#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Again, it's not an internet store. It's a type of store that you have to go to in person, and give your money in cash to another person behind the counter.The concept never really caught on.

A24 4,348 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 The postage must have been astronomical.No, it's a big electronics store in the center of town where I live. I live in the center too. It's a two minute walk. There's also a big supermarket (Delhaize) located beneath it and so I visit both stores regularly. In fact, today I walked around the supermarket while holding the Blu-ray of A.I. in my hand.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I know for Batman, it's the Deal Of The Week. I saw it and was like "Hot damn!" and was about to order... then I was like "These movies are shit." Needless to say I didn't buy the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 The only one I want on Blu-Ray for Batman is the first one. I really didn't like any of the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,378 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I did some research, and like Koray said the Batman box is the deal of the week at Amazon. Trent since you only want the first movie, I'd recommend the Blu Ray Book version, very nice packaging.As for Die Hard, apparently it was $25.99 on Amazon a few weeks ago, and $20.00 at Wal Mart a week before that.It's currently $25 at Wal Mart right now:http://www.walmart.com/ip/7976951 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it seems like the current price then. Glad it's gone down. It seems the box sets like this are going down in price now. At least ones that have been around for a while.

Needless to say I didn't buy the set.Well, if one only likes movie one and two, it's still a good deal at the moment. I'll wait until the Michael Keaton Batman movies drop below $10, and then buy them individually. I once spent way too much for all four movies on DVD; I don't need 3 & 4 again.

Wojo 2,453 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 They told me in 2000 my Sony Vega flatscreen CRT would last me 20 years!It all depends on what you want to do with it.If you're looking for that Sony TV to keep up with the improvements made in devices that send signals to TV's -- DVD, Blu-Ray, high-def broadcasts and cable-based signals -- or other high-tech TV's, then no, it won't keep pace those two decades, one of which is gone.But they didn't lie. If you protect the device from power surges, keep it from accumulating dust inside, service it as needed, and otherwise don't abuse it, it could very well keep working that long.We have an analog CRT mounted in a wooden box that lasted over 20 years, but now nearing 30 years, we just use it as a table.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Hell yeah! I'd so buy that. As for SG-1, that shouldn't be too hard for the early seasons, as long as they maintain the grain and not forget that it was 16mm film and should be preserved that way.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Universal is holding their best stuff hostage and the Indys SHOULD have been released since the fourth movie has been on Blu-ray since 2008. Dumb. It was rumored they were going to be released, but Spielberg intervened for some reason. ROTLA was broadcast on TV with a CGI freefall shot of the car falling off the cliff. Lucas probably changed them all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
