Which Blu-ray series should I get?
« on: January 04, 2010, 09:25:06 PM »
Amongst my Christmas cards this year, I ended up receiving about $50.  I've been saving as much as possible lately for medical bills and baby stuff that is coming quickly but I really think that the people who gave me the money would prefer I use it to buy a gift.  As such, I've decided I want to add to my bluray collection (which otherwise consists of just the one other movie I got for Christmas)

Since the disks are pricey, I don't really want to just re-buy a movie I already have on regular-dvd and I don't want to risk buy movies I'm not sure I'll like (or at least aren't worth the bluray price)  So I've narrowed it down to either:

When We Left Earth - The NASA Missions which was an amazingly cool documentary that I would really like to own in my collection and could see myself watching several times over the course of my life

or

Band of Brothers which I've never actually scene in its entirety but from the few episodes I've watched, its just riveting - again something I'd love to have in my collection.

The latter is a bit more expensive but both are well priced and in my price range + free shipping from amazon.

thoughts?

Band of Brothers was excellent; I don't mind watching some of it whenever it's on TV. Never seen the NASA one

Band of Brothers is fantastic.  I own the series and almost always stop if I see it on TV

so WTF amazon?

it shows that BoB blu-ray is "IN STOCK" on the website but when I just went and checked my order status it shows an "estimated" shipping date of Jan 11?

I'd cancel my order and re-order from somewhere else but its not really cheaper anywhere else online (at least, not when you include free shipping)

I canceled my amazon.com order and bought in on eBay for $49.97 including shipping.
seller has a 4,500 to 3 positive/negative feedback rating for the previous 12 months and says that its new in original shrink wrap.

the BoB disks I ordered off eBay came the other day in the mail and I've watched a disk or two a night for the past few days; just finished the whole series this afternoon.  Two thumbs up  :dblthumb2:
