Okay, it's considered a faux pas to quote oneself, but i just saw that the io9 article said Amazon originally listed this set for $800?!?!?!?

I know Amazon never charges full price for media, but even at 50% that would be a $400 set! That better be a pricing mistake!!!

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

$800 is crazy

Damn that's cool. I hope it doesn't have any exclusive material...

Amazon had it listed at $800!!!!!

Someone must have replaced their long bottom leaf with crack.

It doesnt. In fact thedigitalbits.com is reporting that it literally has no new content *at all.* Nor are the transfers new, 4K, etc. $800 gets you the fancy packaging and "swag" (booklets and photos) and that's it.

 

[jye4ever]

For that price it should be 8K.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

pftt. You guys will buy it anyway !

 

[DinoDB1975]

My 2006 self would have done so in a heartbeat. Even at a robust 75% discount, that's a $200 set that I can't justify buying when I already have them on Blu-Ray. That $200 could otherwise go to things for my kids.

^Nice sig.

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

I'll probably try to get it. Looks really nice. Now I also need to get that Wizard collection of Harry Potter.

I'm not

It's listed at WBshop for $799, but with codes and such I can get it the price down by $40. Still too pricy for my blood. Amazon still hasn't posted the price. I doubt it will be $800 though.

 

[Khev]

There was a time when I would have greatly considered that Middle-Earth set but now I'm good with the movies I already have especially since 4K HDR is the big new thing anyway.

 

[jye4ever]

I will buy LOTR 4K but i'm happy with Hobbit 1080p 3D.

 

[Khev]

Agreed.

$40 off?

$40 off?

Hey, it's better than nothing!

For those who bought Wrath of Khan Directors Cut bluray make sure you have the yellow UPC code on the back of the box and not the white.

The white is the defective version with the messed up cut of the movie.

Thank goodness for that.

No need to purchase then.
