As of last night, AstroVision and Video City shops in SM South Mall already have the additional Warner DVD titles with the "P350 Presyong Sulit" and "(orange) Added Selection" stickers such as Superman, Iron Giant, The Right Stuff, The Bodyguard, and some titles priced at P299. Also noticed that they placed gold "Imported DVD" stickers on the upper left portion of the DVD case.

Tower Records, Odyssey and Video City outlets in ATC have yet to display these additional titles. Their sales clerks don't seem to be aware of the additional titles.

Just bought two title na tag 350, Unforgiven and Enter the Dragon. Talaga bang parehong walang inserts yun titles na yun?

None of the 2-disc P350 warner titles I got, boxed or not, have inserts.

Yung THX 1138 Director's Cut I got had a one-page insert...the only one that has an insert sa sale I think.

As far as Warner is concerned, inserts are on the way out worldwide for regular and SE releases except for very specific editions. Even Columbia-Tristar seems to be headed in that direction with their transparent Scanova cases.

Dowals · « **Reply #184 on:** Aug 30, 2005 at 05:24 PM »

are the BATMAN ANIMATED SERIES included?

and ROBIN HOOD Prince of Thieves?

Yup, same cover but the blue borders are a bit wider on all sides. And yes, I'm almost sure there'll be a Superman anthology set next year. Makes good business sense for Warner.

Sir firewired,

Thanks for posting the keepcase cover and specs.
I'll start saving for the Superman anthology...

People at Tower ATC are always clueless. Makes me wonder if they real know what they are selling. Or are they deliberately doing this.

Bought Superman SE, Iron Giant SE and The Bodyguard at Video City Mega.

However, the Superman SE skips with my Xenon player... but it seems to happen in the dvd menu and during the first few minutes of the movie only... but when i tried it on my other player, it works just fine... could this be a problem of the disc?

it could be a number of things... your xenon might just need a professional cleaning. (a friend who owns a player of this brand said his unit started playing discs it refused to play before immediately after he had it cleaned at a local repair shop. they didn't even have to replace any parts.)... or a player incompatibility. (i know. i know ... it sucks, but it happens.

)

Thanks for sharing your insights! Glad to know that I'm not the only one having such an observation.

It seems that if they knew what titles will be on sale, they get reserved right away by frequent patrons or the clerks themselves. That's my experience here at Astro in SM Sucat. A few years back, I had the experience of going there first hour of the mall on the first day of the sale and voila, the titles I wanted have been reserved!!!.

Here's what I got this afternoon:

Iron Giant SE P299
Matchstick Men P299
Payback P299
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Next SE P350
The Right Stuff SE P350

It's very disorganized. One branch marked down some of the above while the other branch didn't.

Got:

Smallville Season 1

I wonder where E.R. Season 3 is. Never saw it released locally. Gusto ko namang buoin ito.

seph1018 · « **Reply #197 on:** Sep 01, 2005 at 11:41 AM »

Couldn't resist temptation. Got Superman SE and Iron Giant SE. Haaaay! Sale, sale, sale...ngayon meron pang Disney/Buena Vista sale. Ubos!

garee · « **Reply #198 on:** Sep 01, 2005 at 02:57 PM »

just got this title

Goodfellas
Enter the Dragon
The Incredibles (Disney)

riverfan · « **Reply #199 on:** Sep 01, 2005 at 09:56 PM »

Advice: If buying Iron Giant SE. Steer clear from Astro Megamall. their copies are priced at 350. when you can buy it for 299 somewhere else.

upinsmoke · « **Reply #200 on:** Sep 03, 2005 at 07:59 PM »

I saw Starsky and Hutch for P299. The features listed on the back seems to be similar to R1.

duncanfranchise · « **Reply #201 on:** Sep 06, 2005 at 03:21 AM »

The price of Iron Giant SE in Astroplus Megamall has been corrected to P299.

duncanfranchise · « **Reply #202 on:** Sep 07, 2005 at 02:39 AM »

Sir firewired, I'm just wondering if there is any assurance or commitment from Warner that they'll still be importing TV box sets in the future even after all the price markdowns. The only reason I'm hesitant to try out new titles such as Without a Trace or Nip/Tuck is the fear that succeeding seasons will not come in regularly after this massive sale. Take the case of E.R. I wouldn't mind collecting all of them but Season 3 is nowhere to be found locally.

monggadi,

Sa AstroPlus sa SM North Edsa, merong Wonder Woman at P999. It's behind the counter, not with the display.

Sorry if this is OT but I can't seem to find the right thread for my question. Sir Firewired, is there any news if Smallville Season 4 is going to be released here? I have all first 3 seasons and hopefully Season 4 will be released locally para medyo makamura. R1 boxed sets can be quite expensive kasi due to shipping costs. Sana ituloy ng Warner ang tradition. Any help regarding my query is much appreciated. Thanks!
