• U-571 [Blu-ray] - $9.99 (love this movie!)

I am such a nut for nature videos! Frozen Planet: The Complete Series is being released the 17th of April, 2012 and it is narrated by the dreamy voice of David Attenborough. Right now you can preorder the blu-ray version from Amazon and save 36% up front! Regularly price will be $62.48 for the blue-ray, and you can pre-order for just $39.99.

• Click here to pre-order Frozen Planet: The Complete Series [Blu-Ray]

Price compared with Chapters who has the pre-order for $46.86. The great thing with Amazon is that when you pre-order you are guaranteed the lowest price before its release. If the price goes up, you get what you ordered it for, and if the price goes down they lower the price you get charged.

For those of you that don’t need the Blu Ray, pre-order the regular DVD for $34.99 @ Amazon Canada (that is 30% off). A price compare with Chapters puts it at $39.98.

I am probably going to get this as it is produced by the same people who created Planet Earth. Also, it has great reviews from when it aired on TV, with each episode receiving between 6.5 – 9 million viewers. I believe there are 7 episodes, and each episode runs an hour. So a good 7 hours of spectacular viewing for only $40!

Pre-order ends 16th, April 2012

The Source Canada is offering a sweet family bundle right now for a limited time only.  This bundle is on sale for just $299.99.

• Click here to get the Family Bundle deal @ The Source Canada

Here is what you get with this Family Bundle deal:

• Xbox 360 4 GB console with Active Kinect
• 3 months Xbox LIVE Gold membership
• Built in Wi-Fi
• Kinect Sports game and Kinect Adventures game
• 1 controller

I did some price comparisons to some other stores and found it at Best buy and EB Games for the same price but they are already sold out. (I don’t think that they included the controller though like The Source does).  The other places I looked (Walmart, Sears, Tiger Direct) had similar bundles but with less games or for more money. This tells me that this bundle is in demand for being sold out so fast and is priced properly to sell. The only place I found it in stock at the several places I looked was The Source Canada.  If you are interested in this gaming bundle, check it out at The Source.

I was greeted by this lovely announcement when I went into my Amazon Canada today:

Please note that the price of BBC Natural History Collection 2 [Blu-ray] has decreased from CDN$ 107.10 to CDN$ 83.99 since you placed it in your Shopping Cart.

Boy was I ecstatic: that is a $23.11 drop! I have been wanting this collection for the longest time, ever since we got Planet Earth and Earth: The Biography. The BBC Natural History Collection 2 includes Life, Natures Most Amazing Events, South Pacific and Yellowstone. The original price for the set was $153 so in total you save 45% – pretty awesome.

There are some other good deals too, like:

• 71% off - An Education [Blu-ray] Was $41.95 | Now $11.99
• 70% off - The Eagle (Aka: Eagle Of The Ninth) Was $36.99 | Now $10.95

I price compared with Amazon Canada where it is priced at $44.99. You are saving an additional $4, which is equivalent to 10% the sale price.

This series is well loved so far, with great ratings like this one from Amazon:

I will freely admit to not being a fan of many HBO shows. I loved Entourage, but that was it for my HBO fandom. Then along comes Game of Thrones. As an avid sci-fi and fantasy fan, I was a little skeptical…but I have to admit that this show was brilliant from top to bottom. The sets, the storyline…the acting. All top notch!

I have never seen the show, have you?

There is a really good mix of old and new movies and TV shows in all of the categories. A few of my favorite movies stood out in this sale.  I love the movie Fool’s Gold on for $3.99.  It has comedy, action, romance and Matthew McConaughey so you can’t lose!  Another favorite of mine is Superbad on for $9.99 Blu-ray. I know it is supposed to be a teen flick but it is still one of the funniest movies I have ever watched. These are just a couple of my taste in movies and TV shows but they really do have a great selection of whatever genre you might want to watch.

When I started looking throughout these movies a little bit of nostalgia set in.  Not only are there some great new movies included with this sale but there are so many older movies that I remember growing up with on for very low prices.  One of my favorite movies as a kid (and lets be honest, I still watch it on a rainy day as an adult) is The Princess Bride.  Amazon Canada has The Princess Bride 20th Anniversary Edition on sale right now for just $7 (regular price is $15.98).  Another movie that I loved watching when I was in high school was Happy Gilmore on sale for just $4.98 (regular price is $14.99).  To this day I consider it one of the funniest movies ever!

As for some of the newer movies out on sale they have all of the Harry Potter movies including the newest Deathly Hallows part 2 is on sale for $14.99 (regular price is $31.98).  They also have all 5 Shrek movies in a big package bundle on sale for just $25.19 (regular price is $53.99).

It’s too often that websites put movies on sale that are not very popular just to get rid of too much stock.  That is why I am excited about this deal.  Not only are the movies recognized as being the best of the best but also there were a lot of movies that came out this year that I wanted to see but just didn’t have the time to go and see in the theaters.  That makes this sale a win/win situation!  One of those movies that I heard was really great was The Tree of Life on sale for just $12.99 (regular price is $36.99).  I am also interested in seeing Moneyball on sale for $15.99 (regular price is $35.99).  I have heard that is was such a great movie by both men and women.
