I rushed to Astro SM Makati with the intent to buy these new Magna releases at 50% off their regular prices. How disappointed I was to find these titles at regular prices. The Warner sale was also disappointing. Not much stocks. I'm just going to get them at Astro Greenhills tomorrow.
Anyway, I didn't go empty-handed. I got the following:
Predator (2-Disc Special Edition DTS) Php 175
Joshua Php 275
The Game Plan Php 275
Underdog Php 275
Waitress Php 275
Shrek the Third Php 299
Round 2: Vira Mall (outside of Astro)
Legends of the Fall (Special Edition) Php 199Perfect Stranger (Special Edition) Php 199Sense and Sensibility (Special Edition) Php 199Ocean's Thirteen Php 275The Invasion Php 27530 Days of Night Php 347.50Spider-Man 3 (2-Disc Special Edition) Php 550Across the Universe (Collector's Edition) Php 750I was convincing the sales ladies to include the Magnas that got released yesterday to the 50%-off sale like the other titles that were released just this week, but they wouldn't budge. These are
The Kingdom,
Atonement and
Elizabeth - The Golden Age, still priced at
Php 695 each. Warner didn't have much stocks so their sale still sucks for me. Viva had plenty, but not as much as in the last Podium sale.
I also passed by Astro SM Makati, and they lowered the prices of the new Magna releases to match the sale price of the Vira Mall sale. Interestingly, Astro Vira Mall itself didn't include the new Magnas in the sale. They can only be bought at discounted prices in the sale outside the Astro store.
Stardust, by the way, isn't discounted in both sales. There were no stocks in Vira Mall, but they said stocks will be coming this afternoon, but they won't be discounted.
