Sale Question....

[NoQuestion]

Alright, so we are seeing a bunch of sales recently, BB, CC, Frys, and now Amazon. So my question is, should we expect another MAJOR sale come closer to Christmas? I would imagine that Amazon would have one last big sale either price cuts across a ton of catalog or maybe a B1G1F or B2G1F....

What do yall think?

well amazon is having a B1G1F now and theres no reason why anyone would have a promotion before christmas... what you should really get excited for is boxing day lol

This sale is clearly designed to counter Transformers (or at least control its damage). I don't know that I would expect another sale of this magnitude before the holidays, since Blu-ray has a formodible lineup every other week from now until then.

Individual retailers may indeed have sales, but I don't know that we'll see another studio-wide BOGO offering before the holidays.

Well ive already took advantage of Frys(8) and just set up amazon(8).... oh well if no more sales happen then ill be perfectly content with purchasing new releases each week till the end of the year

seriously, with the high instore prices of bd's (especially new releases) these promos are more than welcomed

Yep. HD DVD will have the first $200+ million summer of 2007 blockbuster releasing, so it makes sense to counter that now, but the Blu-ray camp might not need one later, with those big summer blockbusters of their own out there (especially if a $399 PS3 shows up).

i'd say it's possible to have another when Bourne Ultimatum comes out for HD DVD in december.

Does anyone know if I buy the same title at Amazon and BB can I open the one from BB and just return the one from Amazon to the BB store? I wouldn't normally do that, but since there are such big sales I want to ensure that I get the titles that I want plus having the sale count towards Transformers week.

Should all the titles I want be in stock tomorrow? I just want to make sure I get The Prestige. I waited a couple of hours on the $9.99 sale and I missed out on The Patriot and Black Hawk Down.

There may be another one by one of the exclusive BD studios when Shrek 3 is released. I see these sales as a "take that" to Paramount for jumping over.
