Re: Another Amazon Blu-Ray sale - titles up to and over 50% off!

Yup, recently bought a few Blu-Rays from their 2 for 1 sale plus a few more at their already cheap price:

HP1, HP2, HP3, HP4, PoTC3, Blade Runner 5 disc set

They have a few HD-DVD that have gone down in price too but I won't buy anymore HD-DVDs since this war is basically all but won.

Go Blu-Ray Go!

In the previous BOGO Blu-Ray sale PoTA was my higher priced of the two titles I ordered, and is now $5 cheaper. Bummer...

I have asked Amazon Customer Service if they are willing to credit me the difference.

Update: I received the credit on PoTA on Jan 12th.

Thanks for the heads up. I've been looking for a couple of titles I only wanted if they were a reasonable price and there they were in the sale. I now have *all* the HD and BD discs that I want from what's been issued so far and can be played in Region B (FWIW, about 50).

Hey Paul, I may be standalone Blu-Ray, but my PC has a "format neutral" drive, so I got Untouchables (on sale) and Roy Orbison: B&W Night (not) for my PC/1080i HDMI card.

I'm in this little, money conservative mode, RIGHT after I bought a PS3, and now this software is being dangled in front of me.




I'm holding off. I can wait for the next deal. ........I've made it this far.

This sale is not near as good as they had in the past, with buy one, get one free +10 percent off the total. By the way Amazon, where did the 10 percent off go??????

I have to agree. Since it´s 50% from that retail price, not as good as "buy 1, get 1 for free". I picked up "Top Gun" HD DVD and "Cars" (I finally have to see this one..).

Actually it is - the BOGO free disc was the title of equal or lesser value.

Where it had to go: it stopped on Dec 31, 2007, after it was extended for another year at the start of 2007.

Even though the sale is on both Sides, HD-DVD titles are ranked FAR FAR below what they used to be.



I ended up picking up Pirates At Worlds End, for 1, it's pretty much brand new, so for it to be $19.99 now is a pretty good bet for the best deal in a while.


I actually dont' own the other two...lol, I'll see if I can snag them in a BOGO or a future deal. Plus I'd like to be sure I end up with the corrected "Curse of the Black Pearl" disc.

No it isn't, because the BOGO titles weren't based on full retail price. Most of them were $20-$28 apiece, with MSRP of $30-$40.

It's, for example, BOGO at $28 vs. 50% off of $40.

This was my point. Believe me, I kinda remember those prices, since I ordered something like 20-25 titles from these recent "BOGO"-sales..

E.g. "Superbad [Blu-ray]" now $20.99 (from $43.95). In these past BOGO-sales you would get roughly two titles for that $20.99 price..
