Amazon raises early release Sony prices. - Blu-ray Forum

Cowboy300 · 12-11-2008, 02:47 AM

This probably doesn't belong in the hot deals thread...but Amazon raised the early release of Sony (Blackhawk Down, A Knight's Tale, The Patroit, etc.) by approx. 5 dollars ea. What kind of justification could they give for doing that?

(Mods...please move to a more appropiate thread if need be)

Cos they decided to include those titles in a 'B2G1' sale whereby you are actually paying for the supposedly free title. The increase in price is to offset the loss they will incur if they were to really give you 1 title free of charge...

Black Hawk Down BD was 14.95 previously.... now it's $19.95
What about 3:10 to yuma? $27.99 now? .... FRICKING MAD... It used to be one of the titles that was in the Best Bargin section!!!

I think it might still be marginally cheaper if u pick some (not all) of the titles from this sale, it all really depends if there are 3 titles that you had the intention of picking up in the list... else you'll probably want to give this a miss and wait for the prices to drop to their 'pre-sale' amount.
