RE: Ridiculously Cheap Beatles DVD

RE: Ridiculously Cheap Beatles DVD

Strangely enough ... my Anthology set has suffered the same fate !!

Here`s the reply I got from cd-wow earlier today...

"We have made some enquiries as to the whereabouts of your order and
unfortunately, it appears that it is being held by British Airways,
awaiting release to Royal Mail, due to a random security check (being an
international company, all our goods are dispatched from our overseas
warehouse). We expect this security check may be as a result of current
world events, as we have never known of such an occurrence in the past
and hope it won`t happen in the future. We have been advised that
delivery should be within the next 5 working days and if you could allow
this additional time period, we would really appreciate it."

Naiko N1170

Makro have these on special offer for £59.99+VAT from this Wednesday.

Is there a multi-region and/or VCD hack for these ?

I`ve searched the forum but can`t find any mention of this model.

Does anyone have one ? What are they like ?

RE: Lilo & Stitch. Anyone seen it?

play247 are shipping this now ( mine was posted yesterday )

RE: My free Fox DVD just dropped through the letter box this morning.

I emailed them and got the following reply ( on Nov 1st )

Due to an overwhelming response to the offer, we are backlogged. We are endeavouring to fulfill orders within 6 to 8 weeks of receipt. Please be patient, we assure you that we will be getting to your order as soon as possible.

RE: Ordering cigarettes online. Whats the cheapest and most reliable site?

I`ve successfully ordered stuff from www.dutyfreecenter.com, but on my 3rd attempt, I got the dreaded customs card !

I contacted dutyfreecenter, told them all the details on my customs card and they refunded my money, less the delivery .. so I lost a couple of quid.

Since I already managed to successfully order 2 cartons of 200 at £10.50 each, losing a couple of quid is nothing !

Beauty & The Beast - Platinum Edition £12.99 (R1 - 2 discs)

... from http://www.futureent.com

even though the R1 release date isn`t till October 8th, this was posted on Saturday and delivered today ...

Can`t fault service like that ( or the price ! )

RE: FREE DVD PLAYER !!!!!!!!!!!

Ordered on Monday afternoon, delivered Wednesday morning ..

DVD player is really good ! Tried the multi-region hack and it worked 1st time. Didn`t bother trying the macrovision hack.

RE: FREE DVD PLAYER !!!!!!!!!!!

Seems to be remote hackable for multi-region

http://www.vcdhelp.com/dvdplayershack.php?select=Mustek%20DVD%20V520

not sure about Macrovision though.

RE: FREE DVD PLAYER !!!!!!!!!!!

I ordered yesterday, and it`s being posted today

RE: FREE DVD PLAYER !!!!!!!!!!!

I also have just ordered a phone from here ( £25 a month including 200 minutes free - T-Mobile ) but after 3 months, you can change tariffs so you`d be able to reduce it.

I got the Nokia 5210 and this came with loads of free accessories as well as the DVD player

Pretty good deal. According to vcdhelp.com, this DVD player plays everything ( CD-R, VCD, DVD-R, SVCD, MP3 )
