Black Friday deals this year

I was hoping for better than $14.99 on 4K SD movies. $9.99 would make more sense on those. Also was hoping for more D2D offers.
Yeah. Not one of the 16 is 9.99 either. And some of my movie updates at like $17.

Oh well. I’ll give it a couple of days and see if anything improves, but definitely feel like there was a lot more last year.
 
I just wish we had a nice easy way to list disc to digital upgrades only for ones where you have a Blu-ray Disc. It would make it faster to see what I could unslot from my vault.

How would that be different than the Digital Offers page (perhaps as filtered for HD or better?)

When I go there, most of the titles are offers to upgrade DVD to BluRay or UHD. If I filter for HD or better, again it is mostly offers to upgrade DVD and I have 1,611 titles still in DVD. Most of them I do not want to spend money to upgrade to BluRay or they are not available in BluRay. I certainly don't want to comb through those every time I try and check for D2D upgrades to unslot titles from my vault.

I have 267 titles in HD that are still on physical discs in my vault and those HD titles are on 426 BluRay discs. I also still need to load another 43 BluRays from the Doctor Who series that sadly are not bookmarked from what I can tell on the first 15 discs I loaded into my vault. I need to bring another server online to handle the extra space. My 3U is full at 72TB. I have a couple 1U servers not merged into that system so I will get that done soon.
 
I'm happy to get one movie that looked too pricy from the D2D offer, which was Everything Everywhere All at Once. At the same time, I already bought 98% of the movies I want, so my wishlist is pretty short. There's only 3 more movies on it, North by Northwest (I know it's on sale for $14.99, I'm waiting for the WB D2D price to kick in), Midsommar (D2D never came in), and The Great Escape (D2D price too high). Basically my rule is that if it's more than $15, I'll wait until it goes below that price or it's necessary to get it. Also I'm pretty much only buying 4K.

Yeah I broke today and bought like 75 movies from my wish list. Anything that was 14.99 or less I grabbed.

Anymore drawings with entries based on spending in the store again....lol
 
I purchased approximately 20 titles, including Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and Horizon @ $14.99, both of which I consider the best buys of the sale given their significant discounts.
I capitulated and bought The Idea of You ($19.99) because of Anne Hathaway and The Boys in the Boat ($24.99) because I thought it was very well-done. Both these titles were only $5.00 off.
I also purchased Godzilla King of Monsters, and Godzilla x Kong The New Empire @ $14.99 for the sound effects only and since I could not take advantage of content-set pricing due to earlier purchases of other titles included in the content set.
Upgraded to 4K MIB 1-3, Saw, North by Northwest, and Blazing Saddles (@ $4.92 each) to get them off my wish list.

I concur that a disappointing number of titles were marked down significantly (like Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and Horizon).

I was also hoping to find the West Wing series in a new content set since I own the SD versions but think that the price of $24.59 to upgrade each season to HD is crazy (given that I paid $9.99 each season for the SD version). In effect, I'm penalized for having purchased the SD versions last year since the cost without SD upgrade is $29.99.
