Amazon Buy 2 Blu-ray Discs from SPHE, Get a 3rd Free - Page 4

post #91 of 138
damn! I can't believe all these deals of late, first DeepDiscount and now this, I was going to get a PS3 soon but certain financial problems arose and now I don't know when I'll be getting one. It's Murphy's Law I tell you, I bet there won't be any kind of deals when I will finally be able to get one.

Just purchased:

Secret Window
Into The Blue
The Covenant

Question, is Layer Cake good? Bunch of people are getting it. Also why get Talladega Nights, not a good movie for Ferrell.

I enjoyed Layer Cake, good story & action, well acted. It's also a nice transfer, but I netflixed it and wouldn't see myself watching it again for any reason.

As far as Talladega, it's all a matter of opinion, everyone's got one.

I picked up:

Layer Cake (excellent crime movie)
Resident Evil: Apocalypse (um, do you need another reason than Jojovich? )
Secret Window (blind buy)

I want to pick up Hellboy, but I'm not sure what else to get. I picked up Pirates 1 & 2 last week. Any recommendations?

You have to wonder how bad BR is doing for all these price cuts.

My collection is growing though.

Even with the sales, though, it just brings them down to DVD prices, as they should be.

Any sale could almost be a way of the studios proving, "see, it's not that the demand for HD isn't there...it's that prices are too high....when prices are reasonable people buy."

Just grabbed 6 titles plus Hellboy. Stupid money sucking sales

Too good to pass on, I bought momento, Black Hawk Down, Resident Evil Apocolpse.

Bummer - I wanted to picked up Layer Cake, Warriors of Heaven and Earth and Big Fish. All of those movies are on the list, however Layer Cake will not ship till later this week. Due to that they are shipping it separate and the site is not offering me the discount. Not sure why it is not but it is frustrating as Layer Cake was the movie I wanted the most of the three.

Talladega Nights though has one of the worst video transfers on Bluray though. The colors are dark and washed out.
post #107 of 138
WOOT - I called up Amazon and asked why I was not able to get the discount. They manually entered my order and forced the discount. I got Layer Cake, Warriors of Heaven and Earth - and Big Fish all for $35.91. It was nice to get the free disc on top of the 10% Amazon discount. That means that each of these dics only cost me 35.91 ÷ 3 = 11.97 each !!! Got to love these Blu-ray discounts. That ups my Blu-ray collection over my HD-DVD collection for the total number of discs. I now own 33 Blu-ray movies (31 HD-DVDS).

If this sale was an indicator of poor BD sales then Casino Royale would certainly not be part of the deal. I read these sales as promotion to keep the Blu-ray train ahead of HD DVD with all its recent hardware deals. Competition is a good thing.

Haha, small world. Move went great, I am *so* happy to be out of Hawaii. I'm actually still "halfway" moved, I'm in Austin right now until I get out to ATL for Google.

How's blu-ray treating you? It's going to be a while before I amass a collection like everybody else here, that's for sure!

*Goes back to window shopping through other people's collections*
post #113 of 138
I just picked up

Casino Royale (x2) - One for a friend
Underworld: Evolution

No Blu-ray player yet... but it seemed a good place to start!

I'm confused. Never heard anyone say they were happy to leave Hawaii. It's always the other way around.

Just got:
Tears of the Sun

Stranger than Fiction

I wanted to get Layer Cake instead of Tears of the Sun, but it was out of stock, therefore the promotion didn't apply. Oh well, maybe next time. Thanks OP.

It depends on your personality type. I hate laziness/waiting, don't like doing "nothing", etc. For me, Hawaii just wasn't the place to be. Even Honolulu is maybe a 0.5 out of 10 on the "exciting" scale.

On the other hand, if you like lounging around all day, hanging out at the beach, and don't mind everybody always being 30+ minutes late (this includes to business meetings) - you'll love Hawaii.

Certain personality types do well there, others do not - as always - personal preference! Just watch out for plate lunches. They don't taste that great, and i gained 30 lbs over the period of 3 years simply because that's all there was to eat around my office building.

Better not let this get off topic, feel free to PM about Hawaii related stuff. Don't want to miss out on people's collections here!
