I don't know guys, I don't get why a trilogy costs so much. This just isn't a deal to me. With tax it still ends up almost $23 per movie. Usually the more of something you buy, the better a discount you should get. I try to get movies around $15 each. So to buy 3 of them at $23 in a package I just don't see how it's a great deal. And $20 more at Amazon, that's rediculous! $29 each?? Comparing it to that means nothing to me...You must not know that there's a 4th disc with nothing but hours and hours of HD extras and footage.

OK I did forget about that. But still, it's one extra disc for 3 movies. Often an release will contain 2 discs, and it doesn't mean I want to pay $23 for it (nevermind $29!). This is one extra disc for 3 movies.

Granted I don't expect it to jump down to $45 as a pre-order. But I think the norm on Amazon, et al, should be about $60-65. Then by December I think I should be able to find it for $40-45. :D

Don't count on it!

I wonder do anyone else think, the sales of Blu-rays are very rare? IMHO, a sale is a disc $15 each or less. Maybe HD-DVD leaving the market was not a good thing for the average consumer....

I did. I bought it. $23 each is fair.

I don't know dude. It took the DVD original set, just all 3 packaged together, a long time to price drop. It's still $40 for the DVD set new.
I never knew their was 3 starship troopers movies until somebody here mention it a few days ago. Are the other 2 any good?I'm a total box set whore. But after reading reviews for #2 and seeing the trailer for #3 I cancelled my set.:o
I can use the $$ for Godfather now.

Like it was already said, the original SD trilogy was outrageously priced as well. With that one I waited about 6 months till I could get it cheaper. I think I got it for like $40 through the DDD 20% off sale I think. I will wait for this one too. I've got 'em on SD till the price is right. :)

I'm right there with ya.... Waiting that is. :rolleyes:
Maybe I'll rent them when they come out just to hold me over. It's not like I watch these movies more than once every few years in all reality.

I love 1 and 2... awesome, just awesome. I make sure to watch them at least once a year. GF 1 and 2 are in my top 20 of all time... love 'em. I can still wait though. For most thngs in life, I can be very impatient, but with this hobby, I've learned to be VERY patient. I've gotten some unbelivable deals on things when I wait till the price is right, and this method allows me to afford things I never could without "smart shopping". :)

yup got that from amazon in an email and jumped on getting the 3 Mission Impossible movies to take advantage of the B2G1 deal

also pre-ordered the 3 Mummy movies

Plus a little screw the early adopter.

I think the Spider-Man trilogy is probably $20-30 cheaper now then when it was released. Expect to see these much cheaper when the next run comes out.

This is probably a very stupid question:

When you purchase BD from Amazon in large quantities (30 at a time)...do they ship them together in one box? I'm just wondering if they would come trickling in separately.

Family Video has been kicking some serious arse lately.

Do they charge immediately on pre-orders? Very tempted to just order Godfather now, but I don't like being charged for it already.

For backordered discs you have the option of shipping separately or wait for all.

larry

Case in point: in the Best Buy circular this week, Batman Begins was priced at $24.99, and right next to it, the SD was priced at $4.99. To the average consumer, which do you think they'd go for?


Consider also that the SD is an old release and the BD is a new release of a catalog title. I do not buy SD releases with the single exception of TVonDVD.

Most older TVonDVD are not likely to be released on BD for a long time if ever. I watch them for the content, not the presentation as some are really retro with many scratches and other crude on the releases.

I sent them an email last p.m. asking that and called to confirm their answer this a.m. Since 6-16 they will charge your credit card at the time of purchase no matter how far in advance the prebook is.

I never knew their was 3 starship troopers movies until somebody here mention it a few days ago. Are the other 2 any good?

2 came out several years ago direct to DVD.

3 is a new release, but brings back Casper Van Dien, and Ed Neumeir (who wrote Robocop and Starship Troopers) is writing and directing this one. It looks like it will be pretty good.

2 is just a practical special FX show. A lot of effects similar to The Thing, but is otherwise pretty useless. I'm surprised they tacked in 3 at the last minute with the new movie. For a long time it was just Starship Troopers: Marauder. Maybe when they didn't get the theatrical release they were hoping for they decided to acknowledge the earlier sequel.

I have ordered from Family Video before. It was slow shipping but I did get my order and it was fine. Took about 2 weeks each time, if I recall correctly.

