HBO Blu-ray sale at BestBuy.com and Amazon
This appears to be only on Bestbuy.com, not in stores, and Amazon is matching and beating Best Buy's price on a lot of them.
Here's the post from Blu-ray.com (I hope it's okay to post a link here): http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=5643
Some good deals to be had, a lot of them the lowest price ever, especially if combined with the $10 RZ gift certificate: http://forum.dvdtalk.com/blu-ray-bar...christmas.html

It appears that Amazon is beating every BB price by $1 exactly... I would order The Pacific, but I want to see if I can find the BB exclusive one first. It isn't available for in-store pickup anywhere, so the odds are slim...

I'm surprised there isn't more talk about Deadwood. If I'm interested in it, is there a reason not to jump on it immediately? It seems like the lowest price around by quite a bit, and not likely to be much lower anytime in the near future, correct?

I was going to try and wait for the 60-70 mark but with that unlikely happening in the near future I went ahead and bit. I also own the complete series dvd set which I will either gift or sell to someone.

I wish I'd waited on Deadwood. Pre-ordered it for $138, then Amazon dropped it by $13 days afterwords, now this. I'd have jumped on this price, though.
Picked up The Pacific today, though.

It's not worth $94 to upgrade from SD.

Then again, it's the rare TV series that I would want to watch more than once and rarer still that I would want to watch more than twice so ...

$50 and then they take something like 25%. Much easier just sending it off to Amazon.

But if you don't have the time or energy to sell it yourself yet have the time and energy to post on the Internet, indeed trade it back to Amazon. They will love you for it.

The lowest used price on Amazon Marketplace is 68 dollars and Amazon's cut is 15 percent. That's why I said (ballpark figure) you would be netting about 50 bucks.
But if you don't have the time or energy to sell it yourself yet have the time and energy to post on the Internet, indeed trade it back to Amazon. They will love you for it.

I am so tempted to order Deadwood and John Adams at Amazon, $93.99 and $31.49
And check out the DVDTALK REVIEW on Deadwood BD..........and John Adams BD.

Re: HBO Blu-ray sale at BestBuy.com and Amazon
Ive never seen a single episode of Deadwood but I am a huge western fan, does the series have a good ending or did the show get cancelled without much warning?

^^Canceled without any warning, from what I understand. Sounds like virtually zero on the storylines of the previous episodes were wrapped up.
I also picked up the Pacific. Still considering Deadwood.

3 times I've believed that I'd made my last purchase of 2010 and each time I've been wrong.
True Blood seasons 1 and 2 were just too good to pass up on (and, while not BDs, I snagged all 3 seasons of Veronica Mars for about $60).
My wife likes TB more than I do, but the more I think about it, the more I like the idea of having it. Only season 2 was on the mediocre side. Season 1 was fun and season 3 was very good.
And it's a show I won't mind waiting again until the next big sale to pick up season 3, whenever the one gets released.
Hope HBO releases Big Love on BD after the series ends, but I don't expect it.

I enjoy Deadwood ( I say enjoy because I haven't seen all 3 seasons yet) but I don't recommend it to too many people. This is not your typical Western. I would make sure to read a few reviews before blind buying. If you like Westerns and The Sopranos you should be fine.
