Nice deals. Ordered An Affair to Remember, All About Eve, and The Comancheros. Might be worthy of a cross-post in the amazon deals thread.

Re: Amazon DOTD 4/19 Digibooks $9.99!
 

Thanks for the heads-up Eddie.

Unfortunately, I'll have to pass. The 3 titles I'd normally be interested in all have lousy transfers... Butch Cassidy, Patton, and The Usual Suspects. :(

Re: Amazon DOTD 4/19 Digibooks $9.99!
 

Awesome deal...I got them all but Rocky (which I already have on Blu-ray, and it's the one that includes bonus features - the digi-book version is sans-features, sadly).

Ironically, the already-on-sale Tom Cruise Collection popped into my deal list today, so I'm also getting it for $23.75!

Re: Amazon DOTD 4/19 Digibooks $9.99!
 

Sweet! Now if only they stay in stock until I get home to verify which ones I'm lacking.

Re: Amazon DOTD 4/19 Digibooks $9.99!
 

If the transfers were more highly regarded, I would have gotten Butch Cassidy for sure and probably Patton too.

Re: Amazon DOTD 4/19 Digibooks $9.99!
 

Wasn't there talk that Patton was going to be reissued with an improved transfer?

Re: Amazon DOTD 4/19 Digibooks $9.99!
 

I remember reading that too. It was a while back; I thought it was said they created a new master for it.

Since then, I've heard no news of a re-release.

Re: Amazon DOTD 4/19 Digibooks $9.99!
 

I remember that from quite a while back as well, but I don't remember seeing any mention for a while. I wish Butch Cassidy would be reissued as well. Even so, I'm still tempted to pick it up.

Edit to add: Too slow! Superdaddy beat me to it! :)

Re: Amazon DOTD 4/19 Digibooks $9.99!
 

Tempting prices on the digibooks, but I already have Terminator, Patton, Rocky and Usual Suspects on BD in non-digibook form. Too bad the deals on the digibooks come so late as to be a moot point. Butch Cassidy, Tora Tora Tora, Affair to Remember, and Comancheros I already have on DVD. I'd like to have them on BD, but not at $9.99 each. Butch Cassidy is worth a $9.99 BD upgrade, but the stories about its bad transfer negate that. I wasn't that fond of the other 2 movies, so I'll wait for them to get cheaper.

I opened my Patton (not digibook) BD before I knew about the transfer issues. I should probably pop it in to see if it's as awful as so many people said. I remember watching the old Gladiator BD before I knew about its "problems". I thought the transfer was perfectly fine, and then sometime later read about the disc exchange program for the defective disc which I didn't notice was defective (so I didn't do the exchange). I was obviously blind or too involved in the movie to notice whatever the problem was.

It'll be interesting to see if all the Supernatural BD seasons stay $18.99 next week. If they do combined with the DVD trade-ins they'd be $13.99 + tax which is cheaper than the $16.88 + tax (net price after factoring in coupon and shipping) I just paid at my un-favorite place WBShop. Fortunately it's only a difference of $12. Too bad I don't have a crystal ball that works. Here I thought under $17 was a good deal for a BD season of a show that I'm actually watching (opposed to sitting on my shelf collecting dust as most do).

For those on the fence about BUTCH & SUNDANCE, Robert Harris is a fan of the Blu-ray and offers a different take than most other reviewers.

Re: Amazon DOTD 4/19 Digibooks $9.99!
 

Thanks for the link. It was interesting to read Harris' thoughts on the disc.

Re: Amazon DOTD 4/19 Digibooks $9.99!
 

Yes, for $10, and with Harris' endorsement, it's an easier purchase.

Re: Amazon DOTD 4/19 Digibooks $9.99!
 

Tempted to pick up The Terminator but I think I'll hold out for a better release. Nothing else really grabs me as a must have.

Re: Amazon DOTD 4/19 Digibooks $9.99!
 

End up Picked 4 movies today ;)

Terminator
An Affair to Remember
All About Eve
The Usual Suspects


I bought these from the last sale! :)

Tora! Tora! Tora!
The Hustler
The Comancheros
Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid

Re: Amazon DOTD 4/19 Digibooks $9.99!
 

I was about to hop on the Tom Cruise set (which I'm sure he'd love!), but the lack of the 2nd extras disc for Minority Report is bumming me out.

Re: Amazon DOTD 4/19 Digibooks $9.99!
 

:lol:


Picked up Usual Suspects. Not the best xfer, and I already have it on Blu, but for $10, what the hell. I wish Master & Commander had been included, as I would have done the same there.

Re: Amazon DOTD 4/19 Digibooks $9.99!
 

Hustler and Commancheros for me.

Re: Amazon DOTD 4/19 Digibooks $9.99!
 

Don't forget, Harris also endorsed the pastel reworking of FRENCH CONNECTION. :lol: And he decried THE LONGEST DAY for DNR, but that one looks fine to me.

I went for THE HUSTLER which is a safe bet with or without Harris. ;)

Re: Amazon DOTD 4/19 Digibooks $9.99!
 

Great Prices. Picked up All About Eve and An Affair to Remember.

Re: Amazon DOTD 4/19 Digibooks $9.99!
 

I decided not to update any I already have on DVD (Terminator, Butch & Sundance, Usual Suspects, Patton), but did end up getting All About Eve, The Hustler and Tora! Tora! Tora!.

Re: Amazon DOTD 4/19 Digibooks $9.99!
 

ended up with a used copy of the Comancheros from Amazon's warehouse deals for $8.26 :-)...works for me.

Re: Amazon DOTD 4/19 Digibooks $9.99!
 

Well, what do you know...so he did. :) But, seriously, it should be obvious that the man knows of what he speaks and, even including a case like this one where I can't really agree, his recommendation, or lack thereof, is usually a good barometer as to whether to buy a disc or not.

Reading over his piece on the original FC release, his reasoning is well-considered and expressed, and he does address the main issue with that first release...the fact that it did not also include a disc with the film with its original color scheme intact. That omission was a deal-breaker for me and many other fans. It was a problem that was, of course, happily, finally corrected when Fox re-released the film with its original 1971 cinematography on Blu-ray earlier this year.

Re: Amazon DOTD 4/19 Digibooks $9.99!
 

Harris has certainly taken some odd stances. I won't say I agree with him on everything, but for $10, I decided to take a chance. I ended up ordering:

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
The Hustler
An Affair to Remember
All About Eve
Tora, Tora, Tora

I had some credit and some points, so it didn't cost me much at all. A couple of those I've been meaning to pick up for a while and almost did a couple of times at higher prices. I guess I'm happy I waited. I was tempted to pick up The Comancheros, especially since I've been on a bit of a Western kick lately, but decided to hold off.

Re: Amazon DOTD 4/19 Digibooks $9.99!
 

Since it's no longer 4/19, the deal is dead.
