Talk about slim pickings this week....! Argh!

 

[Mark-P]

One thing I'm a little frustrated with is that The Godfather 3 film bundle is on sale for $17.99 at Vudu and FandangoNow but NOT iTunes. I think that's deliberate because they know that the 4K versions are coming later this year and they want people to pay more to get the upgrades.

 

[TonyD]

Was $25 somewhat recently on iTunes. It’ll come back down

 

[Jeff Adkins]

Does anyone know anything about the color timing on John Badham's 1979 Dracula? I'm assuming it's the muted colors from previous releases. Universal dropped a handful of $4.99 films a couple of hours ago and this is one I don't own.

I just bought it. It is the desaturated version on every single one of the digital providers. That may or may not be the "correct" version according to one's point of view.

I'm guessing you probably know this and are only inquiring about the digital version but if you want the original in any format you can find it, Scream Factory's release has the movie in both the original and reworked colorings.

I've never seen the film, but would like to see the original version. I just was trying to avoid paying $25 to see it that way, but I may just have to go that route.

Pick ups this morning: all three Tomb Raider movies, Pixels and Prince of Persia.

 

[TonyD]

Pixels

I grabbed Hollywood since I never had any version of it before
Also an HD DVD upgrade of Darkman for $5 each.

Lol, yeah. Never seen it and, while probably a dumb comedy, it’s something I can get my fiancée to watch with me. And for $5, I can justify that.

iTunes has dropped the pricing for The Godfather 3 film bundle to $19.99. That's probably the best you're going to get from them.

 

[Robert Crawford]

Looks like some nice bundle pricing this week! There is a nice Steve McQueen 5-film bundle for $19.99 That Frank Capra 5-film bundle in 4K is now $19.99 too.

Yeah, I grabbed it as soon as I saw it, so now I'm all set for The Godfather set when it upgrades to 4K. Also picked up Pixar's Soul for $12.99 since my Disney+ subscription expired before it came out.

 

[TonyD]

I’m glad I waited on The Godfather set that’s a great price.

Now we need the Indiana Jones to drop.

 

[Johnny Angell]

How are you tracking the bargains? I’ve not done much with digital media.

 

[TonyD]

An app called CheapCharts

They also have a website

I can add a movie to my wishlist, but apparently there’s no way to specify a particular price. I’ll just get a notice when the price drops. Is that correct?

 

[TonyD]

Probably

Picked up the Vincent Price set. Have them all on Blu but for 6/$19.99 digital i couldn't resist.
