Same brother.

I noticed when I was in HMV briefly (not one I frequent admittedly), but they had from the Sony CE range; Das Boot, Stand By Me, Gandhi, Boyz N The Hood, Taxi Driver and River on the Kwai. They may have only had one or two of each mind, unless there was more in the back as it looked like a display shelf. I've already got Stand By Me, Gandhi and Boyz - all of which I love. I'm yet to see the others mind, and would probably rather wait to see if I enjoy them before spending money on them understandably I think, even coming from someone who occasionally blind buys.

Hopefully, another HMV I plan to visit tomorrow will have Lost In Translation (with slip) in the 2 for £15. I would absolutely love that.

Picked up, Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie, Dantes Peak, Casino & An American Werewolf in London for Buchanan Street in Glasgow.

Also got Poltergiest for £4.99 (£4.99 when you buy something else instore)

The Akira Steelbook? Wow, thats great. If I'm in an HMV this week I'll keep an eye out for that and Road to Perdition with slip (very clever design on that slip).

I think I might have to check out HMV again, I had Road to Perdition in my hand today. I was thinking about buying it just for the slip.

DaveSimonH · 10-20-2011, 02:51 AM

I'm usually not too bothered whether I get the slipcover with a blu or not, but I make the exception for really nice slips to pay a little extra instore to guarantee one.
I paid about £20 for my copies of Moulin Rouge and Romeo + Juliet, when I could have easily paid £15-£17 ordering online. I knew I wouldn't have been happy with slip-less versions

I was not happy when my Slip-less Romeo + Juliet arrived from Amazon UK..

Valo · 10-20-2011, 02:41 PM

These were also in the 2 for £15 in my HMV. £60 for the complete (current set) ain't half bad! Esp. when you're guarnteed they are the slipcover versions.

I was looking to buy Boyz n the Hood but couldn't figure out what else to buy... Then DaveSimonH mentioned the Road to Perdition slip and I remembered it's awesome! Gutted I totally overlooked buying it yesterday!

The HMV closest to me is 20 mile away and not worth driving just for those two. So I've ordered Road to Perdition off HMV, praying it comes with the slip!

I actually noticed Romeo and Juliet was in the 2 for £15 yesterday but it was slipless, bit crappy cause I'd love it with the slip.

THunter · 10-20-2011, 04:48 PM

Just bought Lost In Translation and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, both with slips, in the 2 for £15.

I am absolutely over the moon with them. The HMV I bought them from is really small, and so held out very little hope for them to even have one, but both, and in the 2 for £15 as rumoured too is just a major bonus!

They look lovely. They're both 1080p too, which might be worth mentioning as I think I've read many complain about Momentum releasing Blu-rays in 1080i.

Sky_Captain · 10-20-2011, 05:12 PM

All of the Momentum releases I've seen in this batch, as ports of the US transfers and even have menus that look ripped off from whatever studio released whatever film, stateside.

THunter · 10-21-2011, 12:15 PM

Here's Lost In Translation and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind:

[Show spoiler]

GrinwithoutaKat · 10-21-2011, 04:29 PM

No Amelie/Eternal Sunshine/From Dusk Till Dawn in HMV Swansea. I asked and they said it was to each individual store's discretion which titles were included. I've asked my brother to check in Cardiff for me.

I did pick up Sucker Punch (which I really wanted anyway) and The Kids Are All Right (I know it's £7.50 on Amazon, but there's not many blu-rays I really want, and it was either that or Leon, which is even cheaper!)

Yami · 10-21-2011, 04:42 PM

Could always try and tell Amazon that an HMV store have it for £7.50. Doubt it will work but there's always a chance.

welshgeeza · 10-23-2011, 02:44 PM

I just picked up Clerks and The Sixth Sence

nightcrawler · 10-23-2011, 05:12 PM

Finally got around to popping in my nearest HMV today. Was hoping to pick up Cape Fear & Eternal sunshine...but they had neither

However, I did walk away with Cold mountain & The others

Ben_UK · 10-23-2011, 05:40 PM

I picked up Platoon and Taxi Driver in the offer.

RazorwireRyan · 10-23-2011, 05:42 PM

Got 3 of the Sony CEs and Raging Bull with slip, well happy! Would've LOVED to have gotten Lost in Translation/Eternal Sunshine though...two of my favourite movies, didn't see 'em in Cardiff

Lithoniel · 10-23-2011, 06:04 PM

Just come back from HMV Leeds City Centre, picked up Eternal Sunshine (Was stickered at £18 in the normal section) but 2 for £15 in the promo bays, and Amelie which I was suprised to see any copys left!

The Akira steelbook wasn't in the offer, but it was £12.99

huntauk · 10-23-2011, 06:39 PM

Some real weird ones in my local - Witchfinder General and Suspiria. Already have the latter, almost grabbed Witchfinder but put it back as I've spent enough on blus this month and probably wouldn't watch it for months.
