See how confusing it initially is?  :P When it takes a customer more than 10 seconds to figure it out, that's bad marketing right there  ;D

Confusing nga, kailangan mo pang magtanong kung ano talaga ang ibig sabihin sa kanila nung nakalagay sa stickers ;D ;D ;D

Okay, I have ask: Exactly what's confusing about "FREE DVD if you buy DVD of the same or higher price"

I don't see any other way to interpret that statement.  ???

I don't know guys, the statement is as straightforward as it can get. No need to decipher anything. How else can you write it?

Usually it's phrased this way: Buy 1, Take 1 of another (DVD) of the same or lower price.

I guess is what's causing the confusion.

sirs, ngayon na lang hindi confusing kse napagusapan na dito sa forum.

but when you see it first... mapapa-isip ka din.
at first you would think na you can get a FREE DVD of the same price or of a higher price.
syempre hindi puede yun. logically, you can get something of the same price OR of a lower price.

that means yung DVD na may sticker na ganun - it becomes FREE kung bibili ka ng same price or ng higher price. ganun siguro ang talagang gusto nilang ibig sabihin... which ganun naman ang nagyayari na nga.

okay na yung "Buy1 Take1" sticker na nilalagay nila dati... alam na ng buyers yun na... you can get 1 dvd of the same price (or lower price kung gusto mo).

the simple BUY 1 TAKE 1 sticker... would do... people knew already that  you have to pay for the higher cost.

this was actually their intention given that their sticker had emphasis on the "FREE DVD" phrase.. they should have just made it "Get this FREE if you buy DVD of the same or higher price!"

According to an Astro Galleria saleslady, you cannot mix & match Viva & Magnavision titles. Viva titles have their own buy 1 take 1 promo & Magnavision titles a separate buy 1 take 1 promo.

Got CJ7 & Saawariya from the Magna titles.

Actually, that sort of explains the difference in terminologies (Buy One, Take One vs. Free DVD with Every Purchase of...) that some of you find confusing. Can you imagine a sales rep trying to explain to customers who don't read PinoyDVD the different companies/policies if they all had similar stickers?

"Bakit hindi puwede, pareho naman may 'Buy One, Take One' sticker itong dalawa. Dinadaya niyo kami!"  ;D

I agree. Papaano nga naman kung napadaan ka lang at nakita mo yung Buy 1 Take 1 promo nila nung nandun ka na sa counter they would tell that Magna is for Magna and Viva is Viva lang. Eh nakuha mo 1 Magna and 1 Viva. WTF!?! Syempre disappointed ang customer nun.  Imbes na bumili baka umalis na lang yun. At least we have the luxury of discussing this matter here which helps us know how their promo goes. Hopefully next time baguhin nila yung mga stickers na nilalagay nila.

for one the sticker on the viva titles are different from the magna titles. two they are on separate shelving. viva grouped into one and magna grouped into another.

"free DVD (pertaining to the DVD where this sticker is on.) if you buy DVD of the same or higher price". i think it is also common sense that they will not give away a free dvd with a higher price point when you buy a lower priced dvd.

just my 2 cents.

Kung nasa loob ng store yung dvd na may sticker it would still be very confusing even though they have separate shelves if you're not really that observant. I agree that is really common sense that you need to pay the higher priced dvd and get the lowered one for free. Lugi naman sila siguro kung kukuha ka ng worth P175 tapos yung free mo worth P500+ or boxset.  :D ;D Anyway I'll drop by at SM MOA later to take advantage of this promo and see if it's really that confusing.  ;)

Got Lions for Lambs and Daywatcher for P550.00 at SM Davao.. Part ng Viva Sale.. Dito naman DVDs of the same price are taped together and sold as Buy 1 take 1.  Unfortunately, konti lang included sa sale.  I have to request the saleslady to exchange one DVD from another package for another DVD from another package but with the same price.  Hitman unfortunately is not included in the sale.   >:( >:( >:(

As stated,I don't find viva's wordings of the sale confusing, but if it did, and a customer asked a customer rep about it, then it would also served it purpose, as it gives the customer rep an opportunity to explain (and push) the sale to the customer.

BTW, Magnavision did repriced up a few of the items (from 299 - usually 199 on sale) to 375.  So on those titles, the discount is really minimal.
Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God.

Am I correct that I can buy "any" magna/viva DVD in the store and get one of those with the "Free DVD" sticker for free?

I got Unbreakable and AVP from the Buy 1 Take 1 promo. I also didn't find Viva's sticker confusing compare with Magna. Masyado kasi mahaba yung sa Magna and you need to analyze first what the message wants to convey.  ;D What I really found confusing is the Viva-Viva and Magna-Magna titles lalo na kung hindi ka aware. Magkakamali ka talaga kahit may sticker sya at pagdating mo sa counter you might end up paying for both items since 1 is Viva and 1 is Magna.

Btw there are some good titles not included in the Buy 1 Take 1 promo which is priced P150 - P175. I got Zodiac for only P150.  ;D

Rules:
Only dvd's with  Buy 1 Take 1 sticker are included in the promo
Viva-Viva or Magna-Magna titles only
Pay the higher priced dvd if you got two titles of different price

They have a better promo in Astro MOA.
Most Viva DVD's are 50% off so you don't have to buy two. Also there are a few items that are more than 50% off.
The ones i got were:

National Treasure 2 (2-disc) P275 (down from P750!)
Aliens vs Predator 2 (2disc with slipcase) P275 (down from P750!)
Gone Baby Gone P199 (down from P550)
