Alien Quadrilogy - Region 2 - £44.99 delivered

Bunnster (Competent) posted this on Tuesday, 9th September 2003, 12:01

Just pre-ordered this from amazon.co.uk.

I think this is a bargain for the Region 2 version. Play have this on pre-order at £69.99 at the moment, but I guess that may change nearer the time.

If you order, make sure you choose the free delivery option (standard checkout assumes you want to pay for delivery, about £1.50 I think).

I have even included the link to the product at their website:

www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000C24F3/qid%3D1063108695/026-0915037-9130838

Before you ask, they only debit your credit card just before despatch, so order now, then cancel if it becomes cheaper else where ;-)

Can anyone challenge me on this being the cheapest for Region 2, delivered (at this point in time)

Good spot on choicesdirect, though using dvdpricecheck.co.uk this shows amazon the cheapest, hence my order (now cancelled).

region 1 is cheaper, but you cannot be sure of not being charge import/vat duties etc.

I`m puzzled by your findings Bunnster...

How is £44.99 from Amazon cheaper than £42.84 from ChoicesDirect? :p

Also DVDSoon are Customs friendly. They label the packaging with the value of the goods to be below £18. People on this forum tend to use them because of this, especially with big value orders as I have in the past. This is also true of amazon.ca.

cyanide69, re-read my previous post, then follow this, hopefully all should be clear:

go to www.dvdpricecheck.co.uk

type in "alien quadrilogy", choose region 2 only, press ENTER.

the results show amazon to be the cheapest, with choices direct at £52.49 (yes I know now this is wrong, but at the time I didn`t recheck every site!) :-)

so with my limited abilities, £44.49 appeared to be cheaper than £52.49, and hence my original order and original post in this forum.:-O

On restudying my A Level maths course, I do also agree that £42.84 is cheaper than £44.99, and hence my subsequent post about cancelling my order with Amazon.:-)

Thanks for the info. on DVDSoon, I didn`t know they were so custom friendly.:-)

Can anyone point me at information on the new versions of these films? I have had a search around without much success...

Ahhh - it`s all clear now Bunnster.

Sorry for misunderstanding your posting - my mistake. I`ll restudy my English course. So the `A` Level Maths did come in handy after all! :D

Enjoy the boxset when it arrives. I guess you did the right thing ordering R2 anyway to get the crisper transfer as opposed to NTSC. The difference in price is minimal. Plus choicesdirect have a very good reputation - it will come very well packaged to ensure the box is not damaged.

In effect, you are getting the boxset for £4.76 per disc - what a bargain!!! :)
