    Get yourself a 10% voucer and a free DVD (todays is Mona Lisa Smile) by going here and putting in the password SUNMONA and your contact details.
    Might want to get your skates on though as it will change tomorrow.

    Just ordered a heap of games for the next 3 months and used the 10% voucher to get myself a nice discount . As far as i remember Play dont charge your card till they ship either.

    Cool thanks for that. Feel free to post the new password tomorrow :)
    You may know better than me from the paper but the graphic doesn't look like Mona Lisa Smile with Julia Roberts...something else called Mona Lisa maybe (maybe Neil Jordan)? I dunno.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    heh. not surprised they're giving that **** away :D

    the 10% off part is tempting... but i wouldn't want that dvd sullying my collection.
    hopefully they give a better one tomorrow :confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,554 ✭✭✭herobear


    well, ye could just sell the free dvd no ?? or give it away as a gift to someone ye dont like :P

    Aye, that's the one. Bob 'Oskins driving Cathy Tyson around for tricks.

    Not bad actually. By the looks of the user comments on imdb, more than one person has mixed it up with the Julia Roberts flick.

    Cheers mbroaders & Neonitrix, free is good.

    Great stuff... I just cancelled 5 or 6 of the pre-orders I had on Play.com and put them through again with the 10% voucher giving me a saving of over STG£10.

    And I didn't even have to read the Sun... horay for Boards.ie!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,625 ✭✭✭✭okidoki987


    Nice one thanks!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,713 ✭✭✭✭jor el


    I think this offer is finishing today, there won't be another DVD tomorrow, so get it while you can. Crap film, but well worth the 10% voucher. I just ordered a few DVDs and CDs I'd been meening to get for a while. One other thing to note, and I'm sure it's been mentioned before, is leave the pricing in sterling. My total came to £42.27, which acording to xe.com's currency convertor is €62.81 but play would have charged me €67.80 in euro pricing, so I just saved €5 more.

    Thankee muchness

    Yes jor el is right leave it in sterling.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,625 ✭✭✭✭okidoki987


    Based on the figures above the Sterling amount of 42.27 at the "wholesale rate" of .6723 is 62.81 but if you pay by Credit Card you will find your rate will be approx .6550 which means a saving of around 1.70 Euro.
    Play's rate of .6235 is a complete rip off (7.8% margin against the CC's of about 3%).

    anyone know todays password?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 194 ✭✭Maeve


    Funny .. I tried this yesterday and all I got was an email about Viagra .. nothing from play.com at all.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,036 ✭✭✭garred


    anyone know todays password?


    Finished yesterday (only from mon-wed) = 3 films. Missed Mondays myself :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,161 ✭✭✭cubix


    IF these passwords are not readly available of the site, where do they start from?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,713 ✭✭✭✭jor el


    They gave the passwords out in The (Irish)Sun newspaper. Hmm, strange that the page on Play had Irish Sun and still expected you to enter a postcode. Why couldn't they just remove that bit?
    You can still get yesterday's DVD and 10% voucher at www.play.com/irishsunwed with password IRISHSUNPARIS. It's valid till the end of the day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,958 ✭✭✭Chad ghostal


    nice on jor'el :D:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 262 ✭✭r0chf0rt


    Did anybody ever receive their free dvd ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,382 ✭✭✭✭rubadub


    i never got mine. i entered it on the uk site (not irish sun). i put in a few email addresses and thought they had "banned" me for being greedy, but i thought one would come

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,713 ✭✭✭✭jor el


    Didn't get mine yet either, couldn't be bothered if it never arrives anyway. Paris Texas, uugh. It said to allow 28 days anyway so I'd guess nothing will arrive for another 2 weeks at least.
    Got my 10% off Battle Royale and a few other DVDs I was looking for so that's all I really cared about.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,958 ✭✭✭Chad ghostal


    nope didnt get mine either :rolleyes:
    must be the sun doing all of the posting :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41 marcowil


    I received my first DVD on Friday - am expecting two more hopefully


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,161 ✭✭✭cubix


    Still waiting :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 194 ✭✭Maeve


    Did you buy stuff on play.com or where you as stingy as me and just ask for the freebie ??

    Still waiting too :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users Posts: 145 ✭✭MF2HD


    I got 2 of them in the post this morning - the mona lisa and paris,texas.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,382 ✭✭✭✭rubadub


    got paris texas this morning too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 827 ✭✭✭Round Cable


    Got Mona Lisa and Paris Texas, along with two other DVD's I ordered with the 10% discount.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 246 ✭✭irishbigfoot


    Got my free DVD yesterday- Paris Texas in paper sleeve that freebies come in nowadays. Think the 10% discount expires today. Play.com are great for the prices of their foreign films- sometimes less than half the price of HMV/Tower.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,161 ✭✭✭cubix


    Just went for the freebie, as the saying goes "no free luches"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 71 ✭✭Quinnsey


    Did those who have recieved their DVD's order them on the Irish page or the UK one?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 317 ✭✭huh!


    I used the uk site, all arrived in Dublin.

    I haven't yet anyway


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,713 ✭✭✭✭jor el


    Isn't it supposed to arrive in 28 days? I'm up to 43 now and still no Paris Texas, whatever that is. I can't be arsed contacting them about it anyway as the DVD's I ordered with the 10% off arrived and that's all I really wanted.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,894 ✭✭✭Mr. Fancypants


    They only had a limited quantity and i think they had a message saying "While Stocks Last" or something like that. I got mine a couple of weeks ago anyhow. I only really wanted the 10% off.


    Probably shouldnt of ordered so many games though, i have Burnout 3, Outrun 2 and Rome Total War all at home now!
