Damn, I purchased both during the CH BOGO sale and figured it would never get cheaper than that.

I didn't think I'd buy any more HD DVDs at all, even if the discounts were ridiculous, but I guess I was wrong.

Every time I say I'm not going to I find a few more to pick up. I paid $5.94 ea. for Animal House, Mummy and similiar prices for Christmas Vacation and Polar Express from other sales and I just got $19.00 in credit from Secondspin on those 4 titles. So in this case at least the upgrade was around $5 total including shipping.

Great Deal! Thanks to OP, I picked them up.

I agree with you Jim, but, luckily I can't afford to pick titles up on release week anymore. I always wait for deals anymore.

There are several Paramount two-packs on preorder from Amazon here.

Note: Some are listed more than once at lower prices.

It looks like the price difference between the same sets might be whether they are Side By Side or Back To Back. Weird that it would make a difference in price.

Decent deal if you're interested in owning Eagle Eye. Unfortunately, I'm not.

The majority of ITV's Blu-ray releases (which are all region free) are the same price. With the somewhat unusual catalog thus far, they're a favorite label of mine.

Just an fyi on this remote. I have had 2 of them. After a while, it becomes hard to charge for some reason. It doesnt seem to sit right on the charge station or something. I contacted Logitech and they didnt have a resolution except to send me another one. Which immediately had the same issue.

So, it works, but does have its issues. Other than the charging problem, it works great.

My understanding is that the original charge cradles were not shaped right. They were then redesigned and this is what led to so many "refurbs" being available: the existing inventory of remotes was repackaged with the new charge cradle.

I've had no problems with mine thus far, but it has only been three months.

That's what I heard, and I've had no problems with mine, either.

No problems with my 880 either. I've had it about six months.

Re: One & Only HD/BD Bargains Thread Part III: Back in Training

Looks like a pricing mistake so might want to act fast. The MSRP $14.99 is for the DVD release. Great price on a bbblu pre-order.

I was actually charged $17.33. You are checked out using British pounds so the conversion rate gave me that total. Should have it by Monday or Tuesday I would guess.
