View Full Version : Bourne Trilogy HD is Amazon exclusive

One thing I'm not sure of is if they are just shipping the three titles together for $52.99 (a GREAT price!!) or if it comes in the same packaging as the SDVD trilogy set
Megalith 11-14-07, 03:06 AM This must be different than the set that comes with the Bourne passport, yes?
I cannot wait to see the killer fight scene from Ultimatum in HD with 1.5mbps audio.

Yes I believe it is. There may NOT be a Bourne Collection coming out to HD DVD (except in the UK). I am hearing conflicting reports on this now.
Boogie7910 11-14-07, 03:12 AM Hope this is the same set that comes in a safe deposit type casing and passport.
I imagine it would be.
Missions 11-14-07, 03:21 AM I've attended the AVS Meet at Toshiba in Toronto last Saturday and Richard Bicknell, VP Marketing for Universal Studios Canada, confirmed that there will be no special boxed set for the Bourne trilogy in HD DVD.
Amazon will simply bundle the 3 movies together.
I pre-ordered it yesterday. Total cost came to $62.97 with expedited international shipping to Canada (approximately $58 Cdn). Not a bad deal.
And if there are custom fees, it should still be below the cost of buying all 3 in Canada including taxes.
With so many of the recent HD DVD players bundled with Bourne Identity... many of us just need Supremacy and Ultimatum to complete our sets. Hopefully there will be a nice two-for discount package deal of some kind.
I actually already own the first two on SD... and of course now the first again in HD via the in-box freebie... and am figuring on buying Supremacy in HD when Ultimatum comes out and watching both together.

Thats weird since I just saw box art for it in the UK. Was he talking worldwide or just in North America?

It was understood to be North America.

that's what i'm hoping for as well.
Somehow I think even the UK set of all 3 isn't going to be a box set either. amazon.co.uk has no picture and very little information. If it was the fancy box set with the extras I'd order it. Chances are if we want any of that extra stuff, we will just have to buy the DVD box set (In addition to the HD versions). Right before Ultimatum went to theaters I got a neat 2 disc DVD set for under $10 at best buy. I really want the passport tho :)
dukmahsik 11-14-07, 10:41 AM great price!!!
Adam_ME 11-14-07, 11:49 AM That's a helluva deal, especially with the extra 10% off. And don't forget Ultimatum is an overpriced combo title.
Too bad I already own the first two.

It's showing $0.00 for the 10% HDM promotion. Can anyone confirm if they are getting their 10% off?
BinaryLinguist 11-14-07, 12:38 PM It's showing $0.00 for the 10% HDM promotion. Can anyone confirm if they are getting their 10% off?
I had to call in and have them add the 10% to my account before I purchased. Being a Prime Member helps to get these things done...

I was just looking at this last night to ship to Canada, I originally had Stardust and Bourne Ultimatum in my cart but shipping was putting them equal to the Futureshop price....so I saw that they had an HDDVD set and by adding that instead of the standalone the shipping stayed the same (about $6 per item with only 2 items, gets cheaper if you order more) which seemed like a pretty good idea as I only own the first 2 movies in DVD not HDDVD.
PS...isn't that red line nice to read....:)
BinaryLinguist 11-14-07, 03:30 PM They lowered the price to $49.95. I just called in to get my order adjusted... final price with 2 day shipping = $44.65.
Nice!

UCFKevin 11-14-07, 06:59 PM Hooray! I knew it'd pay off if I didn't get the first two yet...
nelsona 11-14-07, 08:13 PM Sweet! Signed up for the Amazon Visa card too, brings it to $19.95. http://smiliesftw.com/x/xmascool.gif (http://smiliesftw.com)
Emannikcufesin 11-14-07, 08:29 PM Sold for $49.95. This one is a no brainer.
azmodien 11-14-07, 08:57 PM Killer price. ORDERED.
rhenzhen 11-14-07, 09:20 PM Guys, how do you get the 10% off to Amazon? Thanks!
John Ballentine 11-14-07, 09:51 PM That was a special deal (free) we got early last year. For both Blu-ray and HD-DVD purchases. And it was held over for 2007. Hope it rolls over to 2008!
psblake 11-14-07, 10:09 PM how do you tkae advantage of the 10 percent off deal?

That was answered in the post above yours. ;)

Now in True HD, http://hddvd.highdefdigest.com/1137/bourneultimatum.html :D
Arutha_conDoin 11-14-07, 11:26 PM So far no luck for me on the 10% off. I know I have had to call on a few orders to get it and this maybe the case. Bummed we are not getting a collectors edition though.:(
valkyrie 11-15-07, 12:03 AM I already have the first two, and pre-ordered Ultimatum, but this price is great. I just picked up the set for a buddy who got in on the A2 sale for his birthday. Great price, thanks OP.

