The VIVA DVDs were sold last week at P150.OO and P250.00 at the SM MAKATI Dept. Store. And I heard from some insiders that they would be selling these 299 titles at between 150 to 250 pesos per again soon. As to the Magna titles, it is really annoying and mind boggling on how they find ways to confuse their customers. From 333pesos(as a sale price for their original prices), they now have 299, 250, 199, 150 pesos titles. It was so confusing that I saw somebody arguing with the people in Astro the other night regarding the 895 pesos Dvds. This girl got around 50 titles and when she was about to pay, the computer yielded different discounted prices for the dvds. I tried to take a look and it was mostly Columbia, Sony and Universal dvds. Another thing about their Universal dvds, they put a sticker saying its an imported dvd but what is really inside is a local repoductiion as what the magna supervisor told some guy who was asking how come there are no special features in these Universal dvds! Unlike the Warner titles which are mostly made in Taiwan. Now, if one likes classic movies, you can find many classic titles in the Warner library which are real imported dvds. I bought around 14 of these dvds which were priced between 175 - 299 pesos which proved to be of more value than the Magna titles. I think it's time that Columbia or Sony Pictures take over from Magna to protect their movies. Sometimes, the way Magna packs their Dreamworks, Universal titles makes one want to buy the pirated dvds instead! By the way, saw the Spiderman 2 Boxset and Da Vinci Code Box set, these were selling for less than half (Spiderman 2) and less 700pesos (Da Vinci Code). Did anyone notice that the people outside the store were selling the puzzle (which came free with offer before for Da Vinci Code) for 300 pesos!!!
