Felt obligated to buy Blood Work for that price. Am considering Legend as well...

I'll generally upgrade Clint Eastwood films from DVD to BD for $5 or less, but being a sub-Prime (i.e. non-Prime) Amazon member and wanting to save my other family account's Prime trial for next BF (as they have to be 13 or 18 months apart), there's no way I can find $20.01 of other stuff I want at any given moment to buy it. So I make a note of it and figure it'll be $5 or less again someday. If I had Prime, I'd definitely get it though. (And for others who suggest I pay $79 for Prime, I don't buy enough from Amazon to justify it. I've done the calculations. I'd be better off paying the shipping on each, but as a deal hunter I'm too cheap to pay shipping.)

And thanks, Lizard, as always for posting the deals when this web site seems to have less and less traffic. I don't recall seeing any similar thread on Blu-ray.com, though I think they have a web page which lists the latest Amazon price drops, but it includes a lot of junk I don't have time to go through.

If the math doesn't work, the math doesn't work. But if Prime Instant Video might be something that you would use, you might consider that in the analysis as titles have really blossomed. Another option is to split the cost of Prime with a sibling etc.

Another approach is to simply buy stock items through Amazon for the 20.01 balance. There are many grocery items etc. that are eligible for prime shipping and if the price is right - can be used to leverage spot purchases by adding items you know you need anyway.

Will Target pricematch Amazon on items under $25 without trying to charge you shipping like you'd normally pay with a <= $25 purchase at Amazon?

If Target will match without adding in shipping, then Target could be a good alternative for those individual titles I see on sale at Amazon (such as Blood Work). The problems I see are: (1) Target's BD inventory is pretty microscopic and I doubt Target will carry much of what I'd like to match at Amazon and (2) Amazon's prices are so hyper-volatile that by the time I leave my house and reach a Target store the price could've easily shot up some ridiculous amount.

Shipping prices were not even mentioned on the 2 price matches I did in December, so I would say most likely not.

Awesome price for Fort Apache but now I'm measuring awesomeness vs physical clutter and not being tempted so much :(

Best Buy had that price on FORT APACHE a couple of weeks ago. Once more Amazon plays catch up.

+1. When I was PMing last November/December, one CS rep even commented that she did not know what Prime is and did not care before PMing.

I bought it from BB back then and they sent me Repo!: The Genetic Opera and instead of replacing it with the correct disc, they issued me a refund. So, I saved some money and used an Amazon GC to buy it there.

If you're referring to Repo!, I had to send it back to get the refund. But, it didn't really look like my type of movie.

Your Highness isn't awesome by any means, but for that price, I think it's worth it just for the extras (and Natalie in a thong). Ordered! Thanks, Lizard!
