Re: Amazon.com Discounts and Deals on Blu-ray
Are the Matrix blu-rays encoded with Java or whatever it is that prevents a player from memorizing your last view spot if you hit the stop button? I love blu-rays otherwise - but that one aspect is annoying as hell. Any one know if there's a chance that in the future there will be some sort of firmware update that will overcome this? [Maybe not this year or next year, but someday?]

As Easy's mention of Avatar's feature points out, any resume/bookmarking feature can be enabled by the disc itself. Studios need to program it in when authoring the discs though.

I kind of feel bad for target. They had some great movies at great prices this week and amazon matches them a half week in advance stealing their thunder.

Target could easily respond. It's not like Blu-rays are their bread n butter there.

It was just MSRP drops that Amazon did right away instead of waiting for retailers to catch up (remember, they plan on weekly ads well into a month ahead).

Not really, like Gizmo said they have their ads printed out and planned well in advance. Amazon can do these things essentially at the last second. There's really no one way for Target to do something except say an in-store correction to ad sign and they would NEVER do that unless it is a pricing mistake that would be a financial loss for them. They simply do not pricematch online prices(per pricematch rules, although some might get them to) and they really do not need to.

That means they set sale prices sometimes a month in advance, since they've got to design the circular and print them before they're sent off.

I've spent some time in the newspaper advertising industry, and I know that national circulars are dropped off at the distribution centers for sorting roughly two, sometimes three, weeks in advance. They keep them under lock and key, shrink-wrapped in a cell similar to the Battlestar brig, well before they actually toss 'em in the Sunday edition.

It takes time to lay out, time to print, time to move them to the paper, time to move them to the offices, time to put them in to the paper. Where Amazon could be done in less time then it took me to type this.
I do see sometime very soon no paper printed ads and all the ads online.

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon pre-order is down to $16.99. Not a bargain yet but that's the lowest it's been.
The Mask of Zorro is $12.49. I'm hoping for a lower price on Black Friday.

It's part of the Godzilla sale going on now, some good deals on the SD Godzilla DVDs, but the original Godzilla movie on Blu-ray doesn't appear to be included in the sale.
