Is Universal doing something similar to Fox's Movie of the Day?

[hulk7999]

Ive noticed a different Universal movie has popped up on iTunes for $5.99 or 6.99 everyday. Yesterday it was Billy Madison, today is Get Him to the Greek. There is no app that I know about for this, but it would be awesome if other studios jumped in on this idea as well. Great for us impulse buyers...

if so what the deal for today?

I hope this trend continues, I wish touchstone would have stuck with it every week. I missed out on Armageddon and Con Air, money was tight at that time.

[Krizzle1]

You should keep a list of all titles that were discounted in the first post (like the FOX movie thread)


BTW what's todays deal?


Edit - its Notting Hill - $6.99

(I'll try to keep my 3rd post updated) <----

[Joeker]

I'd like to see them start offering more movies that can't be had via digital code. So far it looks like they've done only 3, altho the ones that have been offered with codes some of them the blu rays are OOP so they really hard to find (like Eternal Sunshine, and American Gangster).


I wanna see Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, We Hot American Summer, and Munich get offered.

[Krizzle1]

Not sure if I should grab today's deal...Serenity
Its got 8 point something on IMDB

Edit - Seen the trailer, doesn't look like my kinda movie

Would've bought this, but a quick search of my purchased items shows that I already have it. Hope I didn't pay more than $4.99 for it, or even better bought the BD version that came with the DC.

Basically a movie of the series Firefly which got prematurely cancelled. Great pick up for fans of that show, although the BD with the DC is selling on AMZ for $11.87 at the moment and will probably dip below $10 again at some point if you also want the BD too.

OK, just checked my purchase history on iTunes. Looks like I redeemed a code for Serenity, but that's probably why my copy is only in SD, not HD.

Again, I'm hesitant to pay $5 to upgrade from SD to HD since I usually only use iTunes DCs when traveling and watching on iPads and such.

At home in our HT we use BDs and even when streaming on TVs I usually use AMZ Prime or Vudu. We still don't have an Apple TV yet.

How does one find the deals?
Through BR tracker?

I concur, definitely a must-have for fans of the show, and a great watch for sci-fi fans in general!

[Krizzle1]

Todays deal is Little Fockers at $4.99 down from $14.99
Gonna give this one a miss, think ive only seen Meet the Fockers, wouldn't consider owning these movies even if they were lower than $4.99

Maybe another Universal title will pop up too, but cant see anything at the moment

[blurayfriend]

Really wish WB would join the bandwagon and start doing a deal of the day- mainly because they've only released UV's, not iTunes DC's for the last 3 years, so of all the studios I 'need' titles from they have the most.

Hmm, if they have a direct email (unlike Universal), im going to email them, ask them to consider doing this for the Christmas holidays...maybe like a deal a day for 25 days (starting 1st Dec)

[Krizzle1]

Hmm, there doesn't seem to be a discounted Universal title today

Is it over so soon?

I'm glad they're continuing the deals. Hopefully they won't keep raising the prices till it hits the $9.99 mark.
