I bought my 880 as a refurb from Woot! several months back. It was ok for a few months but lately it will not recharge unless I strap it in to its cradle with a rubberband or some other implement(and even then it sometimes will not recharge). Too bad, as it is a great remote otherwise.

Yeah, it was odd because when I contacted Logitech about it, they sent me one that was supposed to be corrected, but it was the exact same one. Maybe they accidentally sent me an old one? Oh well.

My 880 can be a little difficult to get charging, but I've figured out the best way to place it in. And if it still isn't charging, all it usually requires is for me to push it into place.

Another "Buy more, save more" deal on Amazon. Not many titles but you can get some for $11-$13 after the deal.

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

That is a good idea of how much catalog titles should be.

They must be trying to dump them because the prices keep going down. I wonder if we'll see $3-$4 deals soon. I'm not getting rid of my HD DVD players or movies so I might buy a lot of titles still.

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

For its age and popularity Streets of Fire looks flat-out fantastic.

Will probably grab Anchorman. What else should I get, got $10 left on my Verizon rebate card: The Rundown, The Sting, or The Game? Thoughts?

Will probably pre-order Tango & Cash, American History X, and maybe Above the Law once my Amazon card is paid off a little more

P.S.: I never seem to see Black Rain included in any HD DVD deals nowadays.

You can't go wrong with "The Sting". It gets my endorsement, anyway.

If they haven't shipped yet you should be able to cancel and re-order. I myself did this for a few titles.

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

I tried that, but they're apparently shipping "soon" so the system won't let me. I emailed Amazon a few mins after I saw the price change; hopefully they'll throw me a bone.

Edit: A bone was thrown!
----------
Thank you for writing to Amazon.com.

The discounts we offer on items on our website do vary from time to time.

I've checked your order, and found that we currently offer a greater discount on "Shooter [HD DVD] (2007)" than at the time you placed your order.

Since this item has not yet shipped, I have adjusted the price to reflect the current discounted price, $5.00. This is the price you will be charged when the order ships.

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

amazon UK site has Planet Earth on Blu-ray for $21 (Euros) plus $3 (Euros) to ship to us in the US via airmail. Worked out to about $33 in real dollars shipped. Set shows up as $25 euros on the site but the price drops in your basket. I've held off, nearly bought the HD-DVD, but this works out to darn near the same price, and it isn't Sigourney Weaver.

Wow, wonder what caused the big change or if it will be like this with all their catalog releases or just that date or if other studios might finally bring the catalog releases down some. They're just killing me. $25 for Pretty Woman?


American History X was a definite pick-up, as was The Wedding Singer. Now I just might add Point of no Return. For $15 I might want some Bridget Fonda in HD]

Well, the MSRP is the same, so it may be Amazon that's applying these discounts. I don't know if this will be the case for all Warner titles in non-digibook packaging, or just these titles that I assume would be in less demand. These might be the results of that lower price for distributors that we heard about.

Pretty Woman is from Disney, who seem to think that raising prices would be a good idea.

Thanks. BD pricing is really frustrating.

The Secret Life of Bees (released last Tuesday) just dropped to $20.99. If you order together with Antwone Fisher you get a further $5 off.

Dave, that's Pounds, not Euros. The price drops in the basket because Amazon removes the VAT.

This price has been around for quite awhile. It's a great deal and I would have done it myself but I do have the HD DVD. According to reviews, the two are basically identical so I've just stuck with what I already had.

You mean you don't want to see a fictional character be killed on Valentines Day?
