This Sunday's Telegraph also has two free movie DVDs inside it-Cabaret and The Fourth Protocol

Sunday Telegraph next week has a DVD of the Sean Penn movie 'The Assassination of Richard Nixon' free
This gets 7.2 on IMDB too so one of the better films given away with papers.
Here starts thread #2 with a quick recap of this weekends freebies:
The Mail on Sunday Pet Shop Boys CD...any way to rip this using wmp or soemthing else? Juts want to play it on my phone but it comes with some form of protection on it & a program to take you to HMV to buy the new album. Cheers for any advice...
Ripped in iTunes for me - also looks OK in CDEx which I use sometimes. The HMV stuff is just additional software which launches when you put the CD in - it's track 12 as a data track - but apart fgrom that tracks 1-11 should rip fine. There is no copy protection on the CD, it's just that the autoplay takes over from the usual menu.

Another vote for CDex here. Very easy to use bit of software which I use for my cheapo mp3 player.
Thanks for the info spirit & marcburrage82, I'll try this cdex stuff later. Appreciate your advice. Cheers again:-)

The PSB CD is not protected. Just hold the shift key down when you insert the CD for a few seconds and that will stop the autorun program. Then you should be able to rip using any program you like.
CD ripped nicely to my phone now, thanks again. Downloaded CDEX & did it that way, wierdly though, when I inserted the CD just to play it again this AM from the PC, WMP picked it up straight away & offered to rip it as per normal:thinking::shrug:
No worries, got what I need & thanks to you 3 chaps for the assistance:thumbs:
:?: Er, why this new thread? Do threads implode when they reach 1000 posts?
The unfortunate thing is now all the subscriber links have been broken to what was clearly a very popular thread and people will have to search to find this thread and either manually re-subscribe or post something themselves to restore them. Inevitably many people will miss new postings now.
There could have been a change of title if really necessary to "Free DVDs etc..." - but is it necessary? The original thread was principally about DVDs (and CDs) because these are The DVD Forums and (unless I am wildly mistaken) the discs are the most interesting freebies to members.
Something is given away every day in one paper or another. If you want to know about the free sunglasses/seed packets/chocolate bar/dinosaur poster/puzzle magazine there is A N Other forum where they are meticulously listed.
The 1000 posts rule is a mods rule not mine, I think it allows the servers to run smoother. This is a bargain thread and as the last version of the thread proved there are a lot more things given away in newspapers and a title change makes sense to me :)

Certainly on occasion other things were mentioned but the point of the thread was to list freebie discs. It was a service for DVD collectors, not people out for any free tat. I have nothing against a 2nd thread replacing the first but I don't think its emphasis should be changed to something as vague as things. Indeed, as you aren’t listing any other things as yet what are the criteria for inclusion?

Isn't this a bit overly-dramatic? As you pointed out, there have been no links to or mentions of "free tat" yet (except by you). And the idea that DVD collectors are holding off buying the latest bluray because they're waiting for the 4:3 aspect ratio DVD version to be given away free with the Mail is just :nuts:
I'd guess that as been as it's a bargain forum the "criteria for inclusion" is whether someone thinks it's a bargain.
Just because it's free that doesn't make it tat. Frankly some of the DVDs given away of late at been very taty.
Sunday Telegraph next week has a DVD of the Sean Penn movie 'The Assassination of Richard Nixon' free
Unfortunately you have to send £1.99 or an SAE with £1.45 in stamps to get it. Could be the commercial release, tho', as they're trying to get you to buy other titles at £8 each.

What is with the "n00bs" ****? Quality is more important than quantity when it comes to post counts, sunshine.

