Target.com has "I Am Legend" for $13.95. Print the page and get BBuy to price match.:)

Or just go to Target.

Or just go to Target.

The deal is at Target.com, not necessarily the same price at the B&M stores unless it is in their weekly ad. Price matching will guarantee that you get that price in-store. Don't forget about sales tax too (at either store).

Saw this posted at another site this morning:

Following titles are at very cheap price at Frys , ONLINE prices... ADD TO CART, THE PRICES WILL REFLECT.... Some more titles

Titles at $9.99

Kung Fu Hustle
The House of Flying Daggers
Black Hawk Down
Hellboy
The Patriot
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
The Fifth Element (Re-Mastered)[
Underworld

Titles at $11.99

Gattaca
The 6th Day

Shipping pretty much kills it for me.

For Frys/Outpost, shipping is always a deal killer for smaller items like dvds. Then on top of it, even though I live nowhere near one, I get charged sales tax. So, I have never bought anything from Frys.

any deals on the special edition of batman begins?

Also I don't think Target even price matches their own website

Correct. When I staed that, I meant price matching at Best Buy or somewhere else. Should have worded it better. Thanks.

Target doesn't price match over website because the website movies are through Amazon. The store is usually more expensive.

WHV and code ANWBTS is probably your best bet. I got the regular release for $14

That makes absolutely no sense. I argued with the people at Target about this one, but they would not price match. I managed to get Best Buy to match Target's on-line prices, although they don't usually match on-line prices.

Not sure if it's been posted but Amazon has the Alien vs Predator Unrated 2 pack for $26.95 again.

Thanks, order placed :)

Walmart doesn't match online prices either. It's stupid in today's business climate.

I take a printout of the website directly to the cashier at Best Buy. They can usually do the override. If the discount is above a certain amount then a manager will get involved. I've had them match Target.com many, many times and haven't been turned down yet. I guess YMMV

risky business is available for pre-order and ANWBTS is still working. too bad i don't have any other warner stuff i want other than la confidential, which is still not up yet. lame.

thanks for the code

From a preview/trailer, the 3rd one seems like a waste of time.

The second one SU- u -u -u- u- u u ucked. Haven't heard anything about the 3rd one. I love the first one though. One of my favorite sci-fi flicks.

Its simply price per volume. The brick and mortar Walmart might buy 10 DVDs at $9.00 each, turn around and sell them for $21.99. The web site Walmart has large warehouses, several distribution centers, etc, and might buy 1,000 and therefore, get a volume discount. Maybe they buy them at $5.00 or $6.00 each. Therefore, the online site is able to sell them for less and still make the same amount of profit.

This is the exact reason I received when Barnes and Noble wouldn't honor their website prices.

actually, that doesn't exactly make sense, as Walmart, at least last I checked, didn't actually directly run their DVD and Music selection. It was sort of 3rd party contracted. Thus, contractors/orderers would come in, scan what was around, and then order as necessary. I also don't think Walmart online and Walmart are ran as seperate entities.

The online and store are run as seperate entities. My GF works with stores worldwide but does almost no work with the online store.

does she work in the electronics area, and more specifically, do ordering for DVD's and Music? my point here is that, at least for that section, they don't do their own work.

I wish Amazon US had that many titles in their b2g1 sales. Unfortunately, due to the state of the US dollar, two movies would cost around $60-$70 after shipping, or about $20-$23 per title.

Got my Rambo Tri. after 10 business days from DD...not too bad since it did say 7-14 business days.

yea I just tried to go through it, and it only discounted one of my 5 movies. And then it was still like 65 pounds, which would be over $20 a title. Not worth it, though I do want the animated transformers a lot.

and these work in a US PS3?

Except for any SD PAL extras (i.e. all video extras on Pan's Labyrinth).

$23 per import title is quite a deal considering the regular prices, but I understand how many looking for US-priced deals would balk. Thanks for posting, lgans. The email I got only linked to a few crappy ones.

There are actually some decent deals for titles you wouldn't normally import in this Amazon.co.uk sale. Remember that the prices listed are before VAT removal (but also before shipping..). Close Encounters of the Third Kind + Resident Evil: Extinction + Almost Famous: Extended + shipping = £38.21 = ~$76. I'm not actually interested in those but it's okay considering Amazon.com's current pricing for the first two.

Check region coding status and know that any SD PAL videos won't play.

Sold! Awesome man, i will have to check the site out.

McCurdy it says region 2, but the one on amazon.uk is region free. Is it just a mistake that it says region 2? I don't think it would play in my ps3 as region 3.

I don't know, it has HDdvds as region 2 as well, and hddvds are supposed to all be region free.

I think Amazon.co.uk raised their price on this before the sale. I recall a price drop at all retailers from the initial ~$30+ price.

