I guess Paramount was smart and doesn't have a loophole after all.

But on the positive side you can get free Amazon and iTunes permanent copies for these movies that you have a digital copy code of. At least I'll finally have something permanent that I own in my Amazon instant video library.

How likely is it for Paramount to go much lower than that anytime soon?

Not sure how many more folks joined me in "reporting a lower price" to Best Buy... But thank you Amazon!

Not very likely... They kept the DVD sets at an inflated price for YEARS...

I could have saved you guys some trouble on the Paramount digital copies if I would have seen this conversation earlier. Paramount has offered Amazon copies for months (at least since April). They've always been redeemable for the movie the code came with only. Universal has started this on new releases too, but it's Amazon or UV, not both.

And how! Paramount's greediness on long-issued Star Trek series is the stuff of legend. I wonder how many warehouses full of Star Trek product they still have?

The initial Star Trek Movie Collection is now $39.99. Might get this, but I'm always on the fence about these.

I just ordered this myself, somehow thinking it was Blu-Ray, but it's DVD.
Were you confused as well, considering that you posted here?

No, he's right because they're advertising it as the BD deal of the week.

http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Orig...dp/B001TH16DI/

The DVD set is also cheap, at $33.49. It's possible you followed a bad link or (shudder) were just shipping the wrong product. Did you pay $39.99?

I did order the DVD set yesterday at $33.89. DVD Polizei didn't include a link,
so I don't recall how I got there, but the price was thirty-something, which was
all I remembered for sure. I was just careless, I guess. I've ordered the BD set and
requested cancellation of the DVD order.

I was going to pass since I own 6 of the 9 titles, but it is less than $10/title for the 3 that aren't available separately, so I ordered it and will try to get rid of the 6 I own (5 on BD and Blazing Saddles on HD-DVD).

They must have bought way too much stock on All-Star Superman. Most of their litho exclusives went OOP pretty quickly.

PG-13 part four is a no sale for me. Also, transfers don't sound great.

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

Is there an R-rated or unrated version I'm unaware of or do you not like that a Die Hard movie wasn't rated R?

Edit: Nevermind, I guess it's the former. Huh.

There is an unrated version on dvd. Fox didn't release it on bluray because they're idiots. Still, this set is definitely worth picking up.
