Better pick it up today just in case. The Best Buy ad expires today. I think.:)

no it doesnt....the dates on the flyer are dec 21 - dec 27.

the 22.99 packs are 19.99 right now at sams. picked up trading places/coming to america finally

"just let your soooooul glo"
Unfortunately, too many of those 2-packs have a movie I already own.

Picked up Daredevil Director's Cut at Wal-Mart for $14.98. That is the regular price, I believe.

wow that's a good price. the cheapest i've seen that one for is $27.99

Costco Blu ray sale: There is a sale at costco with these price adjustments:

all $19.99 movies are now $14.99
all $18.99 ..................... $13.99

You'll get the instant $5.00 discount as you cash out.
There are some that are discounted by $7.00

They had a fairly good selection including " I am legend" for $13.99 (with discount)

Merry Christmas all

I don't think it's ALL titles priced as you've stated. The signs at my costcos last night listed the studio and a "model" number. Which limits the discounts to only those titles from X studio and that have X model number on that price sticker.

^^^^^
You are correct.
The Costco.com sale has been going on for awhile now and is limited to certain titles from Fox, Sony and Warner.
Certain Costco locations may be having their own sales but my local one is not.

Go figure they have a sale like that. Nearly ALL of the titles at my Costco are $25.99 and above.

Good way to get you into the warehouse anyway.:rolleyes:

Yes, Best Buy has Band of Brothers for $37... as well. I am just going to pick it up at Best Buy this Friday if I don't get it for Christmas.

Keep checking your Amazon giold box. My gold box has Band of Brothers is $35.62 right now.

no it doesnt....the dates on the flyer are dec 21 - dec 27.

Yes, it also ays it right on the sale tag.
I will wait to see if I get it for Chirstmas. If not, I'll be there on Friday to pick it up. ;)

Keep checking your Amazon giold box. My gold box has Band of Brothers is $35.62 right now.

I will do that! Thanks!

Edit: Just checked... BoB is $37.49 right now.
I think I'll just pick it up at BB if th eprice does not fall some more. Then again, the government gets enough of my $$. :(

Anyone heard of what kind of Blu Ray deals we'll see after Jan 09?
My guess is, things will be pretty slow till spring once Christmas passes.

I'm not sure you will see that much I think most studio's will rather sell 1 at $25.99 then sell 5 or 6 at $15.:(

I think it just depends on how hungry the industry gets with this economy.
Anyway, I don't want to get this thread off topic with to much procrastination, but I am curious as to whether anyone has heard rumors of aggressive Q1 sales to really crank things up.
I think we are going to have to see some serious marketing or things could get awfully painful on the Blu Ray front.

Well, IMO things are acually pretty hot for BR right now. They've gone the way of chaeaper/sales priced players this season and the players are selling like hot cakes. Once you buy the player, you're gonna buy the discs no matter what they cost... or at least rent a ton of them anyway.
More sales for software will come eventually. I think they are just concentrating on getting the players in homes right now.

It is also on their website for that price. Not sure what they charge for shipping. Plus taxes have to be paid, just like in-store.

Roger - Gold box is "extra savings on different products every day". When you go to the Amazon homepage, look at the very top of the page, dead center, there should be a link labeled "today's deals" (with a gold box to the left of it).

Nice, I paid about $45 from Amazon roughly a month ago :(!
I checked my BofB order and it was Dec 2. I requested return authorization and then called to see if they would be willing to make some kind of adjustment. They weren't willing to directly adjust my price, but they were willing to provide a $10 credit towards a future purchase. That seems fair to me and so I agreed -- I'm reasonably sure I'll be purchasing from Amazon again at some point :)! Now I just have to decide what to apply my Best Buy $5 rewards zone coupon to -- BofB was looking promising at $37.49 less the coupon :)!

Anyone heard of what kind of Blu Ray deals we'll see after Jan 09?...What's significant about 1/9?

ck

Are the two packs mentioned above in Best Buy and Sams available from Costco also. I am not a member of Sams and I would like to get it cheaper than Best Buy. I am interested in the Shooter/Italian Job combo.

What's significant about 1/9?

I think he meant releases after the month of January 2009, not January 9th.

Merry Xmas to all!

No. Different people get diferent things.

No. Different people get diferent things.
The main Gold Box items are the same for everyone (the top left item and the rotating deals in the upper right). But all the stuff that appears on the bottom of the page is different for everyone and is based on their previous purchasing profile.

bummer. Futureshop does not ship outside of Canada. Someone should set up a 'relay station' so we can order stuff to a Canadian address that forwards our stuff to the U.S.! lol

From Dusk Till Dawn and Sin City are up for preorder @ Amazon.ca for $13 each.

I wish we had deals that were worth it. 99% of the time the Amazon.com prices destroy any thing up here in Canada. Especially with our dollar down again. Prices here have risen between 20-40% on BD media over the past month or two. I am a heavy collector but I stopped buying completely recently. I will probably drop $200 - $300 in the stores on the 26th and maybe preorder some on line if I find a deal. Then that will be it until the dollar turns around again. I'm thinking by the end of Feb we will be back in the 90-95 cent range.

