Star Wars The Complete Saga

[tsgee]

I thought this deserves it's own thread, especially since it's 9 months away.

Here are the links for the $99 pre-order ($15 per film):

My pre-order is in at FutureShop. Comes to $104.99 because of the free shipping!

Also available on Amazon sites:

.co.uk - £58.33 + £3.08 shipping = £61.41 ~ 94.26 CDN

.com - $89.99

.ca - 125.99

As usual .co.uk wins. Hopefully this will drop and it will be confirmed region free as many of the Fox BDs are region locked, so we will have to wait and see - but the UK distribution of the Clone Wars BDs are region free.

Wow first time that CDN pre order price has matched US prices. This could be a good year for us Canadians in terms of media pricing.

How do you see that?

Amazon.COM = 89.99

FS/BB 99.99

Amazon.ca = 125.99

Its progress, as FS/BB aren't at $120+, but still not as good given the dollar parity.

I have no doubt that Costco will get this...and it'll be cheaper to boot.

Amazon.com adds delivery and import fees which pushes the price over the BB and FS price.

No tax??

[agoofykindasuperman]

Probably a prairie person with only 5% tax lol

What other people said. 99.99 might not be the same as 89.99 but considering they could have easily charged 129.99, I will take it. The price at Amazon.CA will drop, they have been on the ball with dropping prices on movies that were on sale at Wal-Mart.

And you will be the first to let us know, right?

Under a $100 for all six and I'll be happy as a clam. And it clearly looks like it will definitely be below that. Since it's Star Wars I don't think I'm going to pre-order. FS and Walmart are going to get hundreds of these babies in. Sucks though that's it's 9 months away. Nothing is worse than waiting...

Yeah but import fees = taxes. You have to pay taxes at FS/BB but you do not have to pay these for Amazon.com orders. So they cancel each other out. It is just the shipping that is extra. If you order other items in the same order shipping can be brought down to lower as well.

Right now my order is in with amazon.com to catch any flash sales between now and release day. When it gets closer I'll decide if I keep the order there or move it. Currently even with shipping it is $3 less in total to my door than from FS/BB in Canada. If the $Cdn keeps rising it might even be a better deal.

I hope the actually give this some cover art and don't release it as it is displayed on the website.



They also offer just the original movies:



Or just the prequels:

Canceled my amazon.com order. I'll pay $2 more to get it quicker.

Secondly, I hate people who pay 5% tax. =P

Since amazon.com does not charge your CC until they ship and they also often have short period sales there is really no harm in keeping an order open with them. You get the lowest price that ever was during the time your order was there.

The FutureShop site mentions that the coverart isn't final so I don't think that's what the sets will look like.

My issue is, I'd forget about it and end up buying it twice =P

I just get depressed knowing its still 9 months away =(

I don't know, I kinda like the sleek and subtle looks of them.
