Blu-ray 12-pack (Black Hawk Down / Casino Royale / The Fifth Element / Gattaca / Hellboy / House of Flying Daggers / A Knight's Tale / Layer Cake / Talladega Nights / Underworld Evolution)

I guess I am the only lucky one who got a great deal on this box set. I paid $165.94 for this set in June 2008. I had seen all of the movies except for "Layer Cake" with Daniel Craig and I was pleasantly surprised by the story. I expected to get a B movie but what I got was a movie that held my interest throughout even though the "good guy" is really a bad guy. However, there is no way I would pay $285 for this set now.

I'm not sure who the audience for this $320 release is because many people will already own the best of these films. It is cheaper to purchase your favorite titles individually. This 2008 release is out of print and not worth tracking down. Gattaca, Superbad, The Fifth Element and A Knight's Tale are my favorites. Daniel Craig and Will Ferrell in one collection. All of these films are worth watching.12 Films: Black Hawk Down, Casino Royale, The Fifth Element, Gattaca, Hellboy, House of Flying Daggers, A Knight's Tale, Layer Cake, Spider-man 3, Superbad, Talladega Nights, Underworld Evolution

Every movie listed can be bought for 5 to 10 dollars each at either amazon or best buy.

First it was $285, then $306. Now hold on to your hats. It is now $407!!! Amazon.....are you out of your mind? Prices of blue ray discs are slowly going down, but you offer a 12 pack with a very strange selection and you just raised the price of the pack $100?? Brilliant marketing strategy. And where did you come up with this assortment of movies? It doesn't make any sense. IF any person in America buys this idiotic 12 pack it would floor me.

So, the bundle is now $305.99. A previous reviewer from July 24, 2008 tagged it at $284.95. Instead of coming down in price over time, it went up. Just looking up Black Hawk Down, I can get it new from $16 to $20. Hellboy runs $14 to $20. 12 movies for $305.99 = $25.50 per movie. Way too expensive.

Yeah so I just did a breakdown of the prices from Amazon and if you bought all of these separate from the site it would cost you 218.88, brand new. If you decided to buy new between Amazon and the marketplace for the best price you would be spending less than 182.00. Although I like almost all of the movies it clearly is nowhere close to a good value.

I actually already own most of these, so I know for a fact that it is MUCH cheaper to buy them separately than in this "Bundle". If the price were dropped, to entice new blu-ray player owners, it would be a hit.I say, drop it to $200 and market it as a blu ray starter kit, promoting it as a good match for every blu ray player and PS3.

It's truly insane to see such a high price tag on an almost random picked movie collection. It's got a wide variety, but it's hard to guess anyone loves more than half the package!As the other user I'd ask Amazon to post for better offers!
