Amazon prices The Coppola Restoration Giftset on Bluray at 49.99 - Matches Best Buy

[Teodoric79]

I've been checking this every couple of hours since Sunday and it finally happened them matching Best Buy on the price for this.

You can also get $10 off if you purchase Eagle Eye on Blu Ray for 16.99 I saw this first on Slickdeals but S_G also posted on CAG so credit goes to both.

Can anyone who owns this recommend the BD version? I read a couple reviews that said it was almost too good of transfer and it looks too sharp and bright instead of the dark movie (mood wise) it was originally.

Any opinions?

[n8rockerasu]

Yeah, I've read the same thing...that it's too bright (especially in outdoor scenes). Allegedly, it changes some of the colors quite a bit too. I've gone back and forth with upgrading my SD set several times, but keep deciding that these are movies I want to look gritty and grainy. I don't really want a different experience when I watch The Godfather.

Sure, I wouldn't mind better clarity, but I think having to compromise those other areas just isn't worth it. Sorry, I know that doesn't really help in terms of a first person account, but I'm in the same boat as you. I'd love to hear someone convince me otherwise.

gona pay close attention to this thread..

[Teodoric79]

The deal is still active as of now

[SonictheHedgehog1337]

I watched the dvds dozens of times and I watched the blu rays a couple times. I prefer the blu rays much more.

If you buy this you can also get Eagle Eye on BluRay for only 6.99$ extra using this link

you can buy it in-store at bestbuy and use the $10 coupon from eagle eye and it would be cheaper, no?!

This is one of the best Blu-ray Discs of 2008. The picture is outstanding and the best this film will ever look, period.

I am in the same boat. Ultimately, I probably will "upgrade" and give my old set to my brother. I'll just wait for the set to come down mightily in price. $30 or so, which'll be a couple of years and I'm ok with that. A good source for screen stills and version comparison that I always use is DVD Beaver.

I plan on picking these movies up eventually, I just don't feel the need to spend $50 right now.

Not sure if the offer is expire but if you got dvd set there is an upgrade rebate

[dmaul1114]

Thanks OP!

This trilogy is one of the few things in my DVD collection that I was looking to upgrade, and I had a $25 Amazon GC sitting around so only $24.99 out of pocket for me.

I'll give the dvd set to my girlfriend (she may have her own copy already) or parents probably.

[luvmysegadc]

Thx, OP. I so would like to jump on this, but I'm watching my pennies.

On a side note, doesn't this 4th pic from the Amazon page remind you of Terrance & Phillip?:lol:

[munch]

Will this come with the $10 MIR from Paramount?

[dmaul1114]

It should. I think that rebate is packed in with every Blu Ray set.

Will this come with the $10 MIR from Paramount?

Any more details on this rebate?

[juggernot91]

One of the better films I've seen in recent memory and worth the price, certainly with the drop.

[fuzzyfuk]

Finally they matched. Amazon prime here I come.
