Weird Amazon Bd sale (8/28)


just a heads up-
I just found out about this a few mintues ago- it's supposed to be a buy 3 get one free sale, but when I placed an order for three titles, one was knocked off...I tried this twice with different orders and it worked both times so it seems to also be a buy 2, get 1 free sale.

Also, there are quite a few titles with reduced prices at the moment

my order consisted of

X-men The Last Stand
Kingdom Of Heaven
Into The Blue

total: $45.xx (or $15.33 each...not bad given two of these are $40 msrp Fox titles!)

Strange doesn't even begin to cover this sale. If you look at the threads on AVS, it's like you need a degree in cryptology in order to figure it out. Once you do though, it can be very rewarding.

I got Casino Royale, Apocalypto, and 300 for a tick under $41 deleivered (that includes my 10% off and free shipping).

Unfortunately I could not find any additional currently available titles of either format that I did not have but wanted to own.

Re: Weird Amazon Bd sale (8/28)


I wonder if you can mix 'n match. There's a couple HD DVD's and a couple BD's that I haven't picked up yet that I'm mildly interested in.

Probably not........stupid format war.



The Collection (Blu-Ray High Definition/DVD)

Pre-orders - BLU-RAY: Akira, The Dark Knight, Death Proof, King Kong, Planet Terror, Raging Bull, Ronin, The Third Man DVD: .................

You can, as long as you buy the applicable titles. That's the really trick however.

I tried to mix Apocalypto with the HD-DVD of 300 and Bourne Supremecy and it was a no go. I tried it with leaving Apocalypto out, and adding the HD_DVD of Goodfellas and it worked.

Re: Weird Amazon Bd sale (8/28)


Is this sale actually mentioned anywhere on the Amazon site? I didn't see one word.

Re: Weird Amazon Bd sale (8/28)


Yeah, just ordered Phantom of the Opera, TMNT, and The Queen. I'll have to go through the current list at AVS to see if there's anything else I want to pick up. Debated Stargate and Dirty Dancing. Probably should have grouped them better though so that I put all the $19.95 discs together and the more expensive discs together so I could have maximized the savings though.
