Jesus....how much more can they charge for them? Also...The Fall has to go down at some point. It's been at that price for too long.

I Know What You Did Last Summer and The Craft are the only two I'm even mildly interested in.

Can't I just have Mirrormask at 33% off of their regular price?

Re: Amazon B2G1 Sale
 
Interested in Go,Starman, and Craft. Not sure if I can pull with those prices though.

Re: Amazon B2G1 Sale
 
Maybe three decent titles in that list. But not at those prices.

More "SALES" like this and you can start planning your Sunday visits to the dead format cemetery.

Re: Amazon B2G1 Sale
 
Most of these were $9.99 last week. WOuld have been a better deal at - 3 for $30, instead of 3 for $40-ish.

I'd like Monty Python's Life Of Brian - The Immaculate Edition [Blu-ray] (1979), but not for the $20 they are asking. Maybe $5.

I'd pay $10 for it... That's the only title on the list I'd have interest in...

Right now at gohastings.com you can buy the SD edition of A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT used for 89 cents plus 30% off of that. Or you can buy the Blu-Ray during this "sale" for $27.99. Which do you think the average DVD collector is going to buy?

The folks at the studio who determine what movies are going to be released in Blu-Ray and at what price point are dooming the format to failure. I only bought a Blu player because my SD bit the dust, it was a very good price and has excellent upconversion. So far I only have a few Blu titles and given the focus on primarily recent films, I won't be too involved in collecting. But to see how boneheaded all of this has been from the very beginning, with one imbecilic move after another and the continually pervasive image of studios alienating consumers rather than attracting them, I have little optimism of it ever becoming mainstream.

I really want The Thirteenth Floor but I don't think I can swing these prices.

JimRochester 02-09-10 05:38 PM

Re: Amazon B2G1 Sale
 
I already own or have seen the couple I find remortely interesting. Since the beginning of BR Amazon jacks the prices on these B2G1 and limits the selection

johnbook 02-10-10 01:17 AM

Re: Amazon B2G1 Sale
 
Wow the only one i would want from those choices is "A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT" great movie IMO, but what a shitty list of movies and the prices suck.

What no love for Blue Thunder?
I recently purchased the DVD version and thought the movie held up nicely. I saw this when it was first released in the theaters the impressive part about this movie is that the flying scenes with the helicopter were real.
They actually built a copter to look like that ,today it would all be computer generated.

I'm with ya there Snake. I've been waiting for The Fall to <S>fall</S> come down in price for a while.

Word. $8 and they've got my money. "If you were any less black, you'd be clear!" Great stuff.

I believe this deal is dead. But now, a few of these now have lower prices now.

These were $19.99, but now:
Star Man ($12.99)
The Thirteenth Floor ($12.99)
The Deep ($12.99)
Blue Thunder ($13.49)

I didn't check all the prices, but some are still their same price.
