Those of you getting Mad Max on October 5th, be sure to double check your pre order to make sure that you have the one thats in the Bluray packaging, and not the dvd packaging by mistake.

I had preorderd mad max as soon as the pre order went up not realizing 2 days latter that they added a second pre order and that one was now bluray packaging and the first one was in fact in dvd packaging.

the one in the dvd packaging was the first pre order to go up and it had no picture or mention of dvd caseing at the time.

two days latter a second listing went up with bluray packaging and artwork in the bluray case.
and amazon then update the first listing to show the dvd packaging.
so i promptly canceled it and orderd the right one.

I'll probably pick up Beauty & The Beat and Rocky Horror on release day. Alien Anthology and Apocalypse Now can wait until Black Friday. I'm going to hold out hope that they will release the first BTTF film separately from the box set.

I definitely wouldn't characterize October as being an "awesome" month, there have been better this year. The two big box sets are great, but I can wait until X-mas for movies I've seen a thousand times already. The Criterions are indeed awesome, but when they can be had for $13 during the B&N sale its not a big deal. A couple of good TV releases with (Dollhouse, Wolverine, & Clone Wars) & the Bogie films are nice, but again, films I've seen a hundred times.

October's not going to be expensive for me at all. Since we're already seeing major titles available for $10 or less, there's no freakin' way I'm spending $25-$30 for a blu-ray, especially catalog titles.

riotinmyskull

october is only going to be expensive for the impatient.

I_Like_Movies

There are quite a few movies that I WANT but I will wait for the price to drop first

shelland

Just Beauty and the Beast for us. Maybe Back to the Future, depending on release week deals.

NoirFan

It goes without saying that I'm not buying anything until the 25% off sale.

My view also. I'll keep an eye out for deals in the coming months/years for next month's releases.

But I agree with the OP that October is an interesting month for releases.

islandclaws

Very and very.

I'll just wait for decent sales on most of them before buying. There's a lot coming out that I want, but I'm not going to pay high prices just to get them.

fumanstan

October doesn't stand out for me any more then the other months. Probably about the same as this month, actually.

Artman

Shouldn't our movie collecting be... fun? Obviously only buy what you can... but, thinking about how much something's going to cost shouldn't be the first thing that comes to mind...

FantasticVSDoom

Yeah definitely going to wait for BF and other sales... But a lot on the list I want and its been a while since I've bought anything.

TheDuke

Wolf Creek on Blu Ray? I'm interested in that but it isn't listed on Amazon...

JimRochester

Already posted my list but probably will hold off on most of them. October is close enough to Christmas I'll wait for Black Friday sales and put them on my Christmas list. Wife and prarents are always asking me what I want for Christmas, kind of silly to buy a disc a couple months early then get another sweater that doesn't fit on CHristmas.

biglou114

Some people have their crack, some their drinks... i have my movies and must have them all. I only get what I can afford but want to get as much as possible and its hard to say no.
