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

So I picked up a handful of those $9.99 titles from Amazon, and my copy of THE NICE GUYS is Blu-ray only, no DVD or Digital Copy (even though that's the only version the Amazon website lists). I seem to recall something about Warners doing this after a certain point with their titles (going to single media versions)...however, if I should have gotten the combo pack, I want to send it back - just don't want to go through the trouble if the Blu-ray only version is all that exists at this point.

Any help on this one guys? I couldn't care less about the DVD, but I would have liked the Digital version (but not enough that I'm going to go buy it separately).

Found this unboxing video of The Nice Guys BLURAY/Dvd combo pack from Youtube.

I don't know about that practice but *do* know if I'd ordered the BR/DVD/DC combo pack and received only a BR I'd be doing an exchange.

Yeah, I'm giving it a shot in the hopes I can get a combo pack. I'd be interested to know if anyone else ordered one and got the same single-disc version.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

You can give it a try, and they will likely send you a replacement, but there's no guarantee that you won't just get another BD only package. I've seen it happen before. Warner might have taken the DVD and Digital copy out of the box and not changed the SKU. They've done that before, and Amazon might not have any of the original release left.

Have you tried to google the UPC/ASIN/ISBN number from the barcode and from the one you ordered off of Amazon to see if they match up? If you google the one from the actual product and find results both with and without the DVD/digital copy, then the issue most likely lies with the manufacturer and not amazon, meaning you will most likely just get another Blu-ray only version.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

It seems that the studios did a run of Blu-rays for Black Friday sales that dropped extras like the DVD and digital copy. They didn't change the UPC code this time. I came across several of them at Best Buy for releases that definitively once had the extras.

This stock now seems to have been mixed in with their normal inventory.

Yes, I remember seeing some of these titles at Walmart a couple of years ago during their Black Friday event. I can't remember what the exact titles were, but some of them that were originally BR/DVD combo packs were now only BR. I also think that some of them looked like they were even stripped of disc-based extras, like these were the Netflix or Redbox versions of the movies.

At the time I was thinking it would really suck if these things ended up in the regular distribution chain or Amazon sellers.

This seems to be limited to Walmart, as they get these big pallets of Black Friday titles, just for BF, while Best Buy just seems to sell their regular stock.

This is true. I sent them an email before issuing my return (since they ship out the return IMMEDIATELY) and got a reply "assuring" me they'd send the correct version this time...but that's one department making promises another is probably clueless about. On top of that, I see that a number of recent buyers have had the same issue with their order. Still, I find it hard to believe Warners is out of combo packs, although I do find it easy to believe that Amazon is out of them (still, they should update their product page if that is the case).

This actually seems to be the case - there were no extras listed on the back of the box, either. Alas, I sent it back before I saw the above post about checking the UPC code, but if they send me another, rest assured I'm not paying for a bare bones copy with zero extras (although I guess the disc only had a pair of short featurettes anyway...but still).

I just need to keep this is mind when ordering Warner Bros. titles in the future...this seems to be the only studio that does this.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

Some Sony BDs from Black Friday sales were missing their UV codes. However, Sony is pretty good about sending a UV code though if the package is missing it.

If it's the same UPC, and if you get a new one that you can be sure is the bare bones release without opening it, you could always check your local stores to see if they have the BD+DVD+DC version, buy it and return the bare bones version.

As physical stores have shrunk their inventory, it's going to become increasingly difficult to do.

Depends what you're looking for. I've seen plenty of copies of the Nice Guys at Target recently, but I didn't look closely enough at them to see if they included the DVD/DC.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

Amazon begins charging sales tax for my state on Feb. It's not retroactive to pre-orders is it? Something ordered today, ships in April, is still tax free?
Do they charge sales tax on prime memberships?

Since you are charged when the item ships, you will be taxed on the pre-orders.

I don't know if the seller can charge more on a credit card than the amount you've agreed to at the time of the order.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

Amazon only invoices when it's charged and shipped. It's whenever you get charged for the purchase, that's when a tax is assessed. So don't stock up on pre-orders hoping to dodge the taxes, you'll still pay them.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

For those wondering, Amazon did deliver a correct combo-pack version of "The Nice Guys" to me today. So they must have had at least one lying around.
