3D titles or any title that currently isn't available as an enrollment on the site (such as newer releases).

Just buy it from Target or price match at Best Buy. It's $52.99 through Saturday.

Oh nice, I didn't realize Amazon's price was price matching Target. I'll definitely have to swing out there tomorrow and get it. Thanks for the heads up.

I know you're right. Good deals rarely last forever, and I've missed many good things because I put them on my to-do list while taking care of more pressing issues. I still haven't done DVD2BLU since their last update and I know there's at least $35 worth of stuff I want there. I only got 7 U&S BDs at BB because I haven't had time to figure out what else I want. I spent 15 minutes browsing BB's $9.99 BDs and only came up with a few titles. Most of what I buy come from other people's posts. Anyway, doing the DMC enrollment is high on my to-do list, so I hope to get to it by the end of May (because I have 2 weeks of vacation then) and hope it lasts a bit longer.

So, if I call up DMC to try to get some 3D BDs or ones not available on the web page, and they say no do I just say "OK, never mind, I won't enroll then" and try again on another day... or do they keep records which will tell the next rep to deny those titles as well? I know my first step is to cancel my existing account, but IIRC from previous older conversations (perhaps with you) I think you can cancel and then enroll the next day, right?

Sorry to put this in the Amazon thread but we're almost done, and there's really very little happening at Amazon most of the time.

This is an Amazon related question. The Scream trilogy box set is $19.99 and includes 2 bonus documentaries. I already have Part 4 on BD and Part 1-3 on DVD with the previous box Trilogy DVD box set. Is the BD trilogy box set worth an upgrade? I saw one of the documentaries in the set on the Biography channel already. Are there any new extras besides the documentaries. I know the DVD box set has 1 disc full of extras.

The blu-ray of Scream is the only way you can see the movie in anamorphic widescreen, so there's that. Both Scream releases on DVD only have the movie in standard, letterboxed 2.35:1 widescreen. (Though mine automatically zooms when I play it.)

Also, the blu-ray boxed set is the only way to get the two documentaries. You'll still probably want to hang onto your boxed set or at least the bonus disc, though, because I don't think any of the features on it are available anywhere else.

Scream BD set is 17.14 at DD. Was 13.xx during the last 20% sale. I wouldn't pay over 15 bucks for it. With a MSRP of 24.99, its sure to be 10 bucks some day.

Star Trek TNG Season 3 is at $59.99 ( link )

Now I can't decide if I should wait to see if it gets lower, or pull the trigger before it jumps up again... decisions, decisions...

It'll drop to probably $50 or less by Christmas (maybe even $40). Just a matter of waiting and your priorities.

It's annoying that they don't list the prices. A lot of my purchases are new releases and Criterions on sale, and when similar titles are in my GB picks it's pretty easy to see when I'm not interested, like if the new releases are over $20 or the Criterions are over $30.

Amazon is always testing small design changes to the user interface in the hopes of increasing sales. You are part of the test group for that graphic change.

I have very much a soft spot for Abbott and Costello. I just wonder if we'll still get the slipcover. Hrmmmm....

I wonder if this will be discounted even more soon enough. I can't imagine it's such a big seller for Universal, but then again their older stuff seems to be holding prices. At least this one got good transfer reviews whereas BUCK PRIVATES did not.
