Trying to get The Prestige at a good price. - Blu-ray Forum

Marlow · 04-06-2011, 01:21 AM

I couldn't find a general thread for the movie. I've been wanting to pick this up but it never goes on sale. It's been $19.99 at amazon for a while now and hasn't changed. Has anyone seen this on sale or gotten it at a good price?

I remember getting an extra free copy of that movie filling out a survey once. You should check ebay. They are selling for about 8-9 dollars plus shipping.

I lucked into getting the Prestige as a blind buy for about $10 c. 6 months ago. But I love the film. And I think this is one of those titles that is fully worth it at $20. Buy and enjoy it. It's an amazing film imho.

I got it for $10 from Amazon. Just be patient it'll come down again.

Agreed...my BD that gets the most repeat viewing.

You should be able to find a very good or like new version of The Prestige on eBay for around $15.

I bought it recently as part of HMVs 2 for £18 deal. That's £9, brand new, with free shipping...

But as with any BD purchase, you want it cheap, best just check out the usual places - Amazon and Play including sellers on both sites, HMV, eBay, maybe webuy (CEX). I doubt better deals can be got from elsewhere most of the time. I don't mind about my BDs being second hand so end up getting most of mine from Amazon sellers.

I have Amazon Prime so i won't have to group items. Even if i got it used for a few bucks cheaper I'd still have to pay for shipping. I'd rather get it from Amazon or actually go a store but i guess i'll check ebay too.

wessew10 · 04-06-2011, 03:04 AM

Check the new and used alternate offers on Amazon. You can now buy it for $1.00 cheaper new including shipping than with Prime. I have Prime also but increasingly I have been able to find deals on Amazon whereby the combined price including shipping is cheaper than the Amazon Prime price. I have never had an issue with delivery going this route. Check it out...

i got my copy around 5 months ago on amazon for 10 dollars. a few days later the price went back up to 15

Taipan · 04-06-2011, 03:10 AM

I bought my copy for $10. It will eventually drop.

500_Days_of_Night · 04-06-2011, 03:16 AM

Lucked up and found mine used at a local place for around $10 I believe. Who on earth would dare take this movie and pawn it off?

manicsounds · 04-06-2011, 02:03 PM

Is this part of the Lionsgate deal? probably will go down in price if you get the rerelease.

dwane5 · 04-06-2011, 02:20 PM

i think i got a free copy when i bought my PS3, 5 or 10 free DVD offer.

i think ive seen it once.

have yet to watch the blu i have. may give this another shot!

Dutch Loven · 05-19-2011, 04:52 PM

the price just dropped again to $9.99

i've been waiting for this to drop in price too. thankfully this site has price tracking!

The Chris Nolan movie? Walmart here in Canada has it for $10. I bought it on dvd elsewhere for the same price and then returned it when I found the bluray for the same. Good movie and wonderful on bluray.

Got mine this week there too

bhampton · 05-19-2011, 05:13 PM

I got it free like someone else said because I did a survey or something.

I also got the Guardian but I had rented it and that movie was way boring so I traded that one in unopened for Eye Wide Shut at a local shop.

Ite · 05-19-2011, 08:27 PM

20 bucks is worth it for a movie this good.