From the feed back I am getting in the local stores in my area, Blu Ray is not flying off the shelves. I see a lot of people looking, but I have rarely seen anyone pick up a title and head to the cashier.
We'll see I guess.

I meant hot sales for players, not media. Over the past month there have been lots of deals on players, and when the deals are on, the players are flying off the shelves. Deals on media have been sparce at best. That is why the low sales for media this season.

I agree.
Player deals have been pretty good. But as good as they are, they are going to have to drop even more for mass adaption. Especially in this economy.
Movies in my opinion have even farther to go. I think we need to see $15 - $20 for normal pricing before we'll see the public buy into the format.

Has anyone seen any good deals on Death Race or Traitor?

Holy Cow!

Amazon currently has Band of Brothers blu for $37.49 and Mad Men for $24.99
I couldn't resist pulling the trigger. What a good deal on BoB!!

"just let your soooooul glo"

Got a peek at next Sunday's Best Buy insert. They will have some two-packs for sale at a decent price if you're interested in both movies:

For $22.99 (equal to $11.50 for each movie):

Next and Face/Off
We Were Soldiers and Payback
Shooter and The Italian Job

Coming to America and Trading Places

For $26.99 (equal to $13.50 for each movie):

Drillbit Taylor and Norbit
Cloverfield and Sleepy Hollow
Tomb Raider and The Ruins
Nacho Libre and The Spiderwick Chronicles

I didn't spot any great deals on recent/new releases.

The $22.99 at Fry's tommorrow only for $19.99.

For those that shop at Amazon.ca, they're having a boxing day sale which means cheap blu-rays. 82 to be exact (http://www.amazon.ca/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&plgroup=2&docId=1000322851). The list of available movies didn't do anything for me, but you might find something you like.

"Dirty Harry Collection" & "Ultimate Matrix Collection" for $65 each.
"Austin Powers Trilogy" for $37.
"Pushing Daisies S1" and "Terminator:TSCC S1" for $20 each.
"How The West Was Won" and "JFK" for $15 each, plus more.

Amazon seems to have an up to 50% off of about 182 titles.

Didn't do anything for me.

It appears to me that most of the sales we're seeing right now are targeted at new Blu-ray owners and people who got a blu-ray player as a Christmas gift. I already own (7) or have seen (3) everything on that list.

Brandon

Didn't last years crazy Blu-Ray sales hit the first week of the new year or so? If what we are seeing now is all the studios & e-tailers have got for specials, I will be spending my money on other things or not at all.

It has been pretty much a mess of a holiday sales wise.
They will be bleeding red - all of them.

Just imagine what would have happen if they had slash prices to <$15 & open up their library vault wider.

Their sales would have increased marginally ... since blu-ray sales volumes are not significant when compared to dvd sales and sales of other items. And they would have lost the extra margin on blu-ray sales (primarily new releases) that people would just buy anyways (e.g., Dark Knight).

Why is it every time I come to this thread all I hear is complaints about the pricing of blu-rays? If they are too expensive, don't buy them. Wait till prices come down. If you want to engage in corporate pricing strategy then go work in the head office of a large retailer or one of the studios.

Can we stick to legitimate deals please.

On that note, for Canadians, amazon.ca had matched most of the prices offered by the Canadian bestbuy website and futureshop ... as long as you are not in a hurry. They will backorder items.

Now this was a lot of help.:D

If only I knew what the hell I did with those Paramount coupons, I'd probably pick up KFP. I might still pick up How the West Was Won (even though I could have got it for less from the Columbiahouse BOGO sales in the past), are these prices in store too?

Wow...I missed this blu ray sale on Planet Earth at Discovery. I'm holding off. I wonder when they will offer it again at this price? The $5.00 off still works though.

Amazon UK has a good price on theAttenborough version (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Planet-Earth-Complete-BBC-Blu-ray/dp/B000SKNIWE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1230405509&sr=1-1). It currently comes to a little over $30 after VAT is removed, and should be less than $40 if it's the only item you buy to be shipped via Air Mail.

yes 2 disk versions.

it came up automatically for me.. appeared at the bottom of the page where i selected my payment. it just said "you have a $10 promotional..." and then when i got to the submit order screen it showed the promo as "10off40".

Skippyrulz:

Do you reside in the US? I ask because I ordered three BR discs with a collective price over $40 USD, and the order system would not accept the "10off40" promo code. I wonder if a delivery address in the US has something to do with it? Further, because I live in the US, I don't qualify for free shipping either. The deal on the set of discs themselves (Firefly series plus Kill Bill vol 1 & 2) is a steal until shipping is applied ($12). It's still a good deal even with shipping but there is some way to apply the promo code it would become a great deal...

Eric

Great deal even when shipping to US is taken into account...

Last year (actually, the beginning of this year) HD DVD was still in the picture. Not to say there won't be specials, just that they probably won't be priced like they were during the war.

If you want to engage in corporate pricing strategy then go work in the head office of a large retailer or one of the studios...

