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

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
The one Amazon has as a deal of the day for $43.99 is the one that's extras-free.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
I have the classic DVD set which is pretty good. A blu-ray set would be nice since it was probably produced on film like The Twilight Zone was. I have no idea what condition the film is in though.
The New Outer Limits DVDs are another example of studio genius. Instead of standard season sets they came out with "best of" sets. Naturally they sold poorly. They eventually came out with a proper season 1 set but it was too late by then and that sold poorly too, so they never did the rest of the seasons.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
I've found that too many dual layer Fox/MGM and Warner Brothers DVD's from DVD's early years (perhaps up to 2007?) have absolutely astronomical error rates. It's not a matter of the disks aging poorly; they're practically coasters right off the assembly line. In addition to not cutting corners i.e. avoiding DVD18's, I find that these foreign sets typically also show much better QA.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
Babylon 5 is a horror story. First Warner Bros threw out the original rendering data without bothering to ask any of the producers if they wanted to take custody or pay for storage, then cropped a 4:3 show to 16:9. As a bonus, the geniuses at WB did the DVDs in PAL. Worse, rather than take original 24fps NTSC effects they converted them to 30fps NTSC, then converted that to 25fps PAL, then converted that back to 24fps NTSC. The triple frame rate conversion totally trashed the effects shots. It's beyond savable at this point.
Babylon 5 is an absolute shi show on DVD.
They never should have capitulated to the people who demanded it be released in widescreen. Any shot that has a CGI or optical element had to be zoomed and cropped from video tape masters, so it was constantly switching between decent-looking widescreen derived from film and zoomed/cropped effects shots derived from tape. It effected not only the CGI space scenes, but any time someone fired a PPG, and transitions between scenes.
I have episodes I recorded from TNT on VHS at 6hr EP speed and they are clearer than the DVDs on my HDTV.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
I didn't realize B5 was that big of a disaster. really really too bad regardless of Sheldon Cooper's opinion.
I did get the Outer Limits COmplete boxset before it disappeared and got severely expensive. At least there appears to be a nice not too expensive Australian DVD set which is not only R1/4 it also appears to be NTSC. It may even be better than the US set since they went to 12 single sided DVDs instead of those awful 6 double sided DVDs. I'm almost tempted to get the Aussie set just to get rid of those future skippers/freezers/coasters

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
Recently picked up a used copy of season 6 of The Outer Limits on eBay, and all 6 discs are in one single-width Amaray, exactly like the 15th anniversary sets of Farscape, so it looks like the Canadian company has redesigned the packaging rather recently. YYMV.
Now, back to Blu-ray bargains! ;-)

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
Don't mean to derail the thread any more, but wow, I never knew the history of the Babylon 5 DVD releases. Very disappointing that there's almost no chance of an HD release. One of my favorite shows ever.
Back on topic, Doctor Who Series 7 is back down to $19.99: https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/A...=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
I hope people realize the Australian DVD version being talked about is for the older, black-and-white version of The Outer Limits. The American DVD set for it from MGM has quality control issues.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
Does the Paramount re-release of the Image release include everything? They're both listed as 24 discs, but otherwise seems hard to tell...

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
Thanks kahuna! Doesn't bother me at all that it's a PM to BB. I have Prime and don't yet pay sales tax so this saves ~$.25 and a trip to BB to pick one up (assuming they actually have it in stock which is doubtful) plus I used "slow shipping" for a $1 digital credit - although I'm running out of stuff I want to "purchase" with them...
