Blockbuster online is selling used HDs that average around $6.50 when using code "holidaysurprise" (30% off) plus 10% extra off for subscribers. Tax and shipping included in the final price. Not the best deal ever, but they have a few HDs that can't be found on those cheaper websites. This was a decent way for me to get the first Matrix movie w/out having to get a box set with two crappy movies included. Have no clue if these come with artwork or what the condition is.

Noticed the NiN concert is OOS.

Wow! Can't pass that up even if I have to wait 3-5 weeks for it to ship.

I have Prime and I've noticed as well that you only have a window of like 10 minutes after ordering before in-stock items get changed to Shipping Soon and are uneditable.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. Ordered something, thought about cancelling and couldn't because it was already shipping soon. In the past it'd sit there for days...

I picked up a few, for $6.50 if they are in decent shape it's a decent deal. I picked up a few titles I haven't been able to find. Several of those I wanted though were not available.

Here's a good Amazon Best Value deal.

Buy The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (Two Disc and BD Live) [Blu-ray] and get Wall-E (Two-Disc and BD Live) [Blu-ray] at an additional $10.00 off Amazon.com's everyday low price.

Total price: $33.98

Pretty good deal for folks that don't need the extra digital copy disc. If you want the digital copies, you can get the 3-disc sets for $39.98.

Why bother pre-ordering anything anymore?

I'm certainly not anymore. I still have my unopened and I paid $50ish for it. This is becoming a joke. Amazon no longer offers the 30 day price guarantee either.

Well I don't regret the $55 I spent but it does get irritating to see these drops.

Amazon never even responded to my 30-day guarantee request on BoB even though I had my order in before the 9/1 deadline. They can kiss my Prime re-up goodbye in March - I'm switching to Fry's for all purchases.

I did pick up a 37.40 copy for someone today at BB, so in my warped mind the two copies together cost me $46 per.

Amazon has the Samurai 7 Anime Blu-ray boxset for 54.95 which is 45% off the MSRP. Pretty good deal for a great anime.

Get it while you can. Amazon is price matching bestbuy.com's price. Once BB raises the price, so will Amazon.

I've been holding off on buying this one, but that price certainly hits the sweet spot. I finally pulled the trigger on it.

It's funny how many of us hold off on deals like this when BoB was selling on dvd after release for 80-100 bucks. Now if we don't get the HD version for half of that it isn't a deal.

the BoB deal is really sweet - i thought i was getting a premium deal when this was ~$47 at amazon on release. i can remember shelling out over $100 when the SD tin was originally released.

I think I paid $70 so when I saw the Borders deal for $55 I jumped on it. I should have known if Borders was selling for $55 someone else would do better

My local BBV has a bunch of BDs marked down to $17.99 (old releases as well as current ones).

One of them was Hellboy II, so I picked that up.

YMMV so you might want to swing by and see if there is anything you're looking for.

Yeah, the Hellboy 2 deal was also posted in the DVD Bargains forum. I got a flyer from Blockbuster in the Sunday paper with the deal listed so I think it should be good most places. I was thinking about getting it as a blind buy myself.
