wow..false advertising. i didn't see anything that was over 40% off..most were 10-13% off

WatchAMovie · 01-21-08, 10:26 PM

Their "50% off" is off retail I believe, it is misleading.

Hmm... This title of this page would be more accurate.

"Species 50% off. A lot of other Sci Fi titles that you might be interested in too."

Hell, nothing else is at least 40% off, let alone 50% off!

No, that's not even 50% off retail...

critterdvd · 01-21-08, 11:02 PM

Yeah... I didn't see a single title that was 50% MSRP... hell most weren't even 20% off

WatchAMovie · 01-21-08, 11:08 PM

Your right only Species is 50% off their list price.

lena · 01-22-08, 02:41 AM

Titles are marked at 50% off now (except for Alien Quadrilogy at 30% off)...maybe the sale wasn't due to start until today.

Note that if you buy Solarbabies and Night of the Comet you save an additional $3, and most of the 4.99 titles are available for the 4 for 3 promotion.

Peep · 01-22-08, 10:10 AM

I wish there were more 4.99 titles.

beebs · 01-22-08, 01:10 PM

Entire original series of Outer Limits for $39.97, shipped. Buy Volume 1 & 2 together, for $24.98 (extra $5 off, see the Volume 1 product page), then Volume 3 (Season 2) for $14.99. You get all 49 original episodes.

Most of the titles are 50% off list price... isn't that a good deal? Most of you said that these weren't really that much on sale but I see some decent prices. Especially on the Alien Quadrilogy which I still haven't gotten. Is it less than $30 elsewhere?

Neil M. · 01-22-08, 06:44 PM

There are some decent deals here. You might be able to get them a little cheaper in sales throughout the year. I recommend the Outer Limits. I got them a little cheaper 2 months ago but it's still a good deal. Also, check out each item's better together section. There's some additional savings on some of them.

Yah, it was weird how they had the sale up but didn't update the prices until later.

It usually drops to the low $20s around Christmas time. At least it has the last few years.

dhmac · 01-24-08, 04:10 PM

Is The Abyss still the non-anamorphic release, or has that mistake been finally corrected?

canaryfarmer · 01-25-08, 11:12 PM

The Abyss is always non-anamorphic. You'll hear a ringing from the skies when it finally gets an upgrade.

I just got it from Fye.com for a bit under 30 shipped and that was without using their discount card.

Currently $29.99 at Amazon, though it was even cheaper at some places a few months ago.

Impressed with the price of the Alien Quad box. Too bad it will probably be on Blu-ray within this year so I'll hold off.
