Okay, guys, for everyone interested in the three "new" John Hughes DVDs (
The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, and Weird Science) this week:
Best Buy has the individual discs at
$12.99 each, which is pretty much the cheapest they are anywhere.
However, according to their website, the three-pack is selling for
$39.99.
3 Movie Brat Pack (3pc) : (Ws Sub) - DVDNow, when you can buy the three individual discs for less than the box, that kind of defeats the purpose of the box, doesn't it?
Meanwhile, Amazon still has the three-pack for
$29.98:
High School Reunion Collection (The Breakfast Club / Sixteen Candles / Weird Science)(Plus, Amazon's doing free shipping on orders over $25 right now.)
So, if you only want one of the three, I'd say pick it up at Best Buy this week.
If you want two, well, you could get them at Best Buy for around $27-28 total, or you could spend a couple more bucks and get the three-pack from Amazon.
If you want all three, obviously Amazon is the way to go.
(By the way, for anyone expecting full-blown
special editions, these discs are supposed to be quite un-remarkable, as far as DVDs go. Although they sport new anamorphic widescreen transfers, and SC and WS have had their original theatrical soundtracks restored, the only extras to be found on these things are their trailers, apparently. Of course, ultimately, the movie is the most-important thing, and these releases are the best these movies have looked and sounded since they were in the theatres twenty years ago--just don't expect any supplements, that's all.)
