Just got a call from Jimmy Lim -- they're pushing through with the VMall branch super sale this weekend, 26 October to 28 October. This year, the Astro chain is celebrating its 25th anniversary, and it all started in Greenhills. Aside from the usual price-offs and rock bottom discounts, they'll also be giving out a limited number of Jollibee GCs if your purchase hits Php500.

No other details for now but we'll keep you posted. See you there!

Bros, what's the phone number of this branch. I'm in the hunt for some Clancy titles.

Thanks.

RXV · « **Reply #11 on:** Oct 25, 2007 at 02:57 PM »

Any more details on this? Bukas na kasi yung event e.

firewired · « **Reply #12 on:** Oct 25, 2007 at 04:26 PM »

As per Jimmy Lim, it'll be similar to the last Astro Podium warehouse sale. Hopefully newer titles will be included.

DVD_Freak · « **Reply #13 on:** Oct 25, 2007 at 06:40 PM »

got a lot already from the last podium sale. hopefully newer titles are added.

Gideon · « **Reply #14 on:** Oct 26, 2007 at 04:49 AM »

Pwede akong pumunta bukas dito.

El Zar · « **Reply #15 on:** Oct 26, 2007 at 11:01 AM »

What was the Astro Podium warehouse sale like? Wonder if the items will be marked down even more compared to the ongoing sale(s)... DVDS at P100, P199...

Mr. Hankey · « **Reply #16 on:** Oct 26, 2007 at 12:51 PM »

Warnings/Notes:

1. No NEW sale items, the scheme is more or less the same as last weekend's sale for Viva titles, the Warner 199s are down to 175, etc. Not a very impressive selection.

2. If you're thinking about going later this pm, I'd reconsider, since tonight is the big undergrads/alumni La Salle UAAP celebration at La Salle Greenhills, so I'd expect heavy traffic. La Salle has a permit that allows one-lane parking along both sides of Ortigas Avenue later this afternoon.

3. Free 100 peso Jollibee gift certificate for every 500 peso purchase (Valid until October 31 only).

i was there one time (not sale season though) but wasn't able to buy anything. very limited selection even compared to astro metro east. baka mas varied pa ang selection sa astro podium, ah.

don't let this deter you though. baka naman maraming hakutin titles dun later today or tomorrow. mr. hankey, wala ba yung boxes and boxes of dvd's katulad nung last astro podium sale?

3. Free 100 peso Jollibee gift ceritificate for every 500 peso purchase (Valid until October 31 only).

wow... at P1,000 (mga 4 titles din yun sa 2-for-500, or abt 6 titles sa P175ea.), meron ka na libre lunch or miryenda.

nothing spectacular about this sale except for the fact that you get a P100 gift certificate / P500 purchase, which is why i chose to get my Transformers 2-disc steelbook today. i even met a fellow PinoyDVD member. - nice meeting you sir alfie, hope you enjoy your transforming case.

El Zar · « **Reply #19 on:** Oct 26, 2007 at 02:51 PM »

Thanks for the heads up Mr. Hankey! Now we know what to expect.

Good to have met you RanRan, I went there specifically for the Spiderman Trilogy, which sadly, they didn't put on sale.
I was able to buy the Transforming case even without any reservation, and it seems that they have a lot in stocks. Probably the halt the reservation step was a gimmick, enough to lure people like me to buy it immediately,thinking that it's a "privilege" to own one.

So Astrovision Virra mall is the place to go to get the Transforming case, if you do not have any reservation.

I espied 2 carton boxes of the transforming case being unloaded.

The sale was not really that exciting.. :'(

Hey guys,

One of the R3 dvds that I bought at Astro V-Mall keeps on skipping.

Question: Is it possible to have it changed through another branch? Or dapat ba sa V-Mall branch din?

gearhead · « **Reply #23 on:** Oct 26, 2007 at 06:05 PM »

magkano po yung Transformers 2-disc set?

As a general rule, it's where transaction was made. Just bring receipt and they will gladly replace that.

Nothing really great about the sale. Most of the boxsets are on original prices, others you can also buy at P199 or P299 in other branches. Nonetheless, I bought several titles just so I can also avail of the jollibee gc which if you compute is additional discount for the titles you will buy..Got myself a total of P500gc:

Transformers (transforming package) - P1,750
Blood Diamond - P299
Happy feet - P299
Rocky Balboa - P199
Punch love Drunk - P299

Not bad for an attractive marketing strategy.

I asked my bestfriend rdyent to get me Mission Impossible 3 2-disc edition at 50% off, to my surprise, when i opened it, no discs inside. Hassle ito, kasi kailangan pang bumalik tomorrow to have it replaced. :'(

Grabe walang disc? Nakakainis naman yan. That's why I always check the discs right after buying them. You'll never know..

Yikes I forgot pa to ask for my Jollibee certificates
