DVD Talk Forum - Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

I had a package in the mail today from Amazon. I was confused, as I couldn't remember any recent order that hadn't already been delivered.
I opened the envelope to find...

...Batman Returns! I had totally forgotten about it. I ordered it back on August 2 when Cardsfan111 posted the price drop, also showing 'Temporarily Out of Stock' for me at the time. So that's a little over 7 months.

Anybody else get theirs recently?

I ordered Blade Runner last summer and I wish it would ship.

I think Blade Runner is out of print in all versions. There should be a re-release when tne sequel comes out.

^It's showing OOS.

*edit* Your link goes to the multi-format version, and shows OOS, but if you click around, you can see it available from third party sellers.

It is still showing available on amazon.ca for CDN$ 7.99.

It's got an audio commentary from Roger Ebert. That alone is worth $19.

I don't know that I'd call it "wrong" just incorrectly applied. Amazon no longer shows MSRP on product and when there's a price reduction they show the previous/regular price as "List Price." They started that a few months back with the theory being if no one knows the true MSRP they'll be more likely to make a purchase. It also makes price comparison far more difficult. Unfortunately, ccc uses what Amazon calls "List" in the product details even though it's incorrect. It really makes price research much more difficult. I certainly do more thorough research before jumping on a "deal" on Amazon these days.

Here's a NY Times article on the change.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

Amazon stopped listing MSRP because their standard discount has gotten increasingly smaller over the years. People know they are overpaying when a movie is only 20% off list price.

Amazon doesn't seem to be applying the discount correctly. That's fine as I know Trolls will drop to $9.99 within the next several months.

Star Wars: The Complete Saga $58.49

For Trolls above, I think you have to buy one of the qualifying movies first, then they send you a coupon then you buy Trolls with the coupon. Not sure though.

Breakfast Club 30th Anniversary Blu with Digital HD is only $6.26 right now at Amazon. It's matching Wally as it turns out but I refuse to shop at Wally...so I'll wait the 2 days :).

According to camelx3 it is the lowest ever, at Amazon anyway.
Also, I noticed Walmart has it for same price so Amazon is matching.

This seemed like a good price so I finally bit on Star Wars.
