So the Fringe blu ray is $2 less than when it was the Deal of the day on November 7th.

Is that correct?

Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar

I'm sure I copied the price of that set down correctly before. Now it says $72.59, so maybe they dropped it down a bit more.

Looking at last years sale -- "In Stores & Online
From now until December 24, you can save 40% off thousands of in-stock Blu-rays"

It may well not include DVDs. I buy so few DVDs anymore I don;t always register that part or the clerk I was talking to may have said All Movies and I misinterpreted. I'll edit my other post and leave it at 40% Bluray Sale.

Also last pre-Christmas week there were a number of 25/30% coupons available to sweeten the deals.

Sounds good. Thanks for the heads-up!

Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar

I bought the first four seasons of Fringe for ~$20 each IIRC from WBshop and have been looking for a deal on S5 and now I could buy the whole shebang for $72.59. Unfortunately, I don't want to gamble on not being able to recoup on the existing sets. Bother.

^ I picked up S5 at B&N yesterday. It is part of their BF sale in-store for 50% off, plus used the 30% off coupon and member discount. Came to $15.75.

Not B&N member and it's a day late. Oh well. It may get cheap sometime.

Their BF prices go til tomorrow. Even without member discount would be $17.50 with 30% coupon, or $15 with 40%. Not a super bargain by any means, but still the cheapest price I've seen.

Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar

The problem is that S5 was only 13 episodes, so paying the same as I did for full run seasons bugs me. No biggie. Thanks for the tips.

Heh, a bunch of people had second thoughts on Chuck. It sold out in a minute or two and then dropped to something like 63% claimed after their buy window expired.

[edit]It looks like they're replacing the Black Friday calendar with a Cyber Monday Deals Week calendar.

I haven't seen the Fringe DVDs, but the blu-rays look great.

The blu-rays have a few more special features than the DVDs, though some of them are only available through BD-Live, which sucks.

Amazon UK has the Universal Monsters set for 16.99 pounds on a lightning deal for one more hour:

I thought I owned Ripper Street but then realized it was Copper. :lol: I'm tempted but am backlogged on TV. On the other hand, I've always been intrigued by Call the Midwife for whatever the heck reason so will consider that. Hmm, that's strange: their calendar doesn't have season 1 on BD. :(

And I went to bed at 12:30 having forgotten about the Fringe Deal, with me missing season 5 and having season 3 on DVD. :doh:

Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar

Hobbit Extended 3D was a lightning deal on Amazon UK right now for 10.49 pounds, but it quickly sold out as I was typing this. Surprised no US deals anywhere. The best I've seen:
B&N has it for $25.54 after 40% off coupon (online at m.barnesnoble.com using BFRIDAY40).

Highly recommended, though I didn't pay them much more than that a month or so ago. Dracula especially is a stunning restoration including the original audio has FINALLY been cleaned up.

Did you get it? I passed on the lightning deal and bought it from B&N even though it cost slightly more. I had a gift card, plus will be able to watch it before Part 2 comes out. From the UK, it likely would not arrive in time...

The thing I hate about UK lightning deals is you do not get VAT deducted. It makes no sense to me, but that's how they do it. Because you immediately lose that 20% savings, it isn't as much of a deal...

It's a complete list now; initially they weren't showing up on the deals calender, & the 8:20pm PST times did not show up on the LD page.

Not for Amazon...all their best deals actually come before or on Black Friday. However, this was a pretty sad year for those looking to add to their library - just a lot of the same stuff we've seen year in/year out on sale and only a few 'newbie' bargains to be had.

Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar

Just bought The Good Wife season 3 for $14.79 on the Lightning deal. However, it's listed as out of stock.

Have been waiting eons for it to drop below $20. One of my favorite shows on TV right now.

Now I need season 4 to drop in price.

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 11:04 PM.
