If we're still talking about the Jack Ryan set, this appears to be just a set of the previously released single discs, -I don't think there's been a "re-master".

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

Da Vinci's Demons Season 2 is $14.99. This has been in my cart for quite a while. So when I saw the price drop, I quickly purchased the set.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

Oklahoma, The King and I, and South Pacific are $7.99 each. All currently showing as out of stock but you can order.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ilpage_o03_s00

For King and I and South Pacific you have to look at additional blu ray options and new from. They are from Amazon and not a third party but apparently Amazon shows you the listing of where it is in stock as default. Though the listing for Oklahoma does not do this so who knows why they make it a little more difficult to see the $7.99 price for the King and Pacific.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

^That's due to the way Amazon now *always* shows the "least expensive" *in stock* with Prime shipping option as the default price. Oklahoma has no "Fulfilled by Amazon" (Prime shipping) offers making the Amazon one the default. The other titles *do* have a Prime offering so that gets put on the front page.

FWIW I think it's somewhat disingenuous of Amazon to do this and causes people to purchase from a different vendor at a higher price because they see that "Prime Shipping" bit and think it's the best price. They now do the same crap in the "Saved" section of the cart. If you have a MP item without Prime in the Saved section and it goes OOS they automatically substitute it with the "lowest price w/Prime" offer. With many of the DVD/BR titles, especially OOP or "scarce" ones, this can be something significantly more expensive than a MP offer without Prime shipping even for new product. I've complained but they don't care. I'm sure there are many ill informed purchases made because of this deceptive practice.

What is the advantage of getting these individual releases.

I don't necessarily want to be that restrictive but I absolutely do *not* want a non-Amazon offer to be up front on a product page even if it's less expensive than Amazon's price. I'm smart enough to look at the "other offers" link should I want to order from a MP vendor or wish to check for a lower price. There are many things I'd like for Amazon to provide personalized settings for. I actually now shop there a bit less due to changes in the cart and the Gold Box areas. I've not checked the Gold Box/Lightning Deals in over a week due to the "updated" format. It simply sucks for way I like to shop plus is one of those crappy designs that reloads *every* time a box is checked/unchecked.

In my case it's because they are:
Less expensive
Filling in gaps (own a couple already and are happy with the transfers)
Packaging (plus many of these have BR/DVD/Digital)

Yeah, good points. I have the Sound Of Music Ultimate Edition and a few other UCEs, but might go ahead and get a few of these.

Thanks for the heads up on this. I've been waiting for a good price drop on this one for a while now.

Some folks just don;t like boxsets and prefer individual cases. Most reviews have not been very kind to The King and I.

The individual SOM was originally a 2 disc set like South Pacific. Both SP discs are included, but only 1 of the SOM discs.

I also don't think the Boxset had Digital copies and for some folks that's all that matters anymore.
Rip open the Cracker Jacks, take out the press on tattoo stickers, and throw away the CJ.
Doesn't the individual Oklahoma! have both the Todd-AO and Cinemascope versions in blu plus the DVD while the boxset just had the superior Todd-AO single disk?

When the 2 disc DVD of Oklahoma! was released many years ago and people complained the Todd-AO version of the film looked worse than it did on VHS, Fox said that the elements had deteriorated since the VHS release and this was good as it was ever going to look. Technology improved and we got a terrific blu ray. There is always hope that the King and I will get a superior new release. They might label it mastered in 4K or something.

Thanks for the explanation. I will be more cautious when ordering anything now.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

There doesn't seem to be much in the way of horror titles on sale. A couple things but a lot of it is just stuff that's on sale fairly regularly. I'd have expected more for Halloween.

I think most horror media sales end well before Halloween. It's too late for most customers to get their movie by Halloween at this point.
