I rented For Your Eyes Only and it was great.

These come to $11 each!!! Hot Deal.

Clarence - Thanks for fixing that.

Ohh. This is tempting.

List price is $180. Limited sale price is $64! That's 64% off the Blu-ray boxsets or only $11 each!

How long do these goldbox deals usually last? Aren't they only 1 day or even less?

This is a one day sale but they are getting hit hard,.. I've seen this posted on every web board I read.

I would order sooner then later.

Good thing is... mine is scheduled to ship today .... Yipeee....

p.s. For anyone who's player may need a firmware update.... if you player needs a FW update then it likely "needs" that FW update. I wish these things were less complicated but I suspect problem discs needing FW updates will become less of an issue in short order.

Mine arrived here... That was like 3 days total and I used the free shipping and I don't have amazon prime.

And... It came with the 4 free tickets to Quantum of Solace..... Killer deal indeed.

Next time I will pay closer attention to the 1-Day thingy. I messed this one. Sad

Me, too. I was busy as hell running around the house on Friday getting ready for an HT meet and missed this steal of a deal... dammit.

A better deal is on now:

Buy 3 Save $20, Buy 6 Save $50, Buy 10 Save $100 (33 Blu-ray titles)

Includes at 6 bonds so you can get them for $10 each!

It comes out under $50 for the 6 movies because when you buy certain pairs of them you get a "best savings discount" so when you buy all 6 right now it comes to $47 shipped. (Maybe less if you choose free shipping.)

Thanks, Kal!

As Brian mentioned, they're actually less than $8 each, with the Best Savings Discount. $47.50 shipped, with SuperSaver.

And thanks Brian, since I would have had no idea about the BSD if you hadn't mentioned it. Seems strange that they'd knock an extra $15 off an already great deal, then throw in $12 shipping for free, but I ain't complaining. Smile

In fact, since you're already buying 6, you may as well add 4 more, and get an extra $50 off ($12.50 discount each). I picked up 10, for $71 delivered.

$43 for the $180 Bond set is quite a deal. And available (while supplies last) through Dec 7th.

Kal, I'd recommend re-listing this as a new Deal, since the One-Day Only will kill some interest for anyone not already watching this thread. Ah... I see you already have. Good job.

Wasn't the Buy 10 get $100 off limited to the 33 titles only?

WanMan,

yes, unfortunately. But I still managed to find 4 more beyond the 6 Bonds.

Live Free or Die Hard (which surprisingly, I've never seen!), Day After Tomorrow (which I don't have in OAR), Jumper (because I remember a Bester sci-fi story from the '50's I read as a kid, with similar concepts, which will likely be mutilated here), and uh, the 4th so memorable, I forgot. Smile

But for $7, I won't complain.

Oh, yeah (had to go look), a Disney flick for the kids, Nim's Island, which I've never even heard of. It's got Jodie Foster, so maybe it'll be watchable. According to IMDB, it's enjoyable if you go in with low expectations. Wink

High praise indeed.

All 4 scope films, what a coincidence. (3 of the 6 Bond films are 1.85.)

"The Stars My Destination", Alfred Bester, 1956. Thought-provoking last story in a 2" thick sci-fi book club compendium in the 60's.

"Jumper", a mindless 2008 action film that uses jaunting (jumping, teleportation) as a silly gimmick for senseless visual pyrotechnics. (My mini-review based on watching the 60-sec clip on IMDB.) Oh well. You had to make me go look, and evaluate my purchase. Embarassed

OK. Instead of 10 blu-rays for $7.10 each, I got 9 blu-rays for $8 each, and one they paid me $1 to take. Very Happy

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. (The mind is a wonderful tool.)
