Unfortunately the tax thing KIND OF hurts it. KIND OF. Fucking Texas thing that Amazon had to go through here. *sigh*

They're all on the west side of town, but they're legit. I love em.

You simply receive a random six digit code upon your package's delivery, enter it into the locker data terminal and the locker containing your goods pops open.

The only drawback is there is a size limitation on items eligible to be shipped to a locker.

oooooh. I might have size issues with the shit I get at times. Just checked for a locker here. It is on the other side of DFW. And it's only for employees. I think that's where they have their site.

Decided to give Sinister a blind buy as I've kind of wanted to see it and the price is low enough where I think it's worth checking out. Also picked up This is the End. So far I haven't really had any amazing deals I have to say, a lot of decent stuff but nothing I couldn't live without.

Not taking a chance on dropping by Walmart tonight.

I'm hoping that Amazon will have a deal on Person of Interest season 2 and Nikita season 3 at some point. Hell, they are selling Revolution season 1 as a Lightning deal for $9.96 is less than 1 hour.

I'm actually surprised POI hasn't been on sale yet.

I see Pacific Rim is $7.99 and also a lightning deal in a couple of hours. How much lower could it really go? Is it worth buying now, trying for the lightning deal, and canceling my earlier order?

Frys.com currently has it for the same price.

You could wait, but I've seen some of those lightning deals hit 100% sold in the blink of an eye (or just as quickly as a flash of lightning) and be gone.

It's going for $6 during the Lightning Deal.

So if I snagged it at the LD could I cancel my earlier order easily? Haven't tried that sort of thing before.

You can cancel any Amazon order so long as its not marked as getting ready to ship. I would check now.

You could but you'd be tempting the fates. Knowing the system - if you fail to get it at $6 when the lightning deal hits, it'll go back to full price once it's over.

Got Pacific Rim for $6 and cancelled the one I had originally bought for $7.99. The cancellation went through.

Seeing as it is out of stock you could easily cancel.
I'm at work right now and just happened to check the calendar. Managed to snag Pacific rim. Surprised it was still available 30 minutes in. Also had a $1.99 which was weird since I preordered a book earlier and didn't have it then.

I ran to Game Stop for the midnight opening so I just went with the $7.99 Pacific Rim. Thanks for the tips, though.

Has Amazon already done all of their price matching? It seems like by this time last year, that had a bunch of deals up.

Damn, I was going to add World War Z to my order after a lightning deal and now it's back up to $18.99. The 3D one is still $14.99 though, might just get that one instead then.

Ok, I see what's happening. It's out of stock, so when I searched for it, another listing shows up for $19.99, sold by someone else but fulfilled by Amazon (I didn't notice that at first). Thanks for the heads up and link though. :up:

Eva Green's fans will likely want to see Camelot at some point.

Even though Camelot is pretty cheap, it ends incomplete since the show was cancelled. There wasn't a major cliffhanger, but it certainly wasn't a complete open and shut 1 season story.
