i know...was just tempering the original post that said "most" hd dvds were raised up over $20...which isn't remotely true...wasn't trying to be snippy with it...sorry if it came off like that.

Have to wonder if some kind of sale is ever going to happen though. i've got $50 in best buy cards waiting for that rumored 75% off sale.

what really sucks is they put up the price on Zodiac, but mine has been backordered for about 3 weeks now (got in at $19)

Amazon still has it for $18.95...at least for now.

i'm in new zealand so amazon's ridiculous shipping charges for movies are a no-go for me, but thanks

Went to Hastings today and they had three aisle shelves full of HD-DVDs. One shelf was all brand new for $12.99. One shelf was all brand new (mostly the combo titles) for $16.99, and one shelf was stocked full of used titles for $9.99 each. I already have everything I want that was on sale - but someone might find something good with this sale...

Just in case it hasn't been posted:

Fry's had the BBC version of Planet Earth for $39.99

At Fry's I found that and the Ocean's 11/12/13 box set, which was $33.99 - cheaper than any price I could find online.

ezyDVD Price/Availability Update
 

Only a few changes this week. One title (Fast and Furious) is now OOS, but nobody over 15 cares about that movie. The Greenback has slipped against the Rooback again, it's now 0.9446 USD per AUD, making things about 1% more expensive in USD than last week.

bensbargains.net has better deal posted:

The bailout continues. ShopPBS.org has the Planet Earth: Complete Collection on defunct HD-DVD for $30 - automatic 15% off Earth Day promo - 15% code WELCOME15 + $5 shipping = $27. This release includes all the episodes (4 DVDs) from the original BBC production. This is the preferred version narrated by the British Dude and not the Alien Woman.

David

^ That's a nice deal for a *great* series

OOS now.

...Nevermind.

wow...extra 15% comes off the 29.99 price so it's 4.50 off...26.62 total with shipping. finally bit on it for that price!

is it just me or are these all gone? searching "HD DVD" used to bring up the whole list, now all you get is:

Into The Wild (HD DVD) HD DVD $ 42.83
In stock now - Available to ship
Santana - Hymns For Peace: Live At Montreux 2004 (HD DVD) HD DVD $ 29.83
In stock now - Available to ship
Yes - Live At Montreux 2003 (HD DVD) HD DVD $ 29.83
In stock now - Available to ship


$42.83 for Into the Wild?!?!??!??!

Mine was weird, the first 15% discount actually came up to about 13.5% once it got in the cart. Oh well, still a good deal, esp. with the new customer discount.
My Gamestop had B2G4 free when I went in last week, but they had total crap, in crappy condition, and not a single HD disk.
WalMart had The Mummy for 12.00, Knocked Up for 17.00, and everything else at their full price. Not finding many deals here.

Ah. Nice. Even though Earth was "in stock, ships in 1-2 days" when I ordered it, i just got the "Backorder, available in 3-4 weeks" email. Which means I won't get it. Gotta love non-real-time inventory systems.

anywhere i can get blade runner for amazon's price that takes paypal? i don't know why i haven't gotten it yet, but i need to and it's been gone from ddd for a while now.

Yep, ezydvd hd-dvd sale has finished. GREAT whilst it lasted :)

not quite finished...just got an email with a "secret blow out sale!" from EzyDVD. most everything is 9.92 and down to 4.92 for one of the HPs. got knocked up and King Kong for $12.48au + shipping. they were cheaper in the cart than listed on the page...so worth exploring. 24 hours only, so this is it...no guarantees of anything in stock.

did notice the Star Trek set is only $69.83

ETA: picked up The Thing for $7.20au too. even $4.50 shipping its only $11 - close enough to the $10 price point ;)

Finally dipped for Harry Potter 1-5. I knew waiting would benefit me sooner or later.

Thanks, I didn't get the email but jumped in for my last order :)

Bingo! Got the same email.

I was waiting for a better deal on Knocked Up. Glad I waited.

I'm thinking I'll go ahead and pull the trigger on Star Trek TOS S1. $79 shipped is a dandy price and is 20% less than the current best online price (Amazon), which itself is $40+ less than all the other online prices I can find (even Buy.com and DD).

I'll just have to invest in new cases, that's all. The packaging looks like teh suck.

I got the email, too...figured Kenbuzz would've seen it first. ;)

Tempted to get Star Trek at that price.

With prices like these, I think it is time I pulled the trigger. Thanks!
