Today the Blu version of the HBO Mini-series John Adams dropped to $24.99. The standard def DVD is only $19.99
If you haven't seen it it is a great series. Anyone even remotely interested in the history of the USA should get this and watch it. Or if you just like great productions with great acting you should get it. Check out the imdb awards page (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472027/awards) for it
I just gave away my standard DVD to my parents and ordered the Blu-ray version for myself. Can't wait to watch it again.

Cliciking the link showed me a price of $16.49. Maybe the 14.99 was a mistake? Or the sale ended already? Anyway, I wish listed it anyway and may add it to my upcoming order.

That has happened to me with Amazon too a few times. There has been a sale one some DVD I want, then I go back just a little later and the price is higher again. True Blood did that right after it came out. I'm still waiting for the price to drop back down.

Amazon.com recently brought down the cost of a John Ford western I've thought of getting once or twice...Cheyenne Autumn. It might be the only western Jimmy Stewart was in that I don't have. For awhile, they were charging $17 or $18 for this...but the last week or so it's been down to $5.79. Of course if I decide to get it, then it'll probably be up to $20 or so...
-
I'll have to look into that one ...I don't think my mom and stepdad have it.

Karsten, what are your experiences with customs when ordering from amazon.com? What shipping method do you usually choose? Standard or Expedited?
I haven't ordered much from there. Usually only if I know I am below the custom free value. In my experience you almost certainly are charged customs with amazon.com. At least I did not have to go to the custom's office, when it did happen (the postman did collect then).
-
All my amazon.com packages go through customs but I already price that into my purchase decisions.
With the Dollar as is it now you get everything without import tax that costs less than $30 (only the item price). So if you have two items that are in sum above this it's wiser to make two seperate orders and pay shipping twice but save import tax.
You pay import tax if the package value exceeds 22€. The package value does not consider shipping fees, only item values.
However if you exceed the 22€ barrier the taxed value is calculated by item values + shipping fee.
For example. I ordered 2 seasons of "How I Met Your Mother". $22 each plus $7 shipping each. So I'll pay $29 * 2 / 1.44 = 40.28€ for it.
If I had ordered it together, I'd pay $44 plus $9.50 shipping / 1.44 = 37.15€ * 1.19 (19% EUSt) = 44.21€.
So if you'r ordering above import tax barrier, you can calculate with $1=1€.
But I've never had any problems with any deliveries.
Ah and I always use standard shipping, I am in no hurry. And if the stuff is dispatched from Auckland, New Zealand it's usually here within a week.
-
Do you order in Euro or in US$?

Do you order in Euro or in US$?
Always in $. I always get a slightly better exchange rate from my bank (even despite the 1% foreign currency fee) than from Amazon.
-
Thanks. I have ordered the Blu-ray version now.
-
The DVD version just dropped to $20.
-
Thanks Karsten, Ive ordered it for my brother (for his birthday)

I saw this - the second season of Sarah Connor Chronicles - a few days ago. I almost ordered it then, but I had to wait. Just went back to look again and it is down to $19.99, so I ordered it.
I found that the first 3 seasons of CSI are $14.99. I already have those..probably a good thing since I probably shouldn't spend more right now. :laugh:
-
True Blood: Season 1 (Blu-ray) (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001FB4W16) for $24.99.
According to http://regionfreemovies.com/ it is region-free.

I could kick myself. Because I have ordered a lot of TV sets the last few days, I have hesitated to order Smallville: Season 8 at amazon.com for $19.99. Today it is up to $44.99 again :(
-
set it on price watch on sakapo.de ...

Although I had already the Blu-ray version on it, I have now added the DVD version.
BTW, currently the DVD version costs $2 more than the Blu-ray version at amazon.com :headscratch:

This has happened to me several times. It always annoys me.

I had noticed that with other stuff before, I think particulary with a Criterion title. I am really pleased to see how Amazon promotes Blu-ray by making a great effort to keep prices low.

I can recommend the Newsradio series. Phil Hartman is just great in it. I also enjoyed Andy Dick as Matthew. Also Stephen Root (Milton from Office Space) is in the main cast (though his character is quite different, but fun).

Tonight I saw on Facebook that Ellery Queen was the Amazon Gold Box Deal of the Day. This was a U.S. TV series that lasted just one season. The set (for today only) was marked at $19.99. I remember I watched it when it was first on so I'm eager to see it again. I haven't seen it since it was on...that was, what, about 30-some years ago? :tv:
-
I remember enjoying that series too Roger so I picked up that set. I don't remember any of the shows so it will be fun to watch them again.

Today only, the first 4 seasons of Doctor Who are on sale. Of course this happens after I get the sets. :laugh:
$31.49 each season...which is pretty good for these sets.

Today only, the first 5 seasons of Doctor Who are on sale.
Unfortunately only the first 4. I'm still waiting for the UK series 5 to drop in price.

Oops..I meant the first 4. I was disappointed that it didn't include the newest season since I don't have that one yet. I just goofed when I typed that. I fixed the post. But it is still a good price for the first 4 seasons.

Blu-ray.com reports that there is a Criterion Blu-ray sale at Amazon. My reaction: :weep: (since it's gonna cost me :laugh:). Link. (http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=6255) Seems to be approx. $10 off some select titles.
It is not mentioned how long this will last.
EDIT:
it seems some of the items listed at Blu-ray.com have already gone up in price again (e.g. "M" or "Path of Glory"), while others are still as shown. It's probably best to quickly check all items you have on your wish list or are interested in otherwise and order them a.s.a.p.