I had my Spider-Man trilogy release day, but it was a preorder.

VHS was an immensely superior technology back then too. For non AV afficionados and non-wealthy, the prices of a BR is way too high as it is. I for one cannot understand why FOX consistently charges more MSRP for titles when other studios can release for less. It sounds more like greed than anything else. And how can anyone argue against lower prices and defend the high prices charged to current titles? Just a thought.

I remember when Star Wars was 19.99, but ESB and ROTJ were 28.95 each on VHS at a department store with very low prices. When Top Gun came out it was the start of lower prices. As a new release it was going for $14.95.

So after 20+ years prices are virtually the same for a far superior technology and you're complaining? Technology is the only thing that gets cheaper, or at least comparably cheaper, over time.

Still I don't buy any BD for more than $20. $15 - $17 is a good deal on most titles, but there are some titles I'd only pay $10 -$15 for, but those are guilty pleasures; sub-B movies that won't get a lot of spins, like Chain Reaction. I waited on DVD, and I'll wait on BD.

I'd agree with you that Fox prices are too high, as will be Universal's new releases it seems, but I just end up waiting for when I can get them for $20 or less. The sales come, sometimes even at Target. I keep hoping studios will get the message not to let the street price go above $20 unless it's something really special. They'd sell a lot more, but maybe limited production has something to do with it at this stage. Maybe the pricier studios don't have as many lines available to them and they want to make the same amount of profit.

I pre ordered a video game, from family for low price, it never became in stock, long after release, had to cancel

I had good luck with Family Video back in the DVD days... haven't tried them in a few years.

Tower.com: Top Gun = $19.90 (http://www.tower.com/top-gun-tom-cruise-blu-ray/wapi/109141608). They claim it ships within 12 hours rather than preorder... (likewise for The Perfect Storm and I Know What You Did Last Summer)

Is that the best deal around? Amazon doesn't even have a preorder it seems.

DBZ - History of Trunks/Father of Goku is $19.61 (http://www.tower.com/dragon-ball-z-history-trunks-bardock-father-goku-sonny-strait-blu-ray/wapi/112143391), more than $2 less than Amazon. Transformers is $23.99 (http://www.tower.com/transformers-blu-ray/wapi/112199713), almost a buck cheaper than Amazon. Also Batman Begins is $15.86, Cloverfield is at $14.86, and The Fifth Element at $12.86. They have a bunch of others "On Sale" as well but I dunno how the prices are comparatively.

I sent them an email last p.m. asking that and called to confirm their answer this a.m. Since 6-16 they will charge your credit card at the time of purchase no matter how far in advance the prebook is.

I didn't even know if that was actually legal or not.

Actually, once they charge your card they are under legal obligation to provide you with the merchandise within a certain period of time (30 days I believe). It's in all those consumer protection laws.

Don't make me laugh (no offense)..., but businesses don't really care about those types of things, like consumer laws. If everyone I know including myself, who have been ripped off or cheated by my local Best Buy store were to file a lawsuit against them for each incident of "consumer law infractions", well... we'd all be rich I guess.:)

When I spoke to the lady at family video I asked her if once the authorization drops off if the charge doesn't go through do they then get another authorization. She said they just put the charge through at the time of the order and no other charges are submitted after that. Maybe they don't have people preordering more than 30 days in advance, I don't know. Their phone number is 888-332-6843 (I got their number when they replied to me in email) If anyone does call them and gets more information please post. I'd like to order from them but if they do charge at the time of order it would change whether I will or not.

Not only that, but there were two versions of the SD release. The one-disc and the two-disc. The two-disc is what was on the HD DVD and basically what's on the Blu-Ray. The one-disc is what's on sale I believe. So it's not really even the same product.

Note: Good deal especially on those Paramount titles but as usual the prices have been jacked up. Shinobi was $10.95 during release and the FOX titles that are listed on sale were priced at $19.99 few months ago. 3:10 to Yuma & War was available for $14.95. So order with care.

Assuming I own every single one of these movies on DVD, which ones would be worth the upgrade to blu-ray?

