The complete series that came out recently is selling for $94 for right now and has a few more extras, but nothing of major significance.

So $40 for all 4 seasons is worth it IMO.

If you are a fan of something like 300 and it's sequel, you will probably like this. Lots of nudity and violence and great characters IMO. You're probably aware the original Spartacus from season 1 passed away a few years ago.

You're basically watching a 39 hour R rated gladiator drama.

44.99 at best buy now

It does but, if I recall, without the bonus features that come with the original's individual release.

Just checked Blu-ray.com to be sure and here's what the reviewer wrote:

"The only difference is the omission of the original release's extensive supplemental section"

Sorry, my mistake. I've made the correction. Damn remakes... ;)

You know why BF sucked for me this year? I own every fucking thing.

Tons of great deals. On stuff I already have. It happens when you collect.

If you see a post by him in this subforum, 95% of the time it will be some kind of complaint about Amazon.

Amazon followed Walmart's market strategy of undercutting brick-and-mortar media retailers for years, then quickly raised prices after killing their competition. Amazon sold media at razor-thin margins for years as a lure to attract new customers. Those days are over, they have moved from being a discount retailer to one that overcharges for convenience and loyalty.

I am still a Prime member, one that has been a member since it was first instituted. I just don't feel the need to sing Kumbaya about each store I shop, and know stores take advantage of consumers that feel any sense of loyalty.

They still have the best customer service on the Internet, if that means anything.

That's pretty much my assessment of this year as well. I *did* pick up a few things but nothing like in years past.

.... turns out they gave me 2 BDs of 12 Years a Slave. Guess I'll give the extra BD to a friend in town.

The Sopranos: The Complete Series is the daily deal at $109.99

It could have been had cheaper if you bought it from Amazon.co.uk during a lightning deal but it is the lowest price it has been for the US site.

I'm tempted by the Sopranos but I think $99.99 is my magic number for this one. I'm sure it'll get there.

Both versions are supposed to be in the 3 disc set.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
 
But as said before... the features for the original are omitted. And those features sounded like they were pretty damn extensive.

I understand that is what Amazon is calling it, but this is the 2006 film version of Once. Pointing it out because there actually was a later Broadway production of the movie without Glen Hansard.

One of my favorite screen romances of all time:

Right, I noticed that too, and it makes no sense to title it that way since the implication would be that it was the stage version (which I'd love to see) rather than the movie.

(Side note: Amazon's CD of the stage musical credits Hansard and Irglova which would make sense if it's a composer credit, but just adds to the confusion.)

Maybe it would make sense if they were trying to distinguish it from "Once: The J-Horror Heist Film" but nothing like that exists to my knowledge, and they don't distinguish other titles that way anyway.

Yesterday the Black Dynamite animated series season one finally cracked below its $30+ wall - down to $20.99. Price still valid as of this post.

A solid purchase for the Cartoon Network Adult Swim crowd, although a definite tone departure from the brilliant live action film which was straight up genre parody.
