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.

OK, to cover myself it usually Most Every Bluray. I guess there are always a few exceptions, but now you have me doubting myself
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.

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.

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.

Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
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.

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:

Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
I thought I owned Ripper Street but then realized it was Copper. 
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.

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).

I have it in my cart right now but can't decide if I want to pull the trigger or not($23.08 shipped). Doesn't seem like much was added other than some bonus features.

Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
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...

Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
I am going under the premise that the Cyber Monday deals are a work in progress. Pretty much all DVD except for teh Bond's that surely most people already have that want them and the Sherlock Holmes repeat from last year (admittedly a very good item), but nothing after noon?

Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
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.

I discovered how great this show is about three weeks ago when looking for something new to watch on Hulu+, and then promptly powered through 40 episodes. I'm currently halfway through season three. Great show, and a good price on those sets.

Re: Amazon Countdown to BF Week - Lightning Deals Calendar
Great show, and it has rewatch value for me. The annoying thing is that I know I own the first season and maybe one of the others, and you're right that this hasn't gone on sale a lot. Some seasons are on Prime, though.
