Just tried to call the number in the Highdefdigest article but it says they're closed (even though the recording says their hours of operation are 7am-7pm PST???). I'll have to get this resolved!

Alright, so they finally were open and after holding for about 90 seconds and talking to a rep for 90 seconds, they are sending out a replacement. I had to go through this for the Superman box set a few years ago as well as the Harry Potter Blu-ray set and I'm glad they make this so painless. Of course, I wish they wouldn't screw it up in the first place, but what can you do.

it's not below $9.99, but the dark knight for $14.99 isn't a bad deal, is it?

Saw that Fight Club is down to $13.99 today.
That's the cheapest I've seen it thus far.

Was $10 over the Black Friday weekend. So from that point of view, it's not a good deal. Also, the version with the bat pod (or whatever it's called) was $20 for some time in December.

FWIW, The Dark Knight BD was $9.99 at Amazon on Black Friday. But it is hard to say when or if it will get down to that price again.

Is it just me, or have Amazon's Blu-ray deals pretty much dried up in recent weeks?

Agree. I usually go on and check the number of total blu rays under 10 dollars before I even look at the titles themselves....during and right after X-mas it was almost 300 titles...while the number overall has gone up by 10 or 15 once or twice, overall every time I have gone back there have been 30-40 less titles. Last night I checked and the under 10$ total was only about 170 titles. Things are definitely drying up.

Waited too long to pull the trigger on The Descent, and now it's up to $15.49. Stupid me. Hopefully it comes back down again soon.

The Omen (Gregory Peck) is $9.49
Heathers $9.99
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (remake) $9.99

The Omen is particularly tempting to me, but wondering if it will go even lower...

I noticed this with The Incredible Hulk. It went from $14.99 up to $16.49 and back down within 24 hours.

Are you in Hawaii? Sounds a tad expensive. Is it 2% or skim? I guess I'll have to pass, anyway, since I'm lactose intolerant...

I think the Omen price is pretty much it's normal price now (it's only a 16.99 pub at), as opposed to these other ones which keep floating up and down from higher pricepoints. Since Black Friday the ones with low pub ats like Romancing the Stone, Omen, etc, haven't really moved down at all from 9.49/10.49. On the flip side, they aren't going up that I can see either so waiting probably can't hurt.
