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

Tried to a little regular shopping at Amazon today (both U.S. and Canada). I could search stuff, but kept hitting a "something went wrong at our end" error page whenever I tried to log in or view my cart. For hours! Heard on the radio news that it's because of Prime Day, of course, which I'd forgotten all about since I don't have it or need it. Must be getting hammered this year, or perhaps just blocking us unwashed commoners for the time being. Guess I'll have to wait a while to do any normal shopping. :lol:

Thanks to Prime Day, my amazon cart got wiped out, again. So all the crap I had in it to monitor pricing is gone. FFS. It happened before, for no reason. Now it seemed to happen due to all the Prime traffic.

Harry Potter Complete 4K for $80 -- that by itself mya be the single best deal ever for Amazon Prime though it's still at best only matching the BN Xmas deal.

The Monster Boxsets for $15 were pretty nice as well though barely beating some of the prior deals.
The international Prime sales appear to be nonexistent this year for media unless they're hiding and i can't see them.

Were there more Uni Monster sets I missed after Wolfman & Frankenstein?

OK that's weird about your cart. Do you leave stuff in your cart, or do you put it in 'save for later'? I have a bunch of stuff in 'save for later' and it's still there.

Agreed. But as it gets bigger (which it will) this thing will take a life of its own.

There are a selection of Criterions in the 20% off section. Most are 22.97 before the discount (a few are 17.97 before the discount) so they should be a little less than the B&N sale. There are also some Shout and Scream factory movies.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

Lots of DVD cartoons/tv sets there. I saw Complete Beetlejuice and Little Rascals, etc., sets that you can add that 20% discount to.

And if you want to watch it all to catch up before season 8, just subscribe to HBO for a month. :)

I love GoT but I really regret getting these as they were coming out.

$75 is amazing for all 7 seasons with digital codes. fuck. wish i could've waited. $10 and change for 7 Seasons with all that content and digital codes is amazeballs!

You're welcome (noticed there was no link, thought there was). There might be a few more, but the search feature on Amazon was coming up dog pictures.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

Maybe I'm wrong, but a few titles that I have saved in my cart are suddenly eligible for the 20% savings, when they weren't last night.

Interesting. I'll have to look myself.

Nope, you're most certainly NOT wrong - a ton of new titles added to the promotion. Many new Criterion and Shout titles as well have been added - some under $15 after discount ('Summer Interlude', 'Jubal', 'Gates of Hell' for e.g). Some collections which are already 50% off PMed to the B&N sale, have the additional 20% off making it unbeatable deals. Thanks (but no thanks) for the notification, DWilson, the wallet's not forgiving you :-)

EDIT: Got 'The Marseille Trilogy' and the Jacques Demy set for $86.13 + SoCal sales tax

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

Wow, yeah, there's >3500 titles now eligible - I think there were >1800 last time I checked. Maybe around 2k.
SIGH - now to go back through the list (nothing that was in my cart was included.)
Nice alert!

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

The Back to the Future Trilogy for $16.99 sold out very quickly.

And it is back and only about 46% sold. Must have been a glitch.

Same thing happened this morning on the ET Anniversary Giftset. I think, periodically, all those that add it to their cart but don't check out within the timed 15 mins to avail the same price, end up forfeiting the sale and the quantity gets released

I picked up a handful of titles in the 20% off bin. Some pretty good deals to be had there, especially on Criterions!

With M:I6 opening next week:

Mission: Impossible 5-Movie Collection

$19.99

One caution: for those who care (I don't), user reviews suggest that this collection does not include digital copies.

Easily the best price I've seen for it. The only negative about the set is the lack of digital codes.

As long as these can be VUSU D2D for $2 each, then another $60 and you've got UV &/or MA of all 30 as well.
