Alright good deal. They're all preorders anywayso I'm not too worried, but I can wait patiently, I was just curious.
|
I placed one around 5pm and one around 9pm. I've heard nothing on either, but like you, they're all preorders.

... if this one goes through too. I didn't use the general email form, I used the one from the Promotions Help section. http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...&nodeId=518228 Click that link and then the Contact Us button, choose your order, click email, and then from the pull down for the subject, choose "General Inquiry." Both of my responses came quickly after using that form. Time for another order. :up: EDIT TO ADD: The link I used as a reference to the sale is no longer valid: We're sorry, this sale has ended. For more low-priced DVDs, visit our DVD Deals store. Oh well. :( |

Just got a weird response from Amazon re: one of my emails for the B2G1F deal...anyone else get this?
Thank you for writing to Amazon.com to bring this to our attention. I'm sorry your order total was calculated incorrectly. I researched your order confirmed that it qualifies for the promotional discount you mentioned. We'll be glad to issue a refund of these additional charges. However, because you are not charged until your items ships, we can't issue a refund until the entire order has been shipped. I apologize for this inconvenience. Once your entire order has been shipped, please use the link below to request a refund. Please visit the following link to provide the information we requested: http://www.amazon.com/rsvp-mi?c=fwrg...60046614&q=o2r You will be directed to a web page where you can paste a copy of the cost summary from your original order confirmation e-mail. We will request the appropriate refund to your credit card for the amount you were erroneously charged. I hope this solution is satisfactory. Thank you for shopping at Amazon.com. |
abrg,
Thats a new one. I got the e-mail everyone else got 4 times (for 4 different orders) and I just checked My Account...and it all looks fine. |
I now really wish I had made a couple of more orders. There were some really good titles in the 13.99-14.99 range. I didn't want to push my luck, though.
But it looks like I was able to get credited for my pre-orders, and considering I already had all of those discs ordered already, I can only save money. I was hoping they would keep the sale open for another day or two. :( |

I only did Pre-Ordered titles...just in case the deal never went through I wouldn't be stuck with some titles I really didn't want.

http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...entPage=family Damn, I should have jumped on it but I have been happy with my Samsung BD-P1400 so I was hesitating. That $20 coupon would have made it even more attractive. |
The Amazon Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale is up...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.htm...cId=1000272741 And look at that...they raised prices on ALL the titles! What a joke. |

I guarantee you as soon as this B2G1 free ends, Predator, Commando and the whole bunch will drop right down to the typical $13.95/$14.95 price. Amazon ups the prices up purpose making the B2G1 Free sales barely even a "sale". Looking at that list the following titles were upped $1 - $6. Terminator 2, Commando, Predator, Master and Commander, I, Robot, Man on Fire, Day after Tomorrow, Butch Cassidy, Scissorhands, Mr Brooks. That just off my memory. Take a look at the previous Amazon glitch sale from the pas few days...people posted their orders and many ordered titles that are far less in price than what they have today. |
Well, I hope you're right, because my brother was wanting me to order Predator for him for $13.95, but I don't think either of us needs any of the other titles in this promotion.

Take a look at the previous Amazon glitch sale from the pas few days...people posted their orders and many ordered titles that are far less in price than what they have today. As to the other prices, I don't follow Amazon every day. So I can't say what happened this weekend. But I know I was looking at this exact same sale last week. And these prices are all pretty much the same. All the $39.99 MSRP titles sold for $27.95. All the $34.98 MSRP titles sold for $23.95. All the $29.98 MSRP titles were either $20.95 or $19.95, I can't remember. Since they're $19.95 now, the price didn't go up. Unless Amazon dropped their prices on all these titles for a weekend, they didn't raise anything. And even if they did, these are the same prices they normally have and I'm reasonably certain they're no higher than they were last week during the same sale. Either your memory is off or Amazon returned to "normal" pricing after last weekend's weirdness. |
Amazon typically keeps the Blu-rays at about 30% off the MSRP, which nearly all of the titles listed in this sale are. Some are even a little more than 30%. I would say these prices are fairly consistent with their normal Blu-ray prices. But it does seem like there are fewer listed than last time.
|
As soon as the sale ends, you will see numerous titles in this "sale" drop in price. I'm not going to bother debating it. This happens every single time Amazon has some sort of sale - regardless if its Blu-ray or HD DVD in the past, prices go up a few bucks and as soon as its over, they drop back down to normal. Now that there is no longer a Price Guarantee, you get stuck paying the higher price due to the BOGO. We all use to make out like pigs getting B2G1Free and then getting $3-$7 back (per title, Even the free ones) using the 30 day guarantee.
As posted only a few days ago Fox Introduces New $20 Retail Price Level for Blu-ray Posted in Amazon, Studios on September 20th, 2008 by Dave In a surprise move, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment appears to have introduced a new pricing level. While back in March Fox introduced a $30 retail price for some of its less popular releases, the studio is now following Lionsgate with a budget level $20 retail pricing strategy for a subset of the studio's older releases. Titles with the new $20 retail price tag according to Amazon include Commando, Predator, Kiss of the Dragon, Men of Honor, Pathfinder, Chain Reaction, Entrapment, The Hills Have Eyes 2: Unrated, The Sentinel and Courage Under Fire. These titles now list for $14.95 at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Predator-Blu-r...2126669&sr=1-1 $19.95 Hmm...Ok, but the price was just a mistake? Now look at Amazon: Here is Entrapment - one of the titles listed above and NOT in the B2G1Free http://www.amazon.com/Entrapment-Blu...2126516&sr=8-2 $14.95 How about another title not in the B2G1 Free: http://www.amazon.com/Hills-Have-Eye...2126591&sr=1-5 $14.95 One more not in the B2G1 Free: http://www.amazon.com/Commando-Blu-r...2126625&sr=1-2 $14.95 See the pattern? If its part of the B2G1Free they raise the price. If its not, it stays the same. |

As posted only a few days ago Lets take a look at Predator, one of the titles listed above, claiming to be $14.95 on Amazon posted just a few days ago: http://www.amazon.com/Predator-Blu-r...2126669&sr=1-1 $19.95 Hmm...Ok, but the price was just a mistake? Now look at Amazon: Here is Entrapment - one of the titles listed above and NOT in the B2G1Free http://www.amazon.com/Entrapment-Blu...2126516&sr=8-2 $14.95 How about another title not in the B2G1 Free: http://www.amazon.com/Hills-Have-Eye...2126591&sr=1-5 $14.95 One more not in the B2G1 Free: http://www.amazon.com/Commando-Blu-r...2126625&sr=1-2 $14.95 See the pattern? If its part of the B2G1Free they raise the price. If its not, it stays the same. Also, does any other e-tailer list the supposed new $20 MSRP for Fox titles? I'd like to see more than some random posting on the internet to confirm these prices. Plus, the titles in this sale have been the same since before the September 20th posting you listed. Its not like Amazon actively took out titles from the sale. |
I think that he is stating that lower priced Fox items are raised up during the sale to recoup some loss and then lowered back to the original price once the sale ends.

Just to show you I am not lying here, posted 9/15: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/...d.php?t=197290 Right now Predator and Commando are $14 and $15 respectively. Amazon (Predator $14) http://www.amazon.com/Predator-Blu-r...1527063&sr=1-2 (Commando $15) http://www.amazon.com/Commando-Blu-r...1527063&sr=1-1 Tower (thanks postulio x 2 ) (Predator $11.86) http://www.tower.com/predator-arnold...wapi/111810829 (Commando $14) http://www.tower.com/commando-arnold...wapi/107058825 |

Ive been watching it because Ive been debating buying it.

Oh, I believe you that Predator was cheaper. I noticed the price drop too. I thought it was an error, as no other e-tailer had that price and the MSRP was down to $20. I didn't buy it as I already own it. But it was the only title in the sale that was that low. As Amazon raised its prices back up, I wonder if the price drop was legit or an error. I have no idea, as I don't follow all the news that closely. My only point was that Predator was the only movie in the current sale which went up in price from last week. And I though that change was an error. Thus the complaint of higher prices during this sale seems erroneous. Other discs may change in price, but since they're not part of this sale, what does it matter? |

I got that, too--which is weird, because I haven't gotten a blu-related email from amazon in quite some time.

They won't do price protection after the purchase anymore, as of 9/1.

An AVS member named cinemasquid has a website that tracks all of the price changes at Amazon for blu-rays.
http://www.cinemasquid.com/PriceAdjustments.aspx It makes tracking the increases and decreases easy and he also has captures from about 60+ movies on the site. |
