Page 1 of HMV new sale....

forgot to mention, went into HMV monday and their new dvd sale is the buy one get one free, some good deals, dvds include;

T2 UE
men in black 2 disk
Almost famous 2 disk exclusive only released this week only in HMV
Cape Fear Box set, they only had the shelves half full so didn`t see many other ones which particulary stood out

According to the www.hmv.co.uk website it is only FilmFour DVDs in the buy one get one free campaign?

Try clicking on the `Other DVDs from £4.99` link on the first page.

The sale has been going on for some time.

"Try clicking on the `Other DVDs from £4.99` link on the first page"

That just takes you to the `DVD Clearout` sale that been going on for weeks.

Might visit the Newcastle store at lunchtime to check it out!

The websites updated now......

http://www.hmv.co.uk/servlet/HMVApp/DepartmentBrowse.DepartmentBrowse/campaignSearch?deptNum=0&subDeptNum=0&campaignCode=02MYD&sortOrder=2&src=-1&pg=0&resultsPerPage=0&sessionID=575978294333272462640501&m1=H&m2=BG&bskct=0&source=&sv=1


Now that`s what I call a link!!!

Many of the DVDs in the HMV sale, you can already get for a cheap price at other sites. e.g American History X is on at £19.99 on HMV but only £8.99 at Play and Blade is on at £19.99 on HMV but again only £8.99 on Play. I think, it`s not really a buy one get one free sale as they`ve already included the cost of the second DVD in the price.

I agree : I`m pretty sure some of these DVDs have been cheaper in HMV before this so-called "sale".... :-(

I tend to find that those who buy a higher percentage of disks off the high street aren`t budget-searching enthusiasts like us, and most of them only have region 2 players anyway...
We all know these high street retailers take the p*** for prices when compared to our Web based chums at Play/CD-WOW etc, but for those relucant to buy off the Web the HMV/Virgin 2 for 1`s or BOGOF`s provide a decent alternative. Also there`s the added bonus of getting to see whether the packaging is put together well, cue my gripes with CD-WOW over my T2 disk...

Most of it is not a bargain, but there are a few good ones: you could get
Almost Famous 2 disc special edition+ Cape Fear box set for £25
Withnail and I and Evil Dead(not the book) for £15 thats the cost of each of these on play (evil dead 2 is the same price as on Play aswell)
T2

Thats about it though, Almost Famous and Cape fear as a bogof seems to be the onlly big money saver.

EDIT: Scrap that! just been looking at Play`s new deals and Withnail and I and Evil Dead are £7.99 each!! and Evil dead 2 is now £8.99. So Almost Famous, Cape Fear, and T2 are the only worthwhile options.
