Sounds like a helluva deal for Amazon. I would have taken that deal too.
I wouldn't be too upset. It's only a matter of time before they charge tax to all 50 states. They see were things are heading and are working on the best deal they can. That's good business. Honestly, they can charge me tax and I wouldn't be too upset; their prices and service would still be better than the competition.

Too much discussion, not enough deals (thats why we have a store forum).

This has been pointed out numerous times to the "guilty" parties, but they say the Store forum is too dead, and therefore won't get the attention that they need.

I feel at some point a mod should step in and hand out warnings to anyone that ventures too far off-topic (like a store discussion), myself included.

John Adams is at 19.99. You have to click over on the right side and buy it directly through Amazon. A third party vendor only has it in stock at the moment, but for the price it's worth the wait.

Re: Amazon Blu-ray Discounts and Deals Thread #27

Threads often detour at times, hence their designation of being a FORUM. Simply ignore the posts you find off topic or impertinent and move on to ones that interest you. Try it, it's not so hard to do. Honestly, I get so fucking tired of all the rules in the world I don't need to have my hobby talk endlessly regulated too.

I agree with the posters saying keep on topic. Yes, it's a discussion forum, but it's one divided by topics. If you want to discuss a new topic, start a new damn thread instead of derailing this one.

Wasn't sure where to post this, so I'll post it here.

Count Of Monte Cristo - $12.99 (from $19.99)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0054PSY5O/

Not sure if that's an all-time low, but it seems like a title that rarely drops.

Does anyone know if you pre-order something before July 1st (the effective date on Texas sales taxes) do they charge sales tax if the item ships after 7/1?

I e-mailed Amazon with that question. The answer is that if it ships after July 1 sales tax will be charged.

Too bad the one with Depardieu wasn't available, in Blu-ray, and at this price.

For those so inclined, I highly recommend the SPAGHETTI WESTERN double feature @$5.99 and the 1951 A CHRISTMAS CAROL @$9.43. Great deals.

Picked up It Might Get Loud... great film. I had it once before, and I traded it in thinking one viewing would be enough... but I still think about it from time to time, so I know I'll watch it again.

Is this the same content as the giant oversized 40th Anniversary Blu-Ray set except it's a normal size case that will fit on a shelf (big advantage) with actual Blu-Ray cases (big advantage) except it's missing the giant book (disadvantage)?

EDIT: I keep forgetting we don't have a Amazon DVD deal thread (though that wouldn't interest me most of the time), so I'll throw it in here for those who may care:

DVD versions of Stargate SG-1 Complete Series for $55 and Atlantis for $40 at Amazon:
http://slickdeals.net/f/4722460-Star...-Free-Shipping

I'll pass simply because I've never seen either show before (not even 1 second of any episode), and while I bet it's probably decent, I'm so swamped with other stuff to watch I'm not ready to spend that much money yet.
