Question HELP an Old Fella Please

Trying to order a DVD ...........

Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban (Single Disc Edition) = £6:99

Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban (Two Disc Edition) = £17:99

Now, the difference is clearly that one has 2 discs, the other just 1.

But, why the HUGE difference in price? I can imagine that the 2 disc version has 'extras' ............... am I right?

And why pay for 'extras' when all you will ever do is watch the film??

Pete

Some extras are ok... but they wont ever be worth £11 of your pension. Harry Potter is available in both 4:3 and 16:9 formats so make sure that you dont inadvertantly buy a pan&scan... (which has been the cheaper of the early films).

Depends why you want it really and indepth with the film you want to get, and ultimatly if you want the "collectors" version.

The extra's wont be worth the extra money - they rarely are.

Oh and you can get it for 6.97 from Tesco's Jersey site - I know how you like to save every penny pete
