The Arrow Thread

[SShaw]

Have to agree. Been burned too many times with problems requiring replacements and delays. As a result it is hard to get too excited about pre-order announcements. I am quite happy yo wait for titles to become available in their frequent sales. It's a shame as when they (eventually) get it right they do a good job and have some interesting titles.

[Edgeworth]

Im always behind, hoping for a December sale or even a black Friday one if were lucky.

I use to pre-order nearly everything for months whilst they were doing early bird offers. Get paid at the end of the month, order next months Arrow blus like clockwork. Shame there's no incentive now, I only pre-order the titles I really want now and it's always cheaper on Amazon, etc anyway. Pick the rest up in the sales.

[J Harker]

To be honest i just think they're too expensive. When 88films are regularly putting stuff out at seven or eight quid i just don't see why Arrow titles should be nearly double.

I agree, can't remember the last time I pre-ordered anything direct from Arrow

I've never been an Arrow fanboy, I've only ever bought the titles I'm interested in

Tell me who used to be first on here with every bit of news Arrow came out with?

Not recently, but last year.

I buy all their titles except for softcores, and well I still do, except I wait for sales now. I don't have the money to buy at full price, and I'd always end up buying right before a sale. They're so cheap during them I can get double the movies, so now I just wait.

That being said, something that really catches my eye that I think will sell out (Nekromantik, soon Thief), I preorder just to secure a copy

That would be me

But, I was doing that more for the members here than anything else, half of the films they'd announced (the De Palma/Erotica stuff) were never contenders for my collection, but I know some members here would appreciate it, especially those that don't use Facebook/Twitter, seeing as they abandoned us

Think Suzi has took on that role now

It's a dirty job but somebody's gotta' do it.

I understand Rik.
