[tiredfornow]

noice.

[bmachine]

That rocks. I'm in for The Fountain and Purple Rain.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a really good time, too. If you're looking for an action/comedy in the vein of the original Lethal Weapon (in fact, from the writer of the original LW) you should check this out.

[heyo007]

Thanks for the heads up, Casey. Picked up 2 TMNT's. One for me and another for gifting purposes.

[prmononoke]

QFT.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is an awesome movie. I really should own it.

[lawdood]

Good Lord, Amazon has been killing my wallet lately. Oh well, last day of my Prime Account...might as well take advantage. In for Superman Returns and the Departed.

[dallow]

Dog Day Afternoon is a winner in my book.

http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/712/dogdayafternoon.html

Great Al Pacino flick.

[HERETOSTAY]

Warner getting involved in a sale. Finally.

[dallow]

Warner getting involved in sale. Finally.Ha, exactly what I said.

[shrike4242]

Good Lord, Amazon has been killing my wallet lately. Oh well, last day of my Prime Account...might as well take advantage. In for Superman Returns and the Departed.Mine runs out on the 8th, so it's time for a few more uses before exhausting itself. :cry:

Picked up The Departed and The Fountain on one order, and Syriana and Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang on the other.

Might make another order or two from the $19.95 movies, though that's it for me on the $23.95 ones.

[HERETOSTAY]

$9 movies for $92.xx

Thank You Warner.

[apocrypha]

Road Warrior
Dog Day Afternoon
for me

[basketkase543]

Picked up TMNT and Dog Day Afternoon.

Thanks OP.

Is Syriana any good?

[CaseyRyback]

I bought Dog Day Afternoon, Purple Rain, Lethal Weapon, and the Road Warrior.

[bmachine]

For those of you that have Amazon Prime: did you do the sneaky 4-way split deal that I see a thread for every now and then, or did you just buy the whole damn thing outright? Is it worth the expense, in your opinion?

[Jedi1979]

picked up The Cowboys, Enter the Dragon, Bullitt, and Battle of the Bulge...I wish there was better selection, but BOGO is very hard to resist:)

[Inf^Shini]

chill, tagged for later.

Any idea on how long this will last?

[dpf1978]

In for Corpse Bride (for demo disc) and Dog Day Afternoon (because I've never seen it).

Love these deals!

[Steggy]

In for Corpse Bride (for demo disc) and Dog Day Afternoon (because I've never seen it).

Love these deals!

what demo disc?

[basketkase543]

He means he bought it to show off a good looking HD film (i.e. to "demo" it to people).

[jacknicklson]

Damn, I can never seem to resist. :D

The Road Warrior
Dog Day Afternoon
Lethal Weapon
Superman

[rodeojones903]

Awesome. Picked up

We Are Marshall
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Dog Day Afternoon
Beerfest

[Inf^Shini]

For those of you that have Amazon Prime: did you do the sneaky 4-way split deal that I see a thread for every now and then, or did you just buy the whole damn thing outright? Is it worth the expense, in your opinion?

say what?

[xcoax]

crap. I need to resist, but I've been wanting to pick up a few of the titles on this list. I might end up getting two though because I can't resist a BOGO from someone other than Sony/Disney for once.

[thebob101]

Damn, I am in for 6 BRs. This is killing my wallet. It hates me and I am starting to hate myself for all of this spending. The maddness has to stop, please, stop!

[Pookymeister]

i bought it outright and ive def used $75 worth of shipping so far and ive had it 2 months or so

[donut]

Ok, so do I need to call Amazon on this?

In my cart, I have 2 - $23.95 movies and 2 - $19.95 movies.

I should receive one of each price for free but it defaults to the 2 $19.95.

Its always going to give you the cheaper ones for free. You have to split them up to get the larger discount.

I did seperate transaction for the ones with different prices, ie- both $19.95 BRs, then the $23.95 BRs.

[Downhere]

Is Syriana any good?

If you want a good nap get Syriana.

[rodeojones903]

If you want a good nap get Syriana.

Agreed.

