While I like digital downloads on the road, if I want to own a movie, physical copy is the only way to go. Its a bit of a moot point though, since basically every blu-ray now includes a digital copy for the most part.

And zombiehorror, I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I was not referring to competition, but rather comparing the amount of stock Amazon has compared to other places. When looking at the wide numbers, its a free for all of third party sellers who expect to get collector prices for everything, in addition to warehouse overstock, plus of course what Amazon actually sells. If you narrow it down to just Amazon (and what they make a majority of profits on), then their numbers are much closer to Best Buy.

As far as "joining" Amazon, it will never happen. Amazon being online with their own online service is direct
competition to Best Buy and Walmart's own online video services. If that were not the case, perhaps it could happen as Best Buy focuses more on cell phones and TV's (and there is still the possibility if Best Buy does indeed end up

going through major financial troubles, which they are at risk of doing), but unless Walmart suddenly does a complete 180 sales wise, they will stay on their own. The only outlyer is Target, who has no digital video service. Regardless, I don't think any of them would join with Amazon unless as a last minute, last ditch effort, as that would mean sharing profits, which none of those big corporations wish to do.

No, I understood what you were saying and my point was why would Best Buy, Walmart, etc. worry about shipping inventory to stores when it is obvious you don't need to!  And by joining them, I didn't mean a merger/buyout, I merely meant that they will cease having instore inventory and go online sales only!

After passing this at Target about 2 months ago (and then not being able to find it after seeing this original post) I finally found this again at Best Buy for $7.99 2 weeks ago. Started watching Frankenstein Created Woman Friday and finished on Saturday night after all the decent college football games were over.

Have to say I felt a bit jippped. After seeing images like this since I was a kid...



...I was most disappointed to still not be seeing them as a 43 year old.  ;)

Now after a little internet research it appears they were just publicity shots anyway.   :-\

Hopefully The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires will be better as it's another film I've only seen images of over the years and look forward to seeing.

All I know is that when solar activity rises in the next cycle and there is no access to anything, I will be happy watching the 400 dvds I own, including this Hammer triple deal.