Lifted the Sunday Times earlier and only got back into the house, where's the CD hidden :thinking:
I guess it's meant to be in the bundle of mags wrapped in plastic?
mine was. For me its one of the best freebies I've had (apart from the Prince album a couple of years back) :thumbs:

The brilliant Heathers DVD with the Observer next Sunday
The brilliant Heathers DVD with the Observer next Sunday
Heathers is a great film. and of course i bought it three months ago :shrug:
Took a while to track down this thread! Shows how freebies have gone through a bit of a barren spell.
However, when I picked up my Sunday Times this morning, I was lured into getting The Mail On Sunday for the free Queen CD polybagged with it. Has live versions of:
- We Will Rock You/Let Me Entertain You/Killer Queen/Bicycle Race/I'm In Love With My Car/Get Down, Make Love/Now I'm Here/'39/Keep Yourself Alive/Don't Stop Me Now along with four tracks from the original cast recording of the "We Will Rock You" musical.
Of course, you only see that they are live versions once you've bought it/opened it, as it doesn't seem to say it elsewhere. I was slightly disappointed that it wasn't the original studio recordings but I'm sure they'll be quite good anyway...
I think only us Queen fans knew it was all live material.
For me, the inclusion of "I'm In Love With My Car", noticing the other songs were all from the 1970's and the cover art looking very akin to their "Live Killers" album was the big give-away!
However, I gather the tracks have been re-mastered and the tracks show the band at the height of their live prowess when they truly did rule the world!
As a fan, it's actually quite a change for the band NOT to re-release the same old studio versions over and over again...
Unfortunately, and I know I'm being a cynical old Queen fan with years of experience (!), if this release brings a new generation of fans, it will just give the band a reason to re-release their Greatest Hits albums all over again and not release anything diferent. :brickwall
I did assume it was a live CD; as you say, the cover is virtually Live Killers.
I don't think they actually mentioned it though - A friend was complaining about the release when he heard about it, feeling they were too big for this and that it cheapened them. I don't think he realised it was live. As I said to him, I suspect they have just about reached saturation point with their established audience so they have nothing to lose, and as you say pootle, it may well introduce them to newcomers. So I'd say its win/win, or at least no loss/win! ;)
Perhaps slightly naughty to not mention it was live though, for those who don't know the album covers.
Oh, and I don't think anyone has mentioned yet that Gavin & Stacey Series One is in The Sun from tomorrow, an episode a day. Collect at Tesco.
Isnt it amazing that Queen can still churn out the old stuff almost 20yr after mercury died?

Sunday telegraph 7th June. 2 DVDs free. Reach for the Sky and In Which We Serve. Kenneth Moore & Noel Coward classics.
Next Sunday - June 14th - Withnail & I comes as a free DVD with every issue of the Sunday Times (unless some light-fingered herbert has got to your copy first!).
A poor choice - a cult film which all fans will already have and is unlikely to appeal to the average Sunday Times reader!

Dont know for definite as the "card" was missing from my copy of the Times, had to e-mail to advise them, but I imagine yes.
The live tracks are from the new album (http://www.thedvdforums.com/affiliatelink.php?localaffiliateid=10&url=http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=280;1;-1;-1;-1&sku=282057) due to be released on the 26th Oct
Ok, I've got mine. It's five tracks from the new album, and five tracks from the (IMHO) awful last live album they did. The tracks are as follows :
Losing My Religion (Dublin)
Man On The Moon (Dublin)
The One I love (Dublin)
Orange Crush (Dublin)
(Don't Go Back To) Rockville (Dublin)
Pretty Persuasion (Olympia)
Man-Sized Wreath (Olympia)
Mr. Richards (Olympia)
Wolves, Lower (Olympia)
I've Been High (Olympia)
Judging by this - the new Live album will be superb. I prefer to imagine the Dublin album never existed though.
It is. But if you are a real fan, own the last album and will get the next one the £1.50 on The Times is possibly not worth it.
They'r releasing another live album ??!

Free DVD: Jack the Ripper starring Michael Caine
Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning Jack the Ripper, starring Michael Caine and Jane Seymour, is free inside The Telegraph on Saturday, October 31, 2009.
The brutal murders committed by Jack the Ripper in London’s East End shocked the Victorian world. On the teeming streets of Whitechapel, prostitutes were being torn to pieces by a killer who vanished in the shadows, time after time.
Why did Queen Victoria send worried telegrams to the Prime Minister? Who ordered vigilantes onto the streets of London? Why was there so little evidence?
Leading the huge manhunt was one of Scotland Yard’s finest detectives – Inspector Frederick Abberline, played by Michael Caine.
Dont miss your free Jack the Ripper DVD inside your Telegraph on Saturday, October 31, 2009.
Takes amazing liberties with me Uncle Fred as a character (was not an alcoholic, and actually married Emma Beament (who the Jane Symour character 'Emma Prentiss' is sort of based on) a decade before the Ripper murders, but still an entertaining version of events.

