Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
i posted this earlier in the another deal thread, but it bears repeating that this appears to be a pricematch to target's "circle week" b2g1 deal, which also includes books, and music.: https://www.target.com/pl/186172280
Can y'all tell the difference anymore? I remember doing Game of Thrones on BD 4K because the dark scenes were blotchy on HBO. But IIRC the audio was better on the streamed version.
Now I suspect I couldn't tell the difference. Plus the hassle of BD not remembering where I left off is an unacceptably stupid mistake.

this Amazon Coupon promo is different from the Target B2G1 deal you mentioned. This is the Amazon page that matches the Target deal:

It's probably because you're using a soundbar.
The audio from streaming is a significant/major drop in quality for anything else.
If a soundbar is good enough for you, you should just stick to it.
No reason to fix something that isn't broken for you.

Given the typical distance folks sit from their TV, improvements in streaming codecs, and we've all become accustomed to streaming quality, you're right. I have the 13.2 dedicated home theater setup with a lot of uhd media, and honestly I just watch via streaming the vast majority of the time. Physical media may not be completely dead, but it's definitely on life support.
Then that is user error, a properly implemented setup the difference is huge in quality.
This should not be surprising, a soundbar isn't designed to compete with a traditional setup.

Aren't dark scenes full of pixeallation for most people? I have 1GIG internet and I still get tons of pixellation during dark/night scenes. That alone makes physical media superior in my opinion.
Who said anything about a soundbar? It looks like only you did.
It was reference to the post you responded to.
Where he said "But IIRC the audio was better on the streamed version."
The only why that can even be the case is using a soundbar.
You even made reference to this when you said you "stream the vast majority of the time."
A traditional setup is a waste in this case, it does not fix inferior content.
yes they're also running that sale, but generally when target does their b2g1 amazon also matches, often using coupons that bring the price down to the equivalent of target's b2g1, as if all items purchased were the same price (i.e. 1/3 off). sometimes that means amazon is slightly better if you can't find three identically-priced items at target (or if you only want one item).
seeing now that everything's dead except speed 4k, which is indeed the same price as on target, and follows the "1/3 off with coupon" example (1/3 of $16.04 is rounded up to $5.35, which is the amount that the clippable coupon is for). hope this helps!

I bought the Game of Thrones 4K set and picture was better and audio quality was significantly improved over the streaming version. Streaming audio is compressed and can't compare to physical media.

You have a 13.2 home theater and you don't see a major difference between streaming audio vs physical media?

Not what I said. But the difference isn't significant enough for me to bother with putting in a disc most of the time. I also use Plex, but I'm leaving that out of the conversation intentionally since it isn't relevant to the average consumer.
