Yeah, it is that price in-store as well, saw it there this morning, they had loads of copies.

cflames89 · 01-06-2009, 11:00 PM

Still not sure if this is worth it though.

Was picking up Pineapple Express and saw a bunch of copies on the shelf, was thinking of getting it but passed. Will probably wait til it drops in price a little more.

I wish Pineapple was 24.99, I held off on it till it drops a bit. I love the movie but 32.99 is harsh

Me and most Canadians sadly

Plus even if we could get a good deal from the states, exchange and amazon's import tax ruins it

I refuse. The only time I did it was for the dark knight. I was lucky that I purchased most of my blu's when our currency was good but most of them I purchased thru here. If you wait a couple weeks I guarantee the movie you want will be here in the trading forum.

You know, sometimes I read reviews of movies and I end up really liking poorly reviewed films. Case in point, I really enjoyed the poorly reviewed Death Race. I saw it at the theaters and purchased the BD and watched it twice already. It's a fun over the top movie experience.

Then there's Bangkok Dangerous. What can I say about this piece of garbage film that has already not been said??? All I know is I wish I had my 2 hours back. In this case, I should have listened to the reviews and not bothered to rent it.

Agreed, $32.99 is a bit pricy for a movie. I even see some Blu-ray movies selling for $34.99

I am willing to to be patient and wait for prices to drop or for a good deal to pop up somewhere. Right now I'm enjoying the older classics that are priced under $20. For example, I took full advantage of Future Shop's boxing week deals and bought over $400 worth of Blu rays from them. Even got the Matrix collection for $69.99! I took advantage of Wal-marts sales and got a whole bunch of classics for under $15. I'm going to take advantage of chcanada.com's deals and get a whole bunch of hits for $14. Also going to take advantage of dvdsnextgengaming.com sales on all their trilogies like Spiderman, Band of Brothers, and Austin Powers, which are all hot prices!

If I keep pacing it this way, instead of giving in to urge....I should save a ton of money in the end.

nolook · 01-11-2009, 05:34 PM

its a good movie but this price is kinda high...ill only buy blockbuster movies like dark knight/iron man for these type of prices

Sorry, but no. If you buy it alone, it's $28.95 + shipping. So it's way more !

Agree on both counts. BK was frickin' horrible. Can Cage even act anymore? Talk about mumbling.

DR was completely over the top.

Me too. When DVDs came out, they were more expensive than VHS tapes that cost more to produce than DVDs. But it was new and they knew people who had the money to buy the players would pay for the movies at higher price.

But, the prices never came down. So now $27 for a new release on DVD is common.

Blu-rays are being sold at $35 and they hope you start to get used to it and consider it the new price point. Well not this guy. If everybody were to boycott any blu-ray disc more than $25, the prices would come down.
The only 2 titles I have right now is Saw ($13) and Planet Earth ($40 through Amazon UK).

Even though I'd love to have Dark Knight, I'm not paying $32 for it.

JackDurden · 01-26-2009, 06:26 PM

I'm trying to budget what Blus I pick up, going by what the cheapest ones are, and what ones I love and want to pick up. The most I've ever paid was $100 for Band of Brothers, and $35 for TDK, but now i'm not paying any more than $25, and am going to maybe see what previously viewed discs I can find.