TFTM BD is definitely Region Free. Both audio tracks are affected by the dead-sounding Prime gun, though, if you're familiar with this. :(

That sucks about the dead sounding gun, but glad it is region free. I just found out that it was on a bluray stats site. Thanks though, I just ordered. Hopefully it'll be here by next monday.

McCurdy it says region 2, but the one on amazon.uk is region free. Is it just a mistake that it says region 2? I don't think it would play in my ps3 as region 3.

There is only 1 UK animated Transformers blu-ray, and I believe it is coded for all regions - though you may want to check that on review sites first to be totally sure. It is, however, certainly the same disc that amazon.co.uk are selling.

Base.com will tell you that any UK blu-ray or DVD is region 2, as it is a region 2 DVD territory. Region 2 is meaningless in blu-ray terms; the regions are A, B and C, which should give you some idea of the level of research that has gone into them stating the region code of the Transformers BD.

EDIT: Oh - a whole slew of people got there first with more precise information. Sorry - I saw you had addressed me by name, so I thought I should respond.

Just purchased batman begins 15.86 and cloverfield 14.86 from Tower.com

I ordered Batman begins at Fye's / Sam Goody, it comes with a $5.00 rebate.
The total comes to $13.89 with tax (no Shipping) charge.

I have a Fye membership which gives a 10% discount.
I have been trading the SD DVD's in as the Blu-Ray titles are announced.

My point is that no one seems to mention the $5.00 mail-in rebate is it a FYE exclusive?.
There are 10 titles listed.

Kinda dumb, isn't it?

Anyone have any idea why when I goto checkout with some amazon.uk blu rays, they are cheaper than they appeared in my cart. It's not all of them, just some. Air force one, the crow, and black sheep are a few that are cheaper. Sweeny Todd isn't.

I've found that you have to check the last page or two (at least.) There's apparently a breakdown in the system somewhere. I don't know if it's the posters who aren't PMing the OP with their updates or if the OP is just not getting to the updates, but either way, the first post is woefully outdated (the Fry's listing hasn't been updated since early May.)

Thankfully, there are still posters contributing, so as long as you know where to look (the end of the thread rather than the OP,) you should still be able to find the deals. I will say that I'm disappointed in how the thread turned out. The major complaint that many of us lodged when the decision was made to consolidate all "sale/deal/bargain" threads into one sticky thread was that it would be tough wading through pages and pages of posts in order to find the deal. The "solution" was to have the first post continually updated, but again, an apparent breakdown somewhere in the process has led us to exactly where we don't want to be - wading through the posts, looking for the deals.

Imo, for the current system to work, we would need multiple people updating the first post. We would also need those who are updating the first post to do so based on the posts in the thread, rather than waiting for PMs. With those two changes in place, I think the thread would work as intended.

VAT (UK tax) removal. As I understand it, titles that don't drop in price are sold from a different place and don't have the VAT to begin with.

In for 1 Batman Begins and 1 Cloverfield from tower. Thanks guys great catch.

on a deal site, a wiki post/reply can be added, which actually becomes the 2nd post in the thread. the great thing about the wiki is that anyone can go in and edit it for the current deals. that is what this type of thread needs. hats off to the OP for creating this topic, but unreasonable to expect him to keep it updated around the clock.

A Wiki is actually a pretty good idea for this type of thread.

hats off to the OP for creating this topic, but unreasonable to expect him to keep it updated around the clock.

Nobody expects him to keep it updated around the clock, but he did say in the OP that he will be updating the thread every day (the last update was nearly two weeks ago.) He hasn't updated the "Fry's" heading in two months, despite the fact that there have been several sales since then.

Anyone not aware of the lack of updates to the first post could be misled into thinking that the stores haven't been running any sales. If the OP is unwilling or unable to update the OP in a timely manner (and this includes updates posted in the thread, not just the ones sent to him via PM,) perhaps it's time for the OP to relinquish control of the thread to someone else.

Other than the first time I viewed the thread, I've never even looked at the first post. It's just as easy to subscribe to the thread and just read the deals as their posted by other members.

If we all decide that wading through numerous pages of threads (nineteen currently) looking for the deals among the other posts is better than having the first post updated on a regular basis, fine. But if that's the decision, the first post needs to be changed to reflect that. As it stands, it's very misleading.

Just because you're fine with working around the problem, doesn't mean the problem isn't real or that it shouldn't be addressed.

1. The thread only has 10 pages for me.
2. You don't have to wade through anything. Most of the people in this thread have done that, you just need to subscribe and read the new posts when they come up - a few per day.
3. Even if someone is new to the thread, they don't need to wade through the whole thread either, since most of the earlier deals would obviously be over. All someone has to do is read through that last few days worth of posts (maybe 2 days).
4. It's not a workaround, it's a better way to do it. Even if the OP was updating the thread every day, there's sometimes deals that don't last a whole day. It's much better from a consumer aspect, to view the posts as they happen (via subscription) and act accordingly.

