just found this In the event that the Import Fees Deposit exceeds the Actual Import Fees, Amazon Export or Merchant (as applicable) will refund the difference to you. I call bullshit on that - because so far the fees have been ZERO and they still felt a need to add this.... After my Sweeney Todd/Incredible Hulk/Sleeping Beauty b2g1 order ships on Tuesday, I'm going to give them a piece of my mind! ;) |

As I said before, I tried a 1 item order (under the $20 CDN limit for custom's charges) and still got a $2.41 "Import Fees Deposit". I can just imagine the nightmare of getting that refunded... Moreover, we don't have a clue on how they calculate this. So even if I manage to calculate the correct Import Fees on a shipment and the value is lower than the "Deposit" they charged me, what proof would they require in order for me to get a refund? My guess is they woudn't have a clue.... Ridiculous. |
Doesnt this kind of belong in a Canada is getting screwed thread instead of the bargain thread?

Wanted to give a heads up, Amazon has Wall-E 3-disc (Digital Copy included) and the 2-disc set for the same price of $24.95. Pretty good deal.

Hey guys. I received a Best Buy/Magnolia HT flyer in the mail a couple days ago that advertises a Magnolia Home Theater Days event from Oct 19-Nov 1. Not too exciting in and of itself. However, it says that if you ask for a demo in one of their dedicated theater rooms, you will receive a coupon for $10 off your next Blu-ray movie purchase. The fine print says, verbatim, "Limit one Blu-ray coupon per customer", so it doesn't say whether it's just one per the event timeframe, per day, or per demo. It says the events are occurring in select stores, so YMMV. I'm in Columbia, MD.
Thanks for the heads-up Sid! :up: |

Great. Amazon raised prices on most of those titles. They do this BS everytime.

I think the basic conclusion was that they raised the prices on some, but the prices were returning towards their "normal" prices instead of sale prices. It's not like Amazon is only taking 20% off MSRP now. If your complaining about these prices, it seems you are just looking for excuses to complain.

BTW,
Amazon has having two Goldbox Blu-ray deals later today. |

Can someone go to lightningdeals.com and see what the deals are specifically and then post them? That site is blocked at my work for some reason.

http://www.cinemasquid.com/PriceAdjustments.aspx Find out for yourself and do the math. I personally am disappointed that there are 6 pages of titles and only 1 that I want and don't have - and I don't have a huge collection. |

Its just becoming a joke to see these fake sales when in reality, you are not saving much from the day before. If its a bad deal, I'll call them out on it. Why be forced to buy 3 titles today when you only really want 2? Just wait till the sale is done and buy them at the lower, everyday price.
It depends on what you want to buy. I mean if I want three of those titles, then even if a couple of them go up $2 dollars, I still end up getting one free. That's a net gain. If I can't find three titles I want, then maybe it doesn't work out for me economically. I think part of the problem is that the same titles are being discounted and put in sales. Whether its a B2G1 sale, or just some straight discount, the same titles are trying to be moved. Now Amazon sometimes has these in straight sales (40-50% off), or sometimes has them in B2G1 promotions. But it's rare to have them both occuring at the same time. You're not going to get the 50% off prices AND get a B2G1 sale. To me, that's why they shift prices. They're changing from one sale to the next. I'm not disputing that some prices went up. But the current prices for this sale are at a minimum 30% off MSRP. Many titles are 40% off MSRP. And if I look around the interent, getting 30% off MSRP seems pretty standard for other stores. So I'm getting normal pricing, plus a buy 2 get 1 sale. That's not bad. I don't see other stores with that kind of deal. I could choose 3 titles on that list and go to other online stores like DVDplanet or DVDEmpire and I'd be saving money by utilizing this sale. Complaining that Amazon isn't giving you 45-60% off MSRP and a Buy 2 Get 1 free sale combined seems to be complaining simply to complain. I don't see any other store matching these kind of discounts. |

I just bought When We Left Earth of course, but it was only a $1 less. Oh well.
I went with Re-Cycle, Lonesome Dove and Space Cowboys. I've been meaning to get Re-Cycle and LD, and they both appear to have the same prices they've had all along so I don't feel too bad having to pick a $17 disc as my freebie - there's nothing else I need. |

It has 2 titles total that are on my WANT list, so anything else makes me get something I don't want or don't want a lot just to get the discount. Which, of course, would then make it no discount at all for me. And 1 of the titles, Mrs. Doubtfire, at $27 just seems wrong on principle at that price. I can wait until that price drops. Hopefully, the next deal will have some better choices. |
Can someone recommend 3 of these for me:
16.95 Alexander, Revisited - The Final Cut [Blu-ray] (2004) 16.95 Dawn of the Dead [Blu-ray] (1979) 16.95 Day of the Dead [Blu-ray] (1985) 16.95 Eraser [Blu-ray] (1996) 16.95 Fifth Element, The (Remastered) [Blu-ray] (1997) 16.95 Wyatt Earp [Blu-ray] (1994) |

I was thinking Alexander, Day and Dawn.

Thanks, but that still doesn't trump buy 2 get 1 free.

Is Dawn of the Dead worth it on Blu if you have the UE? Just looking to see other than reviews I've read some personal opinions.
And am I better off getting a DVD of Wall Street, as I've heard the PQ is terrible? |

Great deal for it on BD, though. For some reason this title seems high everywhere I've looked online. PS-Mentioned this before.

So I'm doing whatever to find deals and pick up 1 or 2 upgrades if I see them somewhere to be prepared for the deluge of releases that will be coming to BD for the first time in the next 12-24 months. I'm guessing hundreds and hundreds of mine will be going from SD to BD in that time. So is this the only thread that keeps track of deals? For example, you knew about Mrs. Doubtfire on BD for $14. Someone also gave some examples of deals at BB for $14.95. Do people just post titles when they see deals? Is there a weekly list of the deals both online and in stores? I don't see particulary great deals, say at BB, in speedy's threads, so I didn't think they had deals for major titles as low as $14.95. Do you all find this out in a certain place or is it just from going to the stores each week? As mentioned, with so many ugrades coming, picking off several a month or just when I can for prices like $14 would sure be helpful, but I've not seen prices like that other than once in a while at Amazon. Thanks. |
The Echo Bridge Blu-cube 20-pack is at Amazon for $70.95 which would be about $3.55 a movie. Yes, the titles are B-movies, but might be worth a purchase to some.

I realize they are B movies, but I was wondering if anyone had this set or some of the movies. Any of them worth checking out at all? I haven't heard of the majority of the titles.
