Amazon Black Friday 2011

When certain HD transfers trouble you to the extent of ruining your life it's time to take a step back and take up knitting.

It was a hyperbolic comment meant to make you laugh (but I actually did turn it off).

[gasteropod]

I want the Wong Kar Wai movies

I have Chungking Express, Fallen Angels, and Happy Together on very nice Blu-rays.

Why go through an entire BD list went buying BD's has lost all nearly all it's appeal?

You do ask silly questions sometimes. It may contain an amazing bargain. It didn't.

There's a calender page on site that tells you what's upcoming.

Thanks. I guess I looked to late because it just had box sets.

Already?

I meant films really but I only buy BDs 99% of the time any more, so it basically fitted.

I know what he means, I've certainly lost the urge to buy anything and everything just to see how it looks in HD.

Ditto.

BTW. Hard-Boiled comes out in December. But it's DD so expect disappointment.

Thanks. I didn't know. I've got the Tartan DVD, which is perfectly good.

@ Yi: I wouldn't expect much from Drunken Master 2. We all know it's gonna be the same English dub in America or Australia. I'm sure Disney still own it there and it's still not even been given a UK release. Those obviously aren't the only territories but Asia cannot even get that film right.

I have Chungking Express

Is that the Criterion or Artificial Eye? The Criterion looks noticeably better but the AE is so much cheaper .

Both, and my advice is to go with the AE if you're bothered about the price, it really is 'good enough'.

if you are going to quote someone get their identity right.Mark said that,not me.

How come you have both? Isn't the AE rather dark? It looks like it is but I have only seen screen captures. Thanks. The Criterion price is definitely off putting.

[gasteropod]

Because I first got the AE, and then when I got a multi-region BD player I got the Criterion because it's technically a bit better, but it's only because I don't care about the price. The AE is fine to watch, I didn't find it too dark at all.

Heads up this year's usa black friday starts tomorrow, The Crow is $4.99 & Pulp Fiction $3.99 at certain times tomorrow (before shipping)

[Markgway]

The UK site is doing a BF week also, but no idea what's going to be on it.

[grim_tales]

Thats a fantastic price for Pulp.

[bradavon]

Thanks Salty. Do you want to update the title of this thread?

After postage at $6.48 (and given the time difference you won't be able to combine), The Crow will cost $11.47/£7.27 and Pulp Fiction $10.47/£6.63. I was going to get both but given the postage cost I'll just see if I can get Pulp Fiction.

Those are the only two that interest me. Lord of the Rings Extended box set would also be worth getting, depending on the price too. The latest Seven Samaria Criterion on DVD or BD is also in the sale but no price yet.

PST is 8 hours behind GMT. Which means Pulp Fiction will be cheap between 12:30am to 4:30am Tuesday morning over here.

[bradavon]

Well that's bollocks. Pulp Fiction is supposed to be available now! But I've had to add myself to some dumbass waiting list.

[Markgway]

I got both Pulp Fiction and The Crow!

[bradavon]

What time did you order? I didn't even get notified of Pulp Fiction, pointless waiting list. I wonder if it went really quickly. It did go live at 12:30 and I looked at 1:55.

I checked bang on 12:30am. It was sold out within seconds. These are lightning deals with thousands of customers after the same bargain. No wonder you missed out if you popped by 85 mins too late.

[bradavon]

Fair enough. I wasn't so interested I was going to hang around like a dog on heat. It looks like you were the only one who bagged them here.

[Markgway]

I wasn't so interested I was going to hang around like a dog on heat.

Lol... bitter much?

[bradavon]

No not really. I wouldn't gone for Pulp Fiction but cannot really afford it. So it's a good thing, from one point of view.

[saltysam]

Pulp Fiction is $4.99 here..don't know their shipping costs though http://www.deepdiscount.com/Black-Frida ... Code=25642

[Markgway]

I think the shipping works out about the same as Amazon.

It used to be cheaper - but since DD changed hands again it's gone up a bit.

[bradavon]

Postage is 50c more at Deep Discount. Meaning Pulp Fiction is $10.97/£7.10 to the UK delivered.

I'm going to hold out for the UK Pulp Fiction BD to come down in price, it was only released last month and is already £11.97. It's the sort of title to shoot down after a few months. Of the Amazon Black Friday deals, Ronin is in this one too.

Dances with Wolves 2 Disc Extended cut is also part of the Black Friday deals at DeepDiscount (the UK one is 1 disc/theatrical cut), for $13.39/£8.66. I'll be able to sell my 4 Disc Limited Edition Korean box set (both cuts, leather packaging) on eBay .

Amazon has in it's Black Friday deals Lord of the Rings Extended cut box set on offer for $56.47/£36.54 delivered.

The cheapest I can find it in the UK is £39.95 from Zavvi. Grrr if only it wasn't such a ridiculous amount of discs, creating an artificiality high price. I only care about discs 1-6, not any of the 9 extras discs. The theatrical cut box set is now only about £14. I'll hold on to my DVDs for a extended cut re-release.

[Markgway]

The Amazon (UK) Black Friday week has been shit.

Everything I've bought has been from Amazon.com.

BTW. Jackie Brown is currently $4.99 at Amazon.com
(I'm pissed because I paid $10.99 for a bloody pre-order... who knew it would plummet so quickly?
It's not even a lightning deal, but a regular price drop).

Edit: It's now $3.99(!)
I feel like a complete tit for wasting $7.

£30 at Tesco http://www.tescoentertainment.com/store/dvd/-/8:768404/

[grim_tales]

$4 is an incredible price for Jackie Brown.
I'll wait and maybe Pulp Fiction will go down (though $9 is still a great price).

[Markgway]

I got another lightning deal earlier (my third) for Inception BD @ $4.99.

That's my week done.
