Assume that all of these are available to all customers unless specifically listed as member only like the Welcome Package. Also remember that any preliminary codes are just that and BN could pull it, change the details or exclusions anything prior to release so always a bit of YMMV until the final release date

Mini FAQ
Coupons should not work for PREORDERS , Nook, Legos, Rosetta Stone, Digital, Gift Cards, Memberships, etc. There are glitches where sometimes an excluded item will be allowed but assume that is the exception to the rule
Free Shipping is $25 (before tax/shipping) or with membership.
Max 3 GC on a single online order.
Online only a single code can be applied to an order
Return period is 14 days after delivery (possibly 30 days for members though I've never tried)
Online ordered items can returned to a local store unless it's classified as a web-only item then it's at the store's discretion to accept
The long standing Free 60 day Trial Offer was discontinued in late May 2016

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

A couple of cart updates I noticed this morning:
Frankenstein: Complete Legacy Collection = $19.99
An American Werewolf in London - Restored Edition = $11.99

*Perhaps it's October/Halloween horror film sales time.

The I Am Legend/Constantine/V for Vendetta/Blade 4-film BD is $3.74.

If I didn't already own 3 out of those 4 I'd totally get it myself.

That's dead already. Assuming you saw the Slickdeals post that was an affiliate site selling those through eBay.

No, it was live when I posted it. I saw it through BD.com's lowest price deals.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

Some people have different standards for reviews. It's really about expectations.

There is such a huge disparity in the reviews you wonder about if it's disc variations or it just looks incredibly different on different equipment setups or if different people watching the same exact disc on identical setups really have that wide of a disagreement over the PQ/AQ.
Depending on just *who* and *where* the review is I'd have to wonder if systems are actually set up properly. There are so many factors in getting a "good" result. Certain settings actually work against you when you'd think they'd help *but* on some occasions they actually do. I'd question those complaining about excessive DNR to ask if they have their set/player set up with "noise canceling" (i.e. Soap Opera effect) turned on. I have a few discs where that setting actually helps but for most it produces unwanted artifacts. The sad part is it's usually defaulted to "on" for most sets.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

You can look at the comparison on caps-a-holic. When I was looking at it, before I read any reviews, I could tell it was DNR'd and I'm no where near an expert on that. I don't know how it looks in motion though.

Looking at the comparisons, neither version looks particularly good. The Blue Moon has lots of noise/grain (can't tell if it's natural grain or just noise) but the remastered is soft - very soft at times. It has a "smoother" image but I wouldn't say it's "better."

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

With the caveat I have not actually seen either Blu-ray, the following is my take having closely looked at the aforementioned screenshot comparisons.

The new transfer shows less filtering and the movie's softer, more appropriately film-like appearance. The color grading is far improved as well. What people think is grain in the original transfer is actually evidence of leftover noise from the crude filtering tools used back in the day. It's far too structured and regular to be classic celluloid grain.

This newly-remastered transfer is far closer to what the negative may have looked like upon release. Sharpening and filtering often gives the false impression of more definition to casual observers. Far less of that processing has been applied to the new transfer.
