Don't buy Fox old movie Blu-ray
I think the price for old movie is not so reasonable:
Independence day $29.99 Patton $29.99 ..... Don't buy it , until fox reduces their price. Lionsgate is very reasonable: Rambo - First Blood Part II $13.95 |
I think you'll have a hard time convincing people not to buy expensive Blu-Rays, although a lot of people here can find great deals all over the net and in retail stores.
|
Independence Day is $19.95 at Amazon currently. Am I allowed to buy it at that price? :)
I will say that the Patton pricing is pretty ridiculous. The MSRP for the DVD coming out the same day is $19.98, which is half of the MSRP for the BD. |
I'm not a fan of Fox's pricing, but I buy what I want regardless.
I pretty much never watch extras. For me it's all about the film. So it doesn't matter to me whether a film is new or old. If I buy a day and date Paramount title from $28 from Amazon, to me that is no different than buying Patton. They're both films I want in HD. Regarding Rambo 2 and 3, this is the first time LG is doing a lower list price, and I have a feeling it is largely due to the two movies being released in a pretty cheap box set the same day. If LG does more $20 list prices on higher profile catalog releases, then I'll get excited. |
truelies, because you made a very compelling case on why I shouldnt purchase Blu-ray with all the data and facts you provided... I'm going to one up this boycott - I'm going to sell all my fox titles.
nevermind - the urge passed. |

I just wait for sales on Fox catalog titles.

In all seriousness though, he does have a point.
But instead of boycotting BD films from a studio whynot a month long boycott from America on gasoline? Those day long boycotts dont do shit to the deep pockets of oil tycoon companies. |
|
Fox had the highest pricing when DVD started up. They are the highest priced this time around as well. Sad, but true.
|
The only Fox Blu-ray titles I own were either because of a BOGO, a $19.99 sale (which is fair for a catalog title) or a Day and Date as they are on par with with most studios save for an extra $2-$7.
|
...favorite fox title would have to be 'The Fly' :up:
|
The only fox catalog titles I have were got from BOGO or other sales. I'm not paying $25+ for a barebones disc.
|
|
wouldnt it be funny if those numbers hit on the National Powerball...
|
Uh, I'm with the OP. I'm not paying $40 for anything. I did get KoH for $15 on sale.
|
Wow...look at that thread title. Wow.
|
i've never seen the Fox old movie, Blu-Ray, what is it about?
|
Now I'm going to, just to spite the OP.
|
I laughed when I was in Target the other day and saw the barebones Predator Blu-Ray for $35, sitting near the absolutely loaded Close Encounters Blu-Ray set for $30
|
My most wanted disc right now is i, Robot (guilty pleasure) but as I've said before there isn't a chance in hell I'm buying it for $20 let alone the $40 asking price when the DVD can be found for sub $10.
I might bite around $15. |
I'm playing the waiting game for most of the discs I want as well. A few movies are worth it to me to get right away, but most will have to wait for the $15 and under level.
I haven't purchased a Blu-ray disc since February. |