I agree the first post is misleading, so it should be changed. But other than that, there's no reason to change anything else. View the thread as you would any other thread of interest and you'll never miss a deal and won't have to rely on anyone else to update things. It's actually pretty simple.

There is no advantage to having someone updating the first post.

Just purchased batman begins 15.86 and cloverfield 14.86 from Tower.com

Those are absolute steals!

I disagree. If you're fine with the way things are now, good for you.

The OP just took over several weeks ago from another member and we started this new thread.
A member can't just take over the thread as the first post can only be editted by the OP.

If someone wants to take over, then a new thread must be created.

It's not easy maintaining this type of thread if daliy/hourly updates are needed.

The OP just took over several weeks ago from another member and we started this new thread.
A member can't just take over the thread as the first post can only be editted by the OP.
I didn't realize that this particular version was started on 06/18. Still, his last update was eight days after starting the thread. There have been a number of deals that have been posted in this thread that never made it to the first page. He's posting in other areas of the site, so he's been around - he's just not updating the thread.

If he didn't have the time (or inclination) to update the thread on a regular basis (the OP says daily,) he shouldn't have volunteered and accepted the responsibility, imo.

If someone wants to take over, then a new thread must be created.

I don't know that that's necessarily true. Aren't there three or four "moderators" for the Tier thread? Don't they all have the ability to update the tier posts? I believe the mods have the ability to allow more than one person to edit the OP of a thread, but I could be mistaken.

It's not easy maintaining this type of thread if daliy/hourly updates are needed.

The daily updates were promised in the OP, but every couple of days would probably suffice in most cases. He hasn't updated the thread in two weeks.

Again, if everyone's fine with finding the deals throughout the thread instead of listing them in the OP, then the OP should be changed to reflect that. Don't promise daily updates if you have no intention of updating the thread daily.

Steeb, I feel you are being somewhat unreasonable. There haven't even been that many "deals" in the last two weeks anyway. ...and just because it is in an ad somewhere, or someone posted it in this thread, doesn't make it automatic. If someone has a deal that should be posted in the first post, then they need to PM the OP so he can adjust it. That's basically how the job was founded, that the first post will be adjusted according to PMs received.
Also, a lot of these "deals" are very short lived. Some a couple days, and some just a few hours. That's impossible to keep up with. Amazon of Tower may have a great price on something, but 2 hours later the price goes back up, then back down again 2 days later... impossible to track.
The best way I believe to get these deals anymore, is to subscribe to this thread, and once a day or more read through the posts. The way a lot of these deals are being found anymore, I think the first post is all but an obsolete tool.

<sigh> Once again, if you're all fine with subscribing to the thread and/or searching through the posts to find the deals, that's great. Dandy. Fine. Excellent. But if that's the way it's going to be, the OP needs to be edited to reflect that. As of right now, the very first line of the OP is:

"This thread will always have all of the current Blu-ray DEALs on the FIRST page, so you won't have to search to find out what's available."

How is it unreasonable to expect the person who volunteered to maintain the "deals" sticky thread to... oh I don't know... maintain the "deals" sticky thread?

Why don't you take over updating the first post then?

:rolleyes:

Because I have neither the time nor the inclination. It would irresponsible of me to volunteer for a job knowing that I wouldn't be able to keep up with the workload. Again, I'll happily go along with the "seek out the deals as they're posted" method that everyone else seems to be advocating, but the OP needs to be changed to reflect that. There's no reason to mislead the readers of the thread, right?

It's not unreasonable, but since that's not happening, move on.

Continuing to state your complaints and your inability to adapt isn't helping.

The OP thought he could do it and he can't/won't/isn't. No biggie.

Steeb, have you PM'd ShagMan to ask about why he hasn't updated any of the deals? Or for that matter, have you PM'd the deals you've seen to him for him to update the first post?

Steeb, have you PM'd ShagMan to ask about why he hasn't updated any of the deals?
Nope.
Or for that matter, have you PM'd the deals you've seen to him for him to update the first post?
The deals I've seen were all in this thread, posted by other members. Since I didn't post them, I didn't PM him.

Once again for the cheap seats: since you're all happy with the way things are, why not have the OP edited to reflect that the OP will not be updated and leave everything else the same? Why leave the misleading OP in place?

ShagMan could be on vacation, it is summer after all. The wiki idea is a great one, since it is unreasonable (IMO) to expect one person to maintain this thread on a consistent basis (Unless he/she is getting paid). Let's all chip in...

ShagMan could be on vacation, it is summer after all.

He visited the site today.

Once again for the cheap seats: since you're all happy with the way things are, why not have the OP edited to reflect that the OP will not be updated and leave everything else the same? Why leave the misleading OP in place?

So you're the one complaining most vocally about how the OP isn't being updated, but we're the ones who need to go have ShagMan edit the OP to say that it won't be updated. I can only assume that it's too much effort on your part to suggest to him that he make that change. Instead you'd rather complain about it endlessly and tell us that we need to make him make that change. Whatever....

