The Princess Bride (2 Discs) (Includes Digital Copy) (Blu-ray) (Widescreen) (Dual-layered DVD)

The Princess Bride (2 Discs) (Includes Digital Copy) (Blu-ray) (Widescreen) (Dual-layered DVD) for $14.99

Apr 30, 2010 6:25 PM

Based on William Goldman's novel of the same name, The Princess Bride is staged as a book read by grandfather (Peter Falk) to his ill grandson (Fred Savage). Falk's character assures a romance-weary Savage that the book has much more to deliver than a simpering love story, including but not limited to fencing, fighting, torture, death, true love, giants, and pirates. Indeed, The Princess Bride offers a tongue-in-cheek fairy tale depicting stable boy-turned-pirate Westley's journey to rescue Buttercup (Robin Wright), his true love, away from the evil prince (Chris Sarandon), whom she had agreed to marry five years after learning of what she had believed to be news of Westley's death. With help from Prince Humperdinck's disgruntled former employee Miracle Max (Billy Crystal), swordsman Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin), and a very large man named Fezzik (Andre the Giant), the star-crossed lovers are reunited.

Added at the suggestion of @loosecannon67, rather than to compete with his posting.

Oh, and shipping is $2.99, or you can pick it up at the store!

One of the best movies ever! I have two regular DVD copies but tempted. Anyone know if the Blu-Ray is an improvement over the regular DVD? From what I understand some are not really transferred with improved video.

One of my all-time favorite movies. Not sure how much of an improvement there is in the Blu-Ray version, but 2 versions for $14.99 is...

INCONCEIVABLE!

@peaty: The video quality is the same on both. I own the DVD and bought the Blu-Ray version last year hoping for the same, but no luck.

@muniz: Uh, if you think the video quality for this movie is the same on the Blu-ray and the DVD, you either don't have an HDTV, you have something hooked up wrong, or you need to go to the optometrist. The Blu-ray looks great!

@drgabber: He knows and he answered my question. We all know Blu-Ray movies can be better but many times the older movies are just put on Blu-Ray disks and not really Blu Ray quality. Best analogy I can use is to take a VHS and just copy it on to a DVD. The movie is only as good as the source. Because of this you can buy a BR disk and it looks pretty much the same as the regular disk. That is why I asked.

Nice find! One of my all time faves. Fitting that this is my first ever blu-ray purchase. :)

@peaty: He may have answered your question, but the answer was wrong. The source for this Blu-ray is a really nice print from film. Film is much higher resolution than HD. Here are some direct comparisons between the DVD, an HD broadcast, and the Blu-ray - http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1129177

Cool then that is what I wanted to know if it was an upgrade or not. I'll have to look into the Amazon copy, I'm a prime member.

Looks like it's actually down to $12.99 now.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
