Gloria my favorite sales personnel at Astro in Sm North Edsa reserved me a copy although I have second thoughts buying the box-set.

Finally bought it kanina lunch break...only 1 copy left but it was already reserved for a certain doctor...maybe he or she is also a pinoydvd member.

Present po. I'll get the reserved set tomorrow.

The box-set has a sturdy packaging... can beat the box-set of LOTR Platinum editions, with cool booklet that you can treasure for a long time.

It's so easy to lift the discs on the hub which is the exact opposite of 2 disc-set of Warner releases like the Harry Potter, True Romance.

The video transfer also are excellent, so far I finished watching ALIEN & ALIENS.

Will watch tomorrow the extras of both movies. Maybe abutin ako one month before I finished watching all the 9 discs.

Just got mine at astro glorietta last night. Nagpareserve pa naman ako sa astro festival mall but since nasa glorietta ako and there were 2 copies left in display, might as well buy it there.

Was able to score my copy from Astro Festival Mall a few days ago... I guess they ran out already.

The boxed set looks great. Beautiful packaging and priced just right.

got mine at astro sm pampanga, 2 sets lang ang nadeliver sa kanila, 1 set was already sold, buti nalang nagpareserve ako.

nasa astro glorietta ako kahapon, i saw 2 sets displayed at the back of the counter, nabili na ni Koolkat yung isa, so baka 1 set nalang ang available.

Koolkat · « **Reply #70 on:** Apr 19, 2004 at 10:21 PM »

good for mr muttley hindi ko na kinuha yung pinareserve ko sa festival mall because i was also there last friday kaya lang wala na silang stock. tumawag sila sa southmall and they said meron pang isa. tinamad na akong pumuntang southmall kaya i just told one of the clerks to reserve it for me and they held the last copy for me. Since i am working in makati, magbakasakali ako sa astro glorietta to see if they still had some copies and, lo and behold, they had 2 copies left kaya dun ko nalang binili.

Anybody else looking for copies? There was a delivery made to AstroPlus Podium so they have more than a dozen copies in stock. This looks like the last of it though according to the salesperson. He claimed that most of the other branches were already out of stock. Can anyone confirm?

Sir firewired...there are still 2 stocks at Sm City North Edsa Astro last Monday.

BY the way where is the pressing of the 9 discs? All are excellent in quality.

Is it also in Taiwan?

firewired · « **Reply #73 on:** Apr 22, 2004 at 09:06 PM »

Taiwan probably. Most of the R3 releases are manufactured by Infodisc.

Thanks for the info...

It's identical to the Reg. 1 discs.

Sigh $:-\$
Anyone interested in buying my Region 1 Alien Legacy set? At least magkakaroon ako ng pambayad for the Quadrilogy.

I just watched alien 1 which had DTS on my entetainment system (promac 5.1 t). But I didn't notice anything special about it. A lot of you guys have been raving about the DTS soundtrack. But I really didn't notice any differences between a dvd that has a DTS soundtrack and a dvd that doesn't. I'm kind of a newbie in dvd collecting so can someone please explain the difference.

there is not much difference when your using htib or entertainment systems.try using avr's or separates.you will hear a big difference.dts sountrack are more dynamic and its louder than dd.

Guys,

Anybody know where I can still get a copy of Alien Quadrilogy?

Koolkat · « **Reply #80 on:** Apr 27, 2004 at 03:10 PM »

Hey geoffrey, try mo astro glorietta. I was there last night and they had 2 copies left (again)

Alfie · « **Reply #81 on:** Apr 28, 2004 at 08:47 AM »

yup-yup...it seems that they do replenish fast, I got a copy last Friday, and it was supposedly their last, well seemingly for the week.

I also saw 2 copies at the Astrovision Greenhills.

I guess there are enough copies for the limited few who can truly appreciate this particular release.

jimmylr · « **Reply #82 on:** Apr 28, 2004 at 09:28 AM »

I've seen around 8 to 10 or more copies in AstroPlus Podium yesterday afternoon. I'm wanted to buy but still thinking coz of monetary limitation. :'(

Yup, Astro's been moving stock around from what I understand. They have their own warehouse in San Juan. According to Viva though, they've delivered all of their stock to Astro so the stores are just finishing off whatever copies they still have or are sending them to other branches that have higher demand. At last count, less than 40 copies left daw.

Koolkat · « **Reply #84 on:** Apr 28, 2004 at 11:13 AM »

I guess it wasn't that limited after all. And to think nagkandarapa ako nun when it came out for the fear na baka maubusan ako. But it doesn't make any difference. I'm gonna buy it sooner or later anyway.

aquajoe · « **Reply #85 on:** Apr 28, 2004 at 01:57 PM »

Picked up mine at Astro in Glorietta yesterday... 2 copies left over there.

Questions: the set has a pocket where a booklet should normally be, but mine doesn't have one. Is there supposed to be one? Should I return it?

Koolkat · « **Reply #86 on:** Apr 28, 2004 at 02:06 PM »

Yes you should return it because it should have a booklet there.

toyfanatic · « **Reply #87 on:** May 04, 2004 at 08:55 AM »

finally got the copy...sulit talaga for 2800pesos

Welcome aboard...aquajoe.

Yup...definitely it should contain a booklet that has synopsis, cast, chapter listings of the dvds & other tidbits. Ask the sales personnel from Astro in Glorietta.

I'm down to three more discs. I watch the movies in 1 week intervals. I watch the films on my day off and I watch the special features disc of the film within that week. That way it really builds the anticipaton of watching the next part of the quadrilogy. I especially like how they produced the second film. There was an animosity between the american and the british crew. Medyo masungit pala si James Cameron.
