Can anyone suggest anything at Britannia I can buy to fulfil my membership terms?
I have to buy 4 more DVDs
Anything that isn`t stupidly marked up?
Gladiator for £24.99
Godfather for £59.99, I don`t think so.

Does buying video tapes count towards my total????
HELP!

They`re a bit crafty, because their full price VHS/CD/DVD catalogue prices are crazily expensive, whilst their bonus stuff is cheap, but won`t count towards your commitment. You can, however, buy anything, not just DVDs.

Someone has suggested cheap classical music cassettes, but I can`t find any :(

Try Porridge Series 1 DVD (£12.99 + P & P), plus I think there`s some cheap Dangermouse DVDs on there, and The Craft.

I`ve still got three to get too - it would have been two if they`d have honoured the Ultimate Carry On DVD set for £40 - tightwads....

yes its nearing the end of my first year of my membership and i still havent bought anything. some movies are £15.99 like the lethal weapon trilogy. Batman and robin is £12.99 not a great movie but what the hey? How much is the craft? I am gonna get the MI boxset for £25 i know its £18 @play but £12.50 a dvd is still good in my books.

Hi i just ordered the craft for £10.99 and starship troopers for £15.99 hopefully it is the re issue, if not i will send it back using their freepost labels.
Nightmare on elm street box set is only £30 for 5 dvds which is cool. Not my thing though

what happens when u don`t purchase anything for the first year and the second year?

I only signed up a few months ago, but the prices are so high (for full price items) and the P&P pushes it over the top, so unless i purchase VHS films and then flog em on Ebay i don`t thnk i`ll be ordering anything, so do they send u court or anything or just take the free titles off you.

if you don`t buy 3 in first year i think they take you to court! and take the dvds back which you had, say like i had 5 for the price of 1! i only played £7.69 for 5 dvds, but they then con you with the huge price of their dvds. yea you HAVE you buy 3 in first year then 3 in the second year. But after i have bought the six dvds i will cancel my membership, as they are s***E!

hi. if you do not fulfil your membership commitments, you have to pay full price for the 4 dvds u got free. I got 5 dvds for £16ish from them including the scream box set and jurassic park box set for my intro offer, so im not complaining. buy 6 dvds @ £17.25 each (£15.99+p+p(they do have a decent selection for £15.99)) = £103.50 + initial fee = about £120 for 11 dvds = about £11 per dvd and 2 of them were box sets which at the time retailed at about £30 and £50 respectively. even if u didnt get box sets, £11 a dvd is less than what u pay at the supermarket, dont look at the price and deter, think about the whole picture and what u have gotten already for nothing.
