Ah, I only checked the first page. I'll be waiting for that version to drop then.

On another note...

the Bond 50 Collection has dropped to $120 shipped through Amazon.co.uk.

That translates to roughly $5.45 per movie. Great deal assuming the set is Region Free and it most likely will be.

I placed a pre-order for it and figure once more info on the set comes out I'll determine if I want to keep it and sell off my originals.

Marvel's The Avengers (Four-Disc Combo: Blu-ray 3D/Blu-ray/DVD + Digital Copy) for $34.99 + $5 off coupon

For those not familiar with how Amazon coupons work on pre-orders, if you order at $34.99 + $5 off coupon and the price drops to $29.99 (as an example) before it ships? That $5 coupon is still on your order, so it'll be $24.99. You basically pre-order to lock in the coupon, I've gotten some great deals that way.

Pre-ordered. Thanks!

Just picked up the Coen Brothers collection for $20 - 4 movies: Fargo, Blood Simple, Miller's Crossing and Raising Arizona.

I want to back and pick up the Mel Brooks collection for $30 - it has Blazing Saddles / Young Frankenstein / Silent Movie / Robin Hood: Men in Tights / To Be or Not to Be / History of the World, Part 1 / The Twelve Chairs / High Anxiety

Silent Movie is impossible to find on BR anywhere!

Just depends how quickly you want it.

It really depends on other retailers because Amazon matches whoever has it at the cheapest, so sometimes that 50% off MSRP comes with the pre-order then bam, $5 off on top of that.

It's a gamble, but fortunately one that requires $0 until it ships, so you can always cancel if you feel a better price is gonna pop up!

They definitely price match, but I've noticed that when coupons are involved they usually bring the price down to a certain amount and don't go lower. These coupons up until not too long ago were only good at brick and mortar stores. Amazon used to price match the coupon price, but now offer the coupon themselves. I don't think I've seen it happen yet where you lock in the price with a coupon, and then it continues to drop even further. Maybe it's just that I'm usually still holding out for a lower price that doesn't get hit until after release. Now that I think about it, it might be because they've been offering these coupon discounts on the 3D/4 disc versions, and I usually just want the 2D versions. Either way, if you're ready to buy now it's a decent discount, and hopefully it goes even lower.

Amazon $10 Blu-ray sale. Many under $10 though.

Thanks for the heads up. I managed to find a few I didn't already own.