Most of them are an upgrade over the SD versions. Best bet is to take a look at the PQ and AQ tier threads to get an idea of the few that are not worth it. Personally, I am upgrading all of my favorites as I can. The audio difference is the biggest key for me, if it has a lossless track, then it will be a huge upgrade regardless of PQ, which will always at the bare minimum at least have better coloring than the SD version and 99 out of 100 will have a far superior PQ. My 2 cents.

Assuming I own every single one of these movies on DVD, which ones would be worth the upgrade to blu-ray?
I have only updated to Blu-ray from DVD for about half of the titles available. The movie has to be be one that I will want to watch again and again in full HD glory and the PQ has to be be a serious upgrade.

Fortunately for me most of my DVD purchases were more of the arthouse and foreign films that will take quite a long time to come to HDM.

Generally speaking, the Blu ray disc of a movie should be better (video and audio) than the DVD of a movie... but not all are the same degree better. Also, not all make the movie that much more enjoyable for the added price.

I liken this to back when CD was first coming out, and I had a lot of albums. There were some groups I really liked, so I upgraded to CDs when they came out. Other groups I was fine with the album. Also, some things I continued buying albums (in particular comedian albums) because it just wasn't more enjoyable for twice the price on CD.

With Blu ray (and with HD before that) some movies I will upgrade because they are that good to me... others I will upgrade because the picture quality is that much more impressive and makes a less enjoyable movie more enjoyable... others I will upgrade only when a super deal comes along. But for any new release, I plan on buying the Blu ray unless they are just really raking me over the coals with the price, in which case I will wait for a sale or a coupon.

It's Tower. There will be waiting involved....

Hey!!...

Tower has been extremely good to me, avg. std shipping less than 4 days...there I just jinx myself...:)

Didn't Top Gun have a lower price because it had the Pepsi commercial in the begining? --When the pilot had to roll inverted to pour the pepsi in the cup?

in stock means "in stock", you can see some are list as in stock, ships in 24 hours. Most are shown as usually ships in 2-5 days or whatever...

No thankfully its not. The synopsyis tells you everything you should want to know bout the film. Its a movie set in Australia, full of amazing cinematogrophy(should look especially good in 1080p). Excellent film with good acting all around. Pretty violent if I do say so. Looks like a steal for $14.99.

Of course that was a joke. When it's small, the picture on IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0421238/) looks kind of like David Spade.

I never heard of it before, but it sounds really good. "Rated R for strong grisly violence" - That's all I need to know.

The sunkin cheeks, flippy hair, quirky smile... does look like David Spade at a glance. :)

Borders began a new website recently, independent of amazon. They currently have a whopping 40%-Off coupon (BC4777) that you can use towards 2 items. I pre-ordered the Godfather Coppola Collection for $61.79 (they list original price at $102.99 even though amazon lists it as $124.99).

They also have Baby Mama for $24, Leatherheads for $24, Sweeney Todd for $24.59, Jerry Maguire and Rudy for $17.39 each, the Omen Collection for $75.59 (all after the discount, of course)...and as long as the order is over $25 there's free shipping! And their shipping is pretty quick once the package is sent.

For those like me still sitting on Borders gift cards, this is the best coupon code I've seen. They even have the Heroes sets available, Season 1 for $61.79 and Season 2 for $38.39!

The UPC listed is definitely the one for the Blu-ray edition.

Great, just ordered!

^^^

Also, the Godfather set is listed in the category, "DVD - Blu Ray & HDTV - Blu-Ray", so it's obviously the correct version.

Sometimes titles are difficult to find because most of their upcoming BD discs aren't included in the "Upcoming Releases" section in Blu-Ray. You need to search individually for them. Recent additions include Romancing the Stone & Jewel Of the Nile, Forgetting Sarah Marshall (though I'm waiting for the Judd Apatow 3-pack), Sweeney Todd, The Godfather set, Leatherheads, Adventures Of Robin Hood, Baby Mama, Risky Business...

They also have the Universal Action 3-Pack with U-571, End Of Days, Miami Vice (http://www.borders.com/online/store/TitleDetail?sku=025195046022) which will be $35.99 after the discount!

http://www.borders.com/online/store/TitleDetail?sku=097361386447

And, no -- you don't need to order 2 items. But you'll only qualify for free shipping if your total is greater than $25.



So what's the problem? All the prices with this discount beat amazon's regular prices which are 30% off. I clearly stated in the original post that the prices listed were all after the discount.


