Amazon Deal: Farscape on DVD (62% off) and Blu-ray (53% off)

             

This week's deal is Farscape.  Both the complete series on DVD and the complete series on Blu-ray are on sale.

That is all.

Amazon Deal: 61% off Indiana Jones: The Complete Adventures (on Blu-ray)

Today only the Blu-ray collection including the four Indiana Jones movies (Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Temple of Doom, The Last Crusade, That Other One) is selling for 61% off.  That's sixty one percent off the list price of about a hundred dollars meaning it is now about 39 ($38.99).  Of course, Amazon never sells anything at list price, I don't know if anyone does, so it's actually more like 40% off the usual price of $64.68.  The point, regardless of the percent off, is that it's a better deal than it usually is today.

Also even taking into account that 61% off list is a little less than 40% off normal and the fact that you're getting stuck with Kingdom of the Crystal Skull which kind of, sort of, sucked, it's still a good deal because the discount you're getting is still 160% of the price of the fourth movie.  (Assuming each movie makes up an equal portion of the usual price.)  Thus today's discount cancels out the cost of having the fourth movie packaged in there and then some.

Good deal if you have a Blu-ray player, and 40 dollars, and don't have the Indiana Jones movies on Blu-ray yet.

Also, $38.99 is enough to qualify for free shipping, so there's no extra shipping to add to the top of it.

Amazon Deal: Die Hard 58% off this week

The Die Hard 25th anniversary Blu-ray collection is 58% off this week.  Yeah, that's about all I have to say in this post.

Amazon Deal: The Borne Trilogy

The Borne Trilogy (movies, not books, and the two are only loosely related) is on sale for the week, so if you'd like the movies half off in DVD or Blu-ray, now is a good time to get them

Amazon Deals

So, Amazon sends me emails to tell about deals, I generally respond by going, "That's nice, but it doesn't matter.  I'm broke."  But sometimes the deals are things that I think others might be interested in, which I usually respond to by forgetting about until after the deal is over.  Which does nobody any good.

Here's an attempt not to do that:

The Jurassic Park Ultimate Trilogy Gift Set was on sale for a week, but today is the last day of that week, so if you want it act fast:

It is currently selling for less than half price, it includes the three movies, what appears to be a sculpture of a t-rex breaking through the gate and... um... *deep breath*  Return to Jurassic Park: Six-part documentary featuring all-new interviews with directors Steven Spielberg and Joe Johnston plus cast and crew; Archival Featurettes; The Making of All 3 Jurassic Park Films Original Featurettes on the Making of the Films; Steven Spielberg Directs Jurassic Park; Hurricane in Kauai Featurette; The Jurassic Park Phenomenon: A Discussion with Author Michael Crichton; The Compie Dance Number: Thank You Steven Spielberg From ILM; The Dinosaurs of Jurassic Park III; The Special Effects of Jurassic Park III; The Industrial Light & Magic Press Reel; The Sounds of Jurassic Park III; The Art of Jurassic Park III; Montana: Finding New Dinosaurs; Behind the Scenes; Early Pre-Production Meetings; Location Scouting; Animatics; Before and After the Visual Effects; Foley Artists; Storyboards; Tour of Stan Winston Studio; A Visit to ILM; Spinosaurus Attacks the Plane; Raptors Attack Udesky; The Lake; Production Archives: Production Photographs, Design Sketches, Illustrations, Conceptual Paintings, Models, The World of Jurassic Park, The Magic of ILM, Posters and Toys; Deleted Scenes; Jurassic Park: Making the Game; Jurassic Park III Feature Commentary with Special Effects Team; Theatrical Trailers; Blu-ray Exclusives; BD-Live: Access the BD-Live Center through your Internet-connected player to watch the latest trailers and more; My Scenes: Bookmark your favorite scenes; Pocket BLU App: Experience an exciting new way with the app for iPhone, BlackBerry, Android and now enhanced for iPad; and D-Box.  Whatever the hell a D-box is.

So if that sounds interesting to you, and you want to get it at less than half price, and you have a bluray player which I don't, buy it by midnight.  This, once again, is the link.

I once saw a documentary that briefly interviewed someone who worked at a place that made CDs and records.  In the beginning people asked, "They still make records," but times changed and people asked, "They still make CDs?"  Anyway, they still make both and apparently if you buy either you get the MP3 version free.

-

There's apparently a spring deal on every category imaginable, whether or not anything you want in those categories remains to be seen.

And Amazon assures me that its best deals are here.

Up to 70% off on Joss Whedon Stuff for the week

Perhaps I'm just jaded but "Up to 70% off" to me means, "Down to zero percent off."  That said, there's probably a bit of an overlap between those who read this blog and those who like at least one thing by Joss Whedon so I give you the stuff listed on the sale page:

Firefly on DVD and Blu-ray:

         

Angel on DVD:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (series) on DVD:

Dollhouse Seasons 1 and 2 on DVD and Blu-ray:

         

         

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (movie) on DVD and Blu-ray:

         

-

Which gives a total of ten things, though when I think, "Joss Whedon," I don't tend to think, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the movie."  In fact, I have a sneaking suspicion that those two were included to get up to double digits which otherwise would have been difficult because Angel and Buffy aren't on Blu-ray yet and they're probably not up for putting The Avengers into this sort of a sale yet.

A Blu-ray is like a sting ray but significantly less cute.
