Never bought a single 4k from these sales. The Arrow prices are 250% inflated before they take the 50% off, which means they are still overpriced even during the sale. I get that there are some titles not available otherwise, so some people still buy them, but they just aren't for me.

They're preparing for the holiday season and will do the exact same thing on many products

Yeah, I get it. I mean, I'd love to get the Robocop 4k, but $25 just doesn't seem like a great deal to me.

Do you realize "normal" price is going to be $35-40?

Terrible deals IMO. I buy plenty of 4K discs and only pay $10-$15, usually $10 each. I guess someone might find a title they haven't found elsewhere, but $25 for a disc isn't slick to me.

this is what is known as a "boutique label" (https://www.cbr.com/best-boutique...ay-brands/ ), in effect meaning that prices rarely drop to what the major studios' releases would.

they do license some titles from the big studios and usually add some additional special features or a new scan, etc. but like kino lorber, shout factory, vinegar syndrome, etc. etc. they are all pretty steady pricing, outside of only very occasional sales like this. also, msrp on major studio releases is also like $40 for a 4k, so, not too far off..prices on those just drop faster and further, and more predictably. i know a universal or wb (sds) 4k is gonna be like $10-12 within a year, so i can wait if i'm not dying for a guaranteed slipcover.

i'm a longtime collector, but i've only relatively recently gotten into these types of releases because they necessitate a bigger budget of disposable income..but also to continue supporting physical media, that means i've got to be a lot more picky about what i choose to actually get 😅