You can watch the fight scene from Identity. That one in Ultimatum was cut way way too quick. And the sound stage punches sounded cartoony.
And the car chase in Supremacy is better than Ultimatum's too.
Besides that all 3 are awesome. But I want a box to hold all 3.
Boogie7910 11-15-07, 08:41 AM Well I had to call Amazon customer service to get them to apply the 10% off. Now I'm paying $44.95. What a great deal! :)
mixtapem 11-16-07, 02:17 PM Yeah, its a shame their is no box set coming this year.
On a side note the 10% is working
TrevorS 11-16-07, 05:53 PM Thanks for the tip, just ordered the set! I still have a sealed Bourne Supremacy, so I guess I'll have to find a buyer.
lemming75 11-30-07, 07:16 PM Amazon just cancelled my Bourne Trilogy! They say it is no longer available. Did anyone else get this e-mail?
JosephShaw 11-30-07, 07:43 PM Amazon just cancelled my Bourne Trilogy! They say it is no longer available. Did anyone else get this e-mail?
I got this e-mail at 6:45 AM:
Hello from Amazon.com.
We are sorry to report that the availability of the following item
has changed:
Matt Damon (Actor) "The Bourne Trilogy (The Bourne Identity / The
Bourne Supremacy / The Bourne Ultimatum) [HD DVD] - Amazon.com
Exclusive" [HD DVD]
It is actually not yet released, but we will keep this item on order
for you until it is released. When it becomes available, the
status of the item on the "Your Account" page on our web site
(http://www.amazon.com/) will change from "Not Yet Released" to
its new availability. Per our standard policy, your credit card
will not be charged for this item until it is shipped.
I was not exactly sure what that meant, so I looked up the item again here (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YMBBH0). It appears that the date changed from 12/11 to 12/13, and it is still available for pre-order from Amazon. :confused:
colombianlove41 11-30-07, 07:55 PM because i know computer suck sometimes, I'm sure the date change cancelled the orders for some odd reason. a digit in the wrong place....
JosephShaw 11-30-07, 08:32 PM Well, mine is still listed in my order, it just has a different release day now.
lemming75 11-30-07, 09:14 PM Wow. They just sent me the same e-mail above. So in 2 hours I've gotten from "Order is cancelled" to "Availability has changed." Weird.
JosephShaw 12-01-07, 06:53 PM Yeah, I just got another e-mail tonight about an hour ago stating that the shipping date had changed.
AndrewWOz 12-02-07, 06:14 AM well this just gets better and better
got an email 2 days ago saying it had been delayed, noticed it was pushed out from the 11th to the 13th
now I get another email today saying it's been pushed out to the 19th (which is strange as it still shows as the 13th on the amazon site).
This is quite annoying, as I have it in a large order and being in Australia I had to go the really expensive courier option to get the discs before Christmas (some of them are presents).
The 13th would still make it in time, no chance with the19th :confused:
suffolk112000 12-02-07, 10:41 AM Wait till our beloved geniuses representing the same format that brought you the HD-DVD bus, get this title pushed back beyond Christmas. :rolleyes:
We’ll have another situation like we had last year where there were no HD-DVD players during the most critical shopping season of the year. If this happens, I won’t be surprised… disappointed, but not surprised.
musiqlova25 12-02-07, 12:55 PM hopefully...and everyone cross your fingers...what this means is they have decided to make it a nice boxset for the holidays!:D now wouldn't that make all of us :D I have no inside info on this, but from a financial standpoint i doubt they'll push the date beyond the holidays.
nelsona 12-02-07, 02:29 PM Just got the second email saying mine has been delayed till the 17th.
suffolk112000 12-02-07, 05:57 PM Just got the second email saying mine has been delayed till the 17th.
we are getting closer. :rolleyes:

thebland 12-02-07, 06:50 PM Are these combos like the the singles?
Are these combos like the the singles?
What do you mean Jeff?
I don't think the boxed set was from Universal - it was supposedly an Amazon exclusive thing...
thebland 12-02-07, 07:00 PM I ordered the Trilogy from Amazon. I saw the sinlge release of Bourne Ultimatum was a combo. In looking at the picture on Amazon, I didn't see the combo logo on the 3 films. Though I only wanted Ultimatum, I'd rather pay $50 to get it (in a non combo vesion) than $30 for a combo...
So, am I correct? Are the trilogy discs non combos?

No.
Ultimatum is still a combo disc.

