Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Another Blu-ray Amazon DotD today.

Jeff Dunham: Three-Disc Collection - $36.95

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

They've been raising the prices on many of those items over the last few days. Mad Men, Season 1 went from $24.99 to $29.99 and then to $31.99 (and now $34.95). Roy Orbison, A Black and White Night went from $14.99 to $18.99 (then dropped back to $16.95). I'm sure there are others, but those are just two that I happened to notice.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

A lot of those B2G1 discs were part of an "up to 50% off" sale that ended yesterday (or maybe today), so I expect them to go up in price before the B2G1 sale starts tomorrow.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Amazon jacked the prices up even more this morning. They've got $20 Blu's selling for $27, and $12 titles like Terminator and Crank raised to $20. Not a real sale after all.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

I can confirm this and add the following titles:

Crash
The Punisher
Rambo I
Rambo II
Rambo III
Reservoir Dogs
Saw I
Saw II
Stargate
Terminator 2
Total Recall
Young Guns

It's kinda like the dawning of a new $10 HD bin @ Wal-Mart! Except on a shelf!

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

I just saw this week's Toys R Us ad -- all Blu-Rays are buy 2 get 1 free. Prices there tend to be about the same as other B&M stores.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Check your Target receipts! You know how sometimes they print out a little grocery coupon along with it? I just got one for $5 off any Blu-Ray disc.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Putting together next week's Weekly RoundUp and I see that the SD of Henry Poole is Here is @ Amazon for $19.99 while the Blu-ray version is @ $13.99 (for pre-order).

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Mike,
If you look at the 39.98 MSRP for that BRD, I have a feeling that it might be a pricing mistake by Amazon or it's such a bad film, they're trying to move this on Blu-ray. Anybody interested in this title, better buy it now.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

I'VE seen it no a couple of top 10 movie lists.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

The NY Times didn't like it so much...but Roger Ebert liked it a good deal.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Amazon has Iron Man, Transformers, Indy IV at 16.99 this morning. There might be a couple of more titles at that price too.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

As per usual practice, Amazon appears to have matched all of BB's sale prices. Appaloosa, Tropic Thunder, Wanted and Get Smart have all dropped to $22.99, which makes them a lot cheaper than Circuit City's "liquidation" pricing of $28.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

For what it's worth, Amazon sent out copies of Henry Poole to Vine reviewers. They only rarely offer DVDs in Vine.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Aaron: What does that mean? "Vine?" Color me ignorant.

=================

I bit on the amazon price on Henry Poole, by the way. I read a few more reviews plus engaged in a conversation with a Blockbuster employee who had watched it and came away thinking it might be something I'd like.

And as of this writing the $13.99 price on the BD @ Amazon still stands.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

I don't know if anybody's still buying HD-DVD, but my local Kroger had a slew of Universal combo discs in a cardboard bin marked "Blow Out." Here are some of the titles that I remember, along with prices:

ANIMAL HOUSE - $3.99
THE BREAKFAST CLUB - $3.99
ACCEPTED - $4.99
UNLEASHED - $4.99
THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS: TOKYO DRIFT - $5.99
SLITHER - $5.99
ALPHA DOG - $5.99
BALLS OF FURY - $5.99
BREACH - $5.99
CHILDREN OF MEN - $5.99
EASTERN PROMISES - $5.99
jET LI'S FEARLESS - $5.99
THE GOOD SHEPHERD - $5.99
HOLLYWOODLAND - $5.99
HOT FUZZ - $5.99
MR. BEAN'S HOLIDAY - $5.99
TALK TO ME - $5.99
YOU, ME, AND DUPREE - $5.99
MIAMI VICE - $6.99
ELIZABETH: THE GOLDEN AGE - $5.99

There may have been a few more, and I may have gotten a few of these prices wrong, but that's the gist of it. Since they're all combos, I expect them to move pretty quickly once people realize that they're getting an SD DVD if they buy it.

Your mileage may vary.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Just a quick heads up - "Band Of Brothers" (Blu Ray) is available at Amazon as a Gold Box deal today for $34.99.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Mike, Amazon Vine is a group of people who get review copies of various products (mostly books) from Amazon. They have a "Vine Voice" badge under their name and Vine reviews have something like "this is a Vine review" in green text. (I should mention that the version of Henry Poole that was offered was the SD, not the BD.)

I got invited into the program a few months ago. Apparently it's based on how much Amazon likes your reviews, but it's a bit cryptic. (Maybe someone there was reading the DVD Review Archive here. )

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Thanks, Aaron. Never heard of such a thing. Thanks for the explanation.

Makes ya wonder if Amazon has some kind of editorial board, eh? Well, it makes me wonder. It's probably well-known to others like yourself!

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

I wish!

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Amazon just dropped the price of Eagle Eye on Blu-ray to $19.99 and is offering a promotion where, if you buy it with another from a list of Paramount Blu-rays, you get $10 off. The list includes Tropic Thunder, Sweeney Todd and the Godfather trilogy.

Buy Eagle Eye and get $5 off Another DVD, or $10 off Another Blu-ray

Probably the best deal, if you don't already have either title, is Tropic Thunder, on which Amazon has also just dropped the price to $19.99.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Alternatively, if you prefer to purchase just Eagle Eye by itself, Best Buy will be selling it for $16.99 the week of 1/25 - 1/31, and Amazon is bound to match it.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Great! Do you know what other Blu-ray titles BB will be marking down?

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Bourne Trilogy BD $64.99 at Amazon

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Yeah, I've been wanting to buy that title and will wait until next week to do so.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

I still think it's about $10 too expensive for these catalog titles. Anyhow, I have the Bourne HD DVDs so I won't be buying them no matter the price.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Yea, so i saw. But Amazon didnt change my pre-order price. So, i cancelled, and reordered at this new price. Thanks for the heads up, and keep an eye out on your pre-orders!

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

21 & Vantage Point will also be $16.99, along with Eagle Eye.

They'll also have 2/$35 deals on 300, The Departed, I Am Legend and Troy (or $19.99 individually).