Some of the complaints come from the early adopters who long for those days when, each week, you could buy discs (by the handfuls) priced from $10-$15.
This holiday season has seen a large influx of new BD users who have no such recollection (and no collection).
I have everything (currently available) I want from their catalogs. I can appease my "jones" by renting (and in the process, weed-out) the new releases. I'll then wait for my price. Those new users, who have nothing to watch, will need to exercise restraint, and it's difficult to show such restraint when you have a new toy, but can't play with it.
Right now, I'm balking at "Wall-E" (something I intend to buy) for $18.

Oh yeah, "Wall-E" at Fry's for $18.

Correction about Kill Bill Vol1 and 2: It's a good deal, not a great deal. I ran the order through just prior to placing it to see the shipping charge and it was just over $10 via slowest method. Again, not outragious but a bit high given the mass of the package. A stealth import duy on top of the true shipping cost?

The interesting thing is that when I added the multi-disc Firefly movies to this order, the total only increased a bit more than $1 ($11.92). This is my current order and overall, I can't complain about that.

Last year (actually, the beginning of this year) HD DVD was still in the picture. Not to say there won't be specials, just that they probably won't be priced like they were during the war.





Some of the complaints come from the early adopters who long for those days when, each week, you could buy discs (by the handfuls) priced from $10-$15.
This holiday season has seen a large influx of new BD users who have no such recollection (and no collection).

An astute observation: I'm one of those new BR adopters, and I haven't shown as much restraint as I should since receiving my BR player a few weeks ago. However, I've been able to keep every disc (approximately 20 to date) below $14 delivered until five minutes ago with my Firefly-Kill Bill Vol1&2 order (unless one measures price by disc count (5 total) which would make the average just under $11 each...):D

Wow Ricwhite, those images look pretty good to me! This is the series narrated by Attenborough correct? If yes, I've caught snippets of it in various AV stores for BR demo and I recall the video not only looking spectacular, but the film actually appearing to be an excellent documentary in its own right.

Eric

Skippyrulz:

Do you reside in the US? I ask because I ordered three BR discs with a collective price over $40 USD, and the order system would not accept the "10off40" promo code. I wonder if a delivery address in the US has something to do with it? Further, because I live in the US, I don't qualify for free shipping either. The deal on the set of discs themselves (Firefly series plus Kill Bill vol 1 & 2) is a steal until shipping is applied ($12). It's still a good deal even with shipping but there is some way to apply the promo code it would become a great deal...

Eric

i am in the us. i don't know what to tell you though. i noticed it yesterday, when i was thinking about buying sin city and FDTD. i forgot that i couldn't get free SS shipping in the US, but added another disc to the order, hoping to hit the FSSS limit.

when i got to the payment type screen, at the bottom, above where you would enter your GC/promotional code, it said "You have CDN$ 10.00 in gift certificates or promotional credit available for use toward this purchase. Would you like to apply it?". just tried it again and it says the same thing. then when i get to the final screen it says "Visa10off40 -USD 8.54". so maybe try that.

Thanks for the advise. Amazon.ca customer service took care of me. A good deal just turned into a great deal. I think I'm going to grab some more titles! Though I'm heavy into AV, I've been so tied up with work over the past couple of years that I've missed a lot of good, non-current movies so a lot of these titles that appear to be discounted relative to new ones will be new to me. Hopefully I don't go broke in the process...:D

Eric

Didn't last years crazy Blu-Ray sales hit the first week of the new year or so? If what we are seeing now is all the studios & e-tailers have got for specials, I will be spending my money on other things or not at all.

I am pretty sure last year at this time HD-DVD and Blu Ray were still in a heated format war... thus the sales. ;)

Planet Earth -- Upconverted DVD? No. Afraid not. Yes, the PQ is somewhat inconsistent -- ranging from a low of about 3/5 to as high as a 5/5. I give an average of 4/5 -- which is above average for a BD movie. Here are some sample shots. Remember that these are photographs of a 106" screen and an LCD projector. The actual image is better than what these shots depict.

Okay, I don't normally mind a little OT conversation, but come on......26 huge pics in a pricing thread? That's beyond ridiculous.

That is sort of what I was thinking... :(

though the pics were nice...that's not what this thread is about. Next time please direct member's to the review thread with a link. Thanks

Anyone seen any good deals on Eagle Eye? Loved it at the theater. Tempted to pull the trigger on this at Amazon for $26.
I unusually won't spend this kind of money on a movie but...

Sorry.

Here's the link to the Planet Earth screenshots. If you can find a deal on this set, it's well worth it.

Their sales would have increased marginally ... since blu-ray sales volumes are not significant when compared to dvd sales and sales of other items. And they would have lost the extra margin on blu-ray sales (primarily new releases) that people would just buy anyways (e.g., Dark Knight).

Why is it every time I come to this thread all I hear is complaints about the pricing of blu-rays? If they are too expensive, don't buy them. Wait till prices come down. If you want to engage in corporate pricing strategy then go work in the head office of a large retailer or one of the studios.


& this is why BD will either be a very minute niche product or die altogether.

ps = IronMan, PE & TDK all were priced @ MSRP or above @ my local CC still. Nicely done smart business guys. Down the tubes u go.

