Astrovision SM Makati is holding a pre-Christmas Sale this weekend, September 16 to September 18. Current sales items will receive additional discounts. New titles will join the sale list. For Makati-based PinoyDVD members, Astro says this is is the perfect opportunity to do some early Holiday shopping.

Where to find Nemo? P. Sherman 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney... He-he. Seriously, mahirap talaga hanapin Finding Nemo DVD. I grabbed the only copy I saw in Astro Glorietta 2 weeks ago. Occasionally, nagre-restock sila. But according to the other thread, marami daw sa Astro Podium. I know it's out of your way if you're in Makati, but then, Marlin wouldn't have found Nemo had he not searched the ocean.

As for the sale tom, I wonder what it meant when "DVDs on sale will have additional discounts". Does it mean Disney DVDs will go lower than P299?

Most probably.  But don't expect the sale in the same magnitude as the viva sale were you get titles for 299.  As with other usual sale, probably 10% off on regular priced items.

What I want to know is if those viva titles selling for 299 would be further reduced by 10%.

I hope so.   :o

 ;D

You guys were trying very hard of Finding Nemo. Have you rechecked Video City Megamall? Astroplus Podium? Those 2 has the most copies I saw. When I bought mine last week, I still saw more than 10 copies at Video City and more than 15 copies at Astro-Podium.

guys! check out SM Makati Astro outlet! bought 2 discs HP 1,2,3 at 425 and Spiderman 2 SE 2 disc at 475! And they've got good deals now... 3 dvds for 999.... good for 3 days...  8)
Title: Re: Astrovision SM Makati starts Christmas early
Post by: dlb on Sep 16, 2005 at 03:02 PM
good news and bad news.  bad news for us early buyers of the 299 sale, kasi 250 na lang lahat pati incredibles r1 250 na rin....even flight of the phoenix na di kasama and 900 dati 250 na rin.  medyo limited ang stocks lang ng other dvds.

good news is that they have a 3 for 999 sale.  although the 2 disc 895 dvds are priced at 475 (terminator, bad boys 2, etc.).  superbit is now only 450 pero 2 titles lang ang available, anaconda and one other title i forgot.

there are still some other dvds not included in the sale, like robots (750) pa rin.  anyway i ended up buying nothing kasi wala yung mga gusto ko.  but overall, i can say that the sale is better than i expected...
Title: Re: Astrovision SM Makati starts Christmas early
Post by: jeckjeck on Sep 16, 2005 at 03:07 PM
just came from Astro... gastos na naman! got the following:

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events - P333 (orig P895)
Kung Fu Hustle - P333 (895)
Arlington Road - P333 (999)
Spanglish - P333 (895)
40 Days and 40 Nights - P333 (375)
Bad Boys II - P475 (999)
Flight of the Phoenix dts - P250 (900)


Maraming titles na bago but double check nyo sa counter... Also if there are titles that are not on the display shelves, ask the sales people because marami pa silang stock sa stockroom  ;D

I had to control myself  because ang dami ko pang gustong bilihin sana like Spiderman 2, The Terminal, etc...  :P

Naku patay na naman.  Just paid for my credit card today when I purchased the
Fox titles.  Then I bought the Disney titles.  Then sale na naman.  Hahahaha!  But a nice problem to have.  I don't wana pass this one baka magsisi.

Are the Matrix Reloaded & Revolutions included sa sale?

Time to buy Spiderman 2, Tarzan 2-Disc and Bad Boys 2.  Yun Forrest Gump ba kasama rin sa 3 for 999?

Yun mga Fox titles that were not included sa sale before kasama na ba like AVP?

Naku! misrepresntation yan.  It's not true.  Pareho lang sound quality.  So don't feel bad.  THX certification lang ang difference.  I have both R1 & 3 kasi.  Kaya natest ko na.

Re-posting from another thread:

The R3 uses the same THX certified English 5.1 track and video transfer that's on the R1. Either Disney didn't want to pay the extra fee for having the logo and Optimizer app in the R3 release or the set wasn't eligible by default because the Asian language dubs were not submitted to THX for evaluation.

