Hobbit: DoS in just a tic...

I watched that while waiting for the Marigold Hotel. It went from 1% to 100% in a blink.

Hobbit went even quicker. I clicked add to cart, it loaded up 100% Claimed Wishlist Full. The clear message is that Black Friday is only for hair triggered Prime members. :shrug:

Thank you! I've got a Target nearby and it looks like the disc will be waiting for me tomorrow. A BF tradition comes to an end, the complete MM series for $8 to $10 per season. It took several years (3 or 4?, or was it 5 or 6?), but it's done. Now, like a true collector, I can remove the shrink wrap from them all and watch the series!

IMO, there is so little true competition left, that we're not going to see the prices of days gone by; unless downloading gets so rampant that Amazon & the labels feel severe price cutting is nessecary to sell anything.

That's how Capitalism works: when there's competition, we see a different correlation between supply, demand & pricing than we do when there are basically a few monopolies. This has been proven time after time in numerous types of businesses.

I am in the online music (& until recently movie) business. One very odd thing I'm seeing is that wholesalers even other then Super D (i.e. the Deep Discount family) are charging more at wholesale than some sellers are at retail. I don't have a clue WHO they're selling to at these prices. I (& others in the business) have known for years this was Super D's plan to eliminate the competition; but the other wholesalers I'm thinking of don't have retail outlets.

It's a period love story/adventure with some sci-fi elements. I think it's a terrific show and the lead is beautiful, but it's not for everyone.

The 1st season is 16 episodes and the DVD/BDs was broken into 2 sets.

Season 2 will air next summer.

Justice League: Gods and Monsters being a Bruce Timm original idea and movie. It's a well-done Elseworlds tale.

Look at it this way. In a few years, there probably won't be any media wholesalers left in the United States.:(

Forgot to set myself a reminder for Mad Max or Outlander. :doh:

I might try to drop into a store to check Max this weekend. I might get Outlander digitally or just wait for streaming. White Queen hit Prime right after I bought it, though I don't think DaVinci's Demons or Black Sails have gotten there yet.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
 
Black Sails is probably worth a blind buy since even if you dislike the show itself, the Blu-ray has incredible A/V quality. Like literally the best-looking live-action video on the format. I definitely wouldn't recommend Da Vinci's Demons as a blind buy.

MAD MAX is still available on Best Buy's site for $7.99, free shipping.

Black Sails is pretty good. I would describe at as Deadwood with pirates, so if that description sounds appealing, it's worth checking out.

^Me, too. I'm grabbing that.

Black Sails is very underrated. The show actually gets better in season 2.

Unfortunately it gets virtually no attention in the TV Talk forum when they air week to week.

If you don't have Starz and have never seen it, It's very much worth a blind buy if you're a fan of the genre.

Deal of the day is 24.99 for the Jurassic Park collection, including all four movies and extra 3D copies of Park and World. Packaging is crappy, and it's basically the same price as the Blus individually from Best Buy if you're lucky enough to pick them up, but the added 3D is significant.

Also stuff like Gotham s.1, Arrow s. 3 and Flash s.1 are 19.99. I'm not even sure who they're matching.