I never said that someone else should tell him to edit the OP. I suggested - publicly - the he (or a mod) should change the OP.
I can only assume that it's too much effort on your part to suggest to him that he make that change.
I made the suggestion to him publicly. If he doesn't read this thread, whose fault is that?
Instead you'd rather complain about it endlessly and tell us that we need to make him make that change. Whatever....

I never told you to "make him make that change." I said that if the consensus is that it's fine how it is, then we should come to an agreement that he should change it. I suppose I was operating under the assumption that the guy who volunteered to maintain this thread would actually read the posts in the thread and see that we'd come to an agreement. Perhaps my assumption was wrong.

If I was unclear and you thought I was suggesting that someone else should PM him, allow me to clarify that that was not my intention. I would just like some sort of solution to be worked out and agreed upon, if possible. Again, if everyone's happy with the way things are, I think the OP should edit the first post to reflect that.

From the first post: "If you have items to be added to this list, please PM me the info so I can add it to this post during my next update. If you do not email, don't expect the deal to make it to this post."
Guess he didn't make it very clear how he wanted to be contacted.... :rolleyes:

Again, I didn't post a deal, so I didn't PM him. I posted my concerns publicly in the thread that he is supposedly maintaining, in response to another poster who appeared to have similar concerns.

<sigh> Once again, if you're all fine with subscribing to the thread and/or searching through the posts to find the deals, that's great. Dandy. Fine. Excellent.
You don't have to subscribe or search anything. Just click the down-arrow next to the thread title, it will take you to the last unread post. The deals are probably not being PM'd to the OP. Why would anyone bother, if you can just post it for everyone to see immediately?

Hey Steeb answer me...why don't you take over!?

Hey Steeb answer me...why don't you take over!?

I've already answered your question - the first time you asked it. Did you not bother to read the response before posting again?

Let's not let this get too out of hand guys. I love a good debate myself, but I don't wanna see anyone get in trouble with the moderators. Can't we all just get along... :D:D:D?

In the interest of posting deals, Amazon has been on a bit of a cold-streak recently but they have a new deal running that might be of interest for someone taking the Blu-ray plunge for the first time:

Get Eight Blu-ray Movies for $10 Each (http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000249361) (with the purchase of a Sony PS3 or BDP-S300). For approximately $480 you can get a PS3 along with Black Hawk Down, Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Dogma, A Few Good Men, Gattaca, Life of Brian, Resident Evil: Apocalypse and The Fifth Element.

Amazon says, "You know you want a Blu-ray player."
http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/show/High-Def_Retailing/Amazon/Amazon_says,_%3Cem%3EYou_know_you_want_a_Blu-ray_player.%3C/em%3E/1893

Amazon is once again dangling a tempting incentive in front of it's target Blu-ray audience, this time offering your choice of players and a bundle of eight movies for $80.

The offer started today, and gives customer the choice of two qualifying Sony Blu-ray players, either the BDP-S300 ($379) or the Playstation 3 40GB ($399).

After adding the preferred player to their carts, customers can then select the Blu-ray 8-pack Starter Set for $80. The set includes 'Black Hawk Down,' 'The Adventures of Baron Munchausen,' 'Dogma,' 'A Few Good Men,' 'Life of Brian,' 'Resident Evil: Apocalypse,' and 'The Fifth Element' coming out to a total savings of 65%. If any of our readers have been holding out for a good time to jump into the realm of Blu-ray, this could be it.

No word on how long this Blu-ray player/starter pack offer will last, but the site says it's available for a "limited time," so our guess is that the clock is ticking.

At warnerbros.com this preorder is $34.94 DVD after ANWBTS discount code.
For some Blu prices after code:
Justice league of america season1 $33.57
batman gotham knight "anime" $18.87
batman begins $16.07
tmnt $18.87

Shipping is free over $50 I think.
Many people have tax though.

Folks, if people don't PM shagman, updates may not be done. Read the first post and help out instead of whining about it. Geezzz...

Go ahead and add this to the list of worst deals in technology history.
The first slap in the face is the $10 part, then they swing around the back of the hand with their old catalog titles.

Go ahead and take that offer and roll it up real tight and...

Jeez, the days of 5 free titles are over. It would have been nice if HD DVD could have survived another year.

Sure, it's not the best deal in the world, but I don't think it's all that terrible either. Yes, they're all older movies, but at least they're all pretty good ones (IMHO). If you're just starting out in the world of Blu-ray, then it's a quick way to build a half-decent library for a reasonable price. But yeah, you can get each title for a buck or so cheaper if you wait or hunt around.

Placed the order. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Guys, until this week, we have had zip, zero, good deals to put on the front page.

I have had a major work emergency this week (working 20 hour days), and haven't had time to read through the thread to pick out deals.