Picked up a bunch of titles at Wal-Mart for $10/ea. They had all 3 Rambos, Terminator 2, Total Recall, Stargate, Crash, Casino, Reservoir Dogs, and Young Guns, Saw and Saw II. I picked up all except the Rambo and Saw films. Just can't resist any BD titles for $10 even each. This was in the Plainfield, IL Wal-Mart off of Rt 59. Just dove back into Blu Ray after selling my collection 6 mos ago to pay off some debt, needed to build up my collection again :-)

Thanks OP for posting the Firefly bluray deal. The 10off40 deal may only work with a new account. Also, for those interested, the Sunshine blu-ray at amazon.ca is only CDN$ 14.95.

Also noticed that Sin City on Blu-Ray is 12.95 on the amazon.ca site. So US blu-ray players (particularly a ps3) will have no problem playing this?

That is correct Jason. All Canadian discs are also region 1 just like the US.

suffolk,
Best Buy had Eagle Eye for $26. I suspect that isn't the lowest price locally but you have to pay tax which may be offset by potential shipping costs.

Great deal even when shipping to US is taken into account...


Also the $9.95 is really only $8.08 because of the strength of the Greenback. On the flip side, I think us Canadians have pretty much stopped ordering anything from the U.S.

Those prices listed are correct, I picked up Wall-E on Friday for $17.99, it's the 2-disc version and not the 3-disc (which is still $35). They never really put accurate prices on their website, always go in-store.

Pssst! The Dark Knight at Amazon BD+Digital copy for $21.99. I think I'm in unless someone else has it for less???


It's $22 at Target along with Wanted.

I wish we had a Fry's where I am, they really do seem to blow the bottom out on disc prices every couple of weeks.

On the plus side, it looks like Amazon has responded to at least a few prices from Target and BB.

A friend of mine said he picked up Rambo 1 - 3 at Amazon for $15.
.

I also purchased the triology last month at the $15.00 price, plus free shipping!

If I purchase Kill Bill from Amazon.ca can I still get the MIR if I live in the US?

Yeah, I saw that Wall-E for $35 and shook my head. I didn't see the 2-disc version. They might be sold out. Part of me would rather have The Panda anyway although Wall-E is a better movie.

BTW, Sleeping Beauty is the 3-disc. It says 2-disc set, but it includes the bonus SD DVD. That's way better than paying $19+shipping on E-bay for a used copy where someone kept the SD DVD for themselves. :rolleyes:

a) target $22.
b) which also is a best buy price match then.
c) which then if u use your reward zone points card comes to the equivalent of $0.44.
d) so basically its like getting it at best buy for $21.56.
e) that beats amazon.

I think all Walmart stores have those titles at $10 now.
Not yet.
There are 3 Walmart's in my area in a 30 mile radius
2 of them has those titles at $10 and the other has them at $14.99

Same titles but different prices at different Walmart locations.:confused:

OK well I cancelled my Firefly order and reordered Firefly with Into the Wild, then asked amazon.ca CS about the promo and they applied it to mine as well. Cool. :cool:

Don't forget your local pawn shops. I was able to buy a couple of big-name BR titles in mint condition for $12 each. Hope this helps.

Thanks to this thread I just grabbed Kill Bill 1 & 2 and a pre-order of Sin City from Amazon.ca - I've heard good things about the Kill Bill movies and I'm hoping Sin City delivers as well.

Monsters Ball, Weeds Season 1 and 2 at Best Buy for $12.99. I'll be picking up my copies in about an hour :)

There are also a few other $12.99 deals (titles that really don't interest me though).

Can you get the mask version of TDK Blu-Ray at Target for $21.99 or just the regular version? I remember recently getting the mask version of Iron Man Blu-Ray there during a recent sell (price the same as normal).

I hope fry open a store in Puerto Rico...wait then they will do like all the others....put 10-25% higher...& no such specials for us....

Nice prices on Eastern Promises and Wall E at Fry's :eek:

Have you ordered from Amazon.ca before? I tried to place another order with the coupon and got the same error. Im thinking its because the coupon is only for new customers.

The reason the code does not work (just figured this out) is that you must use a new email address. You cannot sign in using your current account. I used a different email address with all the same information and used the code above and got $10 off.

I picked up:
FireFly
Sin City (i know the JPN is supposedly better but at $11US I'll take the slightly DNR'ed version)
Into the Wild

All are sold out or preorders and we have to pay international shipping and I will group them as one order so at the very earliest I won't get it until the end of January. However, the total cost to me was US$51. That's cheaper than just buying Firefly in the US on Amazon at 57.99 plus two free movies (one that is not even available in the US).

Thanks everyone for the heads up.

I get the same coupon error by logging into amazon.ca with an order using my amazon.com ID. Shipping is 9.97CDN!!

edit: ok, I see you have to create a new account with a new e-mail address to get the coupon.

Doesn't matter what kind of credit card it is, just the bank that handles it. Lots of credit cards charge a fee for doing the foreign currency conversion (which is complete BS, it's just a way for them to make more money). To know if your card does it or not, you'll have to refer to your card_member_agreement or call them and ask them.