[Maelstrom]

Some solid releases in that list, thanks

[nyprimus4]

Beerfest
Blood Diamond
Million Dollar Baby
Training Day

I should be in for those.

[Pookymeister]

picked up the Supes

[msu89dawgs]

Picked up TMNT, Blood Diamond, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and Gods and Generals (split the orders by price). With the 10% discount on all four movies from my HD DVD player purchase from last November, total came to $35.12 for all four. If my wife only knew how much money Amazon is "saving" me with these deals....

[mietha]

Picked up Departed and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Would have picked up more, but I already have 8 of them on BR, 4 on HD, and 2 on DVD.

[basketkase543]

I was gonna pick up Training Day with Corpse Bride but I have Training Day on DVD and just couldn't get myself to make the purchase.

[RyanFrost]

Thanks OP!

Picked up:

Dog Day Afternoon
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Training Day
TMNT

[redgopher]

I picked up:

Superman
Superman II
Superman Returns
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

And for the record, from the previous sales over the past few weeks from Amazon, I also got:

Deja Vu
Reservoir Dogs
Good Night and Good Luck
The Usual Suspects
PotC: Black Pearl
PotC: Dead Man's Chest
Silent Hill
Casino Royale

God, I'm such a whore.

[lurknomore]

I just can't do this...I just can't. Hopefully this sale will end before I know too long because I just know that I will reconsider and buy up 4-6 more Blu-Rays. Maybe I should make a pledge that I should at least open the ones that I have bought previously before being able to but even one more.

I did it on my own last year when Amazon had a deal as part of their Christmas promotion. It was $120 for a year of Amazon Prime and a $100 toys and games GC which worked on videogames. Basically a year of Prime for $20 was too good a deal to pass up.

I liked it so much I'm thinking of just sucking it up and paying the full $79 for another year. Why couldn't you have had some deal THIS year Amazon????

[mietha]

These BOGOs kill me. Went back and ordered Lady In The Water and Beerfest.

[Pookymeister]

debating going back to get Lethal Weapon and Road Warrior.

[Downhere]

I wish they would have offered 300, but I did pick up TMNT and The Ant Bully. Not bad.

[GrilledWitOnions]

First time Blu Ray Buyer (have Prestige for free, but besides that, nothing). Really like HD-DVD more, but now that my bro has a BD player (PS3), I can jump in on the deals everyone always gets with this format.
Had a $20 credit, and wanted PS3-Oblivion (as a present for aformentioned brother), and then needed $5 more for free shipping. Why not spend $20 and get movies? *sigh* Way to go Amazon, you always make me spend money!

Wanted Departed, but no other $24.99 BD, so I settled on Corpse Bride and Dog Day Afternoon. I suppose $6 per item is pretty decent, considering it's a PS3 game and two BD's. My g/f is gonna kill me.

[Don Chubo]

Also a first time buyer. Snagged Road Warrior and Dog Day Afternoon. Thanks, OP!

[basketkase543]

check it out

http://www.amazon.com/gp/movers-and-shakers/dvd/


I was surprised to see The Departed so low on the list but the list shows movies with the highest improvement in sales and the Departed has always been a top seller.

[dizzle24]

Picked up Training Day and Enter the Dragon.

[DetroitSportsFan]

They added more titles.

300, Troy, Christmas Vacation, Christmas Story, and more.

[CaseyRyback]

Thanks. Going to grab Under Siege and something else.

[Jedi1979]

shit...they have a couple of the box sets as well


damn...just dropped another $116 on 6 movies and 2 boxsets for a total of 14 movies...i have to tally up everything later

[cartman58]

First post here so hello all.

I saw this deal on another site I go to before I came here, but I picked up Blood Diamond and Gods&Generals.

Seeing it updated I may go back and pick up Happy Feet for the girlfriend and either The Samurai or Troy.

[iamrobk]

I just picked up 300 and Troy, thanks!

Now I am trying to find another movie to go with The Last Samurai...

[Ice2Dragon]

I already own these damn movies. Grrr

[pbaz11]

Couldn't help myself...picked up The Departed and The Fountain and the Coby digital headphones for $5.08 to get free shipping. Thanks OP.

