This is a disgrace!!

[Hunter Rider]

I just went to order Mad Beyond Thunderdome on DVD from Play and they don't have it,as in it doesn't exist except as part of a trilogy pack

 

[CFE]

Why not save money for the trilogy then?

Mad Max is an acceptable series.

[Hunter Rider]

I have The Road Warrior and i don't like the first

 

[CFE]

oh I see...

[Speedball]

I can find it at the place I work.

Go to Amazon

 

[Hunter Rider]

Go to Amazon

Ok... my anger was premature......but dammit Play never usually lets me down

 

[jimmylace]

in all fairness its not exactly a movie in high demand....yeah amazon would be the best bet. lots of rarities on there...never been a fan of play.com really.

You know what's the stupidest thing that happens to me?

See I keep up online with release dates for DVDs. And as an admirer of older, lesser known films, I make a point to get them on DVD as well.

Well, Frys Electronics, for reasons that escape me, put out DVDs on the shelves prior to their release date. Now alot of other places around home like Best Buy and Barnes & Noble do the same thing. I mean on the shelves, you can hold it in your hand...and bring it to the register.

Now the other stores, they'll let you buy what you want if you have it in hand, and they are aware that the DVD you're purchasing is pre-official release.

But Frys...they don't...



If you take a DVD up to the register before it's official release date, Frys will tell you...to your face...that you cannot buy it at that time and that you have to wait until the official release date.

Just to clarify, you are AT THE REGISTER, with the DVD in your hand, and on that DVD is a barcode that can be scanned, followed by an exchange of money/credit for said DVD...and they will tell you no.

Even worse, they'll first ask where you got it.

"Um...where the f**k do you think I got it, I got it off of YOUR shelf!"

No joke. That's happened to me 10 times already.

Now I keep doing it just out of spite and to see the confused look on their faces because it pisses me off so much...

It's Absurd

I love Play-! I just ordered TMNT III, and it was only £2.99.

Correction; I just ordered TMNT III, because it was only £2.99.

It worked out well,i found a copy of Predator 2 at Amazon as well since play only stock the double pack

Ha! got the first TMNT there for the same price,now i await them getting "Peter Benchley's:The Beast"t:

That's so weird, I was just looking for the novel in my bedroom.

 

[Hunter Rider]

....Sadly they are only stocking Peter Benchley's Creature at the moment and for £7.98

 

[Kevin Roegele]

....Sadly they are only stocking Peter Benchley's Creature at the moment and for £7.98

And why is the movie called Creature when the novel is called White Shark?

 

[Joker]

Wait...you dont like the first mad max, but you like that atrocity Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome? You're crazy or stupid or both

Oh hell, Joker's gonna go ape s**t...lol.

But he's got a point. The first "Mad" is, at the very least, superior to "Thunderdome."

That is weird,still White Shark is an odd title since the thing ends up walking

Wait...you dont like the first mad max, but you like that atrocity Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome? You're crazy or stupid or both

i don't know if i like Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome,it's as easy to buy it for £4 as rent it so i can find out

Yeah, I was wondering the same...

i don't know if i like Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome,it's as easy to buy it for £4 as rent it so i can find out

...but this explains it. To me MMBT is like X3 or Batman Forever.

You can order the fcker from CDWOW: http://www13.cd-wow.com/detail_results_2.php?product_code=16419&subcat=region2

Considering retail chains can lose/have shipments of product delayed or worse, lose the rights to sell from a particular studio period and/or face serious fines, I find what you said to be hard to believe, or very exaggerated.

The products come in boxes CLEARLY MARKED new release, and I even believe the register will prompt if a product is scanned that hasn't been released yet.

Fry's has every right to not sell you something. They are not bound to do so. As said, they could face serious consequences if they violate street date.

You're cool, Gabe, but your hate for Thunderdome is nonsense. So what if there's kids in the movie? They are important to the story!

 

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Yeah, how can you like Road Warrior and Beyond Thunderdome and not like Mad Max? That's like liking Empire and Return but not liking Star Wars. It's totally illogical.

I don't know if i like Thunderdome yet and there's nothing illogical about disliking a movie

Mad Max and Thunderdome are almost completely different movies.
