Does Kino ever do any sales worth a drat? My wishlist for their blurays is longer than Criterion's at this point, but they're always pricy.

Customer images of the V/Watchmen/Constantine pack show three disks in the pack, one for each movie and the product details for all of them except the Kubrick pack list 3-4 disks. I think it's probably more likely Amazon screwed up the product details for that one but I may be wrong.

ImportCDs seems to have best most consistently low prices on Kino releases, plus other "boutique" labels. No idea how reputable the site is. By the way, Walmart has the regular 3-disc Brave (without the 3-D disc) for $18 and the 2-disc Star Trek '09 for $5. They also had a huge bin of decent $8 discs for Sony, Warner, and Fox titles like District 9 and Caddyshack. They also had To Kill a Mockingbird for $15 the Bourne films for $12 each.

Sounds like it's got better blacks than the HDTV version too. Not the best case scenario of a new scan but probably the best solution at the moment. You can't get it there, but at least it'll be out in the wild sometime soon. For anyone interested here is the link to the post. I know I'll be keeping an eye on this. http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Our-Night-Of-The-Living-Dead-1990-project/topic/14861/

Just to confirm: The UK version of the Hichcock collection are the exact same transfers, right? I already own North By Northwest and as I live in Canada I'll be hit with duty fees so it would still be cheaper for me to buy that version even with the sale.

Blu-ray.com has a list of all the blu-rays on sale right now: http://www.blu-ray.com/deals/?e=1 This list doesn't include upcoming prices, such as the Amazon deals for this week. Last year they had a counter up on the top of their site whenever Amazon was running one of the deals that said how many were claimed and how much time was left (which they do right now).

Be warned that a few of the movies look pretty awful, but the more popular ones like Vertigo and Rear Window look excellent. Even at this price, I'm just going to wait for the eventual separate releases and just pick up Shadow of a Doubt, Rear Window, Vertigo, and The Birds.

I've been considering waiting for the single releases too, but when I really stop to think about it, at least 6 of those titles I would want to own and there's really nothing I wouldn't value at all (don't judge me too harshly but I found Family Plot entertaining), so at this low of a price it's probably worth it. kuddles fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Nov 19, 2012 |

Biting the bullet on the Hitchcock collection, hoping I don't regret it on Black Friday or Cyber Monday or Wacky Wednesday or whatever. $150 is still kind of a stretch for me at the moment, but who knows when it'll be this low again. Also getting League 1 & 2, because awesome price.

But what if the BD go on sale for $12 right after?!  Edit: And furthermore, what if this is indication that a Netflix release is imminent?

CBS has been playing pretty hard with letting content go online or to Netflix. They still aren't on Hulu yet, and while they just announced a deal with Netflix, it looks like they're only putting on the completed CBS shows (CSI: Miami, etc.) So, I wouldn't worry about Big Bang Theory. Personally though - where I live, a broadcast channel shows it at least two times a day in syndication, so I could never see a need for the DVDs. This is also how I stopped purchasing Simpsons/Family Guy DVDs.

I think deals for Chuck Lorre shows are independent of CBS' deal for streaming, on demand, etc. I thought his shows went through Warner Bros.

Man, remastered tv shows on blu-ray must be doing pretty solid numbers, because 2013 is gonna be an even bigger year than this one. From the Digital Bits rumor mill: Is Fox bringing The X-Files to blu-ray in 2013?

If this is true I am all over this. It says they may also be re-doing all the effects similar to what they did with the TNG blu rays. I would think they would need to do that or it will just look terrible, and this is a series that really deserves it. Fingers crossed.

If that were true about the X-Files set, that'd definitely be my most anticipated set of the year. I've been dying to rewatch the series and that'd be a perfect excuse. Rome: The Complete First Season for $16.99 Rome: The Complete Second Season for $16.99 Sporadic covered most of the great deals but I didn't see those two listed up top.

Oh, Sony. quote:In the next couple of weeks, the XBR-84X900 television will ship to customers who placed pre-orders since the product introduction in September. As an extra bonus, included free with the purchase will be the world’s first 4K Ultra HD delivery solution, complete with pre-loaded, native 4K entertainment. Not some goofy 4K content shot as a demo. I’m talking full length feature Hollywood productions, and available exclusively to purchasers of Sony’s 84” 4K Ultra HD TV. http://blog.sony.com/sony-4k-content Shine on, you crazy diamond. I wonder what their delivery solution is. Quad layer Blu-Ray? New type of disc? Giant hard drives?

I'd have to move several bookshelves, and that still wouldn't solve the problem of gazing at an 84" screen with how close my couch already is. In my living room, if an 84" TV fell towards me with me on the couch it would crush me. Would make falling asleep in front of the TV a death sport.