Really though???... 1% is going to kill the deal (5 cents -> possibly 50 cents for the whole order)? :rolleyes:.

Just placed an order for KB1&2, SinCity, and Firefly for C$68.75 (includes C$15.95 shipping and the C$10 discount.) That would be about US$57.30 at a 1.2:1 exchange rate, however, that doesn't include currency fees. So, given the emailed invoice doesn't show USD (only CD), how do you conclude $37 USD shipped?

PS. Oh, is the currency fee only on the order of 1%? If so, then I see what you're saying!

YES, the card company or bank issues the fee... just like I said. ...and just like I said, it does NOT matter what kind of card it is IE: Mastercard or Visa. It just demends on the bank that owns the card, wether they charge the fee or not. "Card company" and "bank" are the same thing anymore. Rarely does the bank not have a "vested interest" in the company that handles the card. By disagreeing with a statement that was offered to help you, you are only splitting hairs to say the same damn thing :rolleyes:.

The shipping fees are part of the the price of the discs. I just bought Kill Bill 1 & 2, Dusk Till Dawn, and Sin City earlier today and they averaged about $11.6x each including all fees and shipping. That is an incredible deal for 4 Disney associated movies. They may be that price later next year in the USA, but not before then. If that price comes out to be "deal killer", you probably shouldn't be buying in the first place.

I love this thread... I just returned my unopened Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 that I bought at Costco last week for $56 and ordered them on Amazon.ca WITH the FireFly complete series BR for $46 total, including expedited shipping :D

Where are you guys seeing the Firefly Complete BR series on the Amazon.ca site???
All I have been able to find there is the complete series in SD, and the complete FIRST SEASON on BR. :confused:

Do you think the MinuteMaid rebate would work with Amazon? The fine print on the rebate form states: "Store receipts must emanate from same state as consumer address."

Where are you guys seeing the Firefly Complete BR series on the Amazon.ca site???
All I have been able to find there is the complete series in SD, and the complete FIRST SEASON on BR. :confused:

The first season is the only season (not even one "complete" season - only 14 episodes), so it is the complete series. Serenity was the follow up movie after the series was cancelled. It ties up many loose ends.

Well that solves that mystery then. I've never seen any of the episodes before. Thanks :).

Nah, I think I'll go watch a Blu-ray movie on my Oppo BDP-83 :cool:.

Oh now thats really cold.:D

Ya, maybe a little below the belt on that one. :o:):o

Just placed an order for KB1&2, SinCity, and Firefly for C$68.75 (includes C$15.95 shipping and the C$10 discount.) That would be about US$57.30 at a 1.2:1 exchange rate, however, that doesn't include currency fees. So, given the emailed invoice doesn't show USD (only CD), how do you conclude $37 USD shipped?

PS. Oh, is the currency fee only on the order of 1%? If so, then I see what you're saying!



Nice, I paid $4 more for those two just over a week ago.

Well Firefly is OOS and Sin City is a preorder, so it placed my order in CAD. I simply plugged the numbers into a currency converter to get a rough estimate.

I guess my next question is, how am I going to get charged for the conversion then? Is Amazon.ca going to charge my card in USD when they ship, or is my bank (I used a debit card) going to be charged in CAD and have to convert it?

Err on second thought, Im gonna change the order over to my Paypal card. Simply because if they do charge it in CAD, I know I wont have any problems with it since I've used paypal with other currencies before.

You will be charged in CDN$, since that is the currency of the country where the business is located. Your debit/credit card statement will show the conversion using their most convenient exchange rate (i.e. the one that sucks most for you), plus usually a currency conversion fee of about 1% or a few dollars, depending on the Card Holder agreement terms and conditions.

You never bought stuff from overseas before using a CC? I get stuff from all over the dang planet (via on-line purchases or in-person ;) ), so I'm just used to seeing all this I guess.

Make sure you understand what you're going to receive when ordering from Canada. Several years ago I ordered back to the future on DVD with a similar deal. Buy from amazon.ca in Canadian $$ and save US $$. Seemed like a great deal, and the discs were known to be idential to the US version. When it arrived the packaging was not the US packaging. It had both english and french writing on the outside of the box. Back to the Future / Retour Vers Le Futur. That purchase stings everytime I see the box.

I think its pretty much a given whenever you order something from Canada its gonna have english and french on the packaging.

Seriously, if its all the same product, what does a little french on the package matter?

Into the Wild [Blu-ray] : Out-of-stock - $14.95

I think its pretty much a given whenever you order something from Canada its gonna have english and french on the packaging.

Seriously, if its all the same product, what does a little french on the package matter?

It doesn't all have french writing on it. I ordered several Blu-rays from inetvideo a while ago and none of them had french on the cases.

If you look at Amazon.ca's listings, they sometimes have seperate listings for the english and french versions of the movie, and then you can order which one you want. So who knows if any will or will not have french writing on it.

I agree with your statement though. It's the same content on the discs. Who cares about the cover.