Too bad that I can't go to Makati today or tomorrow.  I guess I'll just have to wait and see if other Astro branches will be having their own pre-Christmas sales soon.  Hopefully, by that time, the 2-disc Spiderman 2 will still be available.  Tagal ko na kasing hinahanap -- laging out of stock.

Baka naman may mga mababait na taga-Diliman dito na pupunta bukas sa Astro Makati at makakita kayo ng 2-disc Spiderman 2, baka puwede magpabili.  Salamat in advance!   ;)

Better go there when they open.  In my experience, by lunchtime, nagkakaubusan.  They don't restock anymore by lunchtime.  Went there yesterday around 12:30pm, got the last copy of Bad Boys 2 & Spderman 2.  Naubusan na ng Forrest Gump and kakakuha lang daw ng Tarzan 2 disc mga an hour earlier.

Taka lang ako about the Tarzan & Bambi.  Limited stocks lang ba mga ito kahit na medyo current release naman.  The Incredibles nga lumang title but ang daming stock.

What's the deal with Flight of the Phoenix?  Everybody here seems to be buying it.  Even when they're at P350, I see every day people buying it too.  Is the movie really all that great, or is this just a pinoy thing?  Rottentomatoes gave it only 29%, cream of the crop gave it 20%, and it only made $20.9 million at the box office.

Though some people buy it because they probably love the movie.  More often than not since it's being a new release selling at 250, di buy it na.

  Thanks! I went there this afternoon and saw the title. Another wish granted. Kakaiba itong sale na to. There's always some new titles for sale each day. Bigla na lang may sumusulpot. I'm glad I visited then everyday for the duration of the sale. Sayang nga lang at hndi pa rin umabot sa Tarzan 2-disc. Oh well, abangan na lang sa Podium sale in October.

 ;D I got yesterday the 2-disc version of Kung Fu Hustle   and Spiderman 2, each at P475..I met and chatted with Firewired and DVDiva with son and Mongaddi.

And a pleasant surprise while testing Kung Fu Hustle. While the back cover says it's DD5.1 only, disc1 has a Cantonese DTS track in it. I said "Okay ah!" just when I was about to order the 2-disc HK version online..

Sayang nga lang I missed the 2-disc versions of Tarzan and Bambi at P250.

Great Sale.  This should be their pricing and not only once in a long while.  Someone opined that a SALE is an opportunity to afford things perviously OVERPRICED.  There must be a lot of truth to that.   ;D

fyi, SPR CE R1 has DTS track when you buy the WW2 boxset.  the SPR CE - R1 individual DVD set doesn't have DTS track though.

Just to let everybody know, the Kung Fu Hustle DVD now has 3 versions!
The cheapest is at P299.00, the midpriced one is at P895 and the 2 DVD set at P999.00.
Nakakahilo talaga ang Magnavision, coz the P299 and P895 dvds have the same features,
(as far as I can surmise from the back covers of both dvds).  The one that really stands out
is the 2 dvds set. Magnavision should stop producing the P299 version of their titles. 
Nahihilo na ang mga customers nila.  And it's creating a big headache for the stores selling
their dvds.  Imagine the trouble they have doing the inventory of the titles.
Just like what happend in the Astro SM Makati sale, nagkamalimali ang sale price ng
Kung Fu Hustle DVD, kasi nga 3 versions ang binebenta nila.  And if you compare the P299 version
to the regular priced dvds (esp. when it is put on sale), di sulit!

  Sir, I think that's a problem with the R1 copy. My copy have occasional minor pauses too. It was also addressed in the DVDTown review. Here is the link:

  http://www.dvdtown.com/review/freakyfriday/11532/1880/

  It could also be player related. I don't know though if the R3 version has the same problem. My player has problems with MGM R3s but not with MGM R1s.

I think I screwed up bigtime.  I bought Harry Potter 1, 2, and 3 during this sale.  I just realized right now that the part 1 I got is in fullscreen!  The second and third one is widescreen, so those two are ok.  I'm now stuck with this one and have to rebuy this title.

Is there a widescreen version of HP 1?  Do you guys think Astro will allow me to exchange this for the widescreen version?
