Can you do multiple items in one order and have the coupon apply, or do you have to order them all separately?

Coupon applies to any and all eligible titles in your cart. Got Hellboy and Donnie Brasco for under $20 shipped the other day.

Re: $9.99 Sony Blu-Ray Titles at Amazon.com

Thanks doctorthodt. For some reason it's not letting me do it. I already have a $20 promotional credit in there, I guess that nixes this coupon. Now I have to go order something else to free up the account for a coupon.

And thanks to the OP for posting the info, as well.

Are any of these titles severely lacking extras available on the previous dvd? Or any have terrible transfers?

Of the 4 I ordered, all got positive reviews in terms of the transfer and carrying over the extras from the standard DVD.

Starship Troopers has an audio sync problem and some copies have a defect where the same clip is repeated. Sony sent out discs that fixed the repeated scene, but not the audio sync.

Wow, glad I ordered it this time before the price went back up....I missed out on the Lost season 1-5 BD deal at $144 last week because I waited too long...

Gandhi and A Few Good Men were part of this sale earlier too - I'm assuming they still are. They net out a couple of bucks higher though.

They still are part of this. Thanks for the heads up!

Any details on the audio sync problem?

I've watched both versions of the disc, and if there's a sync problem... it is very slight. I do not notice it.

The audio is out of sync by a few frames for the entire film. You notice it the most in close-ups. If you want to avoid that, the region free UK version is fine.

I didn't notice the sync problem either. Watched the whole movie.

I did notice the repeated footage in the outpost scene, but even that was minor enough to not make it worth it to mail in for a replacement. I don't excuse the mistake, but it's not time I'd care to spend.

Bummer. A bunch have gone up to 14.99 pre-coupon, taking them out of my price range post-coupon.

Re: $9.99 Sony Blu-Ray Titles at Amazon.com

Amazon's deals rarely last long. If you want something at Amazon, you should buy as soon as you see the deal. Otherwise, it's a gamble when it'll end. Typically the prices drop to price match another site and change when the other site changes, so they'll rarely last more than a week and usually less.

For me the numerous $9.99 Blu Ray deals I keep seeing at Amazon, Best Buy, Fry's, and Walmart almost always have the same conclusion... if it's a movie I like 99% of the time I already own the movie on SD DVD (typically purchased new for $3-$5) and I can't justify another $10 just to get a somewhat better picture.

My double dipping on BRs won't start happening until they end up in the $5 bin.
