Assume that all of these are available to all customers unless specifically listed as member only like the Welcome Package. Also remember that any preliminary codes are just that and BN could pull it, change the details or exclusions anything prior to release so always a bit of YMMV until the final release date

Mini FAQ
Coupons should not work for PREORDERS , Nook, Legos, Rosetta Stone, Digital, Gift Cards, Memberships, etc. There are glitches where sometimes an excluded item will be allowed but assume that is the exception to the rule
Free Shipping is $25 (before tax/shipping) or with membership.
Max 3 GC on a single online order.
Online only a single code can be applied to an order
Return period is 14 days after delivery (possibly 30 days for members though I've never tried)
Online ordered items can returned to a local store unless it's classified as a web-only item then it's at the store's discretion to accept
The long standing Free 60 day Trial Offer was discontinued in late May 2016

re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

Amazon has The Lookout for $3.99 and The Lookout/The Yards 2-pack for $8.93. Any comments on these two blurays?

I think they're both in the wrong aspect ratio.

I am pretty sure The Lookout has the correct AR and looks quite good, but The Yards is definitely cropped on the individual release.

Don't know if there any changes on the double-feature release.

edit: I guess the Lookout got 2 individual releases and the second one was cropped. The bad one is selling for $3.99.

No, The Lookout is definitely the wrong aspect ratio, it was originally 2.40 on the original Disney/Miramax release.

I'm not sure if you're serious. If so, he meant that the price drop didn't last long. Within a few hours of it being posted here, the price jumped back to $14.99.

re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

Wow, I lucked out. I just bought Manhattan [Blu-ray] (1979) for $10.49 a little while ago. Immediately after submitting the order, I did a quick search for other Woody Allen movies and, in the search results, "Manhattan" was listed as costing $16.99. I double-checked and, yep, the price apparently had jumped up to $16.99 within less than a minute of me submitting my order. Talk about barely getting in under the wire!

Actually...The Lookout on the 2nd released was opened up. It looks so fucking weird. I've yet to see the film but from the shots I've seen it doesn't seem like it was intended to have that expanded ratio. Just useless space.

It's still the same price. The $10.49 price is listed under More Buying Choices.

Has anyone else been in the same situation with existing preorders from before Amazon started charging sales tax in your state, and if so did you get charged sales tax when your preorder shipped after sales tax went into effect?

I had assumed my preorders would remain at the original prices without sales tax and only future orders would be affected.
Amazon never charges until the item has shipped. Whether you preordered it 12/31 or 3 years ago, they have to follow the tax law at the time your credit card is charged and the item is shipped.

Gotcha. I took it to mean that he thought it was quick that the price dropped to 14.99, since I hadn't seen the earlier post where it was listed at 7.88. The wording of his post was kinda vague.

re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

Is the transfer quality or special features of the "The Prophecy / The Prophecy II: God's Army" BD set for $5 any different than The Prophecy Collection 1-5 which comes on 2 BDs?

I got the Prophecy Collection for $7.99 (not yet opened) and was wondering if there would be any reason to return it to get the 2 disc set for $5 in terms of better picture or audio quality or special features on the first 2 movies. There are some user reviews for the Prophecy Collection but none for the pack with only the first 2 movies.

I haven't seen any specific reviews for that set, but I doubt Echo Bridge has found a better master for The Prophecy. I believe I remember reports indicating they simply took their existing solo-disc for The Prophecy and included it with the sequel.

The 4 movie set is on 2 discs. Parts 1 and 3 are on disc 1. Parts 4 and 5 are on disc 2.

They later came out with all 5 movies in one set. All they did was take the 2-disc set and added a 3rd disc with part 2.

I thought I read (on the Amazon user reviews) that the Prophecy collection parts 1,3,4,5 are on 1 BD-50 and part 2 is on 1 BD-25. Regardless, you and PhantomStranger seem certain they are the exact same transfers/content/video/audio quality between the various sets... just rearranged differently on disc. In that case, I guess I'll stick with the 1-5 collection for $3 more than the parts 1 & 2 pack (even though I haven't seen any of them yet). Thanks.
