Bond bargain

On November 14th, the James Bond: Complete Collection box set is being re-released in the UK, containing all 20 films so far... all for only £66.99 at HMV. At such a low price (the RRP is £199.99, meaning that this constitutes a saving of £133), I'm semi-tempted to buy a copy. I'm hardly the world's biggest Bond fan, but there are a few titles (especially the two Timothy Dalton ones) that I wouldn't mind owning, and, while I understand that a couple of the later titles are cut in the UK, these films aren't exactly up to snuff anyway so I probably wouldn't be particularly bothered. We'll see. Might make a neat Christmas present.

Update, 12:25 on Tuesday, November 01, 2005: HMV's price has now gone up to £129.99. At that price, I won't bother.

  • I have a feeling that it would just be cheaper to get the title you wanted and leave the rest. And this is coming from a medium-core Bond fan.

  • Well, I would probably want a few of them. It might work out cheaper - I don't know. It depends on how many I'd be interested in. Personally I couldn't care less about the most of the Roger Moore or later Pierce Brosnan entries, but I'm curious to watch the Sean Connery outings, most of which I haven't seen.

  • Forget Roger Moore entirely, and the latter two Brosnans. As for Connery, go for Goldfinger and From Russia with Love.
