So this might seem like a dumb question, but does anyone know what Amazon means when they say the Black Friday deals start Thursday at 12 a.m. PST? Do they mean, like, TONIGHT at midnight or basically when Thursday turns to Friday at midnight?

Thursday, 12am PST is when Wednesday changes to Thursday, aka Midnight, on the West Coast - Pacific Standard time
1AM - Mountain Standard
2AM - Central Standard
3AM - Eastern Standard

I bought the House Seasons 1 & 2 2pack back in June at Target and it is single sided discs.

$12.99 is the 3 disc one and $19.49 is the 6 disc one. Pay the extra and get the 6 disc one or wait for it to come on sale. The 3 disc one is a piece of crap. AMAZON is bad about combining reviews of the same product just different versions.

For me it was not. For you, it might be. Check it out.

I just checked out with F&F ... price was up in my cart, but the Lightning Deal promo was still applied at checkout.

The $12.99 Amazon version has a customer review dated July 20, 2009 stating that he/she received the single sided anamorphic discs.

Just above it, another customer review dated August 23, 2009 stating that he/she received the dual sided (non-anamorphic) discs.

This is really a crap shoot...

I personally won't look for the House: Season 1 online due to this risk. I'll limit myself to B&M stores where I can look at the back and clearly see the word "anamorphic" written on it before I would buy it. (And the new version does have that written on the back.)

Thanks for the info. I checked out and the price was lower than the cart price. Good to know I can stack deals through the day and then check out later.

Best Buy has it on sale for 12.99 this week but all their copies were the non-anamorphic versions. I went to Target and they had some of the anamorphic versions so I just did a price match.

Left 4 Dead 2 is up on Best Buys website for $34.99 now...still no idea what Amazon is doing for it yet. Figured I should buy it from the first available and then see if Amazon does anything so I would be safe at that price.

The list of Blu-ray movies is now showing as 286, it was 192 or so before. It must be on!

Re: AMAZON Black Friday Week Bargains
 
According to their sale page Supernatural should be $14.99 or under but it's listed for $17.99 Now what?

DirkBelig 11-26-09 02:05 AM

Re: AMAZON Black Friday Week Bargains
 
Lovely. The "Blu-rays under $10" like Braveheart are $19.49 and all sorts of other higher-than-$10 prices.

Edit: Proceeding to checkout doesn't show any Lightning Deal discounts.

Edit #2: Supernatural S4 was $17.99, then $14.99. They must be hitting the server with a mallet. Don't panic. Yet.

Edit #3: After putting Supernatural in the cart, Braveheart BD shows as $10. LET THE SPENDING BEGIN!!!!
