Those three packs are amazing if you truly love all three flicks (which I do with Funny Guy). Fantastic! Maybe one day the one with Princess Bride will drop.

Igor at $9.99 is a tough decision (never having seen it), but I think I'll pass. I haven't seen Quantum of Solace, but it's a James Bond so I must buy it... so the question is do I buy it now for $9.99 knowing there will be a double-dip edition in the next year or two? You never know when Amazon's prices will change.

Regarding those $21.99 3-packs, I checked several of them and many are single layer Blu-Rays which kind of bothers me. Plus I have at least 1 if not 2 of each pack on SD. The Predator and Commando (2 of my favorites) Blu-Ray reviews I read weren't exactly glowing. So I'm not ordering any packs.

Live Free or Die Hard is also $8.99.

Thanks for all your hard work on this thread kk725, but I'm really starting to hate it. I'm just spending too much money!!!

Excellent, another Black Friday deal crossed off my list. No need to fight the lines. I love Amazon. Thanks!

Wow! That's way too good to pass up. I've ordered Children of the Corn, Never Say Never Again, Raging Bull and Coraline (14.99) today. It's going to be a very expensive week!

Pretty sure the next Bond is two yrs away... $10 for a couple yrs is pretty good imo.

Others on my list that dropped:
State of Play 17.99 (was hoping this would be even lower)
Full Metal Jacket SE 10.99

Oh man, I love this Prime free trial with 2-day shipping and one click ordering. This could get nasty for me. :lol:

I just used it for the first time to get that Raging Bull Blu-ray, awesome deal!

It sounds like they are price matching JR.com's black friday BD sale. All of the 8.99 titles mentioned above are part of it. Spaceballs and Passion of the Christ are also 8.99 at both stores right now...

Also $8.99
Never Say Never Again
From Russia With Love
Die Another Day

Wow, 1-click rocks! I'm impressed that it is smart enough to automatically combine 1-click items into one order, instead of shipping out a bunch of single BD's by UPS one at a time...

I'm with you on that. It's a love/hate relationship. ;)

Main post updated with latest... thanks, all. Keep 'em coming!

Ok...Raging Bull pushed me in for an order - that plus QoS and John Adams which had been sitting in my cart. I had a gift card for a survey I did and thought this would work. Besides, I know that some of these will jump back up sometime soon...

I've been afraid to use 1-click ordering. I just searched in the Help section about this and it says:

"If you click the Buy now with 1-Click button on any product page, your order will be automatically charged to the default payment method on your account and shipped to the default address--you skip the shopping cart. To learn more about 1-Click ordering, click on specific topics in the "Related Links" section below."

It sounds like you hit 1-click and the order is completed without you clicking anything else. Is this correct? Or if you hit 1-click ordering do you jump to the final order screen and still have to hit the Submit Order button? Hopefully the latter.

In my experience, 1-click on Amazon is literally ONE click. You hit that button, you're redirected to an "Order Complete" screen.

Wow that price for Raging Bull is amazing, I'm sick of upgrading tho....
These local places give you nothing for trade ins.... lol
Only way I'd consider it if it had some new features or a different version which it doesn't...

Manzana 11-23-09 07:54 PM

re: Amazon.com Discounts and Deals on Blu-ray
 
kk725, thanks for the answer. I guess I won't use 1 click ordering with the Lightning deals if it submits the order without being able to see the final price first because I'm afraid it might not give me the right price, promotions, or coupons. I suppose if you're really fast you might be able to cancel an order with an incorrect price before it enters the "shipping soon" state. So I'll stick with the slower, old fashioned way on these Lightning deals and hope they don't run out befoer I can submit.

Torchur317, you're right about local places giving nothing for trade-ins. I assume you're talking about FYE or one of its relatives. You used to be able to get a few bucks but now most stuff is barely worth $1-$2... even some Blu-Rays. I'm sick of upgrading too which is why I'm passing on so many $9.99 BRs. If I didn't already have the SDs, $9.99 for a BR would be OK. I'll keep waiting for BRs to become cheaper. When you have the SD, unless it's a crappy transfer, SD upconversion is good enough for now.

When you use 1-click they give you 30 minutes before they do anything to the order to give you time to go back and check on everything.

After hitting 1-Click, the order is placed, but you've still got 30 minutes to add more items or cancel before the order starts to really process.

Wow! I just got an email from Amazon letting me know that they have shipped out my Raging Bull BD.
