Whoa, Kite Runner already included in the sale, so it's like I paid 50% more for a two week viewing window...

Still, the titles posted look tempting with some titles that are not released before locally... Charlie Wilson War, Monk, Bionic Woman, I don't think I seen those before locally, they are going straight to sale?

Wow ha! Margot At The Wedding and Charlie Wilson's War weren't even shown here and haven't yet been released in DVD. I do hope they go on sale agad.

Other than those two, I hope to get The Bourne Ultimatum (2-Disc, Imported), The Kite Runner, The Taxi Driver (2-Disc) (sana meron nga!) and Into The Wild.

Thanks for the heads up!  :)

Yup yung Astrovision nasa lapit ng Mcdo sa may lapit movie house, pero I think yung sale will be done dun sa baba just like what they did with the Warner Anniversary Sale.

Yes I believe it will be an OFF-SITE sale just like the Viva Sale in Robinson's Galle where they had it at the basement near the food court.

If it's off site, then there's little chance this sale will extend to Monday.  So those planning to do so on Monday should reconsider...

Update:  Ooops, my mistake. Four day sale pala ito...not three days as in most sale, so Monday meron pa. unless inubos namin ang mga good titles. :)

Only one Astro in Trinoma. The one that you mentioned. There are 3 DVD stores there in all: Astro, Odyssey (second floor in the MRT connection wing) and The Landmark Record Bar.

Post by: allanmandy on Aug 15, 2008 at 01:40 PM
My loot:

Php 299
Charlie Wilson's War (Slipcased)
Taxi Driver (2-Disc Collector's Edition, Slipcased)
Scarface (2-Disc Anniversary Edition, Slipcased)
No Country For Old Men

Php 375
The Bourne Ultimatum (Ultimate 2-Disc Edition, Imported Slipcased)


Quite slim. I got a free umbrella though (for purchases of Php 1,500 and above; a "limited edition" watch for purchases of Php 2,000 and above).

Saw the following new titles, but decided not to get them because they're the local versions. Will wait for the imported variants to go on sale:

Php 299
Prom Night (Unrated)
The Kite Runner
Vantage Point
Margot At The Wedding --> not sure if there's an imported version

* If you're only looking for a Php 750 The Blue Planet boxset, then you're gonna waste your time if you go here. It's Php 999 in this sale.
* Jaws (2-Disc 30th Anniversary Edition, Digipak) is Php 299 in this sale.

A nice sale overall. Just a bit disappointed because of the noticeable absence of imported variants of many titles. It seems each Magna sale gets more and more saturated with budget or local variants. It's almost confusing for picky collectors like me if an imported version exists for their titles (especially for Universal Studios titles). But for those who are not to picky, this is a great sale to go to. It has lots of titles and stocks.

No, I was referring to The Blue Planet. Planet Earth has a sticker that says Php 750. The Blue Planet still says Php 1500 so I asked them if it's the sale price, and they told me it was Php 999.

Not sure.  I assume it is, since they have a big 50% off poster near those boxset.  But I could be wrong.  Modified my post...

Was there before 11 this morning and was able to buy the following:

Across the Universe (2 disc) - P275
Transformers (2 disc) - P375
Spider-man 3 (2 disc) - P275
The Bourne Ultimatum (2 disc) - P375
What A Wonderful Life (P175)

Have been waiting for the first four DVDs to go on sale, and finally, was able to get them at sale price.  Too bad I wasn't able to get a free umbrella (actually didn't know that they had such a promo) --- hindi umabot sa P1,500.  Tapos, I bought the first two DVD first, then later went back to buy the other three.  However, I was given 4 packs of M&M Dark Chocolate --- puwede na rin kasi 'yun ang favorite kong M&M variant.

