I was just about to order the following titles:
The Fly (1958)/Return of the Fly (1959)
The Fly /The Fly 2 (1986)
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea / Fantastic Voyage

when I noticed they all had an MSRP of $34.98. I then checked with Dvdpricesearch and the correct MSRP for each is $24.98.

I am now concerned I may have overpaid for some Dvds from them in the past as I've been ordering a lot from them lately because of GC's from Jaboom.

I can't speak for other titles, but I asked a CSR about the Fly/Fly 2 double set and she indicated that the reason that had not changed the price yet was because the studio had not contacted them about the price decrease.

As to how true that is, I can't say.

But, I don't plan to order it from them unless they get the correct MSRP.

I find it hard to believe that the studio would neglect to contact arguably the largest e-tailer about a price change.

It's easier to believe that Amazon is shorthanded this week (Due to employee vacations) and hasn't gotten around to it.

I went ahead and ordered both Fox double feature discs from Amazon today anyways....
(VTTBOTS/FV and Fly(1958)/Return)

I just gotta have these titles...

Edit: Oh, and if they do adjust the prices, that'll mean I can roll over the additional GC balance towards The Blob:CC! (I gotta have that one too!)
