actually, they're all over now. just that this one store might have better title selection than the other. this P100/125/150/175/199 titles are a common staple at video shops now. this might be a buildup to more "bagsak-presyo" sales for the holiday season. brace yourself for the onslaught.  :D ipon-ipon na... or baka yung buong 13th month eh naka-allot na for dvd hoarding.  ;D

I bought "The Signs" P100.00 in Odyssey SM San Lazaro, Manila. Yung "Green Card" P75.00 naman sa Video City SM San Lazaro din. I was there last Saturday Nov.3 and nasa labas ng mga stores yung mga titles na naka sale. I'm not sure though kung weekend sale lang 'yon. Common na kasi sa mga Video Stores ngayon yung puro weekend bagsak presyo sale eh.

Marami pang ibang titles na P100.00 di ko lang maalala kung anu-ano. Piliin mo lang yung mga Disney/Buena Vista titles para DVD9 and WS makuha mo. That is kung available pa sila sa ganoong "sale" prices.

Been to Astro The Block tonight. Yung prices nung Disney titles nila went back to P299-P350-P550. Iilan lang ang P199. I'm not sure kung sa Astro lang ito o pati sa ibang Video Stores.

Don't fret about it. The film's soundtrack was recorded in mono, except for the musical score. It was Steven Soderbergh's creative decision.

So many VIVA releases have very limited back cover info about the disc so its a "caveat emptor." i dont feel picking one if no review is made here. So may we request holders of VIVA discs to post your review please. ;)

I've said it before, I'll say it again:

If there is NO FOX or DISNEY/BUENA VISTA logo on the VIVA DVD, then 99% of the time it will be a fullscreen DVD of poor quality.

Just look for the Fox/Disney logos, those are the imported products with the same disc contents as seen thoughout the region.

you really have to go the rounds of these stores to get the best titles for the best price. even in astro themselves, meron sale sa isang store pero regular price naman sa kabila. so my sweet spot now is P199. if it's P250 or higher, i hold off muna until i see them in other stores to confirm pricing, esp. if di naman ganun ka-rare yung title. stores i go the rounds of include astro podium, astro virra mall, astro metro east and odyssey metro east. yung mga stalls, as mentioned by reynold can have some hidden treasures too.

You are absolutely right Gearhead, kailangan lang talaga tyaga sa paghahanap  ;)



@Quitacet,

I'm also in search of this title (Lion King), I wonder if they are still in production nowadays ::)

Sana may makita tayo ;)

I was able to snatch one of the few remaining copies of the R3 Lion King during the Viva Sale a year ago at SM Pampanga when I attended a seminar in the province. My post was actually for members like you who I know have been looking for this title. But if this would surface again, I won't mind getting a second copy. ;D

Oh, there are a few Viva dvd releases which contain typo errors at the back cover label- Solaris says "Doldy Digital".. The Narnia 2 disc edition also has a typo error which I can't recall.  Fortunately, quality for both dvds are pristine.

Aside from Astro Sucat, anyone noticed the Jungle Book for 299? I called Astro Podium and O Music and this title is not on their sale list.

Anybody got the number of SM Sucat Astro?  ;) TIA

Hi,

I recently saw Cast Away R3 selling for P199. Is this copy any good (in terms of picture quality and audio quality)?
Has anyone purchased this? I need feedback. Thanks!
