Some Seriously Good Deals of the Week

Wow - ok finally I'm starting to see some decent deals come through from these January sales.

I got some notice of the HMV offers of the week - which range from FANTASTIC to mediocre.. but whatever, lets focus on the fantastic ones..

Seinfeld: Series 1 AND 2 Boxset (was £34.99 now only £8.99)

WHAT a bargain - Remember this is 2 entire seasons for that price, and if you've never had the chance to get into this insanely brilliant comedy, then this could be the very opportunity. I urge you to buy it, in fact I'm even going to give this my DVD-Spot "Awesome Offer of the week! tm" (Hey, it could catch on..)

The Godfather Trilogy 4-DVD Boxset (was £24.99 now only £9.99)

It's back on offer again - what a serious bargain! £9.99 for the entire trilogy, all presented in a lovely package. There is actually a 5-disc version but given that it's currently an entire £40 more at this point in time I'm guessing that this other one could be the better option. I mean.. if you don't own this already, I'm guessing that you wouldn't really care that much if you missed out on one more disc of content..

Laurel & Hardy Box Set (was £199.99 now only £49.99)

..or at least it was supposed to be £49.99 - the site is currently showing it as £99.99 which isn't so good.. but keep your eye on this one. I mean just look at it..

I'm seriously tempted, as it does look like such a nice collection. And there's no denying their brilliance. A word of warning though: Being the brilliant DVD correspondent that I am, I did some research on other sites to see what people thought about it. It seems like the good people over at Amazon have been saying how the sale versions of this have been shipping without the booklets included. Hmmm.. what devilry is this? It's put me off a little but again.. definitely one to look out for!

Grease (was £17.99 now only £2.99)
Alternatively you can try out the 2-Disc Special Edition for £7.99.

The Bourne Identity / Bourne Supremacy Boxset (was £7.99 now only £5.99)
Ok fair enough, good price whatever.. but it may seem like more sense to get the actual new trilogy boxset out now.

Reservoir Dogs (Now only £2.99)

YES - This is a brilliant deal. I bought this way back when it first came out, but it's completely definitive. It's a great set, and definitely a keeper - well especially at this price!

Italian Job (Now only £2.99)

Edward Scissorhands (Now only £2.99)

Shawshank Redemption (Now only £2.99)

Hah - this DVD is always on offer. But that doesn't stop it being a fantastic deal! Once again there is actually a more definitive edition, but I'm not sure how worthwhile it is. In fact I've heard the 3-disc edition actually recycles a lot of the content in the documentaries and things, so this 2-disc version could be the one to get.

Sleepy Hollow: Special Edition (Now only £2.99)
Or at least it should be - the site is currently showing £4.99. Keep an eye on this one.

Sister Act (Now only £2.99)
*gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasp!*

Get Carter - the good one (Now only £3.99)

Wild Hogs (was £13.99 now only £6.99)

Stranglehold on the Xbox 360 (was £49.99 now only £17.99)

Ok so this isn't a DVD, but so what? Nothing wrong with a bit of variation. Anyway this is all done with the involvement of John Woo, and is actually really pretty funny and a good laugh. I may have bought this before but didn't really want to pay full price for a game that is essentially just a bit of fun fluff. But now that it's on sale it could be worthwhile!

That's it from me for now guys - check back soon for some awesome previews of upcoming releases!
