RE: I pay $18 for my HD DVDs

Posted by Jack G on June 2, 2007 at 09:37:29:
Have you looked at the prices on Amazon? Combos and multidiscs cost more obviously, but your basic HD DVDs list on amazon for $20. Their normal price is 33% off list, plus since I bought 3 discs at once one time back in 2006, I get an extra 10% off all HD DVDs and BDs (this expires at the end of 2007). That brings it down to $18. Bd seems to be priced a couple bucks higher. I have Amazon prime, so I get second day shipping more or less free now. My point wasn't to brag that I get 43% off list, but that if Amazon can sell the discs at that price, other stores probably could get close, if they choose to. You know when Wally World gets into the game, they'll negotiate even better prices.

Edit: I do tend to buy more catalog titles than new releases. I don't really have much interest in most of the newer releases.
