petetherock Posted November 29, 2008 Author Posted November 29, 2008 Review of the BR discs: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movies.php?id=1151&show=review "Band of Brothers" is a masterpiece of filmmaking, condensing years worth of material into ten manageable segments, each with a story, a meaning, and a history all their own, the series telling the story of arguably the most important events the world has ever seen. Easy Company, though many faces changed over the years, was at the forefront of it all; their actions and their courage forever altered the world, spearheading the fight for freedom from Fascism in Europe. "Band of Brothers" combines intense action with harrowing and often heartbreaking drama, the series a highly emotional experience viewed as a tribute to those men depicted therein. This spectacular and significant series arrives on Blu-ray in a first-class package. Featuring a video quality that is true to the source, an incredibly detailed and lifelike soundtrack, and some impressive supplements, "Band of Brothers" on Blu-ray is a set that is a must-own, and it receives my highest recommendation.

armoury Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 yes, saw it, too bad ordered at us49.99, crap, so unpredictable. So did I. But my order hasn't shipped yet, so shouldn't I get the benefit of the "lowest price before shipment"? Or did that only apply to pre-orders? I just checked my order and the price is still reflected as $49.99, unfortunately.

Or did that only apply to pre-orders? I just checked my order and the price is still reflected as $49.99, unfortunately. I emailed Amazon asking for a refund as my orders wasnt shipped out yet. I got an email later in the day that I will be getting a $5 refund on an exceptional basis.

From Amazon's help pages: Pre-Order Price Guarantee Amazon.com's price for not-yet-released items sometimes changes between the time the item is listed for sale and the time it is released and shipped. Whenever you pre-order a book, CD, video, DVD, video game, or software item, the price we charge when we ship it to you will be the lowest price offered by Amazon.com between the time you place your order and the release date. The order summary in Your Account will reflect the lowest price within 24 hours of the price change. Please note that our Pre-Order Price Guarantee applies only to items sold by Amazon.com, and not to items (or prices) offered by other sellers on our site. If your order enters the shipping process before the release date and the price is lowered on the release date, we will automatically refund your credit card for the difference between the price you were charged and the release-date price. If you did not use a credit card to pay for your order, please contact customer service through the Contact Us box on the right side of any Help page. (I've gone back and deleted my earlier post accordingly)
Alpc Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 I emailed Amazon asking for a refund as my orders wasnt shipped out yet. I got an email later in the day that I will be getting a $5 refund on an exceptional basis. oh? How did you do that? reply to them in the email or something??? I want that $5 as well... ;D
Darthfunk Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 oh? How did you do that? reply to them in the email or something??? I want that $5 as well... ;D I send them an email through my Amazon invoice. There is a link on refund. If your item has been shipped it might be tough but just send them an email to give it a shoot.

If your item has been shipped it might be tough but just send them an email to give it a shoot. Hmm.. I miss on the refund link (I still can't find it), but I did send them an email... Not sure if I word it correctly... Let's see what they say...
yellowhandman Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Finally received my copy...and I think I'm one of the few people left on Earth who have never watched this series (apart from a few random minutes of the first episode). Always told myself I'd catch it on DVD, but never got around for it and somehow avoided buying it, so this is my first bite! Strange, considering that I've read and enjoyed some of Stephen Ambrose's books (but not the one that BOB is based on), and I'm also a big fan of Patton (the man, not only the movie).

yellowhandman Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 OMG where have you been bro lol! Well at least you are watching it at its best in full HD glory! I've been right here...just never got round to watching it, even though armoury has offered to lend me his DVD countless times to get me hooked. I guess it'll be worth the wait...

desray Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Me only watch first few episodes and then due to work....you know the rest. So make it 3! ;D
armoury Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 I send them an email through my Amazon invoice. There is a link on refund. If your item has been shipped it might be tough but just send them an email to give it a shoot. My order just shipped yesterday, priced at $49.99. Annoying, considering I could have cancelled, re-ordered, then combined orders to take advantage of the lower price. So I've sent an email pointing that out. Let's see what happens.
armoury Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 My order just shipped yesterday, priced at $49.99. Fook me, the price today is $43.99...
Darthfunk Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 Fook me, the price today is $43.99... Soon its going to be $39.99 lol! Anyway since i got my $5 refund i cant complain much :-\ I have a feeling that there is going to be a crazy sale just before christmas.
