Re: Amazon.com Discounts and Deals on Blu-ray
Since I got the "Complete" series without The Plan (and had to send away for the new packaging... fortunately that was free), I'd like to see The Plan. Most reviews do hate it for some reason. All I know is I enjoyed the series but was let down in the end by a few aspects of it. I read about the full frontal nudity in a review but with no details other than some characters meet in a topless bar... is it really full nudity or just topless? So while my OCD will make me buy this someday just so that spot in my "Complete" collection is no longer empty, $11.99 is too much. I'm surprised that nobody mentioned DeepDiscount has it for $10.78, but even at that price which is basically $10 + tax I'm still very hesitant.

I do own it, after purchasing for $9.99 at Best Buy a few months back, just because I needed to flesh out my replacement Complete Series boxset. Doubtful that I'll watch it again.

I see this complaint quite a bit. There's actually not that much recycled footage in it at all. Most of it is just quick establishing shots to let you know exactly when it's taking place. That said, the movie has it's share of problems. Well worth it for the Anders scenes, though.

Well, if there were good 10 dollar titles a year ago I'm sure that they have added a few more which would mean that there are more "good 10$ titles" now than then. Even Walmart has a nice selection of 10 dollar releases and if you have patience you can get most of the titles that you desire for between 10 and 20 bucks. If you're expecting a handout then you might be waiting awhile.

I know what he meant but when people expect all new releases to be around 20 dollars on release date is asking too much. There are still quite a few titles released around the 20 dollar mark. We know that they can bump down the prices of more releases during that time because they expect to move more copies which will make up the difference. I think that the pricing for BDs has been fair and comparable to dvd prices for new releases. A few more bucks nowadays will often net you the HD version of a movie and a copy of the dvd as well.

That's the point. Myself, as well as a ton of others, DO NOT think that is asking too much. $22 at max, but as fast as prices drop, $20 is not unreasonable at all for a new release.

Hey, can we please keep this thread to just deals, please?
I don't give a shit what you people think about The Plan or what's reasonable for a new release, those are discussions for other threads.

Be reasonable everyone. Every post is not going to be a deal. Every thread derails into a few posts about something mentioned in the thread. Ignore what you don't like. A forum where every thread is heavily moderated to the point where every variation on the topic is censored or moved isn't a community of people talking about a shared hobby, it's a boring list or spreadsheet. I'd rather have a community; enjoying the tangents I like, and politely tolerating the ones that I don't like but others enjoy.

Discussion about the general state of Blu-ray prices, however, probably shouldn't find its way into this particular bargain discussion.

Jet Li's Fist of Legend dropped back down to $11.49.