[RyanFrost]

WOAH. Thanks for adding 300 Amazon!!!! I've been waiting for this title to go on sale. YAY! Got it with The Fountain. Also ended up picking up Good Fellas and The Road Warrior for a total of 8 movies from this sale.

[RyanFrost]

Couldn't help myself...picked up The Departed and The Fountain and the Coby digital headphones for $5.08 to get free shipping. Thanks OP.

You don't need to add the Coby headphones. They still give you free shipping even though your order is only $19.99! I'm guessing they determine you are eligible for free shipping before they apply the BOGO.

[GrilledWitOnions]

You've got to be kidding me! I spent an hour last night deciding on what to buy and then they add more! Easy picks too! 300 and unforgiven and awesome ones! Arg... must resist buying more...

[rsigley]

nice, picked up good luck/good night and unforgiven

too bad they add lethal weapon 2 and take away 1 tho

[TimPV3]

Holy shit, you could get both Best of Bluray volumes for $56! $7 per movie.

[rodeojones903]

Placed another order for A Christmas Story and Unforgiven.

[Pookymeister]

Holy shit, you could get both Best of Bluray volumes for $56! $7 per movie.


Im considering this. Does anyone know if they come in separate packages, ie if i dont like 1 movie i could sell standalone?

[dallow]

Damnit, I should have ordered yesterday!
Two of the movies I really wanted are gone.

Ah well.
Ordered:

Deliverance
Good Night, and Good Luck
Rio Bravo
The Searchers
The Wild Bunch
A Christmas Story

Im considering this. Does anyone know if they come in separate packages, ie if i dont like 1 movie i could sell standalone?The movies come in a thin box slip. But the movies are seperate like normal.

[MrNEWZ]

Ant Bully, etc. are all gone. :-(

[mtxbass1]

Picked up both of the "best of" sets. Incredible deal. $57 for 8 pretty solid movies.

[mykevermin]

Im considering this. Does anyone know if they come in separate packages, ie if i dont like 1 movie i could sell standalone?

Yes, they do, but I don't know if they are individually sealed inside the box they come in.

That's a helluva deal, and the title should be edited to reflect 8 BR movies for $57. Christ I wish I didn't have some of them already.

EDIT: If you have the 10% off promo (if you bought 2 BR movies in 2006, you got 10% of all BR orders throughout 2007), it takes it off *before* the other discounts. I ordered A Christmas Story (I know, I know), Blood Diamond, Enter the Dragon, and Rio Bravo for $33.84 shipped. Huzzah!

[Pookymeister]

Yes, they do, but I don't know if they are individually sealed inside the box they come in.


That would explain why im seeing stuff on half.com saying brand new but not shrinkwrapped for ones i don't need.

[shrike4242]

Damn you, dallow, for telling me about the new assortment. I ordered Scanner Darkly and A Christmas Story. Departing about some others, though that's for tomorrow morning.

[dallow]

Hard to resist at 10 bucks a pop I know.

[shrike4242]

:D

Hard to resist at 10 bucks a pop I know.I'll send you the bill. ;)

[CAG 79]

How long do these deals usually last? I don't get paid until Friday.

[dallow]

How long do these deals usually last? I don't get paid until Friday.Just started yesterday, I think you'll be safe.

Maybe a week or so?

[Pookymeister]

so i picked up:

The 2 Best of bundles
Lethal Weapon 2
Christmas Story
600

Pretty hot.

[Masterkyo]

I really BROKE right now. I wish the sale extended till next wekk .. pay check day :(

[leshrac55]

Just bought all 3 Best of sets despite only 2 of them being on the B1G1 free... with the 10% off brings all 3 sets to $98.61. Sell the blu-rays I don't want (probably between 2-5 of them) (should be able to get at least $15 a piece for them) and I'm in good shape.

[vera]

Just started yesterday, I think you'll be safe.

Maybe a week or so?

they seem to be changing the lists so might be best to jump on it while you can.

i think the last one lasted around 4-5 days. i'm still kicking myself for not picking up both pirates during the disney BOGO.

