I got an email from Amazon today showing select Blu-Rays at $14.99. Here is a link to the list of movies "as low as" $14.99:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=pe_20890_11363920_pe_g1/?docId=1000340341 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Ffeatur e.html%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref%255F%3Dpe%255F20890%255F1 1363920%255Fpe%255Fg1%26docId%3D1000340341&tag=cheapassgam08-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957)
However, in the email there was also a mention of a Blu-Ray Gold Box this Thursday, Feb 19!

Wow, thanks to this promotion I learned that Starship Troopers was nominated for best visuals... heh...

OMG...High School Musical or Gandhi in crisp, clear Blu Ray? Damn economy, which should I buy? The Gandhi disc does have Blu Ray live...that could be a clincher. Thursday can't come fast enough!
Seriously, am I the only one who thinks these ad pairings as pretty bizarre?

I hope your not dissing on Gandhi, classflirt...:hot:
I don't really have the money but I'm quite curious what the Gold Box will be.

I'd be in for the Butterfly Effect if it actually showed up in the link.

Nice, I'm looking forward to the 19th now! I'm probably going to pick up Gandhi today at Best Buy though. Haven't seen that classic since the high school days 6-7 years ago.

yes, considering the "pairings" in the ad are just movies that came out this week

Here's hoping (for me ;) ) for a Lost Season 4 BR deal.. I've been holding out ever since the S3 Gold Box deal (Still was the cheapest I've ever seen for S3 new)...

Damn no Fifth Element!
i think fifth element is $12.99 at frys and today might be the last day (not sure). i dont know why but i cant pull the trigger on that movie. there were so many copies at my frys but theres something bout that movie that makes me not want to buy it...
i hope they re-up the band of brothers Bluray that they had a couple weeks ago for the goldbox deal .also prayin for bourne trilogy (weird thing is i never saw supremacy or ultimatum but heard really good things about it so i really really want it lol)

Supremacy is a bit bland but incredibly well made; Ultimatum is one of the best action movies I've ever seen. The trilogy is a damn good Blu-Ray set though...
I'd like to see the Dirty Harry or Planet of the Apes sets on sale personally. Or maybe some of those mediocre but enjoyable action movies I've been waiting to go Blu on (Perfect Storm, Crimson Tide and Enemy of the State I'm looking at you...)

The part in Supremacy where he owns someone with a rolled up magazine was worth the entire movie for me.

thanks for both of your insight.
to bWozar...don't know if you care but they had the planet of the apes trilogy on dvd though for the gold box deal today. i have it claimed in my cart. if u want me to get it for you and js pay shipping, let me know soon cause it will go back to its original price at midnight i believe.

Hey Dash, thanks for the offer, I appreciate. I actually saw that today but I'm trying to stick to buying only Blu-Rays now.

hold your horses people. i got the same e-mail.
if i'm interpreting this email correctly, i believe that thursday's "blu-ray gold box" just applies to the deal of the day. it says right there on the icon:
This Thursday: Blu-Ray Deal of the Day.
i don't think it meant that it's going to be an all-day blu-ray gold box event. correct me if i'm mistaken.

do any of you know what time the DotD goes active? If it's a great deal, it won't last long. I'm hoping for a Dirty Harry boxset or Casablanca deal myself! =)

Since it's just the deal of the day (rather than an all day event) it will likely be either a Blu Ray Player or a boxed set. Not much chance of it being a single title.

My hope:
Firefly + Serenity = $47.99

Hmmm. I don't have any of those action titles on Blu Ray.

Bah humbug. The action pack is the only decent one and I already own two of the titles.

02-19-2009, 06:34 AM
what a horrible deal of the day. they should've let us choose the three to put it. i have at least one of both the comedy pack and the action pack. no use there.

i was wondering....for casino royale, is the collectors edition worth it? because the one in this package deal is NOT the collectors edition. r the "goodies" worth the extra bucks?

Not bad. I'd have gone for pack #1 but I already have 2 of the movies.

I wish they let us pick our own packs-already own most of this. Still good to see prices come down.

I might have to get pack 1 at that price. I have all of them on DVD, but none on blu-ray.

ehhh those deals suck you can get them used from amazone cheaper lol
joeyatog
02-19-2009, 12:25 PM
yeah, these packs are an ok deal...i'd get the comedy one if i didn't already have them all on dvd. i just dont think it's worth upgrading for me.

02-19-2009, 12:49 PM
Got pack 1. $11.32 a piece for those three movies is an incredible deal.

02-19-2009, 01:01 PM
These deals are complete shit. Come on, Don't Mess With The Zohan, eeeeewwwwww!!!!!! Who in the fuck wants to actually "OWN" that movie and admit to owning it?
