DVD Steak

Darkplace’s spin-off, Man To Mean With Dean Learner which featured Garth’s manager and publisher the “smut-peddling” Dean Learner interviewing a number of guests in his “swanky” appartment is now available on DVD so rejoice good people!

Play.com and Amazon are now head to head. With everyone fleeing Jersey now they are no longer VAT exempt prices have been fiddled around with and Play.com are selling it for a penny more than Amazon. But you need to make a £15 order on Amazon to quality for free delivery.

The 7th series of Will & Grace will arrive in the U.S. on December 4th according to TV Shows on DVD. DVD Empire are now taking pre-orders on it, interestingly enough though, Amazon are not.

If you haven’t seen The Shawshank Redemption, now is the time. The DVD is absolute budget (I picked it up for £3 in Tesco, Play.com are telling it for a similar price) and it’s a kick ass film - it has Morgan Freeman in, what more can you possibly want from a film? (I know, I know, Kevin Spacey as well but we can only dream ;)).

In terms of extras the disk isn’t completely stripped. It has a trailer, interviews with the cast and crew including Tim Robbins and Morgan. There is also a featurette which is like an hour long.

It’s time to stock up your DVD collection - Play.com have already announced their sales and no doubt other online and high street retailers will be following suite soon. Virgin have been doing £4.99 DVDs (and good titles that should actually be more than that normally, not the crap that is usually that price) for a while now.

The Channel Island of Jersey (who’s existence is still in debate) is introducing VAT which means bad things for Play.com (and indeed Amazon Jersey) who may be forced to raise their awesomely low prices to cover the additional costs.

Rejoice good people, the first series of Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace is finally coming to DVD! We are still in for a long wait but Play.com are now accepting pre-orders. It’s priced at £13.99 and scheduled to arrive on March 26th next year.

EDIT: Actually, it’s available now! Go! Go order it now!

On September 4th, Silent Hill arrives on DVD in the UK. That’s awesome. Because Silent Hill was a great movie and I would highly recommend it.

Underworld: Evolution is set for a 19 June release date. However the list of extras is not looking particularly extensive. Unless they just haven’t announced them yet. Let’s hope for that. Even though they have already released cover art.

IGN have artwork of the upcoming new releases of the original Star Wars trilogy. They look pretty snazzy although I think the full screen ones look slightly better than the widescreen ones and who buys full screen? :p. Ah well, see what you think.

Aeon Flux is due to be released on May 22nd and includes no less than two audio commentaries and loads of featurettes.
