Blu-ray News and Deals

[Jay 46,244]

Seriously. The cheapest the complete collection set (which is just all the individual season releases + The Plan in a slipcase) has been is $95 ($23.75 per season if you count The Plan as a freebie, or $18.99/release if the count the Plan as equal to the other seasons in value)

I really am not into getting tv shows on blu ray, but if I did BSG would be one.

I would love to find Hugo and North By Northwest deals this week, has anyone spotted either?

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,388]

And you are right to do so. I also never visit those sites....

[Wojo 2,458]

But if you can produce a receipt for those sites....

I'm hoping for Hugo too. The Hitchcock box is down to $150 right now. Hopefully that gets a good price cut. Don't know who would pay $225 on release day for that.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

I don't want all those movies on the Hitchcock box. I just want a few, I already have Psycho. I am not a huge fan of Vertigo. the movie doesn't work for me.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,388]

Same here. I admire aspects of it, and the score is great, but it's too....melodramatic for my taste.

[pixie_twinkle 60]

Do you have Vertigo?

No, I only live round the corner.

Boom boom!

[JoeinAR 1,957]

tomorrow Sidney Lumet's underrated film 1982 film Deathtrap will become available on Bluray. It's a fun film with a twist that at the time was much more shocking than today. It features a very unique and pleasant score by Johnny Mandel. I may have to make a purchase.

[Koray Savas 2,260]

Today I got a pile of packages containing:

Rashomon

Gomorrah

The Friends Of Eddie Coyle (first DVD I've bought in years)

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

The Mel Brooks Collection

[Jay 46,244]

[Marian Schedenig 11,695]

Amazon UK has a Black Friday lighning deal on the Hitchcock box set right now.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

got Hugo for 8.96

[Koray Savas 2,260]

From where?

Just saw that it's $10 on Amazon. Picked it up.

There are so many fucking cheap Blus right now it's making me crazy!! I did miss Brave though, completely forgot to come back to the computer to get that one, but I think it's scheduled to be on sale again tomorrow.

Need For Speed: Most Wanted went down another $5 so I cancelled my previous order and replaced it.

from Amazon, used my free shipping coupon. it was 10.79 but they had another seller for 8.96, they had one left. I snagged it.

Just got back from Walmart. I spent 68.01 including tax, got Brave, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, We Bought a Zoo, Cabin in the Woods, Hunger Games, Prometheus, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunters, X2-Xmen United, all on blu and Big Bang Theory Season Five.

[Koray Savas 2,260]

So far my nabs are:

The Adventures Of Tintin

Hugo

Ruby Sparks

The Shawshank Redemption (Blu-ray Book)

Planning to get the Indiana Jones set, Firefly, The Hunger Games, and Brave tomorrow. There are several other titles I wouldn't mind picking up but don't really need to own. Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes was tempting at $10. I'd like to see it again, really enjoyed it in theaters. Flicks like The King's Speech, Magic Mike, and Haywire I'd like but don't really want to blind buy.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

Rise of the Planet of the Apes was 3.96 at Wally world in blu

[Koray Savas 2,260]

Great deal. I would have bought it at that price. Just ordered Kill Bill Vols. 1 and 2 and Reservoir Dogs for $12 total. Tarantino collection is finally complete.

[A. A. Ron 2,485]

Picked up Kingdom of Heaven, Sherlock Holmes, and The Matrix this morning from my neighborhood walmart. $3.96 a piece!

[JoeinAR 1,957]

picked up Kill Bill 1 and 2 this morning at BB for 3.99 each. I wanted Ingloreous Basterds but it was not on sale. The original was but I'm not interested in it. I can get it at Wally world cheap later. Next up Dark Knight Rises.

[AI 0]

Joey you are large, solidly built man. Some others may not come out as sweetly of roses smelling!

You got some good flicks there though

[King Mark 3,975]

I got a few James Bond movies. The 5 first ones with Sean Connery. I've never seen them in widescreen or HD.

I saw the Indy movie set for 49$. 15$ cheaper than what I paid

[Koray Savas 2,260]

The Indy set was supposed to be $30 today on Amazon but I never saw it drop. Maybe for Cyber Monday. Didn't realize you were a Tarantino fan, Joey.

[Jay 46,244]

No, its supposed to be $30 tomorrow, not today

[pixie_twinkle 60]

Picked up Alien Anthology for 19.99 from Best Buy, along with Final Destination 5 for 7.99.

[Wojo 2,458]

I have at least $35 off at Best Buy so I'll buy a player tomorrow.

[Koray Savas 2,260]

No, its supposed to be $30 tomorrow, not today

Oho, my mistake.

[AI 0]

Picked up Alien Anthology for 19.99 from Best Buy,

Nice, well done.

along with Final Destination 5 for 7.99.

Ehh, it's shite. Better that 8 dollars for beer.

[filmmusic 3,270]

BOND BOX ONLY $99.99!!!

20 Hours left!

[Marian Schedenig 11,695]

According to this thread, the US Bond 50 set contains the cut version of CR, while the UK set has the uncensored cut.

They also say you won't see the difference though.

[filmmusic 3,270]

What do the missing 24 seconds inlude?

by the way, UK set of Indiana Jones Collection Blurays:

Lightning Price: 29.99 pounds (approx. 37 euros)

It's actually €35 at amazon.de right now, so depending on where you're at and what shipping costs you (don't) have to pay, one or the other may be cheaper.

I'm getting my Indy box from amazon.de and the Hitchcock set from Amazon UK.

Slightly tempted by the US Bond offer. If the customs ignore the package, it would be a *really* good deal, even with shipping to Europe. Even with taxes, it'd still be cheap, but not that extremely. The customs hassle (which may well mean 3 additional weeks of shipping, pre-Christmas) and the CR cuts have me hesitating.

[Jay 46,244]

The "cut" version is the only version of CR I've seen (3 times now). Its fine! Who cares about some extra frames of violence

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,388]

Ignorance!

Since you haven't seen both versions you cannot judge!

[Wojo 2,458]

I would prefer the shorter version. Less time watching silly Bond movies.

[A. A. Ron 2,485]

Why does anyone even care? The cuts to CR are so slight that they're hardly even noticeable.

In other news, there's still no sign of the supposed price cut for Dr. Jones. Not yet anyway.

[Marian Schedenig 11,695]

Why does anyone even care? The cuts to CR are so slight that they're hardly even noticeable.

Then why were they cut?

[A. A. Ron 2,485]

Because the film makers knew their work didn't deserve the R rating (and international equivalents) that the stupid ratings boards were about to arbitrarily slap onto it. They also knew they'd make less money without a PG-13.

Thanks.

Moreover, since you're buying the Uk Hitchcock box, you might want to know that a film of this (I don't remember which) is cut too, in comparison with the USA set.

(searching for info now...)

edit: Hmmm. it seems I may be wrong.

The only thing i found is that the UK set is missing the mono track from Vertigo.

But i was almost sure that i had seen something about different cuts of a movie in Uk and USA sets.

[Koray Savas 2,260]

Still no drop for Indy.

[scallenger 665]

It better not be one of those 1 hour deals while I'm at work. I'll be pissed! LOL
