New Deals Section - Blu-ray Forum

Smadawho · 02-12-2009, 02:22 AM

Why is the New Deals tracker for the Canadian Amazon not functioning correctly? I see that 1 hour ago Wall-E the 3 disc edition dropped in price from 37 something to 24.99. That's a dramatic drop, and one I have been waiting for since over 30 bucks for a blu-ray is too much let alone over 37, yet when I check out Amazon the old price still remains there! Is there a delay? Does Blu-ray.com receive these price updates over an hour before Amazon does? Also the Top Deals section is seriously lacking as well, there are TONS of titles under 20 dollars yet almost none of them appear in this section. I love coming to this website for news and to track release dates and what not but it's getting frustrating not getting accurate information from any of the provided features.

Upon further investigation I have found that the updates flagged with a Canadian flag in the deals section are in fact referring to prices at Amazon.com! This is of course a major flaw and of no use to Canadian users as the dollar currently sucks and we have to pay shipping costs thus eliminating ANY potential savings from buying off Amazon in the first place. Hope this gets fixed in the future.