FYI Kill Bill 1+2 both had french text on them in addition to the English and a reference to the canadian home video rating on the copies I bought from InetVideo.

who cares what is on the dvd cover english french or whatever other language. when you put it in your bluray player and select english it plays english. i just recieved sin city and fdtd from amazon ca and both have french an d english writing on the cover . put the disc in my bluray player and select english and both are fantastic sound and picture quality.

So they are pretty nice then :)?
Do they both have dts-hd/ma soundtracks?

You can always hit the covers thread for a replacement.

AFAIK, if a product is sold in Canada for distribution across the country, it is required to have both official languages on it (product name and whatever the legally required labeling is like ratings, food ingredients, etc), unless it is a book or obviously language-centric product. If it can be purchased with just English or just French, then the distribution must be limited to specific parts of the country - the Anglo stuff outside of Quebec and the Franco stuff to just Quebec. At least I think that's how it works.

The inetvideo stuff was because they play a little fast-and-loose with where they obtain product and how it is distributed to the US and Canada. They seem to mix US and Canadian stock items quite freely.

IMHO, AFAIK,

^BTW, I got...
Kill Bill 1
Kill Bill 2
Sin City
Dusk Till Dawn

...all for $10.65 each in US dollars shipped to the USA. Awesome deal!:D

Did you got charge shipping for this? It said I didn't qualify for free shipping cause they were shipping to USA.

Did you got charge shipping for this? It said I didn't qualify for free shipping cause they were shipping to USA.

That includes charges for shipping, but I was also able to take advantage of the 10off40 coupon revealed earlier in this thread.

You can always ask the people in the Custom Blu Ray Covers thread to scan in a copy of the english only version, or just print out the ones they have already created. There's some pretty cool KB1&2 covers by HD Joe in there.

I don't have the Amazon copies but i do have the ones from my local walmart here, and on the cover it just says (Tuer Bill Volume 1) and (Tuer Bill Volume 2) in tiny black print underneath the title, but the spine and the back all have french as well.

The audio on them both is English 5.1 Uncompressed, 5.1 Dolby Digital.


Thanks to this thread I did run off to amazon.ca and order the Firefly and 2 bond boxed sets! Woot! They're all on backorder but for those prices I can wait.

I think its pretty much a given whenever you order something from Canada its gonna have english and french on the packaging.

Seriously, if its all the same product, what does a little french on the package matter?

I got my sin city and dusk till dawn a week ago from amazon.ca yes there is french on the cover but it is in small print. Very small print i didn't even notice it at first. For $12.95 i don't care about a little french on the cover.

Coolicious guys - just got Dark Knight & Sin City from amazon.ca for $17.61 each (averaged) - well - that's at today's currency rate for CD to US$ - http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/rates/converter.html

Sounds like you were on Amazon.com and not on Amazon.ca... ?

Have you ordered from Amazon.ca before? I tried to place another order with the coupon and got the same error. Im thinking its because the coupon is only for new customers.

I have not ordered anything from amazon.ca before. I think I will try creating a new account as some others have mentioned.

I have not ordered anything from amazon.ca before. I think I will try creating a new account as some others have mentioned.

I didn't create a new account - I logged in w/my normal US account. Only thing I couldn't do was use Discover card to pay. Otherwise i got the BD's at the CDN $ and used the 'coupon' to get the $10 CDN off my order (basically free shipping).

Do you have to use a Visa to get the discount?

I used my mastercard along with a new acct to get the $10 off. If it helps any I put the code in first(MAPNEWNCSAVE) before I put in my card number. on check out it did say something like Visa10off40 or something, even though I used mastercard.

Do you have to use a Visa to get the discount?

They take MC or VISA. The code isn't card specific, i used it at the final page to submit my order - I put the code in and it updated my total.

Dang! I just can not seem to get this discount. I cleared the cookies, registered as a new user with a new email ..... but same error again. :confused:

Actually, some disks are different. For example, I rented a SD-DVD of "The Island" in Toronto from Blockbuster and it had French in Dolby Digital 5.1 and English in only Dolby Pro-Logic. WTF.

Most of the Canadian discussion the past few days is of Amazon.ca which DOES ship to the USA.

+1, combined with the fact that the .ca prices have proven to be notably lower than the US equivalents in many cases. Thus, I think it is very relevant to this thread.

Dumb question: I have two sets of orders in with Amazon.ca with three discs (or disc sets) in each. I was able to leverage the 10off40 discount in both cases. Shipping is ~$12 for one and ~$14 for the other.

Should I attempt to combine both orders into one for shipping to hopefully drop the aggregate rate? Some of the discs are OOS but I don't mind waiting for a single shipment. Any risk of reversing the discount?

Future Shop apparrently doesn't though. I tried ordering something from there and it wouldn't because I lived in the US.

checked out amazon.ca boxing day sales. doesn't seem like much going on for BD.

I passed because of budgetary reasons... but I noticed today that Band of Brothers Blu ray was back up to $50+ on Amazon. I swear I saw that the sale it was on last week was running through 1/4 or something like that. That just seemed odd to me to go up before the sale it was part of ended.

The price that it is at RIGHT NOW is the sale price. The lower price that you saw was a result of Amazon price matching the sale at Best Buy.

Nah, I think I'll go watch a Blu-ray movie on my Oppo BDP-83 :cool:.