I' sure I and many others appreciate the information about the coupon and highlights of movie prices that beat Amazon (with the coupon). You obviously put some effort into providing the information. I know it's appreciated!!!

I almost cried at the pump last Friday. $76 to fill the tank...makes BR prices seem reasonable. ;) Just another reason to enjoy a the "theater experience" in the home. (Along with the couple that brought their toddler to Hellboy showing Saturday night...the kid should be in bed and the audience shouldn't have to endure a crying child-felt bad for the kid).

Oh well, I'll use the border discount wisely to help off-set higher gas prices. :D

thanks just preordered heroes season 2 for 40.89.

I agree about the child. Inexcuseable to bring him/her to that type of showing. I get to go "out" about once every few months. The rest of the time I am with my children, putting them to bed at a decent hour, and not letting them watch horror type movies beforehand.

As for the gas prices making everything else look cheaper. Ummm no, I disagree. Sometimes it does the opposite. "Should I buy that BR movie from Borders?... oh wait, I can't because gas costs me $300 a month." :D.

Thanks for the Borders coupon. Was a bear to get it to work but after deleting all the cookies and temp files from a previous browsing visit, the coupon worked (was previouly getting an "expired" message). Checkout was horribly slow and pages hung there too.

Another one I found that I was excited to get is the Judd Apatow Unrated Blu-Ray Collection (Knocked Up, 40 Year, & Sarah Marshall). For some reason it is incorrectly titled the Sarah Marshall Collection, but the UPC is correct and list of $82.99 is close to the advertised $89.99. After coupon before tax is $49.79.

^^^Thanks, I just ordered too. Free shipping and $4 tax. Good deal!

Woohoo! Thanks guys. Got the Godfather collection.

Is $61 best god father deal, right now? can we cancel? and if they charge cc in advance?

just a reminder but anwbts still works at warner and it looks like they've added some new preorders, i got

eraser
how the west was won
and every which way but loose

for just over $50

Does anyone know Borders shipping policy for pre-orders? Do they wait and bunch movies in one shipment, or will they ship as movies are released like most other companies? Just curious before I pre-ordered anything.

Whoo! That Godfather price is a steal! I just preordered, and with shipping to Canada it only came out to $67.55! Still cheaper than Amazon.com, even if I get charged customs. It'd be miles cheaper than what's offered in store here too!

Does anyone know Borders shipping policy for pre-orders? Do they wait and bunch movies in one shipment, or will they ship as movies are released like most other companies? Just curious before I pre-ordered anything.

At this point I don't think anyone knows. Borders previously had contracted Amazon to handle fulfillment for their online orders. They've only recently begun handling it themselves. So all the questions like how they handle pre-orders, shipping times, etc are all up in the air.

All I can say about the shipping is that the free shipping is pretty quick to New Hampshire -- arrives in about 3 days time. I received Point Break right on release date, as it was shipped on June 28th and streeted on July 1st. Try to bundle discs together that street at the same time. They DO bundle titles if you choose the free shipping method.

In terms of when they charge your CC, I'm not too sure. Everything I've pre-ordered so far have been paid in full with gift cards, and I still have about $500 remaining. They do remove the funds from the gift card immediately, so I suspect they must charge the CC as well.

Thanks for the link to the Judd Apatow Collection. I saw the Sarah Marshall title but didn;t realize it was the box set. 'Been waiting for that one too! :)

Yeah the WHV coupon still works, that's been a godsend for me.

I'll try to post the Borders site info on the OP soon.

Godfather trilogy is $64.35 on Family Video. You can use "GAMEPRO7" for free shipping. I just bought over 50 titles at this site.

50?!??!?!??... Blu-rays?!? :eek::eek::eek:

I cancelled my Family Video orders (they handled in one business day) because they charge on order and NOT on ship. The deals aren't good enough to give them my money for 8 weeks in advance.

I don't know if these are mistakes or not, but that Family Video has some good prices on pre-orders:

Texas Chainsaw Massacre - $8.34
Proposition - $10.34
Heroes Season 2 - $39.35
Perfect Storm - $16.85

and everything else is about $2 cheaper then Amazon's price

Do they charge us now or when it ships?

thanks just preordered heroes season 2 for 40.89.

I too pre-ordered Heroes. Thanks Bob.