Here's an interesting stat: in the past month, ZERO people have PM'd me deals worthy of posting on the front page. PM'ing me would get much better results if you want to have the OP updated.

I do see a few deals that were posted this week, I'll try to go through the thread this evening and update the OP.

Can somebody do me a favor, and PM me the deals I have missed, to make updating a bit easier for me this week?

Thanks for the heads up lgans316. Placed my order, but I'll bet they'll cancel all orders at this price.

Well, already got it on HD for less than $30 shipped. :cool:

Guys, until this week, we have had zip, zero, good deals to put on the front page.

I'm sorry, but that's just not true. See this post (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=14221813#post14221813) for an example.

*sigh* And it wasn't PM'd to him, so what do you expect him to do?

Sales posted though PM are the responsibility of the OP to then update the first post with said information. No PM, no edit. He should NOT have to read through the entire thread constantly to get the information he needs to do his VOLUNTARY job :rolleyes:

*sigh* And it wasn't PM'd to him, so what do you expect him to do?

Frankly, I would expect someone who is maintaining a thread like this to monitor the posts for updates, much like they do in the tier threads and the "coming soon" thread. Obviously, I'm in the minority, as nearly everyone else has lept to his defense. I understand and accept that.

All of that is besides the point, though. If you notice, he claimed that, "until this week, we have had zip, zero, good deals to put on the front page." I merely pointed out that that isn't true, since there was at least one deal from last week that should have been posted on the front page. Yes, the guy who posted the deal should have also PM'd it to him, but that does not negate the existence of the deal.

I swear, it's like some of you are so quick to hit the "reply" button that you don't bother to read the post you're replying to. In that post, I wasn't pointing out that he should have posted the deal, I was pointing out that there was, in fact, a deal worthy of posting on the front page. His statement was incorrect and I corrected it, nothing more.

BTW - "volunteer" does not equate to "infallible". I think I've provided constructive criticism. I haven't attacked him or anything - I just dared to point out the lack of updates.

There is no PAL for BD, so it should be fine (assuming it's not region locked, but I'm not even sure what region the UK is in. B?)

The real question is, will they really honor it at that price and is it really a BD set (as opposed to an SD DVD set?) It looks like a good deal, if it works out.

"I will update this post at least once per day. If you have items to be added to this list, please PM me the info so I can add it to this post during my next update. If you do not email, don't expect the deal to make it to this post".

Its "our" responsiblity to update ShagMan, we haven't done so. Let's start doing it, case closed.

I would love to know if it is a different region, but the description is so messed up I don't want to bother gambling. I thought the UK is in B, so if it is region locked it wouldn't work here?

It is BD, due in November. Who knows if the price is for real? If the extras are SD PAL, the won't play on NTSC. the films will work, and most of warner are region free. US may get a release soon afterward though

Ok, let's get back to discussing deals and deals only. The OP has been kind enough to let you know he hasn't abandoned his post (pun intended). That should be enough. Well, it IS enough.

But, Fry's online shipping starts at $4.83.

I personally am tired of the complaints about the thread not being kept up. NO ONE should complain, unless they are prepared to take over the responsibility of the thread. That's the price to complain.

Remember AVS is NOT a deals forum. This thread is for the membership and should be kept up by the membership.

As somebody pointed out for me, I'm not posting "local deals". I see people posting stuff like "my fry's has blu-ray x for low price" or something like that... If it's not nation-wide at least, or available online, I'm not going to post it.

I also humored a member by putting the one-title deal on the top page, but do you guys really want to see a single save $4 deal like the Fry's one on the front page?

I'm pretty sure there's an amazon.co.uk bogo going on, can somebody PM me that info?

They've raised the price now, but so far my order is holding.

Only thing is I've read reports the DVDs were cut for UK for ratings purposes. If the Blu-rays are cut I don't want them. Will have to stay on top of this.

My daughters want this movie. So, do I just print this coupon out on a color printer or where do I get one?

As long as they're uncut and we still get the TrueHD soundtracks. With the conversion it comes to $30 shipped for me. Though, depending on how much they cost when they're announced in the states I might fare almost as well using CC rewards toward the US release. Usually WB has good prices on their catalog titles that CC at least reflects online. And there's always the WB store.

It clearly states on the coupon that it can NOT be reproduced, you know copied. :)

Apologies for assuming you didn't see the coupon in the post (hey, it's actually happened around here before). As for the actual coupon, it looks like you get it inside the case for the DVD version of the movie as an incentive to double-dip and give even more money to Disney.

They took a looong time to get me Cloverfield, The Fifth Element and Black Hawk Down. And the same thing happened with multiple shipping notices and all showing up in one box. But they came and the price was right. I have so many unwatched movies that I don't care as long as they arrive. The price is the main factor for me.