The only way you can get Ultimatum as a non-combo disc is to import it.

thebland 12-02-07, 07:11 PM The only way you can get Ultimatum as a non-combo disc is to import it.
Or.....as part of the Trilogy.. Correct?
jmgonzalez 12-02-07, 07:17 PM I'm pretty sure this is Amazon bundling all 3 movies - no true box set using whatever is available in retail for these movies.
Sporadic 12-02-07, 07:21 PM Or.....as part of the Trilogy.. Correct?
Again, no.
Notice in the picture I posted (from the Bourne Trilogy page on Amazon), Ultimatum is just the normal combo being released.
Amazon is bundling together the standalone releases, nothing special.
Hunter844 12-02-07, 07:30 PM I had previously pre-ordered ultimatum but saw this on HTguys.com and ordered it. Nice find even if I do have to wait a little longer.
thebland 12-02-07, 07:41 PM Ahhh.....I read things right to left thinking Ultimatum is on the right of those 3 disc covers. Thanks for the clarification..... I guess I'm going UK! Too bad, Amazon Prime is likely only US>...
CorCentral 12-04-07, 11:35 AM Well it looks like it's being pushed back even further....... Got this email on Dec 1st

Weird, I haven't got a notice so far
I was considering just selling my copies of the first two movies and ordering the trilogy since the third film alone will likely cost me $30 in stores, but I don't know now. When the hell is Amazon going to land on a date to ship these things?
shadowrage 12-05-07, 11:47 PM I just preodered one with an estimated ship date of 12/13. One hour ago.
So is the actual release date getting pushed back, or is it just Amazon is having a hard time fullfilling the orders. This Tuesday, will I be able to walk into best buy and pick it up?? All I need is Ultamatum.
Stryker412 12-06-07, 08:46 AM Are the first two any different than the already released versions?
VeeArSix 12-06-07, 02:39 PM Are the first two any different than the already released versions?
nope, they're identical to the ones out in stores now.
jmpage2 12-06-07, 04:27 PM Are the first two any different than the already released versions?
No, this isn't a boxed set at all (as has been stated repeatedly) it is nothing but a bundle of the two already released HD DVDs plus the new one. It is no different than buying the three movies individually (at a higher price).
I work at blockbuster and we just got a box set for the Bourne Trilogy. Its for DVD though so I don't know what this will mean for the HD DVD release. I'm hoping it will be boxed though because the set really looked cool!
Nevermind I see that they have the boxed set on Amazon too...
AndrewWOz 12-06-07, 08:49 PM well even though I got the email saying it was pushed back to the 19th, it is still showing as shipping on the 13th on the order details page.
Fingers crossed ...
valkyrie 12-12-07, 02:56 PM FYI, I just got the 'Shipped' email from Amazon for the trilogy.
chidrock 12-12-07, 04:28 PM I ordered mine 2 hours ago with 2 day shipping, and they're processing the shipment now. I noticed that if I used the supersaver shipping it wouldn't even go out until Monday. Funny how that changes when they ship it. I'm crossing my fingers that it'll show up on Friday.
chaingunsofdoom 12-12-07, 06:12 PM I ordered mine weeks ago, and it says it will ship tomorrow. Hopefully. :)
Kricket 12-14-07, 02:28 PM just wanted to note - mine shipped out today - just got the email
would have posted in one of the shipping threads - but all of those are locked.......
EDIT - its funny - the latest thread is locked with a note stating to check out the other threads - the next one previous is locked too - that one has two links to other threads and its noted to check those two other threads - both of those are locked too - lol
Morpheo 12-14-07, 02:33 PM Nevermind I see that they have the boxed set on Amazon too...
But you're talking about the dvd version right ? The box set for the HD DVD has been delayed with no release date on the horizon...
UCFKevin 12-14-07, 03:14 PM Woohoo! Mine shipped out!
Ghosthoffa 12-14-07, 03:16 PM mine will go out monday since I am a cheap bastard and got the super saver shipping :mad:
UCFKevin 12-14-07, 03:41 PM So did I, though...
lemming75 12-14-07, 04:18 PM Mine arrived yesterday and is indeed all 3 films still in original shrink wrap with white stickers over the UPC code. Peels off easily, so if you are giving these as gifts the recipient will think you paid top dollar!
But you're talking about the dvd version right ? The box set for the HD DVD has been delayed with no release date on the horizon...
Yup the dvd version. HD DVD owners got shafted on this one.
Arutha_conDoin 12-16-07, 12:28 AM I ordered on Wed night. Shipped on Thursday and arrived today(saturday). Now to get my wife to sit down and watch the first two so I can watch the 3rd one!
Darkhunter139 12-16-07, 09:51 PM Mine are coming on Tuesday! They shipped the other day, great deal!
Anyone got the UK trilogy HD edition and would be nice to check before I order from amazon.co.uk which subtitles are on. Are especially interested if there are Danish subs on it:)