You can "relive Blur's sell-out summer gigs with a free 10-track live CD, featuring classics such as She's So High, Parklife and Song 2. Plus, access to unseen photos and the story behind the band's reunion."
Sounds interesting... the cover of the CD says "Live 2009" so it's definitely stuff from this year (rather than a repackage of earlier live stuff).
More free Blur... in this coming weekend's Sunday Times (Nov 29th) there's a free iTunes card allowing the holder to download five free Blur songs recorded during their sell-out summer tour, including Coffee and TV, There's No Other Way, and For Tomorrow.

I bought the Telegraph yesterday for the DVD and was really disappointed at how poor it was. PQ was terrible in a number of places - I've done better conversions of flash clips taken from the web, onto DVD, so not sure how they managed to get it so wrong for a (sort of) commercial release. Also, nothing more than Universal have had on their site for ages promoting the opening of WWoHP. I guess good for those who've not seen any of that stuff though...
Still, I was pleasantly surprised by the newspaper itself... been ages since I've read the Saturday edition and it was a lot better than I remember it.

CD of Carly Simon's new album Never Been Gone free inside the Mail on Sunday next Sunday(28th)
This coming Saturday (March 27th) The Times has a free download via iTunes of a free 10-track Massive Attack album that the band themselves have put together. There'll be the normal giftcard in with the magazines I guess, with the relevent unique code on it...
Just a bump on the Massive Attack freebie. Not checked it out on iTunes yet for exactly what's included, but an email I had last night from The Times said the album was "entitled Selected, includes collaborations with Blur, Portishead and Manic Street Preachers, along with Paradise Circus from their new album, Heligoland, and Danny the Dog, a track from the film of the same name. These are the songs that Massive Attack want you to hear this weekend, and they’re all free."
There's also a competition in the newspaper for five people to win: The Massive Attack album back catalogue, A signed, limited edition copy of Heligoland on vinyl and CD, An additional 12inch with four new tracks, A booklet with exclusive artwork and photography. So The Times is a worthwhile sounding purchase today for fans of the band...
Massive tunes: Guide to your free tracks
1 Butterfly Caught Hypnotic incantations and fluttering breakbeats suggest 100th Window needs another listen.
2 Angel (Blur Mix) Damon Albarn’s bizarre, minimalist take on the 1998 trip-hop classic.
3 Live with Me (Stripped Back) Supremely cool after-hours lament with bluesy vocals from veteran soulman Terry Callier.
4 Karmacoma (Portishead version) Already 10,000 leagues under, the Protection fave is taken even deeper.
5 Teardrop (Radio Edit) Liz Fraser’s exquisite vocal and the foetal pulse that cocoons her still defy resistance.
6 False Flags Non-LP rarity, full of plangent political angst.
7 Paradise Circus (Gui Boratto remix) The new album’s sexiest song gets a gliding overhaul.
8 Inertia Creeps (Manic Street Preachers mix) Demonic fretwork by James Dean Bradfield supersizes the 1998 single.
9 Danny the Dog Evocative instrumental from their soundtrack to the eponymous movie.
10 Radiation Ruling the Nation Mad Professor’s inspired dub version of the 1995 classic Protection uses Tracey Thorn’s original vocal as an instrument in itself.

Tomorrow's Mail on Sunday has a free Phil Collins CD inside... tracks are In The Air Tonight/You Can't Hurry Love/I Missed Again/Sussudio/One More Night/Another Day in Paradise/I Wish It Would Rain Down/If Leaving Me Is Easy/Do You Remember/This Must Be Love/Take Me Home/Something Happened On The Way To Heaven.
No indication of that... looks like it's gonna be standard original studio versions. Not a bad little collection of the ex-drummer's bigger hits...
Another reason, if any were needed, not to buy the Mail on Sunday.
