Buy Two Select Universal Blu-rays at Amazon, Get $8 Off (Expired)
Posted May 9, 2011 10:31 AM by Webmaster
Amazon is currently offering customers who purchase two select Universal Blu-ray releases $8 off their total purchase price at checkout. The deal is notable in that five of the fourteen eligible titles are upcoming releases:
I would do Brazil but already ordered the Sandler flicks from Columbia House for ~$16. Meet The Fockers is too high-priced and I already have Meet The Parents...
Yea, when things SOUND "too good to be true" ($8 off 2 titles), they usually are, especially when the prices are in the $20-24+ range. I'd planned to get BACKDRAFT ($20.49) & AMERICAN GRAFFITI ($24.49??!!!), but as they'd be $18.49 AFTER the $8 off, Not gonna happen... :-(
given the shoddy quality of Universal catalog titles, will wait to see reviews prior to making purchases at any price. Hopefully Brazil is obtained by Criterion again.
(in Universal Studios staff voice): Hi, we're the "bomb factory". We produce mediocre movies, average at best Blu-rays, and charge you fortunes for them.
I got Meet the Parents and A Beautiful Mind for under 20 bucks total. Shame about the other ones though. I would have bought a lot more if the other prices were any good.
This so-called sale is a joke! Amazon jacked up the prices, before they're giving the customers 8 dollars off, when you buy 2 blu-rays? You'll still be paying the regular price for each blu-ray, with the 8 dollar discount, so therefore, it's not a sale. Listen up Amazon! We wasn't born yesterday, and we're not fools!
I'd already had Legend and American Graffiti on preorder. I considered reordering them both to obtain the $8 discount but, as others have said, there was a recent price increase on Graffiti. There would still be a little savings over my existing preorders, but not that much. Also, I've been thinking of cancelling my American Graffiti preorder because there are too many other titles I have on preorder with the same release date. I'll likely keep Legend on order, though. I hope the transfer is solid at least.