OTOH if you are planning a get together around a new release then quick delivery is much more important. In that case order from a quicker shipper, all other times why not just go with slow and cheap.

+1 and +1
I do the same. Between sd, hd, and br I have probably 25-30 movies I have never seen yet. Those keep me satisfied/entertained till whatever I have ordered makes it way to me in the mail. ...as well as this also makes it easier to wait a few months for new releases to come down to a better price and the cycle begins again... :)

...as well as this also makes it easier to wait a few months for new releases to come down to a better price and the cycle begins again... :)

Exactly. I can't relate to all the people who pre-order everything. I wait till I can find it for $15 or less and then jump on it. I don't even always jump at $15. $12 has a better figure. :) Plenty of movies stacked up to keep me entertained until then.

I agree. I probably have 150 DVDs I haven't watched yet and my XA2 makes them look so good I refuse to pay the premium price for Blu-rays unless it's something where the higher resolution soundtracks will make a huge difference. After years of buying DVDs on their release date for $15 I can't see paying $25-30 for new releases on BR.

I was/am suprised at how slow Tower shipping is, its now over 3 weeks since the order for 5 movies was placed and only 3 have shown up.
Still....at least i know now and as long as they turn up i'll have saved some $$.
Totally agree with the above, if a catalog title is over 20 bucks its of the list.

damn, gte747e beat me to the punch!

Forgive me if this topic has been brought up somewhere else, but I was wondering if there are any good sites for trading in your dvd's to get credit for buying blu-ray discs?

Good question, I'd like to know this as well.

Any place that will "buy/trade in" your Blu-rays, is not going to give you squat for them. You're way better off selling them on places like the AVS-marketplace, Amazon-marketplace, DvdTalk-traders-forum, or Ebay. Then take the money and buy new ones. If you like selling your BRs for $5 (which is what those places will give you), then I'll buy them from you right now. :D (seriously)

Although the same philosophy applies, they were talking about trading in DVD's (not BD)

Ahhh, got it. My bad... :)

Yes, that was obvious. We were agreeing with him.

Oh, I guess it was me that misread you guys then rather than you misreading him. :eek:

Depending on which DVDs you are trading in, I would suggest Amazon.com or Ebay. I sold a ton of DVDs on Amazon, but only ones that I could get $4 or more. For some older and more common DVDs (Harry Potter movies or LotR movies) you may only be able to get $.01. Once you factor in shipping, you actually lose money! I took about 20 of those DVDs to FYE or Blockbuster. FYE will give you the most store credit (about $2-$5 a movie), but their movies are so expensive, that it's a waste. I got about $60 from them and then waited for one of their B2G1 sales. I got 9 DVDs and 3 Blu-rays (all used), so I was pretty happy. Of course, this site is good too, but they tend to be a little over-priced.

I updated the OP with the Fry's sale and BestBuy sale... keep 'em coming, and PLEASE PM to me, I know I'm missing some here and there.

Didn't see this deal posted here, but maybe I'm blind.

http://www.deepdiscount.com/DVD---Anchor-Bay-Blu-ray-Sale_stcVVcatId479902VVviewcat.htm

Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Evil Dead II, and Halloween are all under $12 shipped at Deep Discount. Looked around at a few other place on the internet... Amazon and Tower- both places had it at $18 or more.

Just an FYI in regards to Halloween...a new version is coming later in the year.

This is the same special sale that DD and other e-tailers were running a few months ago. Looks like the sale is back. Thanks for posting it.

The source (http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/news/topnews.php?id=6952) is unclear. Just something to keep in mind should you decide to buy the current version (which in fact contains the incorrect color timing).

Awe man that's tempting. I would hesitate doing a preorder from an overseas store though. Is this guaranteed to play on region 1 players? Any word on a region 1 release yet?

There is not a new release of the Halloween Blu-ray disc, it is just being packaging in the new collector's set for the 30th anniversary.

thanks for the info. i haven't put in Halloween yet, but i should.

Forget about sites that offer credit. They lowball you bigtime what you'd get for your DVD trade in and then charge insanely high prices for blu-rays. They're only good for getting rid of dvds that no one will buy from you. Sometimes you can get rid of utter trash dvds for a decent price at spun.com, but i must stress the word "sometimes".

Ebay isn't that bad for selling off dvds, but i've always found Amazon to be much better for selling and buying used discs.

I don't know if it's a company wide sale, but BJ's had a display with a bunch of titles for 19.99. Doesn't seem like a deal until i tell you that most of them (maybe all) were Fox catalog titles. Robocop, 28 Days Later, Planet of the Apes, Predator and more... There were probably around 20 or so titles.. I just cant remember them right now.

Darn cheap, especially in comparison to my HD DVDs.

Apologies if this is off-topic for this thread...

I am aware of this thread (and its HD DVD counterpart where I used to look) for announcing particular deals.