You tease. :rolleyes:

Has anyone seen specials for the new year from Fry's or Amazon or J&R or others yet. Haven't seen BOGO sale for a while.
Thanks to posters on deals thru Amazon Canada 9Kill Bill 1 & 2 and James Bond 1 & 2 - all for $73 US including shipping after the $10 off $40 using the same account) and amazon UK for Planet Earth BBC version for (25.23 pounds or about $38 shipped).
Excellent forum for deals and news on Blu-ray hardware & software.

Maybe it's because there's so little in the way of true deals out there at the moment. A dollar or two off isn't a real deal, though obviously helpful. I saw a guy on CNN.com who said it'll be next week before we start seeing deals in all sorts of merchandise. Right now, stores are counting on people having gift cards burning holes in their pockets. They figure people will spend those without having to be motivated by big markdowns. Personally, I'm saving my Best Buy and Amazon gift cards until I see some better deals. I bought Band of Brothers at the $37.49 price, but that's all this Christmas. Patience will pay off.

Patience will pay off.

Sin City [Blu-ray]

For $11 each on average. Good deal.

Amazon has now price matched Best Buy on Monsters Ball (Blu-Ray) for $12.99

Raines8416 posted the amazon.ca deals on slickdeals. Hurry up and order if you haven't already. Usually once something gets posted there it doesn't last long. That's why I sometimes post deals here that I find there, but never vice versa.

edit: OK actually the code expires on the 31st so you should be alright till then but who knows if the prices will last.

Such odd shipping costs, my friend just ordered and his shipping was $2 cheaper...odd.
Nice deals on Kill Bill thanks for the heads up!!!

Amazon UK has a good price on theAttenborough version (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Planet-Earth-Complete-BBC-Blu-ray/dp/B000SKNIWE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1230405509&sr=1-1). It currently comes to a little over $30 after VAT is removed, and should be less than $40 if it's the only item you buy to be shipped via Air Mail.

Thanks for the heads up on this. I've been hoping Amazon.com would drop the price on the US version but I went with your advise and got the UK version shipped for $37. Not bad.

Wonder if Amazon US will pricematch Amazon UK? :)


gnj1958,
You sure that $37 wasn't euro's??

suffolk,
Best Buy had Eagle Eye for $26. I suspect that isn't the lowest price locally but you have to pay tax which may be offset by potential shipping costs.



Yup, but I picked up Eagle Eye and Band of Brothers at Amazon. :)

Thanks Shane,

Crank - $12.99 best buy

Picked one up today

Yes they were out of Crank and Total Recal for $12.99 when I stopped in yesterday.
The sale goes till the end of January. I am not worried about getting a rain check... yet.

You would think Amazon would do a bit better than simply price match BB. I am usually within a mile of my local BB every day. It is a lot easier to simply go into the store and pick it up than deal with the risks involved with mail order.

Total Recall has been regularly priced for $10 at Walmart for weeks. I saw it and about seven other $10 BDs at Walmart again last night.

You gotta be kiddin me. I can order from Amazon and never have to leave my home. Pay the same or even less 99.9% of the time, never have to use my car, gas, time, pay sales tax, or deal with the crappy_ass Worst Buy customer service.
There are almost NO risks involved with ordering discs off the net. I have purchased more than 2000 discs off the net and had shipping issues like maybe 5 times. That's a 99.750% success rate.
Thank god for the internet, or I wouldn't be able to afford everything I have to support this hobby... my amps, receivers, speakers, projector, all my players, HT furniture, ect,ect,ect...
If I had to go to local stores to buy all that stuff, it literally would have cost 3 times more, and if that were the case, I'd be sitting in an empty room.
Almost everytime I do drive by Best Buy, the parking lot is full. I guess I just don't get it.

It is called instant gratification, Smarty-pants. Some folks just want to have it now rather than later and are aware that will cost them a little more but are ok with it.

Now we all have had crappy customer service experiences but part of why crappy customer experience is more prevalent is that we the consumer want more for less. One consequence is the business makes less money which ultimately trickles down to lower pay for employees. Under valued employees are less likely to kiss our butts when we grace them with our presence.

Now my devils-advocate piece has been shared what I mentioned does not give business/employees a get out of jail free card. Even if undervalued the employees shouldn't mistreat customers.

Another reason folks still go to stores and dealers is that they want human interaction and expect the salesman to have knowledge with skills to help the customer understand the technobabble. Not everyone is willing or capable of reading sources such as these forums, it can be overwhelming and difficult to discern fact from conjecture and opinion.

Let us get on with deals, be they online or BnM

No, I am NOT kidding you...
Well, first let me say that almost every piece of my theater was bought on-line. Including a sizable portion of my movies.
That being said, I do buy some things for my home theater locally.
Yes there are risks and in my opinion, inconveniences that go along with on-line shopping.
Scenario: If I can get a movie at my local B&M store for only a buck or two more than on-line pricing... after tax, I am going to do just that. With that, I get instant gratification of having the movie that evening. Plus, I don’t have to worry about returning a defective item.
If nothing else, it pumps money into my local economy.

