Re: Amazon Blu-ray Discounts and Deals Thread #27
Billy Zoom fans may be interested in The Unheard Music at 11.49 via Amazon or just under $11 from Warehouse Deals.
I liked the band so much more when Exene couldn't sing!

(FYI Season One is also 14.99 on Amazon, and Season Two doesn't exist on Blu-Ray, which makes me think you were referring to the DVD versions and means you posted in the wrong forum altogether.)

To anyone who got more than one of the amazon GC codes and hasn't redeemed them yet: these are basically regular GC codes and more than one per order can be used. I stacked two of my three on one account, even though they were ordered on separate accounts.

You might want to consider creating a thread for it, since people interested in Amazon deals wouldn't necessarily interested in a Target deal and people interested in this might not check the Amazon deals thread.

I was very tempted to bite at Ben-hur for $9.99 but I ended up ordering the region-free UK set for $8 more shipped. I really wanted the 3rd disc but not the big box or physical extras.

For fans of the Steven Moffat BBC series SHERLOCK, Amazon.uk has an amazing price right now:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sherlock-Com...dp/B006K1IIHA/
£17.99 is the listed price
THEN subtract VAT (£2.99, US residents don't pay the 16.7% tax that's included in the list price)
THEN add S/H (£3.08, makes the total £18.08)
THEN convert to US Dollars and it comes to approx $28.90 (I'm using £1.00 = $1.60 for the conversion)
Worth noting:
The only caveat is that your Blu Ray player has to be able to play the UK 50i spec in addition to the US 60i spec. Many do, including my Panasonic SC-BT730.
Price-wise, this is a no-brainer. As noted above, this is the same price for BOTH seasons from the UK as for just Season 1 from the US.

Worth noting:
- S1 ALONE on Blu Ray from Amazon.com is virtually the same price ($28.99 at present with free shipping)
- S2 has not even aired in the US yet (coming in May)
- The UK versions are longer (no deleted scenes)
- These are Region Free discs.

Yeah, make sure your player can handle UK's 50i content. I got the Season 2 set from AmazonUK, and it didn't work in either my PS3 or Panasonic DMP-BD75.

A third series is on the way but won't be airing anytime in the immediate future. Moffat's too tied up with Doctor Who. The set linked upthread is for people who want to catch up or rewatch rather than a definitive this-is-all-there-will-ever-be collection.

$35.84. Yet if you use the S1 shipped alone price of $14.26, and the S2 added to order price of $13.49, the total would be $27.75. I think the S2 "added to order" price may be wrong. Seems too low...

Something seems wrong in that calculation somewhere. If S2 is $24.93 shipped alone, and S1 is $10.91 when added to an order, the total would be

The only caveat is that your Blu Ray player has to be able to play the UK 50i spec in addition to the US 60i spec. Many do, including my Panasonic SC-BT730.
Price-wise, this is a no-brainer. As noted above, this is the same price for BOTH seasons from the UK as for just Season 1 from the US.

But they don't all handle it the same. My Oppo converts to 60 Hz and it displays on my TV flawlessly. I bought the UK Sherlock S1+S2 set in February. Highly recommended if your setup can handle it.