Bought the ff:

- The Shield Season 1 @750
- Ghost Rider 2disc Extended Edition @ 199
- Atonement @175
- Sense and Sensibility @175
- Superbad @175
- War of the Worlds 2disc @175
- Aeon Flux @175
- Mary Shelly's Frankenstein @175
- About A Boy @143
- Inside Man @143

I should have insisted that The Shield Season 1 and 2 should be priced as 600 also, just like seasons 3,4,5. Kulit nung sales clerk, 750 daw talaga kaya season 1 lang muna binili ko. :)

Can anyone confirm if the Taxi Driver 2 Disc CE is the same with the latest R1 Collector's Edition release? parang luma na kasi yung cover nya e

YES this is the latest 2Disc Collector's Edition Sony Release (released last Aug 14/07 ).  Upon browsing, this exactly mirrors the latest R1 release.  However, the cover used is the old Columbia CE Release ( back in 1999 pa! ) so it's kinda misleading.

This should be the cover

(http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm110/mattia_album/51QYHpMKeyL_SL160_AA115_.jpg)

and NOT this one -

(http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm110/mattia_album/7126RJFXSJL_SL160_AA115_.jpg)


There are 4 dvd releases of Taxi Driver :  The R2 Single Disc CE Columbia Tristar, the R1/R3/R4 Columbia Tri Star CE, the   R1 Sony Release 2 Disc CE and the R2 Columbia Tri Star Japanese Superbit Release ( which I own )

Among the 4 releases, it's the R1 Sony 2 Disc and Japanese Superbit that excel in terms of PQ and SQ ( although the Superbit is the only one blessed with a dts track ).   See this review from dvdbeaver.com :

http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/DVDReviews18/taxi_driver_dvd_review.htm

I tried comparing the two earlier and it seems like the Jap Superbit has a slight PQ edge in terms of brightness. But not something to bowl over.

However, the 2 disc is the winner hands down in the EXTRAS department.  More than 3 hours!  And this is the reason for my double dip ;D.  I can't wait to watch the film again and indulge myself with the extras.

I saw Bee-Movie (although not in the yellow DVD case) selling for P275.  So I guess this one's locally made.  However, just like the recent local DVDs of Magnavision, I think this one is also DVD9.

I should have insisted that The Shield Season 1 and 2 should be priced as 600 also, just like seasons 3,4,5. Kulit nung sales clerk, 750 daw talaga kaya season 1 lang muna binili ko. :)

I just checked my watch & no, it is not working either. I guess batteries are not included & we have to buy our own. Anyway, I don't really plan to use the watch. I'll just keep it together with my Kung-Fu Hustle DVD.

Regarding No Country For Old Men, somebody reported here that imported stocks were coming to the sale so I thought there must be another variant other than the one that's abundant in the sale.

I was at the sale last saturday and bought only a few, may mga gusto pa sana ako bilhin kaso i was pissed-off by a woman in a green stripe blouse that day who act like a supervisor... i noticed her looking suspicious at people in the sale, i can't blame her, there so many people out there and you can't be sure if there are some who will shoplift some dvds and cds, but i noticed that girl starring suspicious at me everywhere i go, i only have 2 cds at hand (Survivors Greatest Hits and Timeless classic i think ata yung isa, volume 3). Then i roam around to look for some dvd titles i could buy, and then that woman starring very suspicious at me asked me to hand her over those 2 cds at my hand, itatabi lang daw muna nya, so i gave it to her and she placed the cds near the cd section and katabi na nung mga binebenta nila...so di ko na lang muna pinansin and i continued looking for dvds, pero i noticed some of the buyers na ang daming hawak at halo-halo pa yung cds at dvds pero di naman nila kinukuha, medyo unfair yata yun ha,hmmm parang may duda ata sa akin yung babaeng yun... ayun, medyo inis na din ako, and after i got the Frankenstein (M. Shelly's), i decided to pay na lang for the 2 cds and 1 dvd, medyo inis na kasi ako nun e... Then, when i asked for the 2 cds na kinuha nung babae, kinuha nila and to my surprise, iba na ang kasama nung survivors, nawala yung timeless volume 3 (Rock and Roll), Peter Cetera na ang kasama so i told the lady that that's not my cds, ok yung survivors but not the peter cetera... At alam nyo ba... yun daw ang ibinigay ko sa kanya (sabay masamang tingin), so nainis na talaga ako and told her na "kanina ko pa hawak yan at alam ko kung ano ang pinili ko, bakit mas marunong pa kayo sa akin?" and then a girl in red uniform told me na wala daw silang stock nung volume 3, so i told her na may nakuha nga ako dyan e, papano kyo mawawalan ng stock? and i told the lady in green stripe, "Nananahimik kasi sa kamay ko yung mga cds e, kinuha-kuha nyo pa, e ang dami nga dyan halo-halo na yung mga hawak sa kamay di nyo pinapansin?"... ayun, umalis na lang ako after ko bayaran...


eto lang masasabi ko...

