Amazon: Buy 2 Get 1 Free Blu-Ray Sale

Didn't see this posted, but feel free to delete if this if it has been. I'm sure these prices have been better in previous sales, but I'm pretty sure some of these could work out cheaper than the Deep Discount and DVD Sales. Ends Dec. 31. Hope this link works:

Different selection than the last Amazon Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale, too. Thinking about Adventures of Robin Hood, Cool Hand Luke, and Prisoner of Azkaban. Works out to $13.63 each, which definitely beats DD and DVD Planet.

Expensive week, dang it!

Finally they offered the movies I wanted!

Yeah, it is an expensive week! Now they have offered the Blu-Ray titles I was waiting for a deal on to buy, two are double dips: Dark City and Blade Runner, the other one ordered is 2001 (which I rented and was just amazed at how great it looks). Didn't compare prices to Deep Discount, but they don't appear to have been hiked for the sale.
(Actually Blade Runner is a triple dip, bought the 5 DVD set before I got set up to watch Blu-rays on my PC.)

This sale killed the DD one for me. There's plenty of $19.95 titles I want and they work out to $13.30 each. I can't believe it's running through Dec 31st!

Hopefully they'll add some better high priced sets to the mix before the deal ends.

I want the Dirty Harry set, but need two more to go with it.

Ha, I have thought the same thing for months DB. I finally broke down and just bought it on DVD Planet using some of my store credit. I don't think that one is ever gonna fall in price.

I agree about the box sets. I would like to order Smallville but nothing to go with it!

I ordered 12 discs last night from the list. Will probably order 6 more tonight or tommorow.

Seems Amazon is giving this one another push. End date has moved to Dec. 17 (from Dec. 31), but it looks like they've added a few more titles:

Looks like they've also taken a bunch of titles off from the original list.

I love how they double the price from before the sale and try and convince you that you are getting a deal .... lame, pass

Amazon has been a total letdown this holiday season when it comes to BD and they should have (had a chance to) made a statement that they would be the premiere BD destination spot

7 of the 8 titles I ordered went up since yesterday. The only one that didn't go up went down 4 CENTS (Sarah Conner Chronicles). I'll never understand why stores do stuff like this...

Yes when I was fooling around with this I noticed that for someone that is just getting into BD and never had a HD DVD player like me(A35). This would be a good way to start your BD movie collection.
I noticed that the Best of Blu Ray disc Collection volume 1,Family and Action were in the qualifying movies list. It came out to $117.90 for me total! That's 16 BD movies for $117.90! that's $7.36 a movie.
I'm even thinking about it even though most of them I have on HD DVD already. Well maybe I wouldn't but for someone that likes most of these movies I think it's a steal.

I purchased six Bond Blu-Ray titles during the Black Friday sale for about $6.50 apiece (+/-), Mad Men Season 1 Blu for $16.99, and Untouchables/Transformers Blu for $10 each (not to mention a few other Blu discs in their previous B2G1 sale a month or so earlier, none more than $13, most far less). To my thinking, that was a pretty good statement. It told me I'll likely never need to cross the border for Black Friday DVD sales ever again (and I'm sure it told a lot of you American folks that it's much less stressful to shop from home on Black Friday from now on). Then again, even when I could cross the border regularly, I'd occasionally go a couple days after the BF sales and pick through the leftovers, if there even were any. Don't think I could stomach the desperation of those first-day crowds, but wasn't exactly thrilled with what they left behind either.

And despite the price adjustments, there's still some alright deals to be had in this revamped sale, as Supermanrob points out.

Except those 3 sets would only include 12 movies putting it closer to $10 per disc. Still not a bad deal.

That list was posted almost a month ago - the price has gone down since then.

I caught this same thing, but I guess I didn't really give it a second thought..

I thought it was one of those things where Amazon started the sale and switched the dates.
