I'd love to support this forum by ordering Blu-ray from Amazon, but Amazon not cheap

[jono_0101]

i ususally buy from amazon, but i am thinking of placing an order with tower for a few titles ive been waiting to pick up, it looks like all of their prices are regularly pretty expensive on tower, but when they have a sale, its a really good sale

you are talking a dollar or two.....

Tower is definitely cheaper because they purposely price below Amazon's pricing. There are a few items that are significantly cheaper. Customer service is very questionable and shipping times are always a gamble with Tower.

yea but who buys that many movies at once, second you have too much time on your hands if you actually added that up

Hey, kudos to you --- I figured you were lying or exaggerating so I tried to call you out, and you proved me dead wrong. $30 is $30 -- it's enough to buy another BD for crying out loud!

Does Tower have free shipping?

Yup...it takes a good two weeks to arrive that way though...

This site may be pro-Amazon which is great but, if you look in the hot deals section, there are more deals elsewhere than just Amazon. The nice thing about Amazon is that they often match competitors prices which, during this past x-mas for me was great as it was somewhat one stop online shopping. That said, I always look for the best deal and, often price match local stores at Best Buy for reward zone points. Wether you like Amazon or not, I doubt people are throwing money away on over priced products when they know they can get it cheaper elsewhere. Thus, the hot deals section and why it is constantly being updated with the lastest/greatest deals.

Are you really stroking Amazon that much that you're resorting to that weak argument? I could add that up in Excel in about 45 seconds. As someone who's on this site as much as you, it seems funny that you criticize someone else's expenditure of time.

I only put up the list of my recent order... Tower does have free shipping
and I usually get it within two days(but probably only because their
distribution center is only a couple hours from my home)

today I ordered a few other Blu-ray movies and this time, Amazon
has the price advantage.... guess it really depends...
