FYI, you can sign up for Amazon Mom again, for a free 3-month trial (only if your account has never had free Prime). However, it doesn't appear they will extend it on a month by month basis anymore...

I know the thread title says 7.99, but inside the thread it was confirmed to be 5.99. Still, 7.99 is a decent price.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it was just $5.99 the week before last at Best Buy:

I always wonder what to do when the price drops on something I want like this. Sometimes it drops further shortly thereafter, sometimes goes back up and doesn't drop again for months. Hard to know.

I expect My Bloody Valentine 3D would be better in 3D... if only I had the actual 3D version and not the anaglyph 3D one. I read lots of bad reviews of Drive Angry regarding the movie, but lots of raves for the 3D. I'd buy Drive Angry 3D as a blind buy if I found it cheap enough.

FINALLY got game of thrones in my goldbox. Ordered. I know it's only 10 eps, but I'm counting on a crapload of bonus features to make it worth my while...

I enjoyed Drive Angry for what it was. I read a lot of people raving about the 3D effects, but I'd definitely rank Avatar, My Bloody Valentine and Final Destination 5 over it just in terms of the 3D. Keep your eye out. I bought Drive Angry at Amazon a while back for like $13.99.

I consider the movie virtually unwatchable in 2D, but it is a lot of fun in 3D. Of the 3D titles I've seen, it has some of the best 3D effects. When I get bored with the movie, I'll find myself looking around at the image to admire the depth of the picture.

Seriously?! A $4 price drop the day after release date for Johnny English Reborn? Why the F did I preorder this movie?! That is really annoying.

re: Amazon Blu-ray Discounts and Deals Thread #27
I wonder why you ordered it too.

Not to be completely ignorant, but shy of forgetting that something is getting released, is there any advantage to pre-ordering on Amazon?
#1770
re: Amazon Blu-ray Discounts and Deals Thread #27
The only advantage I can think of is that once in awhile a title drops to an insanely low price usually by accident for a few minutes or so.
The preorder guarantee locks in those super low prices.

Yeah, my wife loves Rowan/Bean. But the timing looks intentional, to drop the price hours (minutes?) after the preorder price guarantee period passes. Stuff like this will cost them, as I will redirect some of my business away to account for it. I've just cancelled a couple bluray preorders. I am going to pick up a costly Nikon lens soon, and there are plenty of camera shops selling the lens at the same price, so Amazon will not get that order. It's only $4, but still...

I had that with Puss in Boots. Pre-Ordered with $5 coupon at 24.99. It shipped then it dropped to 19.99 where I thought it would. Oh well
