RE: DVDs for twenty minutes of your life and an inbox full of spam. but no money!

Yes, they are legit, I received a disc from them 2 weeks ago when I joined. Definitely a good idea to use a secondary email address though!

RE: Free Nescafe Mug

It`s over before it even began (song in there somewhere!) ;) :

We`ve run out of runners-up prizes

Unfortunately, we`ve already given away all 50,000 classic red mugs but, if you haven`t won the mug of money, you can still sign up for NESCAFÉ pick-me-ups® and start saving for a great range of gifts.

Doctor Who: The Sontaran Experiment R2 DVD £4.99 or less delivered

Spotted on another forum:

£5.99 delivered (standard CD-WOW price) or visit the portal at
www.cd-wow.com/mcdonalds to reduce the price to £4.99


Great disc BTW. A little short on features compared to other `Classic` releases but features a good commentary and detailed documentary plus production subtitles and behind the scenes photo gallery. Usually absurdly overpriced for what was envisaged as a budget release, this is a great chance to pick it up!

RE: 8 Re-released Classic Dr Who titles available for £6.99 each at HMV

I love the bit in Earthshock where a Cyberman slips on the stairs. Excellent!

Just to clarify, I`m led to believe that the packaging and discs will be identical to the original releases but with the addition of a cardboard slip case which carries the new artwork.

RE: Blakes 7 free on sci fi channel-new audio adventures

Nice spot OP!

Didn`t get an email from Horizon about this one! Communications are a bit unreliable on Gauda Prime!!! ;)

Looking forward to a proper listen to this. Pity Johnny Vegas wasn`t on hand to reprise the role. He made a great Blake! :D

RE: Tomb Raider Anniversary (PS2) pre order price £21.99 or...

Nice one Pat! 8)

RE: Tomb Raider Anniversary (PS2) pre order price £21.99 or...

I think we`ve all just about talked ourselves into buying this one. Now all we need is a retailer offering it at an unbeatable price! :D

RE: Tomb Raider Anniversary (PS2) pre order price £21.99 or...

There are several lengthy reviews in current issues of the Official Playstation 2 Mag etc....

Worth trotting off for a browse in WHSmith!


I haven`t bought it (yet!) but reading between the lines, it`s gorgeous to look at, is more action based than the puzzle solving original and whilst not without some flaws it is a welcome return to form after the disappointing recent instalments.

RE: Free BBC Script

The shooting script for episode one of Life On Mars is also available on the site. Just thought I`d mention it for those of us planning to `Vote Saxon` ;)

The Sopranos: Road To Respect (PS2 game) - £7.99

I haven`t seen a review of this but am tempted to go for it at this price.

http://www.softuk.com/Sony_Playstation_2_Product_View.asp?ProdID=P2UKSOP

Has anybody played this? Is it any good?

Surely a misprice??? I`ve just Kelkoo`ed it and it`s around £30 elsewhere (Play, dvd.co.uk etc...)

Free delivery (if you have used them before or if you use the code from the old James Bond PS2 thread).

RE: WHSMITH DVDs from 65p in their 90% off sale

If anybody ordered the Snoopy DVDs, I`d crack them open before you hand them out as presents etc. I ordered six copies and five of them had all been opened and resealed prior to sale. The discs had the tell tale dust and surface marks/scratches that occur whenever a store keeps their discs in cardboard sleeves under the counter. All other titles were fine, it only seemed to apply to the Snoopy discs.

The resealed wrappings were not of the obvious heatseal or of the reusable self adhesive variety (the adhesive strip across the top). They had a folded, sealed finish as delivered by a professional case wrapping machine. Unfortunately, such machinery is getting more and more affordable all the time. >:(

WHSMITH DVDs from 65p in their 90% off sale

I can`t see any mention of this great bargain. Titles reduced by 90%, now with a further 10% reduction (e.g. 10% off the remaining 10%)

RE: Homers Illiad free

So did I Colleen, however I was still offered `The Illiad` in an email this week. Last week (I *think* it was last week!) I was also offered `Learn Mandarin Part1`. Apparently, they also offered yet another free download a week earlier but I never received an email notification about that for some reason. The `Mandarin` offer was the first email I have received in ages.

