Curb Your Enthusiasm S1-4 £49.99
At Virgin megastore - instore only. I love this show so much it hurts, and I`m pretty sure this is a misprice for all four seasons - the S1+S2 double pack is also £49.99 in the same store.
The individual series` RRPs are around £29.99 - obviously cheaper online, but if you want all four in a box, I thought this was a pretty good price.

RE: Need a cheap phone, any ideas?
Hi - I bought a 3 phone from e2save the other day - I`d googled and surfed for ages to find the best deal - ended up with an amazing deal (works out way under £10 a month for loads of minutes and texts) on the Nokia 6630 and am really, really happy with it. Search there under `3` contract deals,
If you don`t mind a referral link (I think these are ok, please Mods remove it and pity my ignorance if not) then follow:This link
or, if you like, this is the straight link.
As I say, I`ve used them recently, and am very happy. The catch, if you can call it that, is you save the money through claiming cashback, but it`s perfectly kosher (part of the Carphone Warehouse).
Hope this is helpful.

RE: BA: iPods back in stock @ Boots: blue Mini for £95, 40GB photo for £205
RM, you are my king. I bow to you.
RE: Free £25 Bet - This is Good
Guys - I`ve done this, and won a few quid on Arsenal beating Bayern last week (the 9th). As promised, my account then showed £45, which was my stake back plus £20 winnings. However, it did not, and still does not, show my free £25.
It`s been nearly a week now, and most people on this thread seem to have got their extra £25 back. So my questions are:
- does the free £25 go into your betting account, or your bank account direct?
- and how long did others have to wait for the refund?
Hope you can help

RE: Free Tickets JIMMY CARR
Obviously not a bargain - in fact, quite the opposite. Since they`ve used this bloke to front every show on the channel (watch out, he`ll be doing the news and weather soon) I and millions of others have been unable to watch anything on 4. Thus we have been robbed of 1/5 of our terrestrial viewing, and should get some sort of refund from the people who make television sets.
Sorry, I can`t bear him. But more importantly, I have never seen anyone used so prolifically as this - not even Davina McCall. Why on earth don`t they break him up a bit with a bit of... er, well, anyone else?
RE: CAN ANYONE HELP
Wow, she only asked. Have a heart matey.
Try www.kelkoo.co.uk, click on electronics, then MP3 players, and search for those priced under £59. There`s a whole bunch of them there, I`m sure you`ll find something nice for your daughter.
RE: Samsung ML 1520 Laser Printer - back at £49.99 (Dixons/PCWorld)
I bought one of these, but I`m a tiny bit worried about the cost of a replacement toner cartridge - any ideas on how to do this cheaply?
RE: ELF - £6.99 plus p&p
Back on now for 7.99 but the FREEPOST voucher has expired. Anything else to soothe the p&p pain G-MAN?
Should just add, as a prize idiot, that as the original poster I neglected to buy it first time round. Too busy telling you guys...

RE: Best Bargain Of 2004 Awards!!
I don`t know who the poster was, but the 50% plus a bit more off at BBCSHOP was amazing. I got all four blackadders, two series of Red Dwarf, and an Alan partridge (in some bizarre reworking of the twelve days of Christmas) for just under £50. Good work unknown fella!
RE: 24 issues of Maxim, £9.99
Seriously? Have you ever read it?
That`s nearly £10 for two years of junk mail. I thought this was supposed to be a bargains forum ;-)
Sorry - good spot mate, but I recommend you avoid it like the plague. I think they`ve got a new editor or something, because last time I looked it was going downhill faster than... why can`t I think of any famous skiers? Eddie the Eagle maybe?
RE: I Robot for £0.99 for new customers at lxdirect.com
GREAT SPOT! Just ordered Troy for £4.99. If it works, it`s one of the deals of the year so far.
Anybody know whether it`ll work again under my wife`s name?
Bond tin £10 / Band of Brothers £5 / Alien Quad £5
Opening day offers at HMV in Oxford Street tomorrow morning (30th). Queuers will get tickets to show their priority, so get out that sleeping bag...
RE: Police academy 1-7 for under £24 (R1)
Nick mate, it was just a little joke. Sorry if you took it personally. Not that I want to wear it as a badge, but I actually read the Independent. But honestly, no offence meant - had you not spotted the reference to pretentious Guardian reading I probably would have deleted it myself. Apology accepted?
RE: Police academy 1-7 for under £24 (R1)
I must have been lucky in the past I guess... Anyway - even with that on top, it`s still not a bad price. The RRP for the region 2 is £69.99.

