Amazon's Early April's Fool Joke?

[ImPulSive]

WTF? Did anybody else get an e-mail from Amazon this morning with these ridiculously over priced bundles? Not sure what these guys are smoking but I'd like some of that too. Just hoping it is an early April's Fools joke.

http://www.amazon.com/Blu-ray-Action-Bundle-Casino-Hellboy/dp/B001OBFW16/ref=pe_13710_11502390_as_img_3/
$73.49

If bought separately at Amazon's current prices:
Casino Royale $19.99
Blackhawk Down $14.99
Hellboy $14.99
for a grand total of $49.97, a whopping $23.52 LESS than the bundle price! WTF Amazon?

Weeds Seasons 1-3 Blu-Ray $82.49
Separately S1 $16.99 S2 $17.99 S3 $17.99 = $52.97 $29.52 LESS than the bundle price.

I thought the whole idea behind buying a bundle was to save money? Sad on so many different levels...

Those Sony bundles have always been overpriced.

Wrong forum. This should be posted in the Retail/Shopping Discussion.

Amazon has been slowly but surely losing my business! Especially when it comes down to them matching Best Buy's prices! I'll just shop at Best Buy unless its ridiculously over-priced!

This is not a hot deal. Wrong forum.

No kidding. I used to buy everything from Amazon. Any more I pre-order blu-rays on Amazon when they are first announced. Sometimes I save quite a bit. For instance Twilight Ultimate $69.99 then jumped to $79.99 a few days later. I've been buying from wbshop when ever they have a coupon greater than 30%. I've been buying anime from buy.com and tower.com. For instance a show called shuffle is about $65 on Amazon and $42 on Buy.com. I've been buying from DVDEmpire for the $20 movies like Enemy at the Gates and what not and use their $15 off coupon. I'll just cancel whatever is the highest. Any more, 2/5th's of the movies I buy on Amazon are cancelled for cheaper prices. I do get a few great deals on Amazon with their Gold Box offers.

The great news is I check this site often and saved a ton. In the past few months I have probably saved $90 that went to more blu-ray movies.
