Hydrology Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 From the current BigW catalogue:- Air Force One Bruce Almighty Alpha Dog Con Air Enemy of the State Scary Movie 4 Finding Neverland King Arthur We Were Soldiers The Rock Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy Cinderella Man Crimson Tide Reign of fire Flighplan $22.78 each
FMB Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 I think the point is that the Big W catalogue had one full page dedicated to BD including reasons why it was so good. Sure, the movies on offer weren't great, but its nice to see one of the chain stores finally acknowledging the existence of BD.
tonyjg Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 here's the link to the online catelogue http://catalogues.bigw.com.au/portal/dynam...&gotopage=1 This would be almost a FIRST for these B&M stores - as well all having them 'EXPLAIN' what Blu-ray is (unlike the glamorous Domayne type adverts 'explaining' on all the parts you need to get HD really working !!') Price wise - I think that these Disney / BV titles may still struggle - IF they had the PIRATES FILMS at this price and in this advert - then they may have grabbed more attention. ***** One thing to NOTE in this catelogue is that in the BLU-RAY advert they 'HIGHLIGHT' the film HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE at $22.78 - only to then HIGHLIGHT the DVD at $12.87 on the following pages !!! Sure its ONLY a $10 difference.... but still.....................
the_wonderchild Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 thanks for the link and info guys. time to get me that copy of We Were Soldiers perhaps.

They had stacks of them at the shop in Brisbane this morning and As quick as I was getting my 3 1 minute after opening there was another guy behind me cleaning up on a few titles
Blackman1503561291 Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 We need more of the $24 Sales ones and they will be the only ones I will be buying locally in the near future
ministry Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Pity there all very ordinary titles, i think i'll stick to my amazon sales.
Blackman1503561291 Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Pity there all very ordinary titles, i think i'll stick to my amazon sales. Yes but I'm running out of my favorite titles to buy and it just happens two of them were on my wanted list.

ghostboi Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) Just came back from local Big W - had plenty of stock still. Sad thing was, Bourne Collection all sold out But I bought Enemy of the State, just to make my trip worthwhile. Edited June 5, 2008 by ghostboi
auswoffer Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 No titles I want to buy, but an interesting development. Good to see a simple explanation of HiDef & Bluray. Good to see some discounting. I often have a quick look at the BigW & Target shelves, but they don't have the range of JB.
the_wonderchild Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 quansta; you won't really find many reviews of Air Force One because i think at the moment it is only available to/in Region B countries (most reviews tend to come from US; being Region A....this is also why there are few reviews for a couple other titles). was able to get me my copy of We Were Soldiers.

I picked up a copy anyway.. they had this on TV the other week in broadcast in HD, wasn't too bad.. we'll watch it on the weekend i think.. we'll be watching batman begins tonight on HD-DVD :-) cheers
Roy Batty Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 I picked up Flightplan and The Rock for the special price, and am happy. They are not absolutely wonderful transfers a la POTC (misframing issues notwithstanding on POTC), but they are not all-over-the-place based on less than stellar sources a la Rocky, either. If you find a title you are interested in, then go for it.
