Godfather Blu-ray Confirmed (1 Viewer)

Fantastic price. That's less than I paid for the DVD boxset seven years ago (I think was about $66 or 68).

 

[Cees Alons]

Today the price is $87.95, but my pre-order price has not been adjusted to $61.95.

So I'll send them an e-mail with a formal complaint.

I DID write an e-mail, and whether it was that or just the system having had a hickup: but the price on my order has now been changed to $61.95.

Great price indeed!

I posted in the theatrical movie forum that the restored versions of the first 2 Godfather movies are screening at the Film Forum in NYC from September 12 to October 2. Separate admission for each film.

Nice price, but with shipping the UK release is still cheaper.

 

[Cees Alons]

Probably.
The UK price is £34.98, which is roughly $66.
I ordered the UK version as well, given this "situation", but we cannot be sure if it's not region-coded (and I'm currently in the process of buying a reg-A player, so I would not be able to use a reg-B disc).

(I'm going to cancel the most expensive one.)

Wow. I'm glad I jumped-in yesterday when it was still $61.95. I didn't realize Amazon's prices fluctuated so drastically in such a short period of time. This is my first real order through Amazon (up until yesterday I've only purchased MP3s through Amazon).

I don't think they normally fluctuate quite that much. Personally, I do wonder if it wasn't a real pricing error yesterday as I didn't see anywhere else online w/ a preorder price anywhere near that low when I checked. Most places just had it at the pretty typical circa ~$75 price that Amazon also had for a long while -- I'm guessing it'll probably go back to that ~$75 price soon enough.

Amazon's pricing can literally fluctuate hour by hour on some products.

 

[ManW_TheUncool]

I'm aware of that. I just meant the degree of fluctuation in this instance seems a bit out of the "ordinary" even for them. It went from ~$75 down to ~$62 and then up to ~$88 w/in ~24 hours. I've seen plenty of CDs and movie titles go up and down by a few bucks (and maybe even ~$10 for sets of this size) from day to day, but nothing else quite as drastic as this instance that I can recall for this level of items.

Without a doubt, this is an unusual circumstance of pricing...even for Amazon.

Something unusual was afoot. Maybe just a mistake.

I can only imagine what such a mistake might cost them in profits.

 

[Cees Alons]

Don't forget to thank Robert Crawford for pointing it out.
Without that, I doubt if we'd all had been able to receive this advantage!

I just checked Amazon, my pre-order is at the 61.95 price.

 

[Felix Martinez]

I pre-ordered it on August 13 at $61.95.

Some screen caps of the trilogy are up over at AVSForum:

God, they look fantastic. I recently watched the remastered DVD versions, but I'll gladly spin the whole trilogy again once I get the Blu-ray versions. They appear to look absolutely gorgeous and frighteningly film-like in HD.

Kudos to Mr Harris and all involved with the restoration.

 

[Brian Borst]

They look great, but why aren't they in 1.85:1?

 

[Britton]

Wow, I cannot wait for these! I threw up the DVDs on my 55" screen sometime last year and they didn't hold up at all.

 

[Cees Alons]

Same here!

You are absolutely right - Thank you for tip, Crawdaddy!
