R1 (2 Disc)
