Tuesday Amazon Deals: Matrix, Harry Potter, lots more

[yendi]

Most of the previous deals are dead, but there are a few new ones that are nice.

That said, the complete Harry Potter on DVD ($48.99/50% off) or Blu-Ray ($79.99/40% off) is still nice, if a little pricier than last week.

The Deal of the Day is on the Ultimate Matrix Collection on Blu-Ray for $25.49 (60% off).

The video game Deal of the Day is on Disney games, with 33-50% off a whole bunch of choices, including Cars, Tangled, various Disney Princess options, Phineas and Ferb, and Epic Mickey.

Another today-only deal is on It's a Wonderful Life, at 55% off for the regular or Blu-Ray editions.

The complete Trigun on DVD is $23.49 (53% off). Meanwhile, Pokemon Season 1, part 1 is $21.99 (45% off). FLCL on Blu-Ray is only $20.99 (53% off).

Other Blu-Ray deals: Quantum of Solace ($12.49/58% off), Shrek: The Whole Story ($22.49/59% off), Brideshead Revisited ($24.99/64% off), The African Queen ($12.99/57% off), and The Warriors Ultimate Director's Cut ($11.49/48% off).

In games, Driver: San Francisco is $29.99 (50% off), but only for the PS3. Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 is $34.99 (30% off) for both systems (but still more for the Wii and handhelds). You can also nab the Warcraft III Battle Chest for Windows or Mac for $9.99 (50% off).

In books, the Harry Potter boxed set is $50 (42% off). Other book deals include The Walking Dead Compendium One ($29.99/50%) The UFC Encyclopedia ($25/50% off), The LEGO Star Wars Character Encyclopedia ($9.49/50%), and Harry Potter: Page to Screen ($43.95/43%).

Finally, in MP3, there are a bunch of $1.99 albums. That includes holiday highlights like A Very Gaga Christmas, Justin Bieber's Under the Mistletoe, and A Charlie Brown Christmas. Because Guaraldi totally fits in with Gaga and Bieber. You'll also find mostly-EP albums by the likes of Ricky Martin, Skinny Puppy, and more in the sale (which is largely not holiday themed).

btw, for anyone who wonders about whether Amazon prices fluctuate: When I started this post, the LEGO Ramses Pyramid game was on sale for $14.99. It's now up to $24.99 (a meh 17% off). Mind you, it often cuts both ways, but it does pay to check periodically during the day.

"The Deal of the Day is on the Ultimate Matrix Collection on Blu-Ray for $25.49 (60% off)"

And still $25 more than I'd pay for those stupid, stupid movies. Especially the first one...

Heh. I actually enjoy the first film (even if it's got about six major narrative flaws you can drive a truck through), if only because it's the rare film that gets away with being pretty and stylish even with major plot and character flaws (I'm usually willing to let one slide -- see my love of Branded to Kill -- but not two out of three). But the second was one of the biggest wastes of time I've ever seen (enough that I've never bothered with the third). Like the Animatrix, though.

You know, I've never posted to say that I find these posts of yours terribly handy. So today's the day -- thank you for compiling them!

[yendi]

Thanks! I'm glad they're useful!

Ah well. If I'd known LHP Y5-7 was going to drop that far that fast, I'd have waited. OTOH, I've been enjoying the heck out of it for a couple of weeks now for a nominal $50 (after the $10 promo credit) so I don't feel too bad about paying ~$1/day for early access....

Did you see the news about LEGO Batman 2? We're getting Superman, Wonder Woman, and hopefully more characters.

No, I hadn't. Sweet!
