Bargain Alert: Network Halloween DVD Sale This WeekendUK DVD company Network (a name well known to spy fans) is having a Halloween sale this weekend. (At least I think it's a Halloween sale... but it's couched in what appear to be British sitcom references that go way over the head of this American.) They bill this as their last sale of 2010, so don't expect another one before Christmas. (However, I'd be willing to bet we'll see their annual winter sale at the end of January.) It's a good sale: 35% off the already discounted prices on pretty much their entire inventory, excluding pre-orders and recent releases. (The fine print also gives Network the right to exclude whatever they feel like excluding, but that doesn't seem to be very much as far as I can tell.) For American spy fans with multi-region DVD players, be aware that the company's usual overseas shipping caveat applies with a hefty £40 surcharge on orders over a certain weight. But if recent sales are any indication, this is easily avoidable by ordering your items seperately. If you want to get a huge set, it might kick in though.
Network has churned out a steady flow of amazing spy releases over the summer. This is a great opportunity to pick up many of those DVDs and soundtrack CDs cheaply. Some to consider (although I haven't checked all of these to see if any might be excluded): The Saint: Original Soundtrack (review here), The Zoo Gang: Original Soundtrack (review here), Codename: Kyril (review here), The Corridor People: The Complete Series (review here), Saracen: The Complete Series (review here), The Four Just Men, Mr Palfrey of Westminster, The Protectors: The Complete Series, The Prisoner: The Ultimate Set or any of Network's many other spy DVDs or impressive ITC series soundtracks. International buyers, please be aware that all of Network's DVDs are PAL Region 2 releases, and you need a multi-region player (or at least a computer equipped with the free software VLC Player) to watch them.
The sale runs through midnight (GMT, presumably) on Sunday.
