Appreciate the post however once again nothing really blows my skirt up. Every one of the $14.99's should be $9.99 - $12.99 by now.

I probably should have known better than to think The White Ribbon would be in the ad.

I think I'll wait for Hot Tub Time Machine to go below $20. No way I'm paying $26.99 for it.

CinemaNow $5 GC? LOL. All the movies are in SD. I really wish LG/Best Buy would spruce that up since it's lacking compared to every other VOD service (VuDu, 360, PS3, Amazon VOD etc.)

Yep, we do. But like I said, everything is in SD and the selection is pretty crappy. It's pretty meh.

I will most likely be picking up Hot Tub Time Machine and will eventually get The Crazies when it is $15 or less. Thanks OP!

Is there any mention of Rush's 'Beyond The Lighted Stage' disc?

Want Percy Jackson and Hot Tub Time Macine, but refuse to spend more than $20 on a film.

Wasn't too crazy about the Crazies
Felt it was trying way too hard to be like the Dawn of the Dead remake because it was another Romero film...it even starts with a Johnny Cash song.

Cute movie funny as hell in away I remember the 80s. Still under $10 ya, over $20 they need to fill the bowl and light it for me 1st, and give me another full bowl then. Yup. A stone buy

It looks like the only bonus features on the DVD for Hot Tub will be deleted scenes, rated and unrated versions of the movie. BD has alot more bonus material, so I will definitely pick the BB Exclusive combo pack. $26.99 isn't a bunch of $$ for 2 movies (which is what you're getting, only it's 2 versions of the same movie).

Eh, that will work. Not at all happy about the price, but I planned on getting it on release day and I still like getting the dvd since I can lend it out and not worry about letting people have my BD. That's worth the extra 2 bucks (Amazon), especially with RZ factored in.

My thought exactly, I just cancelled my Amazon pre-order.

I would imagine that the theme is on the disc. That would be the most likely scenario

Just look at the weekly "What are you getting thread", apparently quite a few people have no problem spending these marked up prices. Then look at all the crazies paying even more just to buy a steelbook.

Lol, I've still yet to see why people are so fascinated and obsessed with steelbooks.
