Pinocchio Blu-Ray for me too, with the free glass from Best Buy. My current Disney Blu-Rays so far are Pinocchio, TinkerBell, Sleeping Beauty, Nightmare Before Christmas, Wall-E, and the Hannah Montana concert. Not sure if I'm forgetting any. I hope to get some more stuff Friday or Saturday, when I get paid, including the Witch Mountain DVDs, though I still want the old releases because of the galleries... Some extras I can let go, but those are some I want!

I had a five dollar coupon (making it $20.99) and then a $25 gift card.

I got the US Digibook release of the JFK Blu-ray. Overall, I can't say I'm impressed with the packaging - I can understand why people say it is cheap. I've no problems with the concept, but the actual binding of the book segment is pretty poor.
Considering it cost me approximately a £7 premium to import, I don't think I'll be getting anymore.
JFK seems a solid, rather than remarkable release. I've had a quick flip through and the A/V doesn't strike me as outstanding, and while containing over 3 hours of supplements, they're almost all in SD (my guess is only the trailer will be HD). I'm also a little disappointed the disc doesn't contain the theatrical and director's cut via branching. We know Warner can do this because they did it on one of the Blade Runner discs (as opposed to encoding the film twice, which I believe they did for I Am Legend).
It's a shame I didn't get the "How the West Was Won" Digibook when it came out because the final Blu-ray release omitted the making of that was promised in the initial press release. Oh, well, I got my non-book UK version for less than £10, and its so worth so much more considering the quality of the film, so I guess it's swings and roundabouts.
Also got the new Wonder Woman animated movie too on Blu-ray. I'm a little surprised to see if has no chapters! I'm sure the previous DC Original Movies did!

Most of my Blu-ray collection some of my UK discs aren't on their database

Went a bit crazy today, ha. Bought season 2 and 3 of Wonder Woman, plus I picked up the new release of Escape to Witch Mountain and also got Island at the Top of the World since I needed at least 2 of the movie ticket vouchers. That was the only movie Best Buy carried with the movie cash that I didn't already have (there were supposed to be some others with the movie cash, but Best Buy didn't have them).
Incidentally, I still plan to get the first DVD releases of both Witch Mountain films on Ebay at some point. I want those galleries, and that's why I didn't get the sequel today. I bought the new release of the original film only because it is supposed to be improved quality.

I received an email from the website I ordered "iCarly" Season 1, Volume 1 from, saying that they don't have it in stock and that I'll be getting a refund within 2 days (but it doesn't look like they ever debited my account to begin with...), so I just ordered that from Amazon ($17.99), and preordered "iCarly" Season 1, Volume 2 ($18.99).
I've never preordered from Amazon.com before; it says that I might end up paying less for the item due to their low price guarantee, but I won't get charged more than $18.99, right?

That's great to hear- thanks, Dottie!Dottie wrote:Exactly. If the price of the item should be lower on the day they ship it to you than the price you ordered it for you get the price of the day of shipping. However if the price should be higher when they ship it you receive the price you ordered the stuff for.