You know, Family Video is currently building a brand new store in the town next to mine (small towns). They just had open interviews for job openings last week, I wonder if I will be able to get these deals in their store as I have never heard of them before they started building the new store.

Ok so I pre ordered Godfather collection with the 40% off coupon from borders.

Does anyone know if they dont charge your credit that you use on your order until they ship your order?

Also it sucks that they have Transformers blu-ray listed for pre order price of $40 and some change when amazon pre order price is $24 bucks and some change.I noticed this on borders website on a lot of blu-ray movies I wanted to pre order and buy that the list price on they're website was way to high compared to the amazon.com listed prices.This sadly prevented me from pre ordering Transformers, Iron man, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Hunt For Red October, Clear & Present Danger, Patriot Games, Top Gun, with using the current 40% off code on borders website.

Oh well there is always amazon or family video.

FYI...use cashbaq. You get another 5% off Borders. :)

It's not a code. It's a website (http://www.cashbaq.com/) where you can get cash back from various web-vendors by first going through their site (similar to FatWallet and other sites).

It seems Borders charges you for your order right away. Less than ideal, but I can't complain too much considering the price I got The Omen Collection and The Godfather trilogy for.

Does anyone know if you can make a 2nd order and use the 40% off coupon again? Or is it a once-per-account thing?

It's a one-per-account, but there's no stopping you from making different accounts. I've used every member in my household with their own email addresses. The only hitch is I can't get the Borders Rewards points on the other orders since it's linked to my email address (without all my family getting their own Reward accounts, that is).

I used the Borders coupon to get Mummy and Mummy Returns for $17.39 each (+ tax). I could've probably saved it for a more expensive item, but I don't like the idea of paying for something now that I won't receive for two months -- plus I got these BDs cheaper than I could at Best Buy and Amazon.

If there's a Borders store near you, it would only take a quick exchange to get the one with the movie cash -- and all B&Ms seem to have it.

Okay...not trying to rain on the parade here, but I would like some further confirmation. When I hover over all of the other movies in the blu-ray section a pop up with details saying "blu-ray" appears. But when I do it on the Godfather collection (in the blu-ray section) a pop up saying "dvd" appears. That gives me pause. So, since somebody already said the UPC code is for the blu-ray, is there somewhere I can go to confirm that? Bestbuy.com doesn't show any upc codes.

Brandon

If you google the UPC code, just about every site that comes up has it listed as the BD version.

add to that the DVD set is 5-disc this is BD 4-disc.
Borders adds sales tax for me, that makes the familyvideo just a bit cheaper

Thank you, kind sirs. Looks like my hesitation in buying from amazon.com paid off.

We'll have to keep an eye out for discounts on Universal titles coming up. I see 40yr Old Virgin and Knocked Up have come up for pre-order at $26.99 :( I love these movies, but no way they should be this expensive. They were $19.99 on HD DVD.

40 Year Old Virgin isn't worth $9.99 on HD DVD or Blu-ray...at least not in it's current form. It's a complete mess of a transfer.

All Universal titles have been blown out on HD DVD, between $4-$8. Ain't dead formats fun?;)

FYI, that 40%-Off Borders.com coupon (BC4777) is still working for up to 2 items. Today they added pre-order links for A Christmas Story Box-set ($29.39), LA Confidential ($16.79), Blow ($16.79), & Speed Racer ($23.99). These are all the discounted prices after the coupon is added. I'm in NH so there's no sales tax, but I believe sales tax is added normally.

With regard to Border, not sure if anyone else has confirmed, but my pre-orders (credit card payment) from about 5 days ago have not been billed to me yet, so either they are real slow billing or don't pre-charge.

Also regarding Borders - when I signed up in-store for Rewards, the girl who helped me also set up my online account. I have since found that I cannot log on. Something is not right. I emailed them on Monday, and have still not heard back, despite their "24-48 hours" claim.

I just checked my account. While there are no official charges yet, my "available credit" line has been reduced by $67. It's been a while since I purchased from an online vendor so I'm not sure if that means the charge is pending and about to be added soon (within the next day or so) or if they're just placing a hold on my credit for the amount of the purchase.