Shit, three of the new movies added are ones that I bought last week during Amazon's B2G1 free sale. I coulda waited for this one--of course, waiting for these deals is akin to gambling: you just don't know when to take the deal and walk away or sit and wait in hopes of an even better deal tomorrow.

Anybody recommend Letters from Iwo Jima? I'm thinking about getting it with Happy Feet.

[Ice2Dragon]

And yes, MOTP blows. The PQ is terrible.. audio is pretty sub par too.

you're better off grabbing the dvd and letting it get upconverted..

Happy Feet is an amazing looking movie.. just not a rewatcher.. but definite demo material.

IWO JIMA is a great movie.. definite recommend.. great story.. some cool extras too :)

[Jedi1979]

i am a sucker for the classics...especially with the way they remastered some of them...also i figure probably half may end up on ebay or traded so at $9.60 a movie it is a pretty safe bet

and for somebody who has over 250 hi def movies it seems to be a little weird hearing you say there are very few keepers on this list;)

One of these days ILl post a pic of the collection, youll notice theres absolutely 0 classics.. I think maybe .. as i glance over at it.. hurting my back in the process.

The classics, I.e. not from the past few years..

Robocop
Species

Only two movies outta 250+ that arent from lets say the past 5-6 years..

My friends get all the old movies.. Im not a fan -_-V

How old are you? :-s

I love the classics, that's why they're classics! Haha

Of course, I can only justify buying them if there is a huge difference in PQ and AQ compared to previous releases AND if I haven't watched it to death.

Man, their previous B1G1, then DD's 20% and B1G1's, NOW this one, I'm gonna end up in a world of hurt -_-

21. Never been a fan of older movies.. I didnt even enjoy robocop.. the second one was wayyy better.. then it went downhill.

Species was a great flick, mainly cuz the chick was nude the entire movie.

ANYWAYS -_-V

I bet anything that a few more years from now you will start to watch all the old classics and love them.

:shock: you my friend are missing out...especially with what has been done to bring them to HD...but to each is own


and i wasnt a big fan of the classics till they started showing up on DVD and now that they are in HD i am playing catch-up as fast as i can...

I was raised watching a lot of classics n' such, and I'm just a big fan of em. Sandlot anyone? :D

[yesitsreallyjosh]

do you guys have any idea when this is gonna end? i dont have any cash until friday so i really REALLY need this offer to last at least thru then! if it doesnt stay till friday, do u think theyll do a blu ray BOGO one more time before christmas?


help!!

:cry::cry::cry:

[DestroVega]

Some of those movies are no longer on the list.. what gives?

[dallow]

I pretty much only want classics on HD.

[RockyTop1]

Well I picked up both of the "Best of" packs. Surely I can sell them for more than $7/movie on ebay.

[sendme]

I have to say the movies they have listed do not seem worth it to me. I have them on DVD and do not see the point in geting it on HD at this time due to price or they are not something I would watch. Oh well I really don't need more on the credit card. Also I do not see the point in geting a Bluray or HD DVD unless the movie has been made in the past 3-5 years. Some of what you all are calling classics were not shot in HD so why get it on HD. Some times the quality is wors then on the normal dvd(Halloween for example). However this is all comeing from a guy that bought Animal House on HD for about 10 bucks more then the normal DVD.

They were shot on film, which is what, hundreds of times the resolution of HD?
Film is far superior.

The movie, old or not, will look as good as the job the studio does with it.
Some classics look a hell of a lot better than recent movies with crappy transfers.

lol...obviously not every old movie or even newer movie is not perfect in HD but the ones that they took the time to remaster look amazing...go take a look at The Searchers...i was blown away when i first put that in...and for $10 a movie with this deal, it is well worth it especially if you dont have the dvd versions


Edit: I agree with what dallow said as well

[dakidiznice]

Does anyone know if I order the 2 best of blu ray and 2 more will they credit 1 of the best of or give me the 2 cheapermovies for free.

[bmachine]

Does anyone know if I order the 2 best of blu ray and 2 more will they credit 1 of the best of or give me the 2 cheapermovies for free.

