Re: Amazon Blu-ray Discounts and Deals Thread #27

I tried to get a refund on Homeland since I bit last week, but it was a no go. I found it a bit baffling that it was advertised as a deal of the week only to be lower as soon as the week ended.

Interesting...I got a refund on Season 5 of Big Bang Theory, as I bought it before it went down to $16.99...however, this was during the Black Friday sales, so perhaps they allowed the exception in my case.

I'm guessing they didn't sale as many HOMELANDs as they hoped and are trying to sell at (or close) to cost to dump some of the extra inventory.

Universal Blu-ray discs (even if they contain SD materials) are exactly the same across all regions (other than maybe the disc artwork), so they should always play fine (same is true of Warners). It's only when there's a DVD included that you might run into some trouble.

Gunfights, car chases, criminal codes of honor, etc. The DVD set came with a great little book which I believe this set also has.
I blind bought this on everyone's recommendations...it's out of stock now, but still showing the $12.99 price...so it might not be on sale much longer!

The Dick van Dyke Show Blu-ray set took a huge drop to 150.49. It was $299 yesterday.

They lowered it to $20 because Best Buy did.

Same thing happened to me with Shameless. Pity we can't see the future.

I'm quickly finding this out for myself, especially since now the Star Trek series is $129.99. I think that's the lowest it's ever been. So damn tempting.

Don't do it. Control yourself.

Is $110 a good price for Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series (BD)? It's a lightning deal tomorrow.

As much as I like Amazon, this policy if NEVER PM'ing is getting really annoying. I can understand some reason they quit PM'ing. I heard they would get adjustment requests of .50. Perhaps if they PM'd ONLY for products whose price changed at least 20% or 5.00. The PM would have to be at least 1.00. That would at least help for those customers who bought something expensive and then find it dropped in price a significant amount. It would keep out all the petty requests and give some assurance that you didn't pull the trigger too fast.

In years past I always bought when Amazon PM'd their competitors. But with sales tax and the constant fluctuating prices on Amazon, most of my purchases this year were at BB.

As far as Star Trek goes. at almost $47 a season after taxes, I will probably pass, even though I really want it. Too much money spent and not enough of a deal to jump on this.

Not really. $15 a season is a good deal. There are probably hundreds of thousands of these lying around, and we still have Christmas coming....