Well after browsing my local Bestbuy. I found Batman Begins for $18 dollars at the front of the store. Everywhere else in the store the bluray was $25. I don't know if the discs at the front were suppose to be $18 but I bought one anyway.:)

Damn. I remembered that that code was still working so I just tried adding the Ultimate Matrix Collection to my cart on the warner store site. Won't add to my cart. I guess I'll check back every couple days. Should be any day now since its less than three months away. Hopefully that code will still be working by the time it does become available for preorder.

I noticed that FYE also has the Judd Apatow Unrated Comedy Collection Blu-Ray (wrongly titled on the site) for $53.99 (or even less if you have one of their membership cards):

I always send to friends in the US who throw a bunch of stuff into a package and reship for me. Way cheaper than anything else in the long run, but there's an additional wait of course.

It might also be worthwhile looking into professional package forwarding services if you don't know anyone who would do it.

Does anyone know if you can make a 2nd order and use the 40% off coupon again? Or is it a once-per-account thing?

I used it twice, but only sort-of... I went to a local Borders store that had better prices than the Web site on a few movies and snagged a couple with the paper version of the coupon I printed. The store wouldn't allow purchase of box sets with the coupon. Coupon does state that it does NOT work for anything but single or 2-disc DVD/Blu rays, so I didn't fight them over it.

I then went home and ordered a couple of box sets via the Web site (Web site strangely had worse prices than my local store for single discs but better prices on the box sets) and the coupon code worked fine there.

I paid with the same credit card, but did use two different Borders Rewards cards since I used a relative's in the store but applied for my own online since the Web site required the email address on the Rewards card to match the one entered for the order.

I missed the two items stipulation, it does indeed work. Kudos. Picked up Matrix and Smallville season 7.

Edit - Didn't work because I'm in Canada, bogus.

Got The Matrix and A Christmas Story both for an excellent price! Thanks for the heads up Warner code! :)

Holy macaroni! I know the MSRP is pretty low on these titles ($14.99 across the board?), but these are some nice prices.

Against my own better judgement, I went ahead and ordered all of the Echo Bridge titles - at $6 a pop (slightly over $7 each after shipping) why the heck not... fortunately, I am easily entertained.

Sorry if this has been asked... I keep debating over buying some discs from amazon.co.uk since I'm in US. Their 3 for 2 sale (with the discs I'm getting) comes out to about 36 pounds including shipping.

My question is ... if i use my credit card to purchase, will i be charged any type of currency exchange charges? It will be around 24 US dollars per movie the way it stands... if there's even more charges it wouldnt be worth it.

I'm not sure of the exact science behind it, but after numerous purchases from dvd.co.uk in their 2hdvdvfor 10gbp my card charged me .07 and .12 for international finance conversion or some such reason but it didn't break the bank!

Cars and Ratatouille $20.95 each on amazon. I don't know why the price drop and there may be more titles with a few dollars in savings.

That's after a price DROP ?!? :eek:

On Disney titles, unfortunately, yes.

All banks charge a 1% interbank fee on foreign credit card transactions. Some banks have figured out a new way to gouge their customers and increase their profits by adding an additional "foreign transaction" fee of 2% - 5% depending on the bank, while other banks treat their customers right and haven't done this. The best way to find out how much extra fees are involved with your credit card, if any, is to read the terms and conditions that the credit card company sends out each year or call the bank that issued your credit card.

For those people in the Pacific Northwest, Fred Meyers is currently running a buy 2 get one free on Sony titles. In this Sunday's FM ad there's also a $3 off coupon good on up to 6 discs. The Sony discs are all at list price so even with the coupon it's only a very so-so deal, plus selection is limited, or at least it was in the local store.

A head's up, this weeks Best Buy ad has Top Gun listed for $24.99, I just purchased it for a in store pick-up and it is priced at $18.99. Mine will be ready tomorrow.

Some credit cards do the conversion for free and others charge a small nominal fee. Call your credit card company or go to their website.

I took a copy of the Borders 40% off coupon to the local Best Buy and asked if they would honor the coupon and the manager said OK. I got three titles for 40% off.:)

The other day they had the gold box deal of the day which was something like $.95 off. Why bother?

lol. if/when you cancel preorders, let them know that their recent pricing is the reason why. that's what i've been doing

Ok so I pre ordered Godfather collection with the 40% off coupon from borders.

Does anyone know if they dont charge your credit that you use on your order until they ship your order?