Is there a thread where one could ask if anyone knows of a particular good deal on an item?

i.e. Instead of looking here for a post that says Movie ABC is on sale at Best Buy... is there a place I might ask where the best price for Movie ABC is?

Sort of a companion to the deals thread, but taylored to a specific movie.

As an example... I've been hunting around to see what the best price for the Spider-Man Trilogy on Blu ray is.. and also encountering the decision of whether or not to buy the "normal" one that is in a box or the Target-style on that is in a smaller case.

No HDMe2. There is nowhere else. Only just the last several months have they allowed these type of threads, before then you were only allowed to talk about MSRP... no sale prices. Now they have allowed 4 threads. Software for HD-DVD and Blu-ray, and hardware for HD-DVD and Blu-ray. That's it. If you need to ask or talk about prices for those things, it must be in those threads.

There isn't a thread specifically tracking deals on particular movies. Deals pop up anywhere on any movie, thats the purpose of this thread.

If you want to find a particular deal on the Spiderman trilogy, I would look at:

1. search this thread
2. check popular sites (amazon, deepdiscount, tower, buy, frys/outpost, bestbuy, circuit city, walmart)
3. check on Ebay, Craigslist and this forum buy/sell/trade section

As others have stated there isn't another thread for this and this isn't really the appropriate thread either.

The difference is that you're looking for the best PRICE of an item and this thread is about DEALS. Those two things are rarely the same. The odds of a DEAL happening on a specific movie that someone is currently looking to buy are pretty slim. DEALS are usually significantly discounted PRICES on movies that members may have on their wishlist, but are not necessarily looking to buy at that moment.

Anyone have more information on this (http://gizmodo.com/5024943/warner-bros-cutting-blu+ray-movie-prices-this-fall) Warner's price adjustment?

Please remember AVS is not a "deals forum". Our focus is not where to buy X title or player etc. Though we have threads like this one that help fill that void...we'll never be that type of forum. So other than this thread, there will not be any other software threads dedicated to finding deals on blu ray titles.

Anybody use Amazon code MAYDVDS5 successfully recently? It is supposed to expire July 15th. I've used it three times now (maybe I am cut off). It's $5 off $50 with Amazon Visa card purchase. Tried to get Iron Man (street date?) and Gotham Knight (7/8) pre-orders (total added to $50.90) without success

I used it last week or week before no problems. Tonight it does not work. Does anyone have a new amazon code?

Thanks to everyone who replied.. I suspected it was off-topic, and I also suspected I was correct in not opening a new thread because it seemed like something I shouldn't do.

No biggie.. I just figured I'd ask in case it came up. I do a lot of hunting around the Web, so I'm sure I'll run across the best prices for the things I'm looking for eventually. Meanwhile this thread has definately been good to me (as has the HD DVD one in the other subforum).

Only ONE discount per order????

read from the terms & condition page it says:-


Offer applies only to purchases made by retail customers from the Amazon.com Movies & TV Store. Limit 20 free units per customer.

Well, the prices are pretty ridiculous, but if you find 2 for $20.95 or at least one for $20 and for $24.95, the 3 are under $15 each.

Might be in for Shooter and Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, gotta see if I can find another one :o

Christ, 3:10 to Yuma went up nine freakin' dollars for this "sale"! I really hate it when they do that type of crap.

I'd like to pick up Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, but there aren't any other decent titles that I don't already have(albeit on HD-DVD).

It's the same movies all the time...or the "new ones" are really old movies put for sale again (ie. The Italian Job)

Thanks for the links.

I agree. I suppose this is a good deal for someone who needs to acquire these titlles....but I've seen these one time too many. Couldn't find even 1, let alone 2.

Somehow "Norbit" isn't on my "must have" list. :D

Added the B2G1, great for those people swapping over their Paramount to blu-ray!

Add me to that list. Never did get the MI movies on hd-dvd now i can get them in blu ray. I see some new titles there. I don't remember seeing next or black snake moan before. Could be wrong about that anyway some of the prices are still way to high. $27.95 for commando a 20+ year old movie. Finally amazon gives us a decent deal.

Just placed my pre order for LA Confidential and Speed Racer through Warner Home Video. Looks like the code is still active so, not to shabby. Now if they could just fix their shipping....

I picked up 21 titles, definitely helped me out.

For those that haven't done one of these with amazon, it helps if you group titles with the same price, and only buy in groups of three (the shipping's free anyway). I tried to dump everything in my cart at once, and it only gave one discount for the whole order.

Is there a $5 off $50 amazon code still available ?

Since I had a Amazon certificate, been waiting for this deal to get some of the Paramount disc's replaced. You can save an additional $10 off $50 if you use the Bill Me Later service. The code is BMLSAVES.

What is this? Do you have to have the Amazon credit card for this?

phew! i got both my blurays yesterday in the mail. towers online shipping status is garbage to say the least. atleast i got both my movies so in the end im happy thankfully.

