Nice deals. Ordered An Affair to Remember, All About Eve, and The Comancheros. Might be worthy of a cross-post in the amazon deals thread.

Thanks for the heads-up Eddie.
Unfortunately, I'll have to pass. The 3 titles I'd normally be interested in all have lousy transfers... Butch Cassidy, Patton, and The Usual Suspects.

Awesome deal...I got them all but Rocky (which I already have on Blu-ray, and it's the one that includes bonus features - the digi-book version is sans-features, sadly).
Ironically, the already-on-sale Tom Cruise Collection popped into my deal list today, so I'm also getting it for $23.75!

If the transfers were more highly regarded, I would have gotten Butch Cassidy for sure and probably Patton too.

Tempting prices on the digibooks, but I already have Terminator, Patton, Rocky and Usual Suspects on BD in non-digibook form. Too bad the deals on the digibooks come so late as to be a moot point. Butch Cassidy, Tora Tora Tora, Affair to Remember, and Comancheros I already have on DVD. I'd like to have them on BD, but not at $9.99 each. Butch Cassidy is worth a $9.99 BD upgrade, but the stories about its bad transfer negate that. I wasn't that fond of the other 2 movies, so I'll wait for them to get cheaper.
I opened my Patton (not digibook) BD before I knew about the transfer issues. I should probably pop it in to see if it's as awful as so many people said. I remember watching the old Gladiator BD before I knew about its "problems". I thought the transfer was perfectly fine, and then sometime later read about the disc exchange program for the defective disc which I didn't notice was defective (so I didn't do the exchange). I was obviously blind or too involved in the movie to notice whatever the problem was.
It'll be interesting to see if all the Supernatural BD seasons stay $18.99 next week. If they do combined with the DVD trade-ins they'd be $13.99 + tax which is cheaper than the $16.88 + tax (net price after factoring in coupon and shipping) I just paid at my un-favorite place WBShop. Fortunately it's only a difference of $12. Too bad I don't have a crystal ball that works. Here I thought under $17 was a good deal for a BD season of a show that I'm actually watching (opposed to sitting on my shelf collecting dust as most do).

For those on the fence about BUTCH & SUNDANCE, Robert Harris is a fan of the Blu-ray and offers a different take than most other reviewers.

Tempted to pick up The Terminator but I think I'll hold out for a better release. Nothing else really grabs me as a must have.

I was about to hop on the Tom Cruise set (which I'm sure he'd love!), but the lack of the 2nd extras disc for Minority Report is bumming me out.

I went for THE HUSTLER which is a safe bet with or without Harris.

I decided not to update any I already have on DVD (Terminator, Butch & Sundance, Usual Suspects, Patton), but did end up getting All About Eve, The Hustler and Tora! Tora! Tora!.

Reading over his piece on the original FC release, his reasoning is well-considered and expressed, and he does address the main issue with that first release...the fact that it did not also include a disc with the film with its original color scheme intact. That omission was a deal-breaker for me and many other fans. It was a problem that was, of course, happily, finally corrected when Fox re-released the film with its original 1971 cinematography on Blu-ray earlier this year.

I had some credit and some points, so it didn't cost me much at all. A couple of those I've been meaning to pick up for a while and almost did a couple of times at higher prices. I guess I'm happy I waited. I was tempted to pick up The Comancheros, especially since I've been on a bit of a Western kick lately, but decided to hold off.