Also it sucks that they have Transformers blu-ray listed for pre order price of $40 and some change when amazon pre order price is $24 bucks and some change.I noticed this on borders website on a lot of blu-ray movies I wanted to pre order and buy that the list price on they're website was way to high compared to the amazon.com listed prices.This sadly prevented me from pre ordering Transformers, Iron man, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Hunt For Red October, Clear & Present Danger, Patriot Games, Top Gun, with using the current 40% off code on borders website.

Oh well there is always amazon or family video.

I found a pre order for the godfather collection for $64.35

Family Video, by chance?

Godfather trilogy is $64.35 on Family Video. You can use "GAMEPRO7" for free shipping. I just bought over 50 titles at this site.

http://www.familyvideo.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=292659

Family Video, by chance?

thats the one. Makes me believe that it wont be as expensive as originally thought at every other retailer too. still havent ordered.

In the future you might want to do a quick search for the title to see if the deal has already been mentioned.

And if it hasn't, let others know where they can find it.

Amazon has really gone down hill as far as HDM prices in the last 6 months.

I agree. I'm relying on Family Video more and more.

Thanks for the info on the Disney sale at Amazon

You should check out the thread on Blu-Ray.com

I guess you could get that for FREE shipped with a $10 coupon.

Yes, you have to sign up for 7-day trial membership (after which you're charged $20 per month), and you have to cancel at least 48 hours after placing your Pre-Order.

I placed pre-orders for the Mummy movies which I got with Movie Cash even weeks after cancelling my trial membership.

Big batch of Moviestop deals if you happen to have one about.

1. BD are buy 2 get 1 free on a bunch of titles. (add said 60 titles, the store had maybe 20 titles out on a table and said those were it..... so your luck may vary)

2. Used are buy 3 and get the 4th free. (The used went from $13 for the DBZ movies to $22 for the latest Harry Potter, with most hovering around $18. You can also mix and match with regular dvd.)

3. If you trade in 4 movies you get 50% off the BD preorders of 6 different movies. I'm assuming it is 4 per 50%. I'm trying to remember the 6 movies. The ones that caught my eye were Transformers, Hulk, and Iron Man, but there were 3 others that I'll try to update when I check back with them. When I asked how long this 50% was going on for, they told me that it was until these 6 were released pretty much.

Good luck all, I'll try to add more details when I get the chance as I'm going back to trade in and pre order Transformers and Iron Man.

Add $5 for shipping ($3 for Stargate plus $2 for Counterfeiters).

Even with tax it is less than $10 more than Amazon's price ($27.95). IMHO the DVD's are worth at least $5-$10 each.

No doubt, especially with Spidey 3 being 29.95, when a few months back, you could get the whole trilogy from JR for like 35 bucks or so!

The Amazon sale is the same titles as Target's sale.

For the Canadians

I posted a while back about http://www.bigpicvideo.com

It looks like they have added some new titles to their list.

The Amazon sale is the same titles as Target's sale.

Target's on-line blu-ray store is the same as Amazon's. It even has an Amazon icon on the page.

I meant in-store also, Sunday's ad.

The lack of blu ray deals as of late is depressing :(

I agree.
It is basically the same movies over and over again that are on sale.
Lets hope this years holiday season brings new offerings to Blu Ray sales.

Yep. For new people who're just jumping in think it's great but these deals have been around for years now. What I'm hoping is they do a big holiday push with lower prices for more adoption and I'll catch up then. I'm not too thrilled for paying $25+ on catalog titles.

Not sure if this has been posted.

Apparently a new HD edition of Stargaze has been released with images of space. Retail is 24.95 but Amazon has it for 14.95:
Amazon.com: Stargaze HD: Universal Beauty [Blu-ray]: HDScape: Movies & TV (http://www.amazon.com/Stargaze-HD-Universal-Beauty-Blu-ray/dp/B0018LX9ZI/)

free shipping with prime or $25 worth of stuff.

Not sure if this is going to be the new "status quo" but about 1/3 of the movies I want (pre-orders) are over $20, which means I won't be buying them until they're in a B2G1 or other type of sale.

I will not fall into the trap and buy BD the way I bought regular dvds several years ago. I bought movies just to have them. I actually watched very few of them over the years as I wanted to spend my free time watching movies I have not seen. I will only buy my all-time favorites and only when they are on sale (u/$20).

I will not make the same mistake twice.
