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

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.

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.

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.

Mother. Fucker. I just bought Shooter and a couple others, and now Shooter and several others I kept in my cart for later dropped form 8 to 5. I know it's only 3 bucks, but [Gob Bluth] COME ON! [/GOB BLUTH]

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

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.

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]

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

Re: April 7th Warner Catalog Releases at Reasonable Pre-order Prices
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.

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.

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.