Higher price always prevails so the 2 cheaper movies will be the freebies. You'll have to submit 2 seperate orders.

[scum1]

I added 2 of the titles to my cart but none is showing free in cart???

[dakidiznice]

Thats what I thought. Thanks bmachine

[Pookymeister]

I added 2 of the titles to my cart but none is showing free in cart???
checkout screen shows discount

[scum1]

I go all the way to where I enter my credit card and it still shows full price

[abhinav]

The departed and blood diamond for $24 is FTW. 2 great movies for $12 just makes me happy. Now i want to do one more order to get Troy and something else...

[Inf^Shini]

I go all the way to where I enter my credit card and it still shows full price

The discount usually shows up once you get to the "Place Your Order" section.

I just tried it and it still works.

Anybody got any suggestions (video game or tech related would be nice) for something that is on clearance for a few bucks? I only see two movies I want or need, so I could use a bit of filler for free shipping.

I'm not sure, but I THINK I read somebody say they got free shipping on just 2 - that the free shipping was apparently "activated" before the 2nd BRD was given free.

But if you are looking for something to get up over free shipping, what I've been buying lately, actually, is FOOD. Just buy a box of cookies or something. :D

[Pookymeister]

got my Superman BR's today, yay

[dallow]

I believe you'll get free shipping anyway.

Yeah, that's how it worked for me. I got 300 and TMNT for $23.xx total and free shipping.

where do u guys always find the links to the deals? amazon never shows em..Just go to Amazon and click on "Movies", then "Blu-Ray".

Whatever specials they have going on usually show up in a special box, or on the right somewhere.

I just bought my first Bluray dvd today. It was 20 bucks and I thought I might as well get it and not the normal dvd. Ended up geting Doctor Strange and now I have a use for my PS3. Picked up the reaping on HD DVD for 25 or 30 cant remember. Sucks this stuff is so high. Thought about geting Serenity on HD or Bluray but they have the collector's edition out on dvd now. I'm one for extras and would rather get more of them and the movie only in 480p then pay 10 bucks more for the movie and get less but a better picture. So unless the HD/bluray has all the same stuff as the 2 or 3 disc sets I'm going after the normal dvd. Although I will pay more for better picture and if it comes with all the same extras. So does anyone know of a site that says what extras are on the HD/Bluray and normal DVD. That way I don't have to look them up for each one and I can see what is a better buy on one page. I know the HD/Bluray should have all the same extras but some stuff tends to be on more then one disc. Anyway I'm done with my rambling.

If you don't get free shipping for $25 or more, check at www.filleritem.com to see about finding stuff to fill in the difference.

How have you been on this site so long and missed all these Hi-Def deals?

I have bought around 30 BR's in the past month and have not paid anywhere near the MSRP for one of them. They actually turn out cheaper or on par with their DVD counterparts!

That's a neat little tool right there, thanks

Thanks OP!

[dpf1978]

For the Best of Bluray Box Sets---are those in individual cases inside the cardbox case or is it 4 discs in a custom thingie?

[Pookymeister]

hmmm, so my purchase tally of BR is up to 40 now. (just from this sale)(Merry X-mas cheapy)

[KiySeph]

Ordered 16 Blocks and the Departed. Just got a PS3 recently and this brings my Blu Ray collection to 5.

Sweet.

[2Fast]

Picked up The Fountain and TMNT. One thought provoking movie, one fluff; gotta even it out somehow ;)

[trunks982]

title says new movies and box sets. what box sets?

[PKRipp3r]

Jesus. Maybe two of those movies are keepers..

Kiss kiss Bang Bang
Troy Directors Cut



Goodfellas > every other movie on that list

[dallow]

[Vader582]

Individually packaged, but I don't think they're sealed.Supposedly (from other sites talking about this deal) the discs are all individually wrapped and then rewrapped in the box.

[dpf1978]

Hrm, might jump on this, then. 8 movies for $58? That's sick.

I really don't buy DVDs often. If I do it is something that I get the day it comes out or I get it when I have the cash and nothing else is out that I want. Another thing is I really do not come to the DVD part of the site much.

