Starting this Friday there will be 99 releases available on download for 99p (or $0.99 if your native currency is dollars).
Any ranges you'd like to see represented? What have you had your eye on that you'd like to own a digital download to? And when the day comes, come armed with recommendations for people who prefer not to have healthy bank account balances.
It'd be fantastic if Big Finish used this opportunity to unveil CD-only releases as having download options as well. I'm interested in Gallifrey, the early stuff, but that's CD only.

Just to be clear, we don't know for certain that all 99 releases will be at 99p, just that some of them are very likely to be. Nick gave no specific details, so it's all pretty much conjecture at this point.

I really would like them to release the old Bernice Summerfield and Gallifrey titles as Downloads as well. Apart from that, those that I would like on sale are - 1. Dorian Gray 2. Blake's 7 3. BS and Gallifrey ofcourse 4. EDA 5. Companion Chronicles
I hope the sale is extended to Box sets as well (though it won't obviously be 0.99)

Gallifrey is more feasible, as are the first four Companion Chronicles. Only one Sarah Jane Smith story doesn't have a download option. Would 200AD be worth the effort? And where's the Fly Me to the Moon download? It's a cracker story that deserves a sequel!

I've never spared a look for Fly Me to the Moon.. have heard of it though.. only that it's reputation is, well, not so good.

But the conjecture isn't necessarily true, therefore cannot be assumed as fact. Innocent until proven guilty - we can't categorically say what the sale will or won't be. Heck, we don't even know the schedule (if there even is one). Will there be a certain number on sale each week? Will they all be on sale for multiple weeks? Will it be one a day? We simply don't have enough information at this point to go making statements yet.

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

My only hope is that there's plenty of stuff I haven't bought before going in the sale. It would be a bonus if it was also stuff I was interested in. 2000 AD would be nice, as would Pathfinder and some Classics or Textbook Stuff. Maybe some ebooks as well.

I'm going to take a wild guess that if there really turn out to be all of 99 titles at .99 each, they're going to further discount about 20 MR titles between 1-100 per week, and then for the week before Christmas, about 15 titles from a dozen or so ranges, as a sort of sampler for people to have more ideas how they want to spend their Christmas money (and probably in lieu of a 12 Days of Christmas sale?)
Of course, that's still a big if and they could do things completely differently and put 3 titles on sale 6 days a week or something like that, or the whole lot at once (and box sets for five sounds so lovely that I hope they actually do some of that), or maybe even an unprecedented offer on Companion Chronicles?
What I can't quite picture them doing, though, is giving away any whole ranges for next to nothing, and I do have to wonder if so deep a discount on CD-only items wouldn't make it even less worth the apparent pains involved in going DL with them.

It’s going to be used as intros to ranges and to raise a bit of cash from poor sellers, so I expect it to be Dorian, short trips, old bonus releases, Sherlock, excelis, unbound, dark shadows, davros, maybe even a few books and failed ranges like sigmund Freud, Mervin stone. & drama showcase

So the start of this sale coincides with Black Friday which is also this week.
Am excited, though wish I had a bit more spare £

I'm guessing many of them will be MR 1-50. They've offered several of them at that discount in the last six months.

Nick gave no specific details, so it's all pretty much conjecture at this point. Put it like this: if it's BF and it goes on sale at 99p and I don't have it, I will have it very soon after. I might even push the boat out to £ 1.99 for some titles!

Didn't mind the first Ep of this, though.

If so, I wouldn't mind giving it a re-try.. Don't know: I've only heard that first episode. Because of the tie-in deal with Paizo (the company that produces the game the series is based on) it's more expensive than most of BF's other stuff.
