DarkMatt Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 I stumbled upon this whilst looking for Bleak House on HD-DVD (Got to find something for a Mother's Day present, don't I? ) Zavvi.co.uk They seem to have a fair amount of stock: Bleak House Set: 9.99 GBP Galapagos: 5.99 GBP Robin Hood Season 1: 16.99 GBP Becoming Jane: 9.99 GBP Here's the list, but a few aren't showing up due to the weird way they're listing them (Best Selling HD-DVD's only?), however they do show up alongside the SD-DVD or BD releases in a search. HD-DVD list Shipping was 4 quid (4.50 or something?) on my order of Bleak House - not sure how that translates for multiple items. As far as I know, most of these were only ever released in the UK, and they're the cheapest I've seen them for. Hope this helps someone
sirhc8 Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 I stumbled upon this whilst looking for Bleak House on HD-DVD (Got to find something for a Mother's Day present, don't I? )Bleak House Set: 9.99 GBP I've got that set on DVD. It's a very good series for anyone else who is interested in this sort of thing (and I would suggest you should have read the novel by Charles Dickens as a prerequisate)
achjimmy Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Galapagos: 5.99 GBP And i thought i was thru buying I saw a bit of this on SD and it looks Stunning.
Mjr69 Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Galapagos is as good as Planet Earth in respect to quality and knowledge etc... I watched the first segment and was happy with that for the money - not realising at the time that there are 3 parts to it. Highly Recommended!
thelastboarder Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 And i thought i was thru buying I saw a bit of this on SD and it looks Stunning. Its even better in real life! Already got this from Amazon.com...paid a few quid more, but well worth it at this price!
adhock Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Anyone know what Robin Hood's like on HD DVD? I'm tempted...
Lenneth Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Galapagos is coming up as 9.99 for me. Seems they are bumping back up the price already.
DarkMatt Posted May 5, 2008 Author Posted May 5, 2008 whats shipping like ? Shipping was 4.50 GBP to Sydney for Bleak House - it appears as though that's their base rate to Aus. Don't know about extra items. Re: Galapagos back up to 9.99 - it was that price this morning, then it was down to 5.99 this afternoon. Their prices are fluctuating almost as much as ezydvd
adhock Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 whats shipping like ? After digging around the site for ages, I eventually found it written somewhere (will find link later if needs be) - it's 4.50 per item internationally.
tonyjg Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 After digging around the site for ages, I eventually found it written somewhere (will find link later if needs be) - it's 4.50 per item internationally. I'm surprised that no one has noted that this used to be VIRGIN UK note.... its VERY similar to the crappy shipping rates that HMV CO UK has - PER ITEM. yep ... near $A10 to ship EACH ITEM. WHAT A TOTAL RORT - it wouldn't cost anywhere near that !!! its little wonder stores like HMV UK and their like have lost substaintial amounts of overseas online business !!
adhock Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 Just got the email that Robin Hood was out of stock in the warehouse and has now been backordered. "One or more of the items you recently ordered from us is currently out of stock at our warehouse. We have ordered this product from our supplier and it will be shipped to you when it becomes available."

"One or more of the items you recently ordered from us is currently out of stock at our warehouse. We have ordered this product from our supplier and it will be shipped to you when it becomes available." I got that email on Bleak House, but it ended up being shipped a couple of days later I must say, I'm extremely impressed with the postage. I got my copy of Becoming Jane today - Order was placed on May 5th, shipped on May 7th, and I had it in Sydney, today - May 12th. Shipping would not have cost them 4.50 GBP, no. However, it was infinitely faster than Amazon or the like, and imo was worth it. Definite thumbs up on delivery times for me I must say I'm tempted by their M:I boxset for 21.99 GBP. Works out slightly more (?) than at Amazon Canada, but just a bit faster shipping
daz_dors Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 I just ordered (I thought I had everything I wanted) Robin Hood and Bleak House, shipping was free.