Even though I'm a Prime member with Amazon, I get most of my discs at Best Buy. Typically, they'll match Amazon for me, I like the reward points and I drive right by it almost every day. Besides, I like browsing the Magnolia area while I'm there.

Batman Begins Gift Set is currently $18.99 at tower.com (http://www.tower.com/batman-begins-limited-edition-gift-set-christian-bale-blu-ray/wapi/112090452).

The site has other somewhat decent deals, like Wanted for $20.99 and Dodgeball for $18.99.

in case anyone cares weinstein titles 1408 & the mist,also elf/Dark city came with slightly different cover art, and alliance as distributer, canada sales only in fine print..no french type, but in the case of mist artwork like the dvd release..also with the amazon.ca kill bills when you get these do they come with the $10 off coupon for owners of the dvd.if they do and its not restricted to us sales, you are talking 1$ for upgrade.

someone got Best Buy to price match Amazon!! lol also in my area sales tax 10.5 %

They take MC or VISA. The code isn't card specific, i used it at the final page to submit my order - I put the code in and it updated my total.

Agreed. Used code MAPNEWNCSAVE and paid via Amex using an existing Amazon acct. Works fine for order >$CDN 40. Nice deals on a few titles, especially with the $10 discount and the 0.82 exchange rate (more than enough to offset the shipping charges).

Some if not all OT deleted. If we continue to get more report posts and off topic posts, the easiest action is to lock the thread. No one wants that.

Please remember that AVS IS NOT A DEALS/WHERE TO BUY forum. The owners have been nice enough to provide a place (this thread) for a discussion on deals/where to buy. The expectation is the membership is adult enough to manage it on their own with little to no moderation attention. If it becomes a problem, then it could be closed on a temporary basis or permanently.

I should point out that we may take another action. We have the option of banning ppl from posting within a given thread. That could be the best way of handling those that want to use this thread to argue and cause problems.

this in no way should be a debate thread. Pretty simple...here's a deal at X store. Shouldn't be much more posted here than that.

Inetvideo has free shipping on orders over $49 with some BD for $9.99.:D

I prefer if you don,t like my post just delete don't edit.

Finally I was able to order from Amazon.ca with the coupon. Got Top Gun, Sin City and FDTD for a total of $47.81 (shipping was a whopping $14.96). So it will be total USD $39.29, $13.10 per movie.

Off topic posts removed.

FYI Amazon just shipped my order for the temporarily out of stock Narnia two pack(Chronicles and Caspian on blu-ray). Its still listed at $31.99 but I wouldn't be suprised if the price went back up after it goes back in stock.

In case you are interested I just got back from Target (Michigan) and picked Patton for $19.99 and Wanted for $22.

Both titles had a "Temporary Sale" sign.

Well think I will see you all around,time to check out some other forums out for a while to find my deals seems the mods dont want my free time spent here.So remember not to say hi or by just the price.From now on I promise I will not post any deals here just browse.

Awe c'mon, don't be like that. Don't let an incident ruin the whole experience. Doesn't matter right or wrong, like I always say, just let it roll off your back and move on. The mods are just trying to do their job (that they do for free btw).
Stick around and let's talk deals ;).

I just ordered Austin Powers for $35.99 shipped from Tower if anyone is still interested. They have some other decent deals depending on the title right now, as well.

That's a good deal if you only are interested in the movies since it says "2 discs" when each BD flick comes with 2 discs for each movie. So I'm "guessing" this is a stripped down set of just the movies. I'm tempted to pull the trigger on them too but I have not seen the second one so I'm not sure how good it is!

I have this set and it was each Narnia movie in its own box with extra features discs included like if you had bought each separately. I believe the boxes were just shrink wrapped together. I got lucky with these on the launch day and am still pleased with the deal. Enjoy

Just got back from Target and they had quite a few good titles for $22 that were the "other" titles not listed in the ad. Hellboy II, Dark Knight, Wanted, Mamma Mia, et al. Also, not sure if this is universal, but had a $10 instant off coupon attached to Eagle Eye good towards Godfather, Cloverfield, Tropic Thunder among others. Was a mamufacturers coupon so should be good most places. Was able to get Tropic Thunder for $20.

Ok, you just rattled off a bunch of prices that were higher than the ones I posted. :confused:
Tower.com also offers free shipping with I think the same requirement as Amazon, and if I remember correctly, the last time I ordered from them I was not charged tax.
Too each their own though. I usually go whereever the prices are best for me.
:)

Wow, I am glad I picked up Band of Brothers for $37.
It is now $54 at Amazon.

My apologies - I just checked out Tower's site for I thought they charged tax to certain states but I could not locate that information!

Me too. Watched the whole thing over two nights. Great show and a stellar presentation. Band of Brothers for $37 and Planet Earth for $40 things have been good the last week. Now if I could just find the Die Hard set for around $40 I'll be even happier.

Amazon.co.uk has a B2G1 sale with some pretty good titles in it. Not sure which ones are region free though

Wish we would get this type of selection from Amazon here in the US. There are actually a few decent deals to.
Anyone have any experience dealing with Amazon UK?
