Re: Amazon Black Friday Sales Start Monday, November 22nd
I just bought John Adams on DVD as a gift ($18.99) for someone; picked up The Secret in Their Eyes as a blind buy to get free shipping. I'm hoping the latter is good.

Speculation on why it happens ranges from customer returns to excess inventory returned to a distributor and then used to fill an Amazon order.

Does anyone know if there's any way of knowing whether the James Bond Blu-ray box sets are the original, flimsy foam hub package versions or the later, individual hard cases versions? $30 per box is damn attractive, and since I've had so many playback problems with my Ultimate Edition DVDs I'm in the market to begin upgrading my Bond library.

Re: Amazon Black Friday Sales Start Monday, November 22nd
Amazon really deserves some applause for how they've setup these lightning deals. It seems like, as long as you remember when a deal starts, you're going to get in on it. And the new wait list makes it even better.
The title choices could always be bigger, and the prices could always be smaller, but the thrill of the deal got me to pick up at least one title I wouldn't have purchased otherwise, so maybe they know what they're doing.

I have the same question. $10 per film is a great price, but I don't want to worry about scratched discs and the inability to discard the box if MGM never releases the rest of the BDs in these box sets.
I did a quick check of Amazon customer comments on these box sets but at least one person wrote in 2009 about getting them in individual cases and at least one person wrote in 2010 about getting them in the foam packaging. So I'm a little nervous about placing an order.

I'm a whopping TWO CENTS under the Free Shipping minimum. What do you guys think about getting the Blu Ray of TIME BANDITS. It's gotten lousy reviews, but I'm having trouble coming up with something that isn't very expensive to get my free shipping. I would do the Prime Trial, but I don't know how much I'll be using it in the next month and you can only do the free trial once, right? I figured maybe I should save it. Anyway, I need TWO CENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Justified S1 is $21.86 at Walmart.com, but I'm not sure about their free shipping (or ship to store) policies on pre-orders.

Re: Amazon Black Friday Sales Start Monday, November 22nd
This is how every thread post response should start. lol.
I was kind of hoping we would see additional price drops (besides lightning deals) each day this week. It started off pretty good Monday and there were a few more Tuesday, but I don't think there were many of significance today. Hopefully Friday there will be a bunch that drop. I'm definitely not complaining, as I have knocked a whole bunch of stuff off my wishlist, including a couple items that have been on there for years, so a big thumbs up so far.

Re: Amazon Black Friday Sales Start Monday, November 22nd
Has anyone ordered the Hangover Unrated from Amazon for $10 and gotten it? I know it's too late to get the slip, but is the digital copy still in there?
The case shown on Amazon is just the same case in my slipcover (this one I'm considering is for a gift) and it has the BD on one side and the DC on the other.
I'm hoping they just have bad info on Amazon and that the version they have now is just the slipcover version minus the slipcover.
If anyone can help with this, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I would definitely buy the condom, but the one I've been using over and over again still seems to work just fine.
Jack, excellent idea on the old MGM stuff as it's fast going OOP and most likely never to show up again except for MOD.
And RIOT, what a fantastic web site! Outside of my industrial strength Ronco never needs replacing condom, the internet must surely be the most amazing invention of our time! Maybe I'll splurge and get that High Performance Cryogenically Treated Jobber Length Drill for 41 cents.
