I'm gonna give you guys another reason to buy this disc. Among the special features is a segment on "The Singalong Phenomenon," where people watch the film IN COSTUME and sing along with the movie, much like the midnight screenings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Here are some of the costumes:

"Warm woolen mitten":

"Brown paper packages tied up with strings":

My personal favorites: "Silver white winters that melt into springs":

and "The Hills Are Alive...":

By the way, this was a "Best Costume" contest, and the winner was:

Yes, that's the carburator the nuns stole from the German's car.

Bili na kayo!

those clips are included in the R1 version too. mas sullit nga lang ang philippine release in terms of price.

saw a copy of this at Tower Records Alabang and its priced at only P700.00

Wow! P700 na lang, thinking of buying it but I alredy bought the R1, I like the cover art of R1 better but this has better content.

I agree with everyone that this is one of the few local releases that's worth it's full price. Sana they will release other such DVDs like Mary Poppins (whose 40th anniversary comes earlier, and where an R1 edition exists)...

I want Mary Popins: 40th Aniv Ed! Sana ma release nga dito, but I doubt it.

crazyguy.. the R1 would be a good investment in the future. standardized kasi ang musical releases ng FOX. you may check State Fair and Oklahoma. they look good sitting on your shelves side by side.

At a present price of P350 in most if not all Odyssey and Video City outlets nationwide (wierd but Astro still has it at P900), this is now hands-down the BEST ever R3 local release in terms of value for money.

Rush to your nearest outlet before stocks runs out.

AshKetchum · « **Reply #41 on:** Jul 02, 2006 at 01:45 AM »

^^It's no longer on "sale"; a friend of mine went to Odyssey and Video City at SM Megamall just last Friday; she said it's now priced at 900, just like Astrovision/Astroplus.

taggart · « **Reply #42 on:** Jul 02, 2006 at 02:31 AM »

also went there yesterday and they're all priced back to P900.

lord vader, could you be more specific on where you saw it at P350? maybe it's still on sale there.

techdude · « **Reply #43 on:** Jul 02, 2006 at 02:41 AM »

As you can see in the separate Viva Sale thread, not all Odyssey or Video City has it on sale... and those that do, have their copies snapped up. My guess is that getting it at 350 at the moment, is not going to be easy. I'd been to a dozen video shops looking for (other) bargains, and no store no longer has a copy priced at 350 ( I manage to get the last copy at one of those shop).

But chances are given time, even those Astrovision ciopies will be priced at 350 during mall sales events... but when they do...they should go pretty quickly...

Frankly, this set is worth it's full price. But who can argue against a sale bargain.

haven't got to browse the different threads lately so i used to think the same chains are priced the same. FYI went to the powerplant sale last night and the SOM is still at regular price. there are boxed sets there that are significantly priced down though.

although i have no qualms on buying it at P900, it's more satisfying to buy it at a bargain alright. legally of course.

Loving this pricing trend! Got this title today at Landmark for only P299. Couple of weeks ago, scored Tarzan 1 and Bambi 1 (both 2-disc) for only P199 each at Odessey Park Square

taggart · « **Reply #49 on:** Sep 14, 2006 at 10:18 PM »

now that's really cheap! i got mine at P350 a few weeks back during the SM mkti sale. still a bargain. clear transfer plus the included pics inside the case are very nice!

Was able to get this one the other day for P350 sa Viva kiosk sa festival mall. Swertihan lang. Last copy on sale. The next day hindi na nakasale.

Sulit.

clea · « **Reply #51 on:** Sep 16, 2006 at 02:51 PM »

Saw this one for only P299 @ Video City SM North Edsa

boybi · « **Reply #52 on:** Sep 16, 2006 at 09:36 PM »

just bought this at P299 at Astro MOA, and a bunch of other titles. naka 3-day sale kasi sa MOA.

Mr. Big Boy · « **Reply #53 on:** Sep 23, 2006 at 03:55 PM »

I just bought my own copy, for 299 lang! I saw it in SM Makati ground floor. Warner Bros is having a sale there. lol

I can't believe this DVD came all the way from being 900 to just 299 na lang! Wala pang isang taon. It's worth it to wait talaga for bargain prizes lalo na kung napanood mo na ng maraming besses.

av_phile1 · « **Reply #54 on:** Sep 23, 2006 at 06:49 PM »

Really pays to wait.

Even new titles get on sale after around 9 months or less. I think Chicken Little is one of them. So is Narnia.

Sana ganyan din ang presyo sa Podium this Friday.

Yes, it's selling for 299 at the Astro sale at Podium this weekend.

Grr!

allanmandy · « **Reply #57 on:** Sep 29, 2006 at 08:55 PM »

True! I remember how excited I was when I first bought this at P900! Now it's P299 na lang! I'll never buy a Fox title near its release date EVER! Well, maybe X3, if it's the R3 2-Disc DTS w/ comic book.

techdude · « **Reply #58 on:** Sep 30, 2006 at 12:09 AM »

Oo nga, the disc is worth it's full 900 price (which I also ponied out then). While it nice to see that more people get to enjoy the movie, it makes you wary of purchasing any of their full price release...
