[matt_james27]

Did a good search on the forums to make sure this ain't a dupe thread.

Amazon have reduced their previous price for the boxset by £8 ( i think ) it is now priced at £37.99, its still on for £44.99 on Play and £47.99 at hmv.co.uk

The boxset is released on 18th oct, NOT TOO LONG NOW!! :luv:

Same price at CD-Wow (http://tracker.tradedoubler.com/click?p=3128&a=60823&g=17349&url=http://www.cd-wow.com/detail_results_2.php?product_code=13540).

Cheers. Been wanting to order this after trying to watch it on Ch4/E4 and failing. Seems to move times and is cut too.

Pretty good price too, even compared to R1 which is about £32 at DVD Soon (http://www.dvdsoon.com/index.xml?partner_id=10040) but with the chance of customs on top.

Plus a voucher I had that needed using brought it down to under £35.00 :)

Fantastic. Had it on pre order at play for £44.99, but thats obviously gonna get cancelled. Will get it just in time before season 2 starts on 4th Nov in the states. :thumbs:

I'm loving this series. Is it really cut on C/E4?

[kat23]

I'm loving this series. Is it really cut on C/E4?
From what I have read yes it is. Don't know how much or anything.
I think it is mainly some jokes/language not suitable for 2:30 in the afternoon.
And I think some drug taking references have been toned down/removed, again due to time of transmission. And from what I have read the late night E4 showing (usually after midnight I think) is still the same cut.

Hasn't stopped me enjoying it though. I just keep forgetting what time it is on and which is the last episode I have seen :lol:

[Ugg]

also on E4 its billed as season 1 and season 2 wheras its just a single season shown in america. whats up with that? E4/CH4 dont have the money to buy the whole season all at once? and so have to fob us off with a "lite" version. despite the fact its been cut to pieces people in the uk can still enjoy this show due to a great cast and storyline.

cheers to the OP ive just ordered myself a copy.

What ratio is the R2 set in?

[kat23]

Both R1 and R2 are in 4:3

As for the lite version, I got the impression that it was 1 season though originally com****ioned for 13 epsiodes (or how ever many they showed) and was then picked up for the rest. Which kind of explains the splitting.

[nsb]

4:3???

Why????

[platform14]

Just came to post this; Cancelled my Play order, but I suspect they'll drop the price soon...

Go Amazon! All Pre-Ordered.

[welshmatt]

4:3 has really put me off this. It looks great in Widescreen.

[steford]

Haven't missed one thanks to Tivo but not sure I need to see it all again on DVD though. Peter Galagher is a star I reckon, his missus is gorgeous, Seth Cohen has some great lines (as they all do except Ryan), Jim Robinson in there too and a fight at a party every other episode. You can't go wrong with this series.

[kat23]

The people behind the O.C. say that 4:3 is (and always was) the intended ration for season 1 (I think they have changed to w/s for season 2). It was filmed in w/s but meant to be seen in 4:3, though I believe was widescreen on a hidef channel in the US.

[nsb]

Yea , most of the season 1 i have is in widescreen, and its gonna be a nightmare watching this in 4:3 now. Ah well, if there is no chance of a widescreen release, i may aswell stick with this

[matt_james27]

I think I might actually wait for this one to go cheaper, I've still got to buy Alias season 3, lack of funds :( Wondering if like the Alias Boxsets on Amazon this will drop price in a few months. Alias tended to drop from £35 to £20 after a few months from release annoying because there's always the temptation to buy them as soon as really which I end up regretting because they're quite expensive. Then again I love The OC!! I hate being a poor student :(

[matt_james27]

Rumour has it that the boxset IS in widescreen according to a forum user on the digital spy forums. Can anyone confirm this? Thnx.

[steford]

Seemed to be a few more drug references in last nights episode on E4. Uncut?

Wooo hooooo!!! Just ordered through Amazon..... cheers for this one guys.... also went for the soundtrack and Roony's album too!!! :o)

[the Gimp]

Now, if only Amazon would get round to shipping the thing.

[charlie angel]

I just flipped an episode on - looks 4:3 to me.

Yes - Exactly my problem! Pre-ordered this time last tuesday, still not been dispatched, the £ is still in my account too!

Not when customs and Royal Mails handling fees are added on top :(

Would be great for people who are off to the US for holidays though.

I guess it's not in widescreen after all :(
Still a boxet is a boxset, and this is a must, going to be patient and wait for a price-drop, hopefully!

CD-Wow (http://tracker.tradedoubler.com/click?p=3128&a=60823&g=17349) are customs free now - they mailed me & told me that in the unlikely event of a charge, they'd refund it in E-vouchers.

[Matthew Godfrey]

Can anyone else confirm CDWow do not insist you pay any customs/handling charges you may incur?

[kat23]

The situation is as Charlie has stated above. Packages are delivered through Europe now so no customs. And if by some freak it does get a charge they will refund as vouchers.

There is a thread in the suppliers about it all: here (http://www.thedvdforums.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=294438)
