Bigpockets :(
A complaint about bigpockets...
Placed an order last month at big pockets for 100 blanks & 2 DVD writers (one black for my boss`s system, one beige) for work. Total cost about £450.
Initially there was a problem with the billing address entered which was my fault so hands up to that, however it took three phone calls at my expense average length 30 mins. I`m calling from Ireland so it`s not exactly a local call.
When the order eventually arrived (late) the black writer was beige. I call up & let them know there`s been some error & am told "Very sorry sir, we`ll send another one out to you it should be there next monday at the latest".
It`s now three weeks later & I`ve not recieved my replacement drive nor any communication despite several emails.
I call them, they say they`ll dispatch a drive immediatly, only it`ll have to be a lesser speced one than I ordered because they`re sold out of the original...
Another week later and... no contact, no drive (even though it was being "dispatched immediatly").
I need another 400 blanks this month (& around 300 a month for the next three months), but will NOT be shopping at bigpockets.
They`re an absolute disgrace.

Panasonic DVD question/s
Hi All,
A couple of quick questions for you. I want to upgrade my existing player to a panasonic one, but I`m looking for region free (naturally enough) & also MP3 compatability. I`m thinking of the 31/41 in silver. Has anyone any ideas of the cheapest place to get one of these ? (please bear in mind that I live in Ireland & with our crappy euro things in the UK are considerably more expensive so if I can save on delivery etc it`d be great.)
The second question will determin which one I go for. I currently have a Technics SADX851 DTS/5.1 amp which I`m assuming has onboard decoders, do I need to go for a player with onboard decoders also or oue with "output" ? Is there any great difference between the two sound quality wise ? Are they hooked up the same way (RCA Cabling & optical for the sub - that`s the way I have my current wharfdale wired up).
Any help would be appreciated.

Looking for some good action types although classics like "some like it hot" & "Rear Window" would also be acceptable.

> Almost Famous & 750s probs ?
Guys & Girls (presumably there are a couple on here ?)
Just wondering has anyone noticed a problem with R1 Almost Famous on the Wharfdale 750s ?
I got the disk last Thursday & when I went to play it it`s jumping & freezing while the dialogue goes on. The extras are grand & the second half of the film is also ok.

Hollow Man - £13.00 Delivered
Guys,
One thing that occurred to me while buying R4 disks was the great exchange rate, however you guys in the UK manage a lot better than us here in Ireland. The same for if you were to buy disks from Ireland.
I`ve managed to secure a great deal for all DVD reviewer subscribers with one of the largest disk suppliers here in Ireland (no I don`t work for them, I just buy a lot of stuff from them and have managed to get on first name terms).
www.dmgdirect.com are offerring "Hollow Man" to all site members for the great price of UK£13.00 Delivered.
It`s listed on the site at IR£19.99, but if you email them - tsidgmd[at]ei.ogidni quoting "Griffin Offer" in the subject line, they`ll honour this price.
You don`t have to send credit card details over email this is just so they can pick you out of the list of people buying the disk to get the discount price, just order as normal after sending the email.
If this works, there will be more offers forthcoming.

Sony S325 region 2 -> region1 ???
Hi !
I`m looking for a (non hardware) region hack for a Sony S325, from R2 to R1.
I`ve looked all over but can`t seem to find one. I`m specifically looking for a non hardware solution. I believe on some DVD units it`s possible to go into a menue through the remote ? Does anyone know if this is possible with mine ?
If you could mail me personally It`d be very much appreciated.
