On the Die Another Day disc, does anyone know if it's the correct second disc with all the features missing from the UE set? I'm sure MGM/Fox had the time to correct that mistake.

After the hassle of getting the John Addams set for $14.99 I am not sure I want to deal with Target and their temporary price cuts.

Weak deals. I picked up Road Warrior blu ray last night for $14.99. Then I got home and discovered that I could buy it brand new on Amazon for 7 bucks. Ugh. Sad to see blu-rays becoming worthless too.

No its not. I'd much rather pay $7 for a BR movie than $20-30.

I was just going to post the same thing. I'm stopped paying $25-$35 for movies. $15 is my cap. Bring on the sub $10 Blu-ray movies!

I rather pay less too, but I don't like to see my blu-rays decline in value so rapidly. I have several dvds that are completely worthless now. The Recruit is one example.

You buy Blu-rays for their collection value? I guess I could see that for wanting to trade with other people or sell on forums/Ebay, but I welcome lower prices and they can't come quick enough.

Hasn't Indiana Jones BD been that price (including that target exclusive edition if your store still has it) for a couple of months now? I know I picked it up for that last month with a coupon.

At least you got it. I completely struck out at my store. It was a tremendous let-down

It was for a week a few weeks ago. TPCs usually only last a week.

I don't have a single worthless DVD, HD DVD or Blu-ray. But I measure value in the joy I (or other members of my family) get in watching them. Measuring them by their current market value is pointless since I have no intention of selling them. They're just like shoes. I don't consider my shoes worthless if their price drops. I consider them worthless when they no longer perform the function I purchased them for.

Ok, I've probably picked up a few worthless movies along the way. But their worth dropped the instant I finished watching the movie and realized it was crap, not when the market price went down.

The coupon comes from the covers of the first printing of Eagle Eye on DVD. It takes $10 off transformers, tropic thunder, cloverifield, and a few others.

Updated the Standard DVD section to remove the Iron Man listings. I'll be going to Target tomorrow or Wednesday, so if I see any new ones, I'll update the OP again.
