65% off your choice of three different Blu-ray 3-packs.

I may grab up the Ghost Rider, Resident Evil, Underworld one.

Dang, they never have sets I could use. About the only one close is Vantage Point, Patriot, Black Hawk Down but I already have Patriot, now I'd have to sell the thing.

Yep, that's the only one I was interested in, but just got Black Hawk Down and Patriot in Amazon's B2G1 last month. :mad:

Nice three packs at Amazon but in the same boat as the rest of you, I already have one, two or all three offered in the pack.

If you could pick and choose from those nine movies it might be a decent deal. But you can't: so it's not.

Pass.

On the bright side my awesome order with Amazon.co.uk arrived today.

The three packs are always frustrating because I always have one of the titles or don't want one of the titles.

is there any difference between the Planet Earth Blu-ray set available at the Discovery Store and the BBC one available everywhere else?

Yes. Buy the one available "everywhere else."

Discovery Channel version has Sigourney Weaver narrating instead of David Attenborough. In addition, the episodes on the Discovery version have shorter run-times.

Why can't the studios just put these out as singles flicks with a lower price? It's frustrating.

Re: One & Only HD/BD Bargains Thread Part III: Back in Training
 
because they're crappy movies, and no one would buy them unless they're packaged with 1 mildly-crappy movie.

New deal on Amazon. Buy a Sony Blu-Ray player/PS3 and unlock a B1G1 on movies. Only allows up to five free movies.

Still at $270 for the s350 though.

Yea, it sucks. I just posted in case anyone was interested. I'm waiting to see the B2G1 after sale prices tonight.

I can't believe how the deals have fallen recently.

Sony Blu-Ray deal at Amazon

Save an additional 30% off any four Blu-ray discs
Save an additional 35% off seven discs
Save an additional 40% off 10 discs

They give you a whopping 19 titles to choose from.

Yeah, the selection is very weak. It is not enough to choose from. Heck, I already own a few of those titles so it makes the selection even worse! And others are bound to be in the same position. Plus -- some of those Sony titles just aren't worth that much anyway. It is a rip off. I really want Persepolis and CJ7 but $15 seems more reasonable. Not $16.86 each with a minimum order of 7 titles. That must be a joke...

Thanks for the heads up....

I was going to order almost 12 discs but the shipping is horrible from those guys...ended up only grabbing 2 :(

A few of those movies are from Amazon. I found myself wishing I really had an HD player because there are several I would want. It's tribute to the movie that Apollo 13 is still $15 on a defunct format.

Amazon is pricematching Best Buy's $16.99 pricing on these titles:

Iron Man
Transformers
Indiana Jones 4

Best Buy had them for that price last week. I dunno about this week though.

Man, that's REALLY tempting but I'm not sure if it's a "watch again" show.

DthRdrX 01-20-09 03:53 AM

Speaking of a definite "watch again show", Band of Brothers is 34.99 in the goldbox today.

Another B2G1 fee at Amazon. 29 Sony titles.

Why do I feel like I've seen those same titles ninety-billion times before, in similar sales?

Did they change the wording around to make it seem like a better deal? "Get Three for the Price of Two" instead of "Buy 2 Get 1 Free".

Re: One & Only HD/BD Bargains Thread Part III: Back in Training
 
I think they did Gizmo. I don't remember seeing that there when I posted it, but I was half asleep at the time anyway.

If I'm not mistaken all of the Blu-Ray's that were on sale last week are on sale until 1/30.

I remember looking at several signs in that section and all were marked with end dates of 1/30.

It figures. I paid $12.99 for it just two days ago, on Amazon.

Re: One & Only HD/BD Bargains Thread Part III: Back in Training
 
Just a heads up.

The glitch thread on AVS mentions that Sukiyaki Western Django has the "Right channel effects and center channel effects swapped in the TrueHD soundtrack."

I don't have it so I can't confirm it.

A new Amazon "save 40%" deal. Am I going crazy or did most of these bundles increase around 40%?

B&M coupons to save $3 off various Sony Blu-ray titles (and $10 off Spider-Man Blu-ray Trilogy set), Jan. 25 through Feb. 25.
