I'm probably going to pick this up. Maybe I didn't give it a fair shot the first time I watched it.
I still pray every morning that Flightplan will drop to $9.99 and I figured it was a Disney thing that kept the price up in the $20's. I love Jodie Foster, but this was an average film so I won't budge until it's a real deal.

Re: Amazon.com Discounts and Deals on Blu-ray Part II
Dragon Hunters is on my list as a "blind buy". I read some very positive reviews about it, but I'm still a little hesitant at $9.99. It shows the list price as $12.99 (so $9.99 isn't a huge discount). Does that mean $12.99 is as high as it'll go once Amazon jacks the sale price back up, or does Amazon fiddle with the list price just as much as the sale price?
I'd wait to see if it goes a bit lower.

Re: Amazon.com Discounts and Deals on Blu-ray Part II
The question for me when upgrading from DVD to BD is always: ditch your DVD copy to where? If you find somewhere that'll give you more than $1-$2 for it (the typical FYE price), please let me know. I have a lot of DVDs I'd be thrilled to get a few bucks for... both used and unopened. In the meantime, I assume that I'll get $0 for all my old DVDs and am stuck with them forever (like my laserdiscs I never had time to sell before they became worth $0). If I knew I could get even $3 that would allow me to raise my DVD to BD upgrade price point.

My replaced DVDs always end up on Half.com. Sometimes you get a couple bucks. Other times, not so much.

Invincible $9.99
The Ultimate Matrix Collection $44.99
I do the same. If I can't get a dollar or so I donate the DVD to my library.

I had emailed them about what happen to the movie. Why they changed the date. They gave me the GC for it being back ordered. It was more then a day late BTW more like two weeks.

Re: Amazon.com Discounts and Deals on Blu-ray Part II
Yeah. I've dumped a few lots on ebay in flat rate boxes, but I don't see the point. I'm pretty much keeping any discs that are worth a damn and using Viva Elite double cases on the BDs to make BD+DVD sets. Keep the DVD cover art in a pile, and toss the case in the boxes of spares I have. I'm actually getting close to having all my remaining DVD in those nice Warner/Paramount cases by shuffling things around and merging sets. My current debate is whether or not to combine movies in a series across the 2 formats. I put all 3 Ocean's movies in a 3-disc BD case despite 12 being SD. I'll probably wind up doing it for others as well. I need to score some of the 4-6 disc Viva Elite blu cases if I'm really going to consolidate though.
Once I hit 1,700 disc I put them in cases. I do not even waste my time in trying to sell them. Most of the time it will cost more. I have a good system (as with most) so I really do not upgrade much. But when I do I put the DVD and Blu-ray in the same case. I also do not let ANYONE! use my Blu-rays so I can let them use a DVD. So far they have all came back.

Is it me or is 2 a much more enjoyable film than 1? I think 1 is probably the better film but....2 has a lot more cooler stuff for me to enjoy.
