Movies on Sale...

When you say it's not working, what do you mean exactly?

As rydiger said, the store's purchase logic will go to extremes to ensure that you pay the lowest possible price. To qualify for a Superbundle, you have to pay the bundle price for the minimum number of titles to qualify (two, in the case of the Ghostbusters bundle). So, let's say that you had a disc-to-digital offer for each of the four movies. You would end up just paying the disc-to-digital price, since it's lower.

If you have a disc-to-digital offer for one movie, and you selected that movie plus one other, you might end up paying slightly more than the disc-to-digital price for the one movie, but by doing so, you qualify for the bundle and pay much less overall.

See the thread rydiger linked to for more. Also, this reminds me that I don't know if we actually posted the explainer document I wrote. It was awaiting review.

Thanks Mike,
I was ordering 2 of the Ghostbusters bundle, one was D2D and the other was regular price. My D2D upgrade price was $4.92, when I purchased the bundle price was $6.99 each total of $13.98.
 
Ah, yep, that’s working exactly as intended. By paying the extra $2.07 for the one movie, you qualified for the bundle and saved overall.
 
@MikeKobb For bundles, when someone has most of the movies in the bundle, they are not able to participate in the bundle purchase. For example, in the ghostbusters bundle, I already have 3 movies and was looking to buy the latest one, but I am not able to because there needs to be 2 purchases and I can only make one purchase as I already own the other movies in the bundle. The same was the case with the previous batman bundle. Is there anyway for folks like me to participate in the bundle purchase in these scenarios?

This was discussed in the following thread: Bundling Existing Movies

It would be a nice feature to recognize titles you already own and count them towards your Bundle qualifications. Or they could offer reduced pricing during the Super Bundle sales. Using you Ghostbusters example, it could be: $6.99 for bundles or $9.99 individually. I don't know how much the Ghostbusters Afterlife cost by itself. But if it's $35 like what Batman was, I can understand you not wanting to buy the last title to complete your collection.
 
Yeah, as Alex said, it’s not currently possible, unfortunately. The terms of the bundle agreements with the licensors don’t factor in movies you already own. We are looking into what other options might exist.

I'm in the same boat, again. I have all the titles, except Afterlife. Don't qualify.
 
It is sad that the folks who license this content actually punish those of us who have bought every one of their titles over the years (and on many different formats). It sure seems that only those that are just deciding to buy all titles now at one time are rewarded. More than not, I find myself rarely able to take advantage of bundle pricing . Good for those that are.

I'm fine with not qualifying for the Super Bundle sales if I already own the titles. It's no different than not qualifying for promotions that's reserved for new customers. For example: Free trials or discounted price are usually reserved for new customers only. But I do have issues when the Bundle price is $6.99 to $9.99 and the normal price (if you don't qualify for the bundle) is $35. A 20% mark-up for un-bundling during these sales would be reasonable.

The Bond offer is not a Superbundle -- it's a limited-time price reduction on all titles (no need to buy <n> to qualify). In the US, they're all $14.99 except No Time To Die, which is $19.99. I'm not sure about other geographies. I'm in the same boat as you, though. I own them all already. 😂
