Re: Best Price on Back to the Future?
Chances are that your DVD set is defective, too. The BTTF II & III discs that were bad, and there was a period where buyers could send in the defective DVD for a corrected version.

That's true. The only thing holding me back from buying the BD BTTF trilogy is it's above my price point. However, they are among my favorite films and sometimes I'll make exceptions for those. What makes me hesitant is remembering this: in 2002 when the DVD trilogy set came out I paid almost full price ($39.99) because that was back before I learned my lesson the hard way about price drops. I still haven't opened it up, and it has been as cheap as $10.49 on Amazon. If I pay $45 for the BD trilogy, I expect the same story to repeat.

looks like $42.95 if you've got an ultimate electronics store near you:

You have to figure that this and something like the Sound of Music will be cheaper come holiday time. I won't go to a store at midnight or 3 AM. I am really hoping Amazon comes through with some great bargains like last year.

I don't really know about that to be honest. These sets usually take a while to go on sale really cheap. It might be a little less but I doubt anything too largely discounted especially only being out a month or so when the holiday shopping season starts.

If you don't want digital copies, you can get the regular UK set from Amazon UK for around $43. The collector's set is about $20 more.

See I'm thinking exactly the opposite. After these sets are out for about 2-3 weeks and everyone who is a die hard fan has made their purchases, the set goes "stagnant". B&M stores will all have ordered more than they really genuinely could have expected to sell. They will therefore put stuff like this on sale on Black Friday as a loss-leader to get people into the store. That has been the pattern in the past. Here's hoping. Otherwise, I'm waiting until Universal does an MSRP drop on this set. I'm sticking at 30 bucks and some change.

Back to the Future Trilogy Blu-Ray is $41.98 + $2.99 shipping = $44.97 shipped from Newegg right now:

Not as cheap as UE, but not everyone has a UE around (I do but they still don't carry movies). Of course as the perpetual cheapskate, I'm going to wait for the price to drop closer to $30 before pulling the trigger.

$10 per movie is my price point so not buying until it hits $30 or less. Guys, blu-rays prices are dropping like a rock. It is foolish to pay full price now.

I don't see it as foolish for paying full price if this is a set you've really wanted for a long time. Either way, as much as I love this series, the Alien set won out, so I'm sinking my dough for that - and several others. I can wait for a sale for this one. Hopefully it'll come soon.

On the off chance it drops down quite a bit lower for black friday, then I will simply buy it again and return on the original reciept since black friday falls on the 26th exactly one month from now.
Besides 14.44 a movie for each Back to the future movie is not bad in my opinon

IN YOUR OPINION. Christ. This is the BARGAINS forum. Don't come in knocking people for saying "I am waiting for X price."
This is a trend I am seeing more and more.
IN MY EDUCATED BY THE WAY DVD HAS DEVALUED OPINION, more than $10 per film is too much. Your Amount may be $20. Quit knocking people for how they value something, as they don't go "You paid too much!!"

Re: Best Price on Back to the Future?
Maye the title should have been "Lowest Price on Back to the Future".. then maybe there wouldn't be so much complaining.. It must be because "best" is relative to the max we all set on what we spend per movie.. just saying..