"Ok lang sumunod kyo sa procedures ninyo pero BE FAIR naman, walang problema dun, susunod naman kami..."

We are trying to promote orig dvds and cds here in PinoyDVD.com, so please... Be Nice to Us and Be Fair, or kahit sa mga non-members, Be nice and be fair to all of your Consumers ;)


Anyway, eto lang nabili ko dun...

CDs:

Depends on the mall. Metrowalk Mall, Divisoria Mall, St Francis Square Mall are notorious for selling non-origs. 

But if you're talking of malls owned by the big 3 - SM, Ayala, Robinson's, I believe that you can almost be 100% sure that they only sell origs.

Noob Q. What is the difference between a locally pressed DVD and a locally pressed DVD copy of Jack?  ;D
With a Legal locally pressed DVD9, the content is assured.  A locally pressed 'Jack' is hit-or-miss, it might contain a faulty subtitle track or screener video track, and quality of DVD is suspect.  What's printed on the package and what's in the Disc also often doesn't match.  Not to mention, that a legal DVD also supports the government and legal business enterprises while 'Jack' supports shady individuals... Sorry, way off topic na tayo...

A locally pressed (legal) DVD9 and imported DVD9 is a harder to call...  So far, I haven't encountered any problems with Magnavision DVD9, so the fact that most of us collectors prefer imported because of it's supposed better quality, might be misinpresentation...

Also angry that Charlie Wilson's War and No Country got discounted so soon...

My suking Magna salesperson was sweet talking me into buying the slipcased Spiderwick Chronicles, priced at Php 375. I told her that they should discount 200 bucks from it, as compensation for the 100 bucks I got "overcharged" for both No Country For Old Men and Charlie Wilson's War last Friday. Didn't buy it. Next sale na lang.

I was at the sale last saturday and bought only a few, may mga gusto pa sana ako bilhin kaso i was pissed-off by a woman in a green stripe blouse that day who act like a supervisor... i noticed her looking suspicious at people in the sale, i can't blame her, there so many people out there and you can't be sure if there are some who will shoplift some dvds and cds, but i noticed that girl starring suspicious at me everywhere i go, i only have 2 cds at hand (Survivors Greatest Hits and Timeless classic i think ata yung isa, volume 3).


"Ok lang sumunod kyo sa procedures ninyo pero BE FAIR naman, walang problema dun, susunod naman kami..."

We are trying to promote orig dvds and cds here in PinoyDVD.com, so please... Be Nice to Us and Be Fair, or kahit sa mga non-members, Be nice and be fair to all of your Consumers ;)



Pareng Reynold : Baka naman type ka lang :D  O baka naman naka leather jacket ka 8)  He he.

Anyway, ako naman nung first day ganun din.  Since maaga ako dun, may mga binitbit na akong mga boxsets habang nag-aayos pa lang sila.  E alam mo naman tayong mga pdvd members parang laging mauubusan eh.  There was this girl din na ang sama ng tingin sa akin.  Tama ka, wherever I go, tumitingin din.  Dagger looks talaga.  But when she saw me talking to Lotis and Jimmy Lim, medyo natauhan yata. 

So ganyan talaga Reynold, mahirap talaga maging pogi ( tiisin na natin bro... ) ::)

He must have put a check on the "Show most recent posts at the top" option in his profile.. unchecking it would do the trick..

R3. Lately, Imported means iit's more likely to be DVD9.

Still Region 3 but minted/mastered abroad.  The dvd region code is usually found at the back cover.

For more on region coding, this might be of some help:
