My preorders for the Gauntlet and Under Siege 2 shipped out yesterday for $19.95 each. They'd better not give me crap about adjusting those prices down.

Yep I miss those sales. Fortunately, it's forced me to become more selective about my purchases.

I don't know it it's really a deal or not, but Best Buy has a little flyer/pamphlet in stores called "Best Buy Insider". In it is a 10% off coupon for any blu-ray, as well as double Reward Zone points coupon. Both expire 9/30.

I used the last one they had (for August) and picked up A Clockwork Orange for $13.50, so it works fine on sale items. Could make for a small deal if you wanted to pick something up in-store.

You know, I picked those up the last couple of months and never noticed that there was a coupon in there. Thanks for the heads up!

When I bought a BD a few days ago, they couldn't get both to work it was either one or the other.

I took the 10% off.

Amazon has 40% off select Disney Blu-Rays which makes them $20.95 a piece:
  • Cars
  • Ratatouille
  • Pixar Short Films Collection
  • Meet the Robinsons
  • Dinosaur
  • Chicken Little

Not the best deal in the world, but good enough for some folks.

Have Disney movies been part of any sales, or should I assume that this is probably the best I can get for the time being?

I've been meaning to get the Pixar Short Films Collection.

Disney Blu-rays have been in better sales. It's been a while, but I picked up a few some months back at Toys R Us and Target for about $15 each. I'm pretty sure the Pixar Short Films disc was in the Target sale.

Wouldn't hold my breath for that again, though. Some of the best deals I've seen lately are in the Buy/Sell/Trade forum.

I can't speak for Dinosaur, but I have every other one of those and they are some of the best damn looking movies on the format. I'm waiting for a $10 deal on Dinosaur since reviews weren't too kind on the Blu transfer.

Agreed... especially Ratatouille.

Amazon now has it for $245.21. It's listed as $295.21, but put it in your cart and proceed to checkout. At checkout you will see $50 deducted from that price for a total of $245.21.

I haven't even tried, but are you sure that $50 deduction is universal? Is it possible you just have a $50 credit on your account?

I only ask, because I've never heard of Amazon doing a discount that way before.

It's not specific to my account. I first read about it at blu-ray.com. I thought it didn't work at first because I just put it in my cart without proceeding to checkout.

This one is about to be replaced by the DMP-BD35. I'm not sure what is improved in the 35 vs. the 30. I hope SD upscaling performance, cause it ain't good in this unit.
