Got my copy from Astro SM North Edsa. They are not displaying the merchandise but you have to ask for it from the counter. The salesgirl remembered me from previous orders and asked if I am availing of the promo (what promo?), i said no and will pay for the full retail of P1200.

She proceeded in issuing me the invoice placing Pinoydvd[/d] to Sold to line. (She remembered me from the Time Machine promo )
She then bagged the disk placed the receipt and immediately placed something else - A T-shirt! Without me asking for it!

No thats what I call Pinoydvd clout

BTW, I noticed another shopper perusing an opened copy of LOTR at the counter for any scratches. I didn't hear kung tinawaran (baka member din dito )

yup, that was me. was tempted to buy to opened disc since there was no obvious damage but since they were not willing to give me a discount, i didn't get it.

I was at the Astrovision SM Fairview yesterday and the Discs are now on display and being sold openly.

Astro @ SM Centerpoint also have them openly displayed for sale...

Mukhang Astrovision lang ang nagdi-distribute ng LOTR DVD. Meron ba silang tie-up with C-Interactive. Most of the other video/music stores I've been to only carry the VCD and VHS formats.

Video City, also, has the DVD version, pero as expected, out of stock na.
Baka in two weeks daw sila uli magkaka-stock ng DVDs nito. Same as in Astro.

At Astrovision Alabang Town Center yesterday, they said that they still had 40 copies of LOTR FOTR. They may have sold that by today. $:-\$

Is there any word on other New Line releases as well as the extended versions of LOTR FOTR?

Can someone post C-Interactive's email address? Thanks

Do any of you you've bought the 2-disc LOTR still plan on getting the 4-disc/5-disc set coming in November?

I've actually preordered the 4 disc set sa Amazon.

Yung 5 disc, if ever may pera pa. Or if somebody from our reliable marketplace sellers (PARC, charbit, benny or EbtgMike among others) bring in the 5 disc and the price is tempting

.

Now my problem will be how to justify the purchases with my wife

dni · « **Reply #159 on:** Aug 12, 2002 at 02:54 PM »

yes i am planning to buy either the 4-disc or 5-disc set pa.

not sure lang kung justifiable ba yung price of the 5-disc set. but if i don't get the 5-disc set i'll still buy the 4-disc set.

Yup, I've preordered the 5-disc set from amazon. Can't wait for november!

Heheheh!!

Looks like a lot of people are going for the 5 disc set even if they've bought the 2 disc one...

Actually, pinagiisipan ko kung bibili pa ako ng 2-disc set ng LOTR sa Astro kse may pre-order na ako ng 5-disc LOTR gift set from pareng PARC eh.. bweheheheh!!!

ey guys

i just got my LOTR fullscreen version today and i noticed that it has a french text on the side of the case and on the back

. is this normal? i was guessing this is the canadian version. even the dvd logo is different....

sungit · « **Reply #164 on:** Aug 14, 2002 at 01:49 AM »

i've just had my 3rd viewing of the LOTR 2 disc set. bitin talaga!! my favorite part of the special features is the special preview of two towers... i kept getting goosebumps and i still get goosebumps now. haaayyy... now if i can convince my dad to get the 4 disc set (since the 5 disc would be too ridiculous for him).

Battousai · « **Reply #165 on:** Aug 14, 2002 at 01:06 PM »

Hey, guys and gals!
I was at Astrovision Virramall a few hours ago, and they now have brand new stocks of the LOTR DVDs.
Yup, region 1 pa rin sya.
I didnt ask how many was in stock, though, pero ng makita ko sa display shelves nila, there were 3 copies.
Im waiting for the 4 or 5 disc set, pero talagang tempting bilhain itong 2 disc set.
FYI lang po.

sungit · « **Reply #166 on:** Aug 14, 2002 at 04:24 PM »

is it true that if you pre-prder the 4-disc set from amazon, you'll only have to pay a little less than $30? sounds tempting... what's the real retail price anyway (or how much will astrovision sell it for when it hits the phils.?)

aikigrappler · « **Reply #167 on:** Aug 14, 2002 at 04:39 PM »

Just came from Astro Virra where I always buy my DVDs, may display pa silang mga 4.Pagpasok ko nga yang ang offer agad eh.Marami daw kumukuha although meron din nagreklamo daw, kasi R1. Di maubusan yang LOTR.This is the start of R1 coming in I hope.

Yes, that's the Canadian version. If you look at the back of the DVD cover, you will see another version of the cover where the French title is bigger than the English title.

it's $25.99 in Amazon, less STL, $2.6, add some more items to make it $49 to avail the free shipping within US and apply $5 gift coupons....

Ship it here via US mailbox or Johnny Air... ;

Hmm.. buti pala naabutan ko.. nung dumaan ako kanina ng 3pm wala ng nakadisplay at kinuha pa dun sa stockroom yung copy na ibinigay sa akin. anyway, I hope there will be others like this.

Even the Canadian R1 widescreen version (whic I have) is also like this. Note that what I'm referring to in my previous post is the reverse side of the cover.

Hiya, Sungit! I'm not familiar with the coupons and discounts from Amazon but if you're looking for a US mail box --- check the US Mailbox promo (click on the banner beside the pinoydvd logo), they have an ongoing promo for Pinoydvd members.

Kaya lang baka merong mag forge ng Master ring at mako-kontrol tayo para bumili ng bumili ng dvd. Eniway, what difference does it makes ... bili naman ng bili tayo talaga ng dvd eh.

For you guys and gals who bought LOTR R1 and for those who are planning to buy:

I've watched my LOTR DVD for 3 times now and I noticed that there are cracks around the center hole of the disc 1. This was caused by the tight button on the center hub of the case.
So I'm planning to move my disc 1 in another case.

F.Y.I.

Aaarrrgh!

I've gone to several Astrovisions in the past 2 weeks and I still don't have my own copy of LOTR!! Worse, they don't even know when the new stock is coming in

I think I'm just an unlucky SOB
