I Am Legend Blu-Ray - $18.95 on Amazon! HOT!!

http://www.amazon.com/Am-Legend-Blu-...5565400&sr=8-2

Only a few dollars more than the SD DVD 0_0

Credit goes to highdefdigest.com, but I figured it was too awesome to not share the love!

Nice deal! I already have The Omega Man and The Last Man on Earth, so I definitely want to complete my collection of movies based on the same book, but I don't have a Blu-Ray player so I just ordered the standard DVD 2 disc version from FYE.com for about $13 after the rebate and BSP discount, its already shipping. I hope BluRay prices keep dropping like this though.

Technically this is cheaper than the DVD, because the 2-disc with all the same special features is $22.xx, so technically your saving $4 buying the blu/hd ...

Amazon has been doing this a lot I've noticed. I preordered "Dan in Real Life" and "No Country for Old Men" several weeks ago for $23/24 but when I got them in the mail I was only charged $17 for Dan and $19 for Country.

HD-DVD fans should also know that it's only 18.99.

How is this not a pricing error?

I love the price though...but damn, I wish it were for a film actually worth buying (not thread-crapping, just saying).

Is there any chance that all of WB's upcoming titles will be priced this nicely on Amazon?

I'd say there is a possibility... Amazon keeps doing these weird pricing "errors" every so often. I remember they had National Treasure 1 and 2 at $20 or under I think for a few days on Blu, and they also had Dan in Real Life for real cheap too.

Not really sure what's going on here, but I won't complain.

Are you sure? Comparing the listings at DeepDiscount the 2DVD SD version contains two versions of the movie, the BR listing only mentions one.

Ok, I mean I ordered this, because it is a fair price and I wanted the movie, but why do threads keep popping up about new release films on BD for about $20 with HOT all over them. I mean $19 is a fair price, but by no means hot - I guess if you usually buy the day it comes out it might be, but before the end of the "war" I seldom paid $20 for any HD release (my average was about $12). The prices on most BD are so bad right now I have pretty much stopped buying movies. FOX finally dropped some MSRPs, but not on everything like they should have.

hidefdigest.com review says the BD has the alternate version and theatrical version plus some extras not included on the HD DVD version.

Umm, that's because the "war" is over. That's why these type of prices are considered HOT. In the "Do you want the format war to continue?" thread you said that you doubted that BOGO-type deals would continue. And you were right, they haven't... so relative to the current post-war climate, this pricing is a deal.

I guess I did say that, I guess I was correct. Still, HOT!! seems a little extreme for a price of $18.95 when you have been in this forum for as long as we have. That kind of hyperbole used to be saved for deals that got you movies for next to nothing not a deal where you got something at a reasonable price. I don't disagree that this is a deal in the current climate - I mean I did order it.

Do you want the thread to be titled LUKE WARM!!! rather than HOT? Any good movie for under 20 bucks on BD is a good deal to me. Averaging 12-15 bucks apeice on a B1G1F is even better but I still think this is a good deal. Especially considering that the SD version of the movie is more expensive than this and not in HD.

Considering every B&M is selling this for $29.99, i think it's considered Hot.

Exactly.

Thank you.

It's hot because where else other than DDD can you find I Am Legend for $18.95? It's $30 - $35 at every other retail store in their advertisements for the week, and then you have to pay tax on top of it.
