WIN a pair of limited edition Skullcandy Crusher headphones!

DVDs & Blu-ray

Competition now closed. Congratulations Charlotte S. You will be emailed.

To celebrate the release of the motorsport documentary, On Any Sunday: The Next Chapter, we are giving away a pair of limited edition Skullcandy Crusher headphones signed by the well known Australian stunt driver Robbie Maddison! To be into win all you have to do is purchase On Any Sunday: The Next Chapter before the 15th of April.

Robbie Maddison’s career is one of world records, triumphs against adversity and huge, mind-boggling daredevil jumps. Watching him in action, you would be forgiven for assuming that his nickname ‘Maddo’ had nothing to do with his surname at all. Robbie’s fearless nature may stem from the years he spent recovering from debilitating illness when he was younger, or it may just be that he calculates the risks, understands the implications of gravity and the potential downsides of jumping himself and a hefty, highly strung stunt bike to over 400 feet in the air… and then completely disregards them and does it anyway.

Some of the feats that Robbie has achieved during his career are simply astounding:

  • Broke his own world record twice during the Crusty Demons Night of World Records show in Melbourne, Australia.
  • Jumped across an open Tower Bridge in London – incorporating a back-flip for good measure
  • He's won many ‘Best Trick’ trophies to fill up his house in California – which he probably jumps over from time to time.

DVD vs Blu-ray - which is better?

OK, so that title might be a little misleading from the get-go, but it certainly got your attention, right?

With Blu-ray being out for a while now, we still come across customers that either aren't aware of it, or are confused by the platform compared to DVD. We thought it might be a good idea to put a little something together to clear up any confusion and point out the benefits of Blu-ray as a platform.

Our Gorilla Pick for DVDs & Blu-Ray: "Anzac Girls"

DVDs & Blu-ray

Add a comment By Andi

With ANZAC Day just around the corner, we thought it'd be a great focus for our first Gorilla Picks title from the DVD & Blu-Ray Jungle.

While there are plenty of films about war already, finding a new angle on such a historical event from which so many stories can be told is always a bonus, which is why Anzac Girls is our Gorilla Pick!

Well versed in everything to appear on the big and little screens, our DVD & Blu-Ray Gorilla, Shirlina found Anzac Girls an easy choice!

“I loved learning more about the war from a woman's point of view. Definitely deserves the 8/10 IMDB rating.”
