Yeah, just decided to bag it. I'll rent T3 and wait for the next version.

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

Same here all kinds of problems trying to check out. First it tells me that my shipping too address is wrong. Bullshit i have only had about 1000 items shipped to that address from them. I also missed out on the Harry Potter BD. Now I been getting this error.

Oops! We're sorry

That's the error I got when I think it took so long that you got auto-logged out. I also kept getting an error on the shipping page saying to look below but no error was indicated so I just hit continue as normal and that seemed to be fine.

I suggest for the people who's order's don't go through on time to just put it through anyway and then send Amazon an email complaining about the glitches and ask for the discount to be applied. You should get what you expected to.

True, I didn't bother to upgrade my standard DVD for $4.99, but for $3.99 and free shipping via Prime (despite the pain to check out today) I will do it.

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

Has this Black Friday week been the biggest failure for Amazon ever or what? Sure, a few good deals here and there but come on. We have had, in my opinion, lackluster sales overall, and their servers have just been destroyed, that it just doesn't seem all that great to me. I usually buy a ton of stuff from Amazon and so far it has just been two things. I despise Best Buy but so far I have bought way more stuff from them. I just think that's odd.

Lowes was like that about 5am today. One item I had in my cart sold out before I checkout took about 10 min to checkout.

Yep. Amazon didn't do their BF properly this year. They just aren't on top of things. Taking wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too long in their advertisements and don't throw in some really good ones. Best Buy scooped them, Foxconnect, and by the time Amazon comes around...ummm, I just ordered the same titles a few days ago.

P.S. Hey Amazon. Pricematch BestBuy's Ben Hur's Box Set, already!

I think everyone at Amazon is on vacation until Monday.

Uh,nope. Its about on par with last year. I bought 9 items last year and this year i've bought 7. Haven't seen any spectacular in terms of box set prices like Lost last year for $125.

Ben-Hur? How much? I want it. I'm a sucker for two things. Box sets like this and cheap box sets like this.

Took me over 45 minutes to finally to get a order to go through. I had to enter
Transformers: Dark of the Moon BD 3 times in my cart because it would expire each time. Twice I would hit the final place your order button and after what seems like 4-5 minutes kick me to the page asking me to pick a shipping or CC address again. As I said before I missed out on the
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 BD.

Harry Potter 7part 2 bluray still shows up as $17.99 now, no matter how many times I put it in my cart again. Guess I'll contact customer service.

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

Just got a second order in, though it was a chore. One lightning deal plus Social Network. A couple times it was offering me the "no rush" MP3 deal (first time I'd seen it in multiple orders this week) but it kept crashing out. The third time I didn't get that offer but I placed the order anyway. The first time it booted me back to my address selection, but it finally worked. I thought my LD was going to expire and require me to add it back in.

Hoping they fix the problems before I have to make any other orders.

I haven't compared my purchases last year to my purchases this year; they could well turn out to be about the same in number.

What seems to be the difference is, this year amazon looks like they may have loaded many of their deals into the earlier part of the week (prior to today). Since last night, other retailers like Best Buy have been debuting their (sometimes) better prices, and amazon seems to be lagging behind in playing catch up. I still have some points to shop with at amazon, so I'd rather buy things from them than elsewhere, but I may just spend cash at another outlet if they don't increase the pace of good deals.

I don't think this has been a bad sale week at all for them, but I do find it odd that it's 12:30 P.M. on BF and I haven't bought a thing since yesterday afternoon.

Well, first lost shipment of the season. Via Lasership, says left at front door and even though I had 2 another Lasership package and a UPS package that day it wasn't there. Lets see how hard this is to get resolved.

Just strolled in about 45 minutes after the inception deal started. No issues with site speed and continued on my merry way.

So Far,
Social Network $9.99
Inception $4.99

Watching that tv that's coming up, but i'll be surprised if it's a good deal.

I actually just bought one of the laptop lightning deals from them with no problems. Must be some really wacko things going on with their site.

First time I've ever managed to get in on a computer lightning deal. Tried a few times in the past; always got the spinning symbol followed by a freeze-up followed by a waitlist/sold out.
