Told myself (and my hubby) I wouldn't buy again 'til the next Podium Sale... hmmm... I guess that would be "I wouldn't buy again 'til the next Podium Sale."   ;D  Kaso, ang Sale, kabi-kabila! Mga two weeks apart lang!!  :o

Anyways, still hung over from the Podium Sale, off we went to AstroPlus SM Makati... got a few DVDs and CDs (even if the CDs weren't on sale).  :D



Got the following DVDs...
  • The Da Vinci Code 2-disc Extended Edition w/ slipcase - 299
  • IQ - 199
  • Wild Hogs - 150
  • Sands of Iwo Jima - 199

and CDs...
  • Jack Johnson Sleep Through The Night
  • Frank Sinatra Songs From The Heart
  • Lisa Ono The Music of Antonio Carlos Jobim "Ipanema"
  • Billie Holiday Portrait


@moviebuff -- Meet the Robinsons is priced at PhP175. ;)

I went to makati last weekend, trying not to pass by astrovision stores so as not to get tempted. hehe. But fortunately, I passed by Music One. I can't believe that they priced the Planet Earth DVD from 1500 to just 600. So I immediately bought it. So much for self control. hehehe.

oh my! nakakapanlambot naman ito.  :-[ i passed by M1 yesterday but didn't bother to look at the DVDs. nasa CD section ako looking for one particular artist. when i didn't find it, alis na kagad kami kasi nga sa Astro Makati ang DVD hunting ko. pero ayun, la rin ako nabili.  :'(

After I bought my copy from Music One, they immediately placed another copy into the bin. And it was again priced at 600.  Since the shrink wrap of the copy that I bought had a tear, I had it replaced.  So maybe it was not really mispriced. (Or maybe the whole batch was mispriced, hehe)

Possibly, but I'm guessing it's the latter, like when "O" kept on mispricing items and many of us here were able to take advantage of the errors due to early alerts - like the Carnivale boxed set, Strangers on a Train, etc. Hopefully some people haven't bought Planet Earth yet and will see this thread so they can get this incredible boxed set at this great price.  :)

I bought The Little Mermaid DVD today for P175. Its my first time to buy a disney animation. Upon viewing I noticed that it is full screen. Ganito ba talaga yung mga Disney animations? or mga R3 versions lang ang ganito?

We've had a discussion on "The Little Mermaid" seeming like fullscreen before. Are you watching on a 4:3 TV? If so, then your DVD player's settings are probably wrong. Here's the discussion, completely illustrated with pictures to show why it appears fullscreen, and how to make it widescreen: http://pinoydvd.com/board/index.php?topic=57915.msg663005#msg663005

Welcome to PinoyDVD.com!

By the way, Stardust still wasn't part of the sale in Astro SM Makati. Hopefully, there'd still be stocks and new title additions when I go back to Greenhills on Wednesday.

went to Astro Makati this evening. called them up to find out if they are still on sale.

bought the following:

The Game Plan Php 275
Kingdom - not on sale
wild hogs - Php 150
Underdog Php 275
Shrek the Third Php 299
 
 
also went to music one makati to see if I could get a copy of Planet Earth but it was not on sale. When I asked the saleslady when they will have it on sale again at P600, she told me that they sold it by mistake at that price. lucky you for being able to buy it at that amount.  ;D

By the way, in case anyone's looking, outside Astro V-Mall, I saw that Stardust already had a "50% Off" sticker.

Got STARDUST yesterday at 50% off.  Thank you Mr Hankey for the heads up.

Got mine around 430 pm.  I saw one with a 50% sticker and paid for it immediately.  Was this a misprice that they later on corrected?

Just got an email from Mr. Jimmy Lim of Astro.

"DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND ASTROVISION VMALL SALE EXTENDED UNTIL MARCH 19"

pakitanong naman kung kelan mag-SALE dito sa south - sa Festival Mall or SM Southmall? or rather - pakisama naman sa SALE these branches... ;) ;)
dumaan ako Vmall last night on the way to another trip, unfortunately maaga pala magsara ang mall at 8pm. ;)

thanks...