Police academy 1-7 for under £24 (R1)
DVDsoon have all seven Police Academy`s (R1) for £23.80 at the current exchange rate - and there`s still free shipping! That includes the special edition of number one, just released over here.
I know 7 is laughable, 6 is poor and 5 ain`t great, but the first four movies are retro classics. You know you love them - and that includes all you pretentious Guardian readers too.
BARGAIN!
RE: THREEDOLLARDVD.COM
These are Chinese Pirate DVDs. Not good.
RE: 50% off at BBC Shop
Working for me - great spot - thanks so much!
West Wing Complete S1 + S2 £34.99
HERE
Best price I`ve ever seen it. Ordered mine - and judging by the sales rank of 4 at the mo, so have a lot of others.
RE: Game Sale
£20 Indiana Jones` seemed to be in abundance at the Sutton branch. What a bargain - you don`t usually see something at half price when there are still posters for it everywhere. Obviously I bit their hand off, and am now selling twenty thousand copies on fleabay. Joke.
Also Alien Quadrilogy box for £39.98 - cheapest we`ve ever seen it, by a penny!
LOTR 2 Disc vs 4 Disc
Alright, clearly that headline doesn`t make a lot of sense. What I mean is this...
Is there any point in buying the 2-disc versions of LOTR if you`ve already got both the extended 4 disc versions? Are there extra features which don`t appear on the 4 disc, and if so, are they worth having?
Cheers guys,

RE: Men Behaving Badly Series 1-6 Boxset Bargain
Where? In store?
Anybody seen a good deal on the new I-Pod?
Particularly interested in the 20mb variety, but haven`t found it for under £299. Can anyone better that?

RE: Alien Quadrilogy £27.99 Woolworths - instore.
I`ve got to say I was offended when I saw what had happened - kind of blew my faith a little in what has always been a tremendous little community. Buying a few copies and flogging them on fleabay is one (hated) thing, but coming back to this most benevolent little board and advertising the fact is quite another. I hope no-one will ever do this again.
I do wish also that they hadn`t come back on here to try and defend themselves. Just hold your hands up, admit you shouldn`t have done it (the bragging part), and we`ll all forget about it.
Come on you two - it`s Christmas!
RE: Free Sony CD walkman at Viking
Sorry - am I being thick? How does this work? Anybody got a link?
RE: Deer Hunter 2 Disk Edition £4.99 at Woolies
Been following this thread all week and couldn`t find one anywhere - but at last, today, Sutton woolies proved to be an unlikely promised land.
I noticed that when the checkout girl scanned the barcode, the till actually registered that it was the Special Edition - almost as if it was meant to be £4.99. I assumed that they`d intended to sell the one-disc version off cheap, but got their wires crossed...
Surely they can`t actually mean to sell a DVD that came out last month for this price? If so, let`s hope they adopt a similar policy with all new releases.

RE: Die Hard 2 - Haylp!
Thanks drb. That`s a shame though - the 3-disc set has none of the good extras and STILL has the cut version of Die Hard with a Vengeance.
Gutted.
Die Hard 2 - Haylp!
You guys are always the most helpful on the web so, here`s a query I hope one of you can help me with...
It seems that [disctitle]Die Hard 2: Die Harder SE[/disctitle] is either dying or being deleted. Does anyone know where I can get a copy and not pay the earth please? Amazon don`t sell it, neither do Play, while lots of others don`t have it in stock.
Anybody? Please?
U2 Elevation tour live in Boston
Hi, does anyone know where I can get U2`s Elevation DVD (and any music DVD`s) cheap? Also, does anyone know the difference between the R1 and R2 versions? Thanks
