I've purchase BDs as well as games from them (Family Video) in the past and they are legit. They do have some good deals from time to time. They normally ship via Media Mail, but they tend to be prompt in getting things out. I believe that some people take issue with the fact that they authorize your CC from the get go, but I believe that they don't fully charge you until the item ships. I've had to call them in the past to cancel some pre-orders and have not had any problems and usually get someone on the phone right away.

...BTW on this particular set the price seems high to me at this point. These are after all catalog titles and I would wait to see what the pricing is from AZ and ever Warner with their 25% off coupon...

jkwest · 02-24-2009, 09:22 PM

yes..FamilyVideo has had a good rep with the buyers on this site...

Blue_Blood · 02-24-2009, 10:22 PM

Yup... they are legit.

wormraper · 02-24-2009, 10:33 PM

Bestbuy has it for the same price

jurassic_pork · 02-24-2009, 10:39 PM

yea at this price I'll probably keep the UK import pre-order...half of this price...

handisnacks · 02-24-2009, 10:49 PM

Are they ever going to release just the 1989 Tim Burton Batman movie by itself? That's the only good Batman movie, ever.

Who would want Batman & Robin and Batman Forever ? Christ almighty.

Bummer, as this was $80 earlier and now it is not available.

ack_bak · 02-24-2009, 10:54 PM

If you can wait, I would. This averages out to be about $22 per catalog title, and that price just seems too high for me, especially Warner titles. I bet you see this thing on sale for $50 at some point soon.

Sammy · 02-24-2009, 11:05 PM

Good point. Waited this long, so why not wait longer to save money.

June 15th is the UK release?

Hmm, I guess I'll wait until then to see if the American price drops down before then and if it doesn't, I'll get that.

SpaceDog · 02-25-2009, 12:14 AM

I want all 4 titles - but not for this much.
I can hold off - I've been waiting forever - took long enough to get Batman Returns on a good DVD - by that time I already had Blu-Ray - so what's waiting longer?
