I've noticed the price of blu-rays increasing quite dramatically over the last year or so. And sorry, but all Disney movies are notoriously overpriced. Toy Story 3 is $34.99 at Best Buy Canada, Disney's A Christmas Carol $39.99, Up $38.99, and I could go on. The saddest part is that we are pretty much at parity dollar wise.

Canada can suck that way but trust me when I say I rarely spend more than $30 on a movie (unless it is something special like a box set "Alien Anthology" type or Criterion/Criterion-worthy - think "Apocalypse Now").

TS3 can be had much cheaper at Walmart and was under $25 on day one.

Many of the Disney blu-rays start off super high (yes over $30) on Amazon and other retailers. I used to be one who complained about it as well. Both Up and Monsters Inc were both over $30 on Amazon. Then when release day hit I paid less than $20 for both. And even if the price were $32 (which it won't be) it will be $22-$24 after coupon. Unfortunately there's still many blu-ray movies in the mid $20 range on release day and Disney is almost always cheaper than any other retailer out there if you buy on release week if you are willing to print off a free coupon.

nathan_393 : I believe you I'll rarely spend over $20 myself. I find if you wait long enough it will be on sale for a good price. Plus I order about 75% of my movies for amazon.com instead of .ca due to the large price differences.

Ok, enough *****ing about pricing...I find The Incredibles on dvd has great PQ so I can wait a while for the price to become reasonable. Although I am excited about its blu release. It's about time I say.

This movie is priced at $31.99 now, but it won't be once it gets closer to release. There is no reason to complain about Disney charging a price that high when it won't be that high when it actually matters. That is before even factoring in the coupon since Disney always has a coupon for every one of their movies.

Personally, I'm still waiting for Amazon's Disney coupon before preordering. (The BHC2 coupon just expired; waiting to see if this or AiW51 is next.) Those of you who preorder now will miss out on that coupon once it hits.

"My Account" --> "Open Orders" --> "Cancel Items". Then re-order.

LOL, so true.

Will the coupon offer appear if you've already ordered it? You may have to wait till the coupon hits the forums, then cancel, wait for the coupon to appear, and THEN reorder.

All in all, you could spend a worse ten minutes.

Exactly. I never understand why some people are so "preorderphobic". Amazon don't charge you until they're ready to ship. Plus you get to lock the price, it can then only go down, not up.

Exactly! You may get lucky, they may label it a super-low price as a typo, but they always honor those! I do it for the lock-in.

Actually right now at Target the 2 disc "Toy Story 3" is 29.99 and the version with DVD & Digital Copy is like 34.99 I think.

I think it is natural to worry about price. Some things don't drop like we want them, or they do after the fact. I paid $22 for "The A-Team" at Target, Day 1. Decent enough but 6 days later it was $15 in store, $13 on Amazon.

Even still, all you needed was to take it back to Target with receipt. The whole thing took about5 minutes and I got my money back.

Exactly (again). I'm not sure why, but Amazon had How to Train Your Dragon listed for $18.99 when they first put it up for pre-order. I put my pre-order in when I saw that because I knew I would be locked-in for no higher than that price. There was little chance it would be any cheaper anywhere else, and yes, the price eventually went up before release day. It didn't matter for me though.

Exactly! What you said! Exactly!

I think they're putting out a new version of Cars because there's a sequel on the way.

Yeah, it looks like they're considering it to be a "classic" Pixar film and re-releasing it in that fashion to remind people about the franchise before they release the sequel.

Cars may not be a "classic", but I enjoyed it a helluva lot more than Finding Emo (not misspelled).

We'll just have to agree to disagree on that one, although i will admit to having seen Nemo a few too many times over the course of the past decade.

Since he emphasized "Finding Emo" was "not misspelled", I suspect he may NOT be referring to Finding Nemo.

I think the reissue is as much because Disney is trying to reissue most (if not all) their catalog BDs as combo packs as it is the sequel. They've already reissued the original Tinker Bell as a combo (TB2 & TB3 were combos from day one). On 2/8, they're issuing BD/DVD combos of Dinosaur, Chicken Little, Meet the Robinsons, Enchanted & Beverly Hills Chihuahua (all originally BD-only) and The Princess And The Frog (originally BD-only & BD/DVD/DC combo--I assume Bolt was skipped due to the pending BD3D). Same on 3/1 with the first three POTCs as BD/DVD (though the fourth one may also influence that).
