Question about Amazon B2G1's - Blu-ray Forum

Sussudio · 01-23-2009, 10:54 PM

I've only taken part in the last few B2G1s and I'm realizing there were some movies from a previous B2G1 I wish I had purchased. My question to any of you who have taken part in numerous Amazon promos...is there a chance they would have a B2G1 identical to a previous one offered? I know they constantly recycle titles in their promos, but what I'm asking is if they would have basically the exact same (or very similar) B2G1 ever again?

(fyi the titles i was interested in were Cool Hand Luke, The Wild Bunch, and Butch Cassidy offered in a B2G1 maybe 2-3 months ago...i'm sure everyone remembers it)

Been around since the B2G1 deals (I remember some B1G1, heh) from the format war days, and let me tell ya... yep, they do tend to use some of the same ol' titles. Especially a lot of Warner and Sony titles. Don't really see a lot of Disney stuff in them.

I haven't actually bought anything from these sales, but I've been checking them out since oct and a lot of them are the same titles. It seems there are some fresh ones but they do recycle a lot of them

The same titles are used over and over again for the most part. You do see a new selection pop up here and there. It is Sony's and Warner's way of dumping slow moving catalog titles.

This is true. Just about every sale that Amazon or any other store has, it is for older Warner or Sony titles. Lionsgate too.
