Amazon.ca Boxing Day Deals - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

Does anyone remember the $10.00 coupon from last year? I wonder if they will offer it again, even though a LOT of people abused it by making multiple accounts.

Ya, its 3 am for me

at least i am switching myself around from overnights so I won't have any issues staying up that late

Trying to be sneaky and have my order ready so I can just click process order asap.

I tried this trick and noticed that a few items have already dropped to levels comparable to FS/BB 30 minutes early

Obviously without seeing what you have on order I wouldn't be able to tell, but I find it hard to believe that your order of 50 titles from Amazon.ca couldn't be drastically cheaper in price compared to the likes of Columbia House or Amazon.co.uk. You'd have to only be buying their cheapest titles. Any new single-title non-Disney Blu-ray would have to be less than ~$18 to not be beaten by CH. And most sets are probably cheaper through .com/.co.uk. If you're not a CH member I'd be willing to compare prices for you and see how much it would cost for you.

Well the sale is 1 minute from officially going live, but i see The Dark Knight is at $9.99.

D-Blitz · 12-26-2009, 07:05 AM

Weak. I was hoping they'd match One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Shawshank with London Drugs.

wouwou · 12-26-2009, 07:06 AM

The USUAL Amazon.COM prices are better than the boxing day Amazon.CA prices

God .ca is sad, SAD I say!

ArrestedDevelopment · 12-26-2009, 07:07 AM

Damn. That's a dreadful selection of blus they put up for sale. Funny how they included The Departed in their Boxing day section when it was the same price months ago.

dvd_mazter · 12-26-2009, 07:07 AM

Wow... disappointing, nothing really that I wanted on sale...hopefully they might have some quick deals later on in the day

D-Blitz · 12-26-2009, 07:11 AM

They just matched One Flew. I'm in.

Johnny Vinyl · 12-26-2009, 07:16 AM

Very, very disappointed! I saw they matched some titles, but not enough for me to buy when I can pick it up later today elsewhere.

I wanted to share the few bucks I have with Amazon.......they won't be getting any this year.

white psp core pack for 19.96? clearly a price error but ordered it just for kicks

Junkmale · 12-26-2009, 07:26 AM

I just bought the Die Hard blu-ray set for $34.99 from Amazon.ca then read a review later and found out that Live Free or Die Hard is the theatrical version and not the unrated version, so I can canceled my order. If you don't mind the theatrical version then go for it.

As you noted in the other thread, It was only released in a rated format on Blu-ray. Only thing missing is a couple of curse words

inabsentia · 12-26-2009, 07:42 AM

I can't believe I set my alarm for this. Most items in my cart rose in price rather than drop

I ordered it too, but noticed another title I wanted was on sale and canceled and tried to reorder but wasn't able to add it any more. Looks like they spotted it. I think they're going to be canceling this one.

D-Blitz · 12-26-2009, 07:54 AM

Other good deals:

Fight Club, $12.99
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, $9.99

inabsentia · 12-26-2009, 07:55 AM

I think Shawshank is pretty good for $12.99

alull · 12-26-2009, 07:57 AM

great deal on Fight Club but i've spent the last 45 minutes trying to find something else to buy with it to get the free shipping. so far, nothing. very frustrating. i hope the great titles won't go up while i'm finally in bed.

I never know what to expect from amazon.ca. Good some years and awful others. This year is awful.
