SACD & DVD-Audio Bargains

Hi, I just checked my George Harrison order, it is with Moviemars from the USA. I am sure I have had stuff from them without problems in the past.
I will let you know how I get on.

Please do, would be nice to have it confirmed so I can pop an order in for that one also.

Grant Lee Phillips 'Mobilize' hybrid stereo SACD from Amazon Canada for £17.40 delivered. I got mine within three days! Not sure whether it's really a bargain at that price but I suppose with the scarcity of many SACD titles it's all relative these days.

An update on the Roy Orbison 'Black & White Night' DVD & SACD package from Amazon.com. It's down to just over £10 including delivery to the UK.

Incidentally, the Blu-ray version is only $1.50 more expensive, for anyone who wants the high-res audio and video on a single disc.

Is the Video the same on the Blu ray as DVD or is it hi def?

An odd question (unless I've misunderstood it) but the Blu-ray video is 1080i with an aspect ratio of 1.78:1.

I'm not sure whether you actually can buy Blu-rays on which the main feature has 'low-def' video. Extra features are often in standard definition but that hardly makes the whole package 'low-def'.

I ordered the DVD with the SACD and it arrived today.
Thanks for pointing it out as it was a bargain.

Glad to hear it. There seems to be a resurgence of interest in this thread and it is most welcome. The benchmark for a 'bargain' is a bit lower in the world of SACD and DVDA collection but it's still useful to spot rare titles etc at less than extortionate prices.
