These deals expire at 12 AM PST/3 AM EST next Sunday, November 25th.
Decent deal on the Apes set, though Best Buy still has them beat. The other two are repeats of Best Buys release week pricing, which amazon pricematched at the time as usual. It's odd that amazon's BD deals of the week are so rarely actually their best BD deals that week. This week included; there are even better deals that aren't being promoted as a deal of the week, though their prices will likely be that low all week long.
I'm interested by Once Upon A Time but I have soooo much to buy until the end of the year, I'm going to wait for something I want even more.
Besides, I think I'm going to wsait until the second season is released on Blu Ray just to be sure that it's still going to be Region Free.
