Someone mentioned at blu-ray.com that there is a special holiday promo that should bring the Hellboy 2 BD to 14.99. You just have to tell them to use it or something to that effect.

Oh well... I already opened mine. Do you think if I took the receipt back they'd give me $3 back?

Which creates another question... would BBV actually care about their customers enough to do it?

I don't know if it's been mentioned... but Best Buy has about five or six 2-packs of bunled blu-rays that are priced at $29.99. I can only name two off the top of my head (Nacho Libre/Spiderwick Chronicles and Face-Off/Next).

One pack has Cloverfield and Sleepy Hollow. That is a reasonable deal but I personally purchased both titles for less. It is also a bit of a weird pack IMHO. Both movies are good though so this might be worth a look.

Never buying new releases again for Amazon. Screwed several times over in the past few days. No more price guarantee = me waiting.

Same here. Unless it's something I must have on day 1 like TDK. Even Best Buy has done similar sales where on week 1, a certain release is $27.99, but a few weeks later, it's $5 cheaper. Target is guilty as well. I think I can wait also.

How low do we think Dirty Harry will go in the next 6 months?

The set's always been attractive, at this price it's a possibility, but I still think that above $10 per disc is a little too high. Although I did bite when the Planet of the Apes collection hit $70.

Atleast with Target you can return a sealed item up to 90 days later for a full refund (so if it does become cheaper, you rebuy it and return it with your more "expensive" receipt). I am getting so pissed that titles are dropping $5-$10 in the course of a week and Amazon won't price match their own damn website. Hell, even the Criterions are on sale for $5 less! I think for now on, I will buy new releases at Target and if Amazon becomes cheaper in 90 days buy it from them and return it back to Target.

FYI, Justice League S1 just dropped in my Amazon cart to 28.99. Despite the A/R controversy, it's not too bad a price.

Whoops, Moopher--didn't check your links before I posted. Not trying to steal your thunder!

Haha no problem! I'm always up for a good deal, and that Justice League set is a good one for sure. I paid $35 for it when it came out, and I really like it.

I'm tempted, but the dvd set is holding me out until this hits rock bottom pricing.

Yeah, it's a good but not great price for me right now... I'm undecided.

It's in my Gold Box, so it's actually 62 bucks and change at the moment. Unfortunately I already bought in the Deep Discount sale last month.

for those who interested in the UK import,

almost all the ITV titles has lower to 9.XX Pounds today at Amazon-UK. It is the lowest price I have seem. (also now is the time to take advantage of current stronger exchange rate.)

ITV titles includes Ipcress File, Black Narcissus, The Eagle Has Landed, Capricorn One, Escape To Athena... etc, I read they all have pretty good review.

Also Zulu is 12.98 now which I think is pretty good price (not ITV titles.)

I ordered them all... maybe a bit too much Michael Caine in my blu collection )

Amazon.co.uk has a Buy 3 For 2 deal. I ordered Zulu, Almost Famous Director's Cut, and Close Encounters Of The Third Kind 30th Anniversary for $45 shipped. Zulu looks absolutely fantastic from what I've seen.

Currently, Close Encounters on Blu in the US is $32, so what the hek.
