Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet WB 2 Disc $12.49 - Amazon
 
This seems like a pretty good price for this title and doesn't seem to be part of any other sales . . .

William Shakespeare's Hamlet (Two-Disc Special Edition) (1996)

Cheapest I've seen . . .

Edit: I guess it's part of Pride Month:

Not sure why exactly.

:D No clue as to why either. It's a good price though.

I've been waiting for this to drop in price to pick it up. Thanks flicker.

I think it's just a two-disc edition sale on select titles. If you go on Amazon then look at two-disc editions, you'll see several for $12.49.

I have to wonder if 20% DeepDiscount sale on these will beat these prices. Time to check...

Also a rather good price I think:

Angels in America for $10.49.

Not bad for an HBO miniseries that I rather enjoyed.

This one's a much more understandable selection for Pride Month.

As discussed in other threads, it's $3 at Big Lots and $6 at Ross.

Cool. The Big Lots around me never get any of these in. I managed to snag Creature Comforts Season 2, but never anything else.

How's this then?:

The Maltese Falcon Three-Disc Special Edition (1941 & 1931 versions / Satan Met a Lady) (1936) for 12.99

As Polizei said, there seems to be a selected SE titles sale, but I can't seem to find the link grouping all of them together.

I'd be surprised if Costco/Best Buy/Circuit City didn't have WB SE's on sale sometime for $9.99 or lower. (Or $5 if BB screws up again.) And it'd be $9 the next time Columbia House has a B1G1 code or under $4.50 as part of a cycled account.

I don't doubt that a sale at 9.99 will occur at some point, as many of these titles have hit that pricepoint several times.

However, there are titles here at $12.49-12.99 that are routinely omitted from these BB/CC $9.99 sales. Titles like Hamlet are somewhat new, so perhaps they will be included next time around, but I've never seen The Treasure of the Sierra Madre included and it's one of the first WB SE released.

In any case, it appears that the titles are collected here:

Work your magic, sir. ;)

That's 1/4 of the entire "Big Sale". I posted the whole mess here.
