Good evening PinoyDVD!

Just came from there this evening.  Got some good titles Blood Diamond, Departed, Casino Royale and The Perfect Storm.  Hope there is nothing wrong with them ::)  And yes, tomorrow is the last day!

Cheers

Is this the budget edition of Casino Royale ( 1 disc ) or the imported 2 disc edition?

I returned my Interview with the Vampire dvd which I bought sometime last year exactly for the same reason.  Low quality video. Too grainy and "maulan".   I reasoned out with the manager that I already have a VCD of Interview and I wanted an upgrade but didn't get it with this dvd.  So single layer din pala ha?  Back then, I still didn't know what single and dual meant.  Anyway, after a lengthy discussion, the manager gave in to my request and had it replaced with Lethal Weapon dvd. 

The better Interview version is the Special Edition ( with some features ) and DTS sound.  Picture is much better( so they say ).  I am still looking for that version.


yeah grainy picture, i noticed that with my copy too..

i just revisited my receipt for this SALE (kuno). i noticed that the sticker prices doesn't represent the true sale price pa pala kundi net price only. also, the total net price of my item is P4,251.28 while the payable amount reflected is P4,831.00, making the value added tax almost 14%.

this make items, say, for sale @P150 actually be P168... and P199 = P223... and P375 = P420 and on and on. the thing is, i also looked at receipts from other astro branches (and one from SM North too), and the sticker price is what you pay for. these make P199 items supposedly marked down to P175 be almost still the same price as without the sale.

is there anybody here that can corroborate this? i'm just sore that i missed my P1,000 GC and now i'm being charged P580.00 more.  >:(  can i say..... RIP-OFF, or just an honest mistake????   :-\

what price is indicated in the invoice? did you pay cash or card? in my case, there were no added charges like VAT. 199 is 199, 299 is 299, etc.

does EPS qualify as card? i always thought it's almost good as cash. also, say if there's a card charge, isn't 14% a bit too much?

Yup, same experience as hubes -- the sale prices were inclusive of VAT. Doesn't matter if it's EPS or a credit card. In fact it's illegal to make a distinction and penalize the customer for choosing one payment method over another. Your complaint is valid and I suspect it may be just a glitch in the system. Astro is pretty accommodating when it comes to issues like this so I suggest getting in touch with them soon.
