Looking forward to seeing how this works. The new look for the site and app look very modern and swish. Hopefully it will be easy enough to navigate. My biggest ask was to allow us to create playlists for non downloaded titles on the app. It'd be nice to be able to organise stuff without needing to fill my phones storage. Like keeping all the Ann Kelso or Harry/Naomi releases in one place.

Like keeping all the Ann Kelso or Harry/Naomi releases in one place. I couldn't agree more, I'm interested on how these multi-buy discounts will work as well as the low stock notifications. I honestly miss the pre 2019 as despite the newer version of the site being made for mobile I've always preferred using the desktop version unlike with the pre 2019 version. I've a few questions, guess we'll get them answered come Tuesday.

My wish list for the app is simple.
I’d like better CarPlay compatibility so it isn’t crashing everytime the app is opened on it, and better integration of the subscription bonuses, I’d like to be able to place the subscriber bonuses on playlists.
With the bundle and subscription reworks, I’m wondering if the five companions and the four doctors will be made available for general sale. I’d also like a return for the rarities range as well, I’d like to grab the remaining few I don’t have.

Sounds splendidly bleak. A nod to Eric Saward perhaps?

Jonathan S Powell (he must have added the "S" so people don't think BF have gone mad and employed the guy that cancelled Who in 1989) says Zygons are "capable of the same humanity as we are". Well, surely it's zygonity then!

I should probably hold off this post until someone creates a new thread for the new pricing model, but the post says free postage for pre-orders of subscriptions and bundles is ending. It doesn't say it is ending for pre-orders of individual items outside of a sub or bundle. I plan on buying Jenny3 as a standalone purchase nearer the time of release, but it's not totally clear from the tease on X whether I will get free postage or not at that point. I think the devil will be in the detail. It might be worth my while placing a pre-order before the changes take effect, but without knowing the full detail of the changes it is not possible to make an informed decision about whether or not it is worth pre-ordering now or holding off. As another example, should I pre-order the 13th Doc bundle that is currently available or wait and get the the new multi-buy discount on it after 30th July? Or will the two be the same in £ terms, so it won't matter either way. BF try to be honourable and fair in their dealings with customers, but by teasing these things and then not giving the full info to enable a customer to work through the options on their calculator and make an informed decision, they are not playing fair with customers. it's a bit like the price rise that wasn't a couple of years back. BF shouldn't be trying to "scare" people into pre-orders to beat a price rise unless there really is a price rise coming.

Yes I've refrained from Commenting on this because they keep saying at the end of this whatever option you pick Dl Pricing will be fair and CD pricing will range be able to suit whatever an individual be afford which I can't see being done simply.

So I'd assume that's a blanket thing ie whether it's in a MB or a single purchase it will have postage costs. They're being annoyingly vauge on the details of how MB will work (like the formula for calculating discounts). I'm tempted to make a big order of everything I want to pre-order tonight then come Tuesday if MB makes it cheaper cancel my original order.

It makes No Sense Pre Orders Bundles and Sub Prices included Uk Postage to a Uk destination anyway to change it would surely mean less advance income (unless it just means UK Customers will be an additional £5 every time no matter how many CDs they buy but they're also implying that the new Discounts on multi item Orders would sill end up cheaper then current Subs/Bundles! ) Regards mark687

"Blanket free postage for pre-orders of subscriptions and bundles is ending (because subscriptions and bundles will be discontinued)." When asked here (https://x.com/James_Hawkins1/status/1816771692095578159?t=aJ7_u6iA6POprkHnsgQGpQ&s=19) if preorders will still have blanket free postage, they respond "Preorders will have postage costs."
