Agreed. I was dreading the thought of having to beat the crowds at Target and CC for the iPod and DS. Haven't bought from Amazon for awhile, but it will be my first stop from now on.

10 bond blu rays. selling 4 on ebay. hopefully come out to about $30 for 6 bond blu rays. best and only good deal i have found all day.
Looks like we did the same thing. All six Bonds for me, doubles of the three Connerys and Live and Let Die. I'm figuring I can trade the doubles for other BDs I want, or sell them and come out paying $30ish for my six. Good deal either way.

So, their standard Blu Ray sale lasts till December 2nd. Any chance they will be adding new blu ray titles every day up till December 2nd? They had new deals every day leading up to today... so I'm just wondering if they'll still be doing that till Dec 2nd.

brizz has a cool dad.

Also, I wouldnt' be surprised if Amazon does another round like this, only with a new set of titles over the weekend. If they do, I'm fucked. Crackers and cheese for a week, I suppose.

Ordered the 6 Bond blu rays even though I own all of them on dvd. Too good of a deal to pass up!

On my tightened budget I was able to pickup this from amazon:

Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 6
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season's 1 & 2
Iron Man Blu-ray (woke up at 5:00am for this motha)
Canon printer (needed this big time)
Belkin gel pad wrist thingy (worth a try)

Finished up Black Friday by watching Pan's Labyrinth on Blu-ray.

If you go through the 20 or so pages of the Blu-Ray deals, you will notice that they added a few 39.99 box sets over the last 24hrs. They were not there when I went through them all last night. It's also possible they might flip new titles in if others go out of stock.

I'm pissed at myself for not picking up Kung Fu Panda right away. O well, it will eventually be even less I suppose.

The beef I have with Amazon is this 2:00am pacific time zone sale.
I'm central time and even at 4:10am not all the dvds hit the sale price.
At 4:10am only the HULK was $8.99. It took a while for the sale price to go into effect.

didn't buy much this year, as i've already bought for everyone in the family so today was the selfish black friday for myself.

amazon:
entourage s.2,3.1,3.2 - 29.97
halloween (3-disc unrated coll.ed) - 12.99
fortress - 7.49
total spent = 50.45

bb & cc:
borat - 2.99
ghostbusters 1&2 gift set - 6.99
entourage s.1 - 9.99
total spent (after $10 bb reward gc) = 10 and some change

gamestop:
little big planet (used) - 54.99
bioshock (used) - 54.99
mortal kombat vs dc universe (used) - 54.99
...after their 2get1free deal, my $54 credit, and discounts w/the edge card
total came to = 48.23
(and i've got a week to return the mk v dc for another game or get my money back...which i'm waiting for a used tomb raider)

total altogether = $110

...not bad for 4 tv seasons, 5 movies, and 3 newly released ps3 games

All Bond BDs are now $17.49! They changed the price as I was sitting on the final checkout screen pondering if I really wanted to start down the path of upgrading the whole collection. I was just going to get the 3 Connery films, but it is now only ~$10 extra for the other three.

Btw, when do the free QoS tickets expire?

I may jump on this even though I have all the steelbooks already. $59 will give me 6 Bonds to gift, 6 $10.50 movie tickets, and 4 Blu-rays for myself.

Added Terminator and Terminator 2 to another order including Sky Captain and Predator. Total before shipping is just under $50! So the average for each film is about $12.50! Sweet deal. It won't ship for another 10-12 days since Sky Captain and Predator sold out earlier... but that's ok.

Yep, looks like they lowered Dr No and Thunderball 50 cents each, and For Your Eyes Only down $6.50, so you could possibly save $7.50 more! And of course, they made this change right after they moved my order to "shipping soon" status, so I have to pay the extra and can't reorder now to save it.....
Oh well, $47.44 for the six is good, but 39.94 is INSANE and everyone should jump on it!

PS: Looks like Amazon has reduced the price of almost ALL of the 33 titles in the special offer to $19.99 or less! Titles like "What Happens In Vegas" were still $24.99 yesterday, etc....
Damn, put the 12.99 "Windtalkers" in your cart, along with three of the 16.99 titles, and then add it with the six Bonds and their stackable savings, and you end up with 10 BDs for 53.90!

heh...Wish I could get in on the Bond deal... I could cancel that other order and do this, but I honestly want those more.

Great deal, and hopefully more people take advantage of it... unlike me. lol

We think so, but YMMV.

Hoily moly, this was my exact revised order after I cancelled my original order with just the 6 Bond BDs. I struggled with the inclusion of Daredevel, but it was either that or Juno, and it'd had been awhile since I'd seen Daredevil, so I went with it (plus it was $2.50 cheaper).
