Amazon Friday Deals: James Bond (and Jimmy Buffet, CCR, Heroescape, and Heroes)

[yendi]

Amazon's Deal of the Day is all James Bond! The James Bond Ultimate Collector's Set is down to $89.95 (69% off)! That's all 21 films, plus tons of extras. And the new Blu-Ray six-pack (for those of you lucky enough to have Blu-Ray players or PS3s) is going for $64.95 (64% off). These deals (especially the Blu-Ray one, which was only released a short time ago) will likely sell out sometime today before they expire.

Other Friday-only deals include:

The Wii Frontman Wireless Guitar for $19.96 (60% off).

The DRM-free MP3 album Willy and the Poor Boys (from CCR) for $1.99.

The Friday Five MP3 albums for $5 a pop are from Ne-Yo, Thievery Corporation, Jimmy Buffet, Justice, and Seether.

New deals that don't (as far as I know) expire today:

Marvel Heroscape is $14.99 (55% off); it's a good Heroscape intro, and a cheap holiday gift (which never dropped before $17 last holiday season).

And the combined Heroes Seasons 1 and 2 set is going for $52.99 (47% off).

Oh sweet, we've been looking for a deal on a separate Wii guitar! Excellent.

Also, some of your code shat the bed there.

Ack!

Thanks -- fixed it (put in an extra quotation mark).

Hey: I'm working on a DVD gift guide story, and since it needs to have at least one inexpensive/"budget" suggestion, I thought I'd ask you if you had any ideas for good DVDs that are inexpensive presents. Is there a way to plug into and find out about Amazon's 'Deal of the Day' (or do you have be some kind of member for that)? Do you know of any titles in general that tend to cost less that usual DVDs. Any suggestions you offer would be appreciated.

The deal of the day is always visible if you click on the Gold Box at the top of your Amazon page, but there's also a Twitter account for it (http://twitter.com/amazondeals).

I'm not aware (beyond some of the deals I've posted) of any particularly cheap DVDs (and since the deals change so often, I'm not sure highlighting any one would work that well).
