If you are a Woolworths Reward member you will end up only paying $10 for the DVD of Star Wars The Force Awakens.

Page 25 of the Woolworths catalogue starting on Wednesday April 13 features the Star Wars The Force Awakens DVD for $20. If you are a Woolworths Rewards member you will receive $10 in Woolworths Dollars which will then be deducted off your next Woolworths shopping transaction over $10. After this promotion, which ends on April 19, the product will increase in price to $28 and it is unlikely the Woolworths Dollars will continue after this date.

May the force be with you.

    How about Blu-ray?

        NOW you tell me! I've been playing my rental DVDs in reverse after I watch them all this time to avoid rewind fees. I thought they were worse than VHS because they took longer to rewind and stuttered.

          The final effective price for the DVD is $10, providing you are a Woolworths rewards member and make regular purchases from Woolworths.

          Chances are that the barcode for DVD and BR would be different, and the offer would only be tied to the DVD product barcode. They wouldn't be able to do much with the BR if it scans at full price.

        Yeah, digital followed a little too closely after bluray which is why bluray fell behind adoption. Still, anything that isn't HD should be destroyed

      The jump from VHS to DVD brought:
      * Increased picture quality
      * Increased audio quality
      * Additional audio channels (e.g. 5.1)
      * Non-linear navigation (Menus)
      * Chapters
      * No need to rewind
      * Multiple audio tracks
      * Toggle-able subtitle tracks
      * Optical storage (previously magnetic)
      * Digital data format (previously analogue)
      * Smaller form factor
      * DRM :(

      The jump from DVD to Blu-Ray brought:
      * Increased picture quality
      * Increased audio quality

      I appreciate the difference in quality, but I can understand why there is less motivation to upgrade this time around.

    Can this be done with a temporary WR card, the paper ones in the leaflets they have in store? I am pretty sure the reward can be accumulated, but can you redeem the reward without signing up?

    • [Deactivated] on 12/04/2016 - 09:48

      I don't think you can redeem rewards on the temporary cards but I suggest you check the terms and conditions first.

        Thanks. I just found the result online, the leaflets don't say anything much. "You can earn Woolworths Dollars using a temporary card, so you're building your balance from day one. However, you can't redeem your money off or get access to any other member benefits."

    I see the 'Bluray Hipster' crowd is out in Force today. First thanks to the OP for the deal, second some interesting stats from Roy Morgan - to the end of 2014, Australian households owned
    - DVD = 60%
    - VCR = 25%
    - Bluray = 23%

    So yep, less than two years ago more households had a VCR than a Bluray, whilst DVD players were more than twice as common as Bluray. So how about we drop the anti-DVD crap that seems to appear every time a DVD-only deal is posted?

    Source: http://www.roymorgan.com/findings/6250-obsolete-technology-n…

    • spackbace on 12/04/2016 - 17:17

      Selective quoting? That 60% figure is on a downward run, whereas the 23% is on the up. Add to that, it's a matter of ownership. Sure, a household could have a DVD player, doesn't mean they use it.

      Since the 2008 peak, over 800,000 homes got rid of (at least one) DVD player.

      Hey look, that 1 line makes my argument look better!

        Sure a household could have a bluray player, doesn't mean they use it.

        Yes there's an upward trend, but given that the figures are from late 2014 it's extremely hard to imagine that bluray would be anywhere near as popular as DVD. Overtaken VCR? Probably, yet they'd still be very close.

        • spackbace on 12/04/2016 - 17:36

          The fact is, any comments are made in the context of this site, this selective population. OzBargainers use Eneloops rather than standard batteries, SSD over standard HDD. They're typically at the almost-forefront of technology (not the absolute forefront, coz that's expensive!). Comments made about Blu-Ray vs DVD are taken in the context of this site. No one is doubting that people still own dvd players, and buy dvds. A lot of mum and dad blu-ray player buyers probably don't even have hdmi etc (just generalising here).

          So less of the high horse and realise where the comments/jokes are made, and in which context.

          @Spackbace: and do you have ANYTHING to back that up other than your opinion? Anything at all?

          I'm sure there are plenty of people here who like DVD and want to purchase them. Comments on a DVD-only deal of "DVD is crap I'd only buy this product on Bluray" are moronic. Who cares? You've added nothing to the discussion except for being a hipster and putting down people who enjoy DVD.

        • spackbace on 12/04/2016 - 17:49

        • spackbace on 12/04/2016 - 17:51

          @Captain Obvious:

          Oh, I see, we've hit a personal note. Maybe the fact that your DVD posts didn't hit front page, are enough to tell you that this community will only buy DVD if it's cheap? Like $10 for a new release cheap?

        • Captain Obvious on 12/04/2016 - 18:09

          @Spackbace: yep totally personal. I hijacked an independent research company's report from a few years ago. See I'm a time-traveler who only uses his powers to make a point on an Australian bargain forum.

          Also yes I'm using the term 'hipster' in it's correct context. Oh sorry, lol rofl lmfao etc etc.

          @Spackbace: I am "at the almost-forefront of technology". I don't use Eneloops (because my high-tech gizmos don't need batteries). I don't use an SSD, because I have no need for its differences whatsoever, and I don't own a Blu-Ray player. (There's not really a sufficient increase in quality for me to be care, and its other "benefits" are, for me, actually drawbacks.)

          I will give you one bit of credit, for your remark about comments being made in the context of this site: if I was to buy a Blu-Ray player, it would almost certainly be solely to take advantage of deals on Blu-Ray discs, which it seems can often be bought for less than the price of the equivalent DVD… except never for movies or TV shows I actually want to watch.

          In the context of this user of this site, I'm not going to go out and buy an expensive piece of technology so I can spend more money to buy something on Blu-Ray when the "benefits" of Blu-Ray are not benefits for me. Because I come to this site for bargains, not just to learn how I can buy things I don't want for less than their RRP.

          On the contrary, I have about 12 Eneloop batteries, and I still haven't picked up an SSD. I'm basing my comments on the upvoted deals, the front page deals etc to form a general population. As per the stats for February, highest search alert was 'eneloop', with 'wii u', 'xbox one', 'ps4' and 'chromecast' all within the top 10.

    $25 for the DVD at Coles and Sanity.

      to use for frisbees?

      what are the extras? comparisons of how much of the story they copied from old star wars? explanations of why the main characters sucked so much? apologies from JJ for screwing up two sci-fi franchises?
