Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

Here are some links to various useful sites for tracking Amazon prices. Some of these have been suggested by numerous people over the last four threads. I list the earliest post of which I became aware. The ones I find most useful:That link lists all recent price drops in order. The variant I prefer is this one: New Lowest Prices.These variants may be useful: Amazon list sorted by price
Amazon list sorted by size of discount

Another site, mentioned by several here, which is useful for checking price history is camelcamelcamel A Google search will come up with a number of other sites that also specialize in tracking Amazon prices. An advantage of camelcamelcamel, and other such sites, is that you can look up the price history for things other than DVDs/BDs, for example, a Blu-ray Disc player, CD, book, and so forth.

That should be enough resources to get people started.

Newcomers, please don't be reticent about posting good Amazon deals that you happen across. Better a deal gets posted twice than not at all.


New lows (from 12-6-10):

Re: Amazon Black Friday Sales Start Monday, November 22nd
 

Magnificent Seven $24.49 (regular price $69.99)

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

District 9 link is not set up right lizard :)

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

Thanks for the new thread. No idea why Adam thought I was taking it too seriously though...not my intent at all. I just wanted to avoid the confusion of people wandering looking for Amazon deals and not seeing them. Not sure why it was bad of me to think the Black Friday thread was no longer valid. Either way, thanks for the new thread and a huge thanks to Lizard for always posting the goods. :)

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

I would love to buy Space:1999 on BD, but it will be SOOOO expensive buying them one season at a time, especially since I own the complete DVD collection already...

Fixed. Thanks.

I'm going to put a plug in for Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. It is a steal for $6.99. Anyone with a good surround sound system will want this BD to show it off. And it is a good introduction to the Patrick O'Brian novels from which the movie screenplay was adapted.

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

Thanks lizard. Best thread title ever :)

Re: "Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)"
 

^It wasn't my thread title, Adam Tyner "hijacked" my post from the other thread and created this one. Which is fine by me.

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

Love this thread. You guys are the best.

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

Damn, LTROI for $9? In for that.

Edit- The BDs are all coming with theatrical subs now, right?

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

You were a bit abrupt and basically gave an order to change the title as opposed to perhaps asking in a softer questioning tone. (as in "Can we start a new thread since Black Friday is no longer in effect? People might be missing out on deals if they think everything here is just Black Friday discussions.")

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

I think thats the point Adam was making. You're too worried about other peoples confusion. :lol:

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

My apologies that it came off in that tone. That wasn't my intent.

Back to our regularly scheduled confusion! :)

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

I'm sorely tempted. I love this movie and this is even cheaper than it was on Black Friday. But my collection is bursting at the seams and I'm trying to keep only one version of a movie wherever possible. And I have the two-disc DVD and the BD drops a lot of the extras from it.

Still tempted. What to do?

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

Apocalypse Now (2-disc) dropped another dollar to $18.99. I guess I'm in at that price.

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

Wow...noticed American Werewolf and Vanishing Point at $8.99 each. I'd be all over those prices if I didn't own them already.

It's going to be a long holiday season in the pocketbook if amazon keeps bringing prices like these coupled with the free Prime.

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

What's funny about this one is. I started last year saying if it was this price I would buy it. Back then it was $18.99 or so. If it was $15 I would buy it. When it was $14.99 if it was $12 I would buy it, if it was $10, 8.00. Ok if it was $5. Had a Amazon $2.00 making it $4.99. Dam Amazon!

On space 1999(I need a new Eagle One, anyone have a metal one they want to sell?), DVD or Blu-Ray I do not think it would help any. Unless they have many extras like TZ.

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

No shit. It's just too tempting knowing that all I have to do is click a button and I can have the UPS man show up at my door with the movie within 24 hours.

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

I was "sold" the movie by a friend on the same argument and have to concur. Between the booms and the creaks, I thought my house was falling down.

Good flick too and at that price? No brainer IMO.

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

Let the Right One in - $8.99 lowest I've seen.

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

is Magnificent Seven worth that price? Never seen it and thought about a blind buy.

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

The first movie was great... the rest are far far far less so. So you get 1 movie and four coasters for that price.

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

Yup, I have a DroidX with the Amazon.com appt. Damit, I can now buy and walk at the sametime.

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

Its funny you would bring this up. Years ago when I got my 1st SS. I had a hockey game (Ducks) and I could hear all the bitching in the background. As time when on I could not hear it as clear. It will be ship sometime in the next day or so.

BTW Amazon is slower to ship out orders now. I have items that was order last week that has not ship yet. Then again I had order place Fri (Shrek, and the other one) come today.

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

Does the Let the Right One In BD have the corrected theatrical subtitles? Did the first pressing have the same problems as the DVD?

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

I ordered this one about a month ago from Amazon, and the copy I received had the corrected subs, so I'd say it's fairly safe to assume that's what they're shipping now. :)

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

^ Thanks, I just ordered it. I've heard such great things about the movie that it likely would have been a week one purchase if it hadn't been for the subtitles issue. With this price, I'm glad I waited.

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

Figures Breaking Bad season 1 would drop after I got it on their Black Friday sale.

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

I winced when I saw that too. I got in on the $16 deal at DD a few weeks (months?) back, and was stuck in backorder limbo ever since...then lo and behold, they shipped me Season 1 just a few days ago. Still waiting on Season 2.

Too bad Amazon hasn't dropped the price on Season 2 to $13.99 also. I would cancel that backorder with DD in a heartbeat.

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

You may want to do your homework on this one. The U.S. release initially had major subtitle differences, for which I think they were resolved, but not sure. This is a link from the DVDCompare.net page.

In addition, if you care about such things as I do, the U.S. release does not contain the director/author commentary. I ended up getting the UK release.

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

Hopefully clappj's post means that there aren't any more copies with the botched subs in Amazon's warehouse. Though, it won't be hard to obtain a replacement if you do receive the wrong one. And $9 is a pretty damn magical price. :up:

But I also recommend the Momentum UK version. It's a bit more expensive at $17 over at Amazon UK, yet it does have a few added special features, the theatrical subs, and a Master Audio track. Plus, they've released some new tie-in artwork for Let Me In that's extremely sexy. I ordered it myself over Black Friday and received the new re-pressing, though I've read of others who ordered it at the middle of last month and ended up with the old packaging. Same disc, just looks different.

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

I noticed after I asked the same question that Amazon has it listed as having the corrected theatrical subs

Old lows that haven't gone up yet:

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

I agree with you. Went back and read the end of the thread, and Adam was actually the one that was taking things way too seriosuly. I actually considered posting the exact same thing you did a couple of days after black friday.

Re: Amazon Discounts and Deals Thread #7 (is it #7? I'll pretend it is)
 

You're evil. I hope you know that. ;)
