Good spot!

Just ordered mine - £3.48 per film, including postage!

Even if I don`t watch them, my grandmother probably will (if she can overcome her fear of `new technology`!).

According to Play;
The Ladykillers (WS 1.66:1)
A gang of crooks find themselves hiding out in a house occupied by a little old lady. Planning to dispose of the risk to their security, the crooks find Mrs Wilberforce rather more difficult to remove than first thought...
The Man In The White Suit
Sidney Stratton (Alec Guinness) is an inventor who invents a revolutionary new fabric that won`t get dirty or wear out but dismayed garment manufacturers set out to bury his secret formula...
The Lavender Hill Mob
A timid bank clerk hits upon the perfect scheme to rob a gold bullion truck but finds his criminal companions more than a little inept...
Kind Hearts And Coronets
Alec Guinness gives a virtuoso performance in his Ealing comedy debut, playing all eight victims standing between a mass-murderer and his family fortune...

Ordered - what a bargain

It did not work for me! I pre-ordered it - inserted the BYPK-A4H7-E3P5 and got just £3.00 off - resulting in £29.92. Good, but no cigar...

Too late again, I fear :-(

They`ve changed the price. May have been a pricing mistake. There were other great bargains on the weekend that they have now fixed too. Other great bargains which have now been increased in price included:

* I Claudius [£18.39 - now £33.74]
* David Attenborough (some big forthcoming box set?) [£18.39 - now £47.99]
* Farscape - Season 3 [£10.39 - now £35.18]
* Battle Royale Special Edition [£10.39 - now £23.99]
