Re: Tales of the Black Freighter for $5 if you order Watchmen

I think the problem is that the BDs in the deal must be in the 20% off deal to work. Falling Down is at full price, doesn't work, the others at full price don't work either.

I can get some titles that are over $27.95 as the freebie...as long as it's in the 20% off deal also.

I'm playing around with it a bit more. Looks like you are right.

That's a really stupid stipulation.

I had the same problem. Most of the titles on blu-ray could be had for cheap elsewhere and those that can't are too expensive to count as a freebie.

I tried to choose something I would watch the most but also cost the most (does not get discounted often)

Re: Tales of the Black Freighter for $5 if you order Watchmen

I got in on this too ... for my freebie, I got the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix with Movie Cash for HP6. The only HP movie I had not yet purchased.

Not bad, 3 Blu-rays and a free viewing of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince for $30.xx.

One thing I would take notice of: It says HP6 Concession Cash-- not movie cash.

Re: Tales of the Black Freighter for $5 if you order Watchmen

Awesome stacking deal, thanks for the heads up!!
I snagged Watchmen, TOTBF, and the upcoming Green Lantern: First Flight, all on Blu-ray for just under $29 shipped free! This is probably the best BD deal I have received this year!

Re: Tales of the Black Freighter for $5 if you order Watchmen

I went for Watchmen. TOTBF and Nature's Most Amazing Events for $28.96 (or $4 more than Watchmen alone at Amazon). I hadn't heard of that documentary set, but since the family loves Planet Earth so much, it probably is worth it.

BTW: I don't ever want to see TOTBF. It's nauseating. I wish the deal would have worked with the graphic novel or something else, but at least I'll check out the Under The Hood stuff, I guess.

Awesome, I didn't know that would work.

That's exactly the deal I just did.

Well I was able to get through on the phone with WBShop and cancel my first order with no problems. So long as the temporary authorization they put on my credit card goes away.

My second order with all 3 Watchmen Blu-rays is In Process.

True ... but then why would it have the "HP6" notation. Can you only use it at the concession stand when you have a HP6 ticket?

Guess we'll see when it comes. Either way, free money, since I got the disc for free.

Re: Tales of the Black Freighter for $5 if you order Watchmen

I just stacked 25% code with B2G1 for LOTR Trilogy pre-order, Gone With The Wind pre-order and Wizard of Oz pre-order, total $125 shipped for the 3 'sets'...$40/set, or, looking at it another way, $25 per movie.

Eh? Good or bad?

Re: Tales of the Black Freighter for $5 if you order Watchmen

Good! Great price for those sets considering its not just the movie that comes with gone with the wind and Wizard of Oz.

Looks like the b2g1 works as long as the items are of equal or lower value than the highest priced item(s). Might entice me to grab some more shows like fringe.....

Anyone else not able to stack the two codes to get all 3 Watchmen blus? Have tried repeatedly and can only get one or the other to work, but not both.

Could you please say that again in English? How could they not be equal or lower than the highest priced item?
