This just in, CeX sell cheap blu-rays

In other breaking news, DFS are having a sale

MKV is NOT a compression format, MKV is a container.

Any good prices on the batman series :smiley:

Good find op :smirk:

Thought I'd give CEX another chance and filled a basket of cheapies.
In my experience, MM are far better in terms of the quality of the item and any after-sales.
If you were only looking at buying one item that postage charge instantly kills any chance of being competitive. The prices aren't usually any cheaper than MM/eBay, and I'm pretty sure I've seen the 50p items at MM for less than that postage charge alone.

Try and get a refund . I spent £20 kept 2 at£ 7.50 and they could work out the refund I got home they emailed me 3 recipt that I of the lad in the shop couldn't even read for £11 ...??????...... that obviously why they work in cex
there one thing cex is good for and that is price match so I can get more from game

Ordered 9. Good bargains to be had if you hunt around. Just hoping they arrive in reasonable condish.

It's always a bit of a gamble with cex I find :smiley:

Your spot on with the streaming/home media comparison but I don't agree with your point about audio CDs being superior. You have digital types like FLAC and WAV which are just as equal if not better than the original source plus not forgetting about upscaling techniques you can apply when ripping to a computer for example.

They never said anything about 1080p blu ray better than 4k streaming, also what they said about CD/vinyl is right, why you mention lossless formats is beyond as they're not even available from iTunes and the like. So you would have to buy the 'CD' and rip it in FLAC yourself

Huh?!?
The price on the website is the price in store. Always has been.
The only time you'd experience different is if the store hadn't got around to re-labelling the boxes and then, if you can prove the price on the website, they will match.

I checked the Watford stock before I popped out at lunchtime, and whatever was listed on the website was the same price in store. Wasn't going to buy crap for the sake of it though.

Just spent a largely fruitless half hour trying to find positive IMDb reviews for any of these titles. I'm ashamed of myself.

Looks like the 'straight to video' description of sh1t movies should now be replaced with 'straight to 10p trade in at CEX'. 10p trade in...surely pride wouldn't let you trade in anything for 10p!

Both sterling and culture.

Or worse..

Don't you just love when people analyse a deal, "DVD and Blu Ray are a dying format, check this link...." Get a life. Me, I just love a good deal, so hot from me. It's easy, if you don't think it's a good deal, just vote cold without the inane comments.

Wow, sterling really has fallen to an all time low

I agree you will never stream over the internet high quality blu ray. However more and more people are ripping blu rays using things like handbrake, makemkv, anydvd, to a hard drive or nas. Then of course you can stream from your home nas. Using Kodi/Openelec/LibreELEC/Plex/ The quality, might not be exactly blu ray, but it will be pretty close.

MKV is NOT a compression format, MKV is a container.

they are not as good, but good enough for 95% of consumers.

Great Price! purchasing now :smiley:

Sime nice deals there, voted hot!

My 2 pence on the blu ray vs digital debate.

For pure picture and sound quality - blu ray disc > blu ray rip download > 1080p streaming

For the on the go, mobile lifestyle of a lot of people nowadays - 1080p streaming > 1080p download > blu ray disc

Same for 4k.

I believe physical will die out eventually once streaming quality is at the same level. In my opinion it probably won't be for at least 20 years, until everyone has a fast enough internet connection, the streaming sites stream in the full quality the movie was actually shot in and/or some other format is invented.

I would not personally say Blu Ray is a dying format, granted more people are streaming than ever, the same as more people are buying compressed music formats, however there will always be audiophile and videophile fanatics out there.

As for your comment on 4K streaming vs 1080P Blu Ray, you are partially correct, 4K streaming is marginally better than 1080P Blu Ray. Whilst 4K adopts a more efficient H265 Codec than H264 the streaming quality on the likes of Netflix has been proven to be marginally better at best, and obviously in the sound department still only is Dolby Digital Plus.

The same as with 1080P PPV streams in comparison to Blu Ray, 4K streams fall significantly short in comparison to UHD Blu Ray...another 'dead' format.

I find it somewhat amusing with the hype surrounding such crap as LED Backlit 4K televisions which technically are not the best for displaying 4K source materia,l being sold cheaply to the masses who will never buy a UHD Blu Ray player, and have no reference material to make the most of their substandard 4K panels anyway.


Whilst I have adopted FLAC myself over NAS to my AV Receivers the only advantages I get over CD (unless I get any 24 Bit masters) is convenience. I do at times get annoyed (same with streaming video) with rewind/fast forward sluggishness or freezes.


I have become annoyed that FOX have stopped releasing several of its shows now on Blu Ray in favour of streaming and puzzlingly we have a general public wanting the best in sound and vision yet are quite happy to buy the source for it, yet do not want to get the best out of it.

Streaming has its pluses, but at the same token is also taking us a step backwards, at least until the bandwidth is there to rival physical media, we have not even got that far with Blu Ray.....and with a new physical format in UHD Blu Ray still are a long way off.

You'd have to pay me to watch most of those movies...., however, thanks OP. Someone might get an odd bargain or 10.

It's strange how this deal has went so hot. it's like people didn't know that they have been selling blu-rays for as cheap as this for years on their website. Just a pity they don't sell them for 50 pence or a pound in their actual shops.

Rental and owning is a completely different thing....

Whilst I don't disagree with most of what you say... Vinyl was "dead".....

now its at the 28 year high for sales...

http://fortune.com/2016/04/16/vinyl-sales-record-store-day/

physical sales will always exist... its human nature to want to own and keep physical items.

Digital is here to stay but I believe more and more physical and digital dual selling will just get bigger and bigger..

Blu-Ray with HD copies online and Vinyl/CD with DL codes and Books with codes....

its already a thing and itll get bigger.

That's actually an urban myth, your video and DVD vendor was in fact a man called Raphael Ravenscroft.

Can I have a P please Bob?
I used to get all my videos and DVDs from Bob Holness.

But be quick if you want to get sale prices at DFS, I've just an advert that says the sale ends this Monday.

Tell that one to Blockbusters

We are currently in the odd situation where illegal downloads can be full Blu-ray video and audio quality (for example a 40 ish gb uncompressed rip with DTS-HD sound) which by definition is exactly as good as the Blu-ray, but if you want to pay for a legal download you have to compromise on quality. With a very large number of people on fast broadband with unlimited downloads taht shouldn't need to be the case. Plus new compression formats could cut that down by almost half and retain the quality.

100% correct, i buy blu rays to watch on my projector and 7.1 surround sound, there is no comparision bewteen a blu ray's quality and streaming version's

Picked up Keith Lemon the Film

Was looking for new and creative ways to torture the poor souls I keep in my dungeon.

Perfect, and for 50p too!

I love this please do some research first and then gets it wrong! Blu ray is currently 50GB with 25GB per layer. Current format only allows 2160p but there are Quad Layers coming with 128GB (just about hitting the market now), called Blur Ray XL.

Compression formats such as MKV are lossless, and many people are now ripping their collection onto HDD and then selling their discs on Ebay. The issue being the physical size of a large disc collection, and the ease of locating media from a menu as opposed to a library.

In more 'recent' news, Poundland sell chocolate for £1

Blue Valentine at £1 is worth a watch; great film although not the most lighthearted....

Blue Valentine Bluray

LMAO! so true though :smile:
