I've said many times, BD being close to winning the format war will not mean that HD media will cost more. Even BDA (Blu-ray Disc Association) has said that their next focus is the challenge against standard definition DVD.
Just few days after Warners announcement, BD prices are dropping like crazy. Sometimes cheaper than regular DVD. We can expect more BD BOGO to come. At Amazon.com: "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" - RRP: $49.95, now selling at $23.99 (previously selling at around $36). Compare the price: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Cheaper than the DVD!! And like arj said, the "Spider-Man Trilogy" is now down to $43.49 than their previous $60+ selling price. RRP is $92.95. "Ratatouille" and "Cars", which are fairly new titles, now drops to $19.99 only. Maybe there are more price drop for other titles, we just need to look for it.

I wrote them to ask about my order last night, and they replied to my registered email address within 3 hours. I have done this many times since 2002, Amazon.com help desk is one of the most reliable for a retail store. If by call, is that line toll free ar? |

HD DVDs Fall Like Dominoes
by The New York Times http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/01/10/h...-like-dominoes/ QUOTE Nothing has been announced, but Variety is reporting that the last two major studios backing HD DVD - NBC Universal and Paramount - are opening the door for a switch to Blu-ray. These studios have commitments to release some discs this year in HD DVD, but both have ended their exclusive commitment to that format, which is backed by a group led by Toshiba. |

QUOTE(funnyTONE @ Jan 12 2008, 09:28 AM) You have to ask Warner Bros, New line and HBO for that! Don't worry about the poison, you'll have the antidote when your order arrives. Whoa, I've just added so many titles into my cart blindly. But I will wait few days more, see if they drop the prices more. Not checking out yet! |

QUOTE(rx330 @ Jan 12 2008, 09:43 AM) OK2... just kidding la... Go to this page: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/contact-us/g...Enabled=enabled Make sure you login first. Select issue "Returns and refunds". Click on "Email" tab, then "Choose order & Items". Click left and right of "More orders" to select your order and titles that you want to refund (make sure you check the price you bought and the current price, that it is indeed dropped). Make sure you bought that within a month or so, I don't think they can refund you for items you bought 3 months ago. Maybe Synco can enlighten us about this? Then write by telling them that you noticed that the items so and so in your order numbers so and so has dropped, and ask them is it possible to get a price match. Then say that you want a refund, or a store credit which you can use to buy more from them. Say regards, and click send email. Or you can call them and follow the steps by Synco. |

QUOTE(TheUndead @ Jan 13 2008, 02:02 PM) Hello BD lovers. I'm asking for a favor from any of you that might want to order from Amazon. If possible, I want to tumpang Spiderman trilogy boxset you're 2 hours too late. Just placed my last order this morning. Mybe next time, or try ask bro arj. QUOTE(Synco @ Jan 13 2008, 02:04 PM) That's been our motto all along. That's what I really like about this thread, even the poisons. When the BDs arrive, it becomes the antidote. QUOTE(mazdagtr210 @ Jan 13 2008, 02:45 PM) Abg posmen working on Sunday ar? Still waiting mine, shipped December 16th. Amazon asked me to wait another week, if not arrive, they'll replace with new ones. I'm really2 comfortable doing business with Amazon, they give new meaning to the phrase "customers always right". My respect to them. |

QUOTE(kiam @ Jan 14 2008, 09:46 AM) Hi Aiman, Yes, standard shipping. Been using that before, arrived about 10 days including 10 days. You using the standard mail? I've got experience with the Deutsche Post Global Mail (not sure about IMEX). They declared the item as Unknown x3 DVD x1 The declaration is slapped in front of the shipment box. so may have possibility stopped by customs. but you should get the mail from pos klia if its stopped. weird What more to say, sometimes I need to save money, not that kaya... Only once in a while I use DHL, which, of course always arrive within 3-4 days without any problem. PS: I've not gotten any notice/mail/call from Pos Malaysia. So, not really sure if it's kastam issue or not. This post has been edited by aiman04: Jan 14 2008, 02:05 PM |
