re: Canadian DVD Bargains
I assume this is the discussion topic requested in this thread?
http://forum.dvdtalk.com/forum-feedb...-bargains.html
If so, can a moderator change the title so it doesn't seem like a thread devoted to one particular show?
Here are a couple of bargains I've stumbled across recently:
Wal-Mart (in-store):
CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: DAWN TREADER (Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy Combo) - $15 (down from $32.93)
HMV (in-store):
ROGER CORMAN COLLECTION - Bloody Mama / A Bucket of Blood / The Trip / Premature Burial / The Young Racers / Gas-s-s / The Wild Angels / X: The Man With X-Ray Eyes (DVD) $15
BEST BUY (in-store/online):
BACK TO THE FUTURE TRILOGY (Blu-ray, in single-width case with slipcover) - $34.99 (ends Thurs. Nov. 17)
FUTURE SHOP (in-store/online):
LORD OF THE RINGS: EXTENDED TRILOGY (15-disc Blu-ray/DVD boxed set) - $54.99 (ends Dec. 10)
Nice to finally have a dedicated thread for deals from up here. They're admittedly rare -- which is why I maintain a U.S. address -- but they do turn up.

re: Canadian DVD Bargains
I saw on another board that the Borzage at fox set is at HMV in Canada for 89.00
http://hmv.ca/Products/Detail/399074.aspx
I don't live there but it could help those who do.

re: Canadian DVD Bargains
Might have to take another look at that one this weekend. Guess I didn't realize what I had in my hands. HMV's flagship store downtown has a massive selection of boxed sets—but any real bargains are just mixed in with everything else, so you tend to just spot things by accident. The rest of the stores also have increased selections of boxed and gift sets at the moment. Can't remember too many spectacular savings, although they did have:
ALIEN ANTHOLOGY (Blu-ray) $59.99
http://hmv.ca/Products/Detail/592856.aspx
If you click the yellow "gift sets" sticker, you can see other items available. Not all the best prices, but a few good deals in there.

re: Canadian DVD Bargains
If you have the massive John Ford at Fox set that came out before it, you'll now the thing is a huge set. As this set weighs something like that one. I got The john Ford set in some bn.com deal a while ago. Would love to have this one too. I wish I could get to HMV now.

I don't have the Ford set, but I've held it. It's on HMV's website—and highly overpriced as usual—but I don't recall seeing it in stores here for a couple of years now. Just checked price of the Murnau/Borzage box against the price at Amazon U.S., and you're right, that's a substantial savings you don't find up here too often.

re: Canadian DVD Bargains
This should probably be in the Blu-ray Deals forum, but hopefully other Canadians might find it useful even if it's buried in here.
Best Buy Canada has the following, lesser Blu-ray titles on for $4.99
FASTER
NINE
EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL
PANDORUM
LAW-ABIDING CITIZEN
ATONEMENT
THE SACRIFICE (2011)
FUBAR
THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE
Buying them at Future Shop, instead of Best Buy, allows you to take advantage of Future Shop's price-match policy, which matches $4.99 and subtracts another 10% off the difference, which in the case of some of these, is rather substantial. For example, LAW-ABIDING CITIZEN works out to $3.93 tax-in, FASTER to $3.62 tax-in. Probably not the greatest selection of titles, but nonetheless these are fairly reasonable prices either way.
Incidentally, the $34.99 price on the BACK TO THE FUTURE Blu-ray set at Best Buy appears to be held over until New Year's, so price matching that one at Future Shop (where's it grossly overpriced at $68.99) should bring the price down to $31.59 before tax.

Robocop Trilogy - $10 @ HMV + other sale items
HMV has a decent sale going on right now
The best deal IMO from the titles I saw was the Robocop Trilogy from MGM for $10
http://hmv.ca/Products/Detail/449690.aspx
The first Robocop is the unrated version that the director had to edit to get the MPAA to lower the rating from X to R.
Even on Amazon.com it runs for over $30
http://www.amazon.com/Robocop-Trilog...1833002&sr=8-1
Link to full list of sale items organized by price:
http://hmv.ca/Promotions.aspx
As an aside can a mod edit out that Hogan's Hero's reference in the title? When I created the thread I didn't realize that the titles couldn't be changed after a period of time.

LORD OF THE RINGS EXTENDED TRILOGY down to $44.99 at Amazon.ca. Rare to see Canada get a lower price than the U.S., but I suppose it happens.

Anyone happen to know of other Canadian DVD releases with more features than the American ones?

NINJA WARS
LEGEND OF THE EIGHT SAMURAI
RESURRECTION OF THE GOLDEN DRAGON
as seen here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0030VBGFY/
FIGHT DRAGON: THE COMPLETE SERIES (Mill Creek)
as seen here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00310PSU8/
MARTIAL ARTS 20 MOVIE PACK (Mill Creek) public domain stuff, but still good value for $1.00

Re: Canadian DVD Bargains
Amazon.ca has most of the TCM Greatest Classic collections on sale for $12.49. They've probably been cheaper, but rarely the whole lot at the same time:
