For 3D fans, they seem to have a lot of 3D titles dropped to the $20-21 range. Just off the bat, I see Legend of the Guardians ($20.49), The Polar Express ($20.99), and the IMAX films Deep Sea ($20.49), Hubble ($21.99), and Space Station ($19.99).

Seen the box set (I'm a sucker for box sets, dame them!) I did not see the 3D ones.

Amazon did have the I am Legend Ultimate Collector's Edition for $14 and some change last night. Went back up though to $22. Something to keep track of.

That's my price point - and I can see we're not alone. I'll bet people bought these at the higher prices as gifts, but most of us are waiting for a more reasonable price.

I mean, who would walk into a store and pay $140 for these movies? Sure it's on sale online, but most B&Ms have them full price between sales. I only wish more people would wait for price drops before purchasing - we consumers need to send a message to the studios with our wallets.

If hit hits $69.99 (or close to it), I'd jump. Had I not received it for Christmas, I would have been all over that $70.49 price on amazon.

You can get it for a decent price from them now. It's currently 82.72 and there's a 20% off coupon available for members, a 15% off for non-members. You can save even more now by taking advantage of their ongoing B2G1 free sale on movies and CDs. Not everything is included but the Star Wars BD set is. And the coupon stacks with the sale.

When I read "packaging" I was going to say AH HA! Because I was so irritated by their cardboard slip-in disc holders (that cause the disc to scrape when removing and storing the blu-rays) that I was sure it was the problem. Then I read Soylent Green... :/

Farscape: The Complete Series [Blu-ray] (2011) is $70 deal of the day so far. Does anyone remember if they ended this show or do you need to buy the ending movie? I know they made a movie or two after the show (SciFi is good for that).

I don't have time to put together a list today but there are dozens of new lows. As always, there are useful links in the first post of this thread.

I find that interesting, since the recent DVD Complete Series DID include Peacekeeper Wars (in the Best Buy Exclusive only)

not a bargain but I submitted to amazon that they have a bluray image on a dvd title and got a response that they won't fix it.... I came across the title searching for the bluray version on a price search website so I almost accidentally bought it too.
