Just rub it in it.

I guess I'm actually not that worried about missing it. I have a feeling we'll see a comparable price again eventually. I can wait.

DirkBelig

Aw, crap. Forgot to set an alarm for True Blood. Fortunately, the g/f is being cool about it.

I picked up:

Wanted (BD) - $10
Drag Me To Hell (BD) - $11.99
Children of the Corn (BD) - $6.99
30 Rock Season 2 - $12.99
Flight of the Conchords S1 - $8.99
Flight of the Conchords S2 - $8.99

and I think I'm done.

I'm rather surprised that Mad Men: S1 [Blu-Ray] is still only at 21% claimed. That's the one I was waiting for the most all week long. Granted, they've had it at a sale price of $20.49 for a few days now, but still.

asianxcore

Are there any plans for Madmen: Season 2 (Blu-Ray) to drop a little more in price during this sale?

With some Amazon credit, I paid about $80 for everything. Thank you Amazon, for sparing me the hassle of going to multiple stores on the off chance I might find a remaining copy of the item I wanted, not to mention throwing in some excellent deals of your own.

Ordered xmen united steelbook that they marked down to $6.99. From past experience I had a feeling as I placed the order it would arrive damaged and sure enough UPS drops it off and it is in a very thin bubble mailer nearly 4 times the size of the case. I could hear it slam on the ground as the ups guy dropped it in the door. The top of the case is bent and the spine is spliting apart from the cover and despite being shrink-wrapped there is leftover sticky residue from a previous security sticker.

Amazon is making me insane. SCRUBS SEASON 8 keeps popping back and forth between a $15 and $35 price tag-- four times now, including twice today.

Fry's Electronics always has this set for $29.99 at least one every 6 weeks.

HistoryProf

why won't amazon ship the Dark Knight blu ray to a PO Box?

Superdaddy

My total amazon haul for the week (all DVDs except Beatles set which is CDs obviously):

Snow White 2-disc $15.99 (w/pre-order price guarantee)
Santa Buddies $1.99 (w/Snow White pre-order)
An American in Paris 2-disc $8.49
Body Heat Deluxe Edition $5.79
Total Eclipse $5.79
Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 1 $14.99 (Lightning Deal)
Charlie Wilson's War $4.99
Prince of the City 2-disc $5.79 (watch this appear at BL again for $3.00 lol)
Watchmen Theatrical Version $6.99
Beatles Stereo Box Set $99.99 (Lightning Deal)

And from the Marketplace:
Appaloosa $1.01 (wasn't around for Lightning Deal)
Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 2 $8.50

All except the Beatles box were paid for with GCs obtained as Amazon Visa rebates. And I'm due another $50.00 worth of rebates next week or so. Amazon better make this stop or I will not have any cash left for pre-orders. But seriously, thanks to them for these great sales and for getting orders out fast despite the insanity that must be ensuing at their warehouses. Between this and the Criterion sale at B&N, it has been an incredible month for fans of DVD and Blu-ray.

In for Lightning Deal on Prison Break: Season Four $14.99

NCC1701E

I think they need a street addy as they ship most things via UPS.

Sweet Baby James

Decided to go ahead and finish off Prison Break for $14.99.

My wallet has taken a bloody beaten. However, I rather my money go to Amazon than Worst Buy.

skacore

I want to jump on the Prison Break deal but I really would rather have the blu ray's from Germany or France.

jiggyblau

I'll echo the remarks above - I've been crushed by this day. Luckily, I think these prices made me look at next week's Snatch/Lock Stock preorder and cancel it. $17.50 per title? Seriously? I'm hoping they drop at some point, or maybe Amazon will at least offer a discount for buying both. For now, with all of these additions, I can wait. The list below completely ignores all the other deals - printer, scanner, flashlight, hard drives, video games and other gadgets - that I couldn't resist.

RoadToPerdition

Anyone else think a lot of these stores have hurt themselves by offering these really low prices, especially on Blu-rays? I think many people (myself included) are going to be rather hesitant going forward to drop the same money on DVDs and Blu-rays that they might have before these sales. I'll be hard-pressed to pay more than $14.99 for a new Blu-ray and more than $11.99 for a catalog Blu-ray after this, and MUCH less for DVDs.

moviewizguy

Don't worry. I was like that even before Black Friday.

ebertofsmut

If studios expect Blu-ray to emerge as the new dominant format, these are the kind of prices that consumers respond to. I would never pay $29.99 or $24.99 for a new Blu-ray release. $14.99-16.99 are reasonable prices and can bring the masses to Blu-ray.

RequiemX

Agreed. It's at that point when I will buy a Blu-ray player.

I think it's coming. Maybe 9-18 months?