[xmrblondex]

so let's see...

I ended up buying
300
beerfest
the departed
the fountain
a Christmas story
Blood diamond
and both boxsets
yikes!

[CokeCola]

Damn... those best of Blu-ray packs are some great deals, but I already ordered Training Day... doh!

Screw it, I'll order it anyway.

That brings my total for this sale to:

Best of Blu-ray Vol 1
Best of Blu-ray Vol 2
Training Day
Dog Day Afternoon
GoodFellas
A Scanner Darkly
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
The Departed

Total - $120 - 13 movies

Man... these BOGOs are bad enough, but Amazon's slowly adding and removing movies is. Just. Evil.

[Gameboy415]

tag (tempting!)

[addicted2games]

Ordered both Best of Blu Ray sets. Eight movies for $56 shipped. GREAT deal! Thanks OP!

[tightclaws]

Finally some movies I want in the updated deal, I bought the 300 and March of The Pengiuns.

I used to have that problem, but then I learned to be patient and just wait on deals.

What deviated me from blowing my money on retail prices was telling myself that there were better things to do with my money, like save it for a good sale when I can buy even more stuff with the same amount of money :-P

[CaseyRyback]

I cancelled my first order and picked up the box sets. 8 movies for 57 was better than 4 for 40 IMO even though some of the movies in the box set I already own or don't care for (going to just end up selling them or trading them on here).

http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=858316Very helpful! TYVM.

I'm thinking about picking up the 2 sets when I get paid tomorrow... I don't want some of the films, so hopefully I can ebay them for $10 or so each making it even better for the films I keep.

I'm sort of glad 300 on BD hit after I ordered initially - the HD-DVD version has an exclusive "Bluescreen Picture-in-Picture Version" of the movie (and a few other things which sound lame). Not sure if it's worth waiting on, but it at least makes me feel a bit better so I don't have to buy it and Departed... I want them but the cost is too much for me right now.

Looking over the "best of Blu Ray" titles... it sucks to read the reviews on these and feel these aren't really the Best of Blu Ray but rather a collection of "some of the first movies on Blu Ray", which is not the same thing. I like most of the movies in pack 2, but pack 1 I've either not seen the movie or don't want it. I think I'll have to sell Swordfish and Phantom of the Opera; ebay prices seem to be averaging about $10 a disc, which is exactly what I'd want for them. Hopefully this is the bottom already fallen out on these from the Amazon sale and it doesn't get much lower, but if I sell those two the reast everage $4.62 a piece, which is great even for DVD standards. I guess I'll be seeing tomorrow when I get paid...

[mykevermin]

Already received my four movies today, and placed my order Wednesday. Amazon usually doesn't roll that quickly. 4 movies for under $8.50 a piece is fuckin' sweet.

[Pookymeister]

got a bunch of movies today that i ordered yesterday. Pretty tight. Rest will come Monday

[cleaver]

The Best of sets aren't on the list anymore

[GrilledWitOnions]

The Best of sets aren't on the list anymoreOoooooof course :P Oh well, can't afford it anyway right now.

[Van]

Good thing I ordered mine last night.

Today I also went and ordered
300
The Departed
TMNT
The Last Samauri
Blood Diamond
Troy

So that's 14 Blu-Ray for 128.80. Not bad.

[newtype06]

Does anyone know how long will this deal last? Still have to wait for my paycheck and everything...

Well this is a second version of the list in the past 4 days or so. I wouldn't be surprised if they change it again before Bourne Ultimatum comes out on HD DVD next week.

[Locinator]

If they have casino royale I would jump on this deal along with the Departed.

[H.Cornerstone]

I missed out of Superman, I am one sad panda. :(

Get Casino Royale through that special Sony B2G1 free rebate offer that is floating around the interwebs. Just got to buy two of the movies on the list and then you can request Casino Royale.

Yup - mine is already shipped from that offer.

[Robobandit]

[Van]

Damn, ordered em on Dec. 6th and my Best of Blu Ray boxsets haven't even shipped yet. Good thing I wasn't buying them as gifts.
