    Same goes for the Universal Monsters boxset.
    I have noticed that with most of the box sets. The Harry Potter Blu Ray set came out to be like $25 cheaper including shipping then the U.S. set.

      Ditto. If you're not a packaging snob (their cases are slighty bigger and more boxy) you can save quite a bit with UK box sets. Off the top of my head I have:
      Fast and the Furious collection
      Dirty Harry collection
      The Sarah Connor Chronicles (season 1 and 2)

        My only concern with those, is that even though they're region free, the may run at 50 hz which the PS3 won't recognize. Unfortunately, it's not usually listed in the specs.

        Does anyone have a direct link to the Hitchcock set? I couldn't find it.

            My used copy of the Jet Li Collection (paid $7/new is $20) arrived in horrible shape. Looks like the plastic bag it shipped in was ripped....disc hanging out...front of the blu ray cover looking burned. USPS said it arrived like that.

            Reason I'm mentioning? Gohastings customer service was excellent. First, no problem refusing shipping and getting a refund. I mentioned wanting this and it was cheap (rare 40% off)...so the CSR to me to go ahead and order another copy and they'll honor my old price (it's back up to $13).

            I love gohastings

              Everyone talks about their love for gohastings, and the deals they run are pretty solid, but the other day I went into an actual gohastings store here and the prices were nowhere near as good as they are online as most everything I wanted was damn near at retail even when in used condition so they must run far better deals online then they do at retail for whatever reason.

                That's funny because I never knew gohastings actually had brick and mortar stores. I know they're nowhere around the Chicago area because I'm sure I would've heard about them.

                But yeah they're deals are really good. I just now picked up Season 2 of True Blood and Season 6 of Lost used for $40.

                    You beat me to it. Got a decent haul ($7.96 shipped each):
                    In Time
                    The Grey
                    Chronicle
                    Machine Gun Preacher
                    Wrath of the Titans (my order says 3D, but description said 2D...we'll see)
                    War Horse
                    Act of Valor
                    Rise of the Planet of the Apes
                    13 Assassins

                    I was hoping Undertaker: The Streak was part of the sale, but it was a no go.

                    Would have been a good time to stock up on 3D flicks if you have a 3D display....or on Disney/Pixar movies for the kids.

                              Easiest way to check for the "good" stuff is search from "price high to low" you get past a lot of the older releases

                              Rio is still available, even though it's not Pixar it is Pixar quality

                                Are these new or used Pixar movies you're talking about?