Did you log-in prior to searching for The Illiad? Worth a try if you didn`t!

RE: Sonic Screwdriver Torch £3.99

I bagged one of these myself. I was amazed at how powerful it was compared to other LED torches and even my wife`s maglite. A great buy!

Several PS2 / PSP games at bargain prices

I ordered a number of bargains this last week:

[disctitle]PS2:[/disctitle]

24 : The Game £9.99
http://www.softuk.com/Sony_Playstation_2_Product_View.asp?ProdID=P2UK24TG

Use catalogue promotional code 655608 to qualify for free delivery.

Softuk also seem to be running a cashback scheme now, offering customers 6% rebate on their future purchases for life (this is not a sales agent promotion but is a loyalty scheme aimed at the home user). Worth a look as they do have the odd bargain (worth checking their £9.99 PSP selection for stocking fillers).


[disctitle]PSP:[/disctitle]

Infected £17.99
http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=280;-1;-1;-1&sku=483289

Not part of HMV`s `2 for £25` promotion but is a great price on this Zombie gorefest :)


Who Wants To Be A Millionaire: Party Edition £17.99
http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=-1;6;38;-1&sku=585649

A good price for this pre-order.


Midway Arcade Treasures Extended Play £4.99
http://www.gamestation.co.uk/product.asp?id=101252918770392

Retro compilation including `Defender` and `Paperboy`. Has mixed reviews but at just £5.99 including postage it`s a nice little stocking filler. It is less hassle than downgrading your firmware to run `homebrew` emulators and will also keep the kids quiet for a while. Ideal for Xmas car journeys! 8)

RE: More Free TV Shows

Thanks guys! I saw the Caravan Holiday feature when it was originally broadcast and gave up trying to explain just how funny it was to my wife who had missed it.

Excellent stuff! :D

RE: Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories - PS2 £6.97 Delivered

I didn`t actually go for GTA:LCS myself as I already had it but did successfully get Singstar: Anthems for the same price. I guess they honour the first few that slip through and then pull the plug whenever the `pricing error` comes to their attention.

Always worth a punt though.........

I did scan through but admittedly, failed to spot the original post. My bad. A genuine oversight. My apologies, especially to Mrs B!

I have amended the original post to incorporate a new bargain. 8)

RE: Yakuza - Brand New PS2 Title £17.99 Delivered

I simply post them as I find them. If I find multiple bargains from the same supplier I will list multiple titles in the same thread. However, I am not going to append an old or active thread with new bargains because the majority of people simply gloss over old threads. I am sorry that this does not meet with your approval. Last week this forum was criticised for being too slow with not enough bargains, now it appears that we have too many threads. :(

RE: James Bond: From Russia With Love PS2 - £4.99 delivered

Cheers Pat!

Glad you got there in the end Aljar ! :)

RE: James Bond: From Russia With Love PS2 - £4.99 delivered

No, you don`t have to register first. I kept playing around with it and eventually managed to generate your problem. I think it`s the dvdreviewer.co.uk frame that is causing the problem. If using the above link, click `remove frame` to dispense of the dvdreviewer frame at the top of your browser window before actually adding the item to your basket.

Failing that, just type their URL into a new browser window (www.softuk.com) and you should be able to find James Bond on the homepage or at least in their £4.99 PS2 section.

I`m sure that one of these will work for you but if not, their site does say `phone orders welcome`.

RE: James Bond: From Russia With Love PS2 - £4.99 delivered

Website currently states that it is `In Stock`. I just added one to my basket no problems (10:30 pm) so I`d give it another try before they really do sell out. :o