What is this? Do you have to have the Amazon credit card for this?

It is a credit service. It is just one of the ways to pay for something online. Go to billmelater.com to find out about it. I've used it in the past to get a discount and then usually pay it off when they send a bill. You can make payments if you want. From what I can tell, it doesn't help or hurt your credit rating. I guess if you don't pay them they would report it.

I will definately look into that. THANKS!

Bill Me Later will review your credit report prior to opening your account. Thus, the inquiry will lower and hurt your credit score. Definately, not worth it to save $10.

I guess I should have mentioned that they check when you 1st use it. But I have yet to see anything about the service on my credit reports and I check mine twice a year. There may be a ding when you open it but it should be minor unless you open every credit application you see. Usually a hard pull affects your credit about 5 points. But based on the amount of the purchase, you can get no interest for up to 6 months, making it worthwhile sometimes. As with any credit though, you have to decide if it is worth it to you.

Depends on your credit.

My credit is checked once or twice per month as I'm always switching credit cards (had 15 different cards last year, but never more than 4 at a time) and my score has never been below 750.

Only ONE discount per order????

read from the terms & condition page it says:-

I had 12 discs at $20.95 each in my order and the discount was only $20.95. So I had to back them down to groups of 3 and make 4 separate orders. This has not been the case in the past, I know I have had 6 or 9 discs of the same price in a single order before and received the full discount. It does not prevent you from purchasing as many as you want in total between multiple orders though, so that limit of 20 free per customer would still apply.

Add me to that list. Never did get the MI movies on hd-dvd now i can get them in blu ray.

You may want to check out the difference in audio codecs available for blu-ray vs HD before you decide. I sold my blu-rays and bought HD for all MI.

The Amazon sale isn't much of a deal at all. The selection isn't great & the decent movies that are on the list are $28, which is nowhere near what I'd call a deal.

+1

It is if you find 3 $28 movies you actually want ($18.67 average). I know some of those $28 movies haven't gone below $20 on Amazon, which makes it a decent deal.

At this point any B2G1 is a deal as long as the price comes out to be $15-$17/title. I don't know that we'll see much better than that for a while.

I picked up Next, Bulletproof Monk, and Blades of Glory for $48.90 ($16.30/title) which isn't bad. It's ridiculous that Bulletproof Monk was $27 though!

I think there aren't a lot of Blu-Rays available that I'm interested in. I'm not rebuying anything I have on DVD (especially at $20-$30/title) and there just haven't been many new movies I want to own until this year and part of last year.

Later this year will be great thought (Ironman, Transformers, etc).

+2. Love how they raise the prices for the "sale".

I have almost all of those paramount titles on HD-DVD and see no reason to replace them right now, however, what concerns me more is the still very high price and lack of other studio titles.

I enjoy B2G1's as much as every other HD media owner out there, but can't justify $27.95 for movies like Die Hard and Crank. Blu _ray prices really need to come down or the format is just going to die. Most consumers seem happy with SD-DVD and who can blame them when BR discs cost $30.00

Case in point: in the Best Buy circular this week, Batman Begins was priced at $24.99, and right next to it, the SD was priced at $4.99. To the average consumer, which do you think they'd go for?

The prices will come down, give it some time. DVD was not adopted overnight.

VHS tapes at one time cost as much as $80, lest we forget (that isn't even factoring in inflation).

With Warner cutting blu-ray prices, it might cause other studios to cut down their prices as well.

Right, and how much did early VCRs cost too? 700? 800? 900? Considering the current value of the dollar (compared to the 80's), blu-ray is a steal, especially considering it is immensely superior technology.

With Warner cutting blu-ray prices, it might cause other studios to cut down their prices as well.

That's exactly what they did with sd dvd too, and yes, it did help bring prices down somewhat. Actually what it did, was in fuse the creations of the Collector's Edition's and such. Get the sigle disc barebones version for cheap, or pay more for the CE version.

I know this $$ thing is getting off topic BUT those above posts had me thinking. It's true, I paid $1300 for my first Sony Betamax (circa 1976) and 1 hour blank tapes were $25 IF you could get them. Was I upset? No way, I was thrilled to be able to record an off-the-air movie and I would pause to cut out the commercials. I still remember my first one, Play It Again Sam with Woody Allen broadcast over ABC.

HBO hadn't been heard of in my little home town and there was just some talk of a cable company coming in. My friends were thrilled and amazed to be able to come over and watch a movie like this in the home (21" round tube color RCA TV.) It's hard to believe I get the same response even today when they come over and see the Mits HC4900 picture.

My Pioneer laserdisc player was $500 ON SALE and laserdiscs were also in the $90 price range. My first JVC Super VHs deck was $999 and amazingly enough, even though you could buy regular VHS tapes for around $4, somehow they managed to get those blank Super VHS tapes back up in the $25 bracket (I later learned to drill a hole in the case of the regular VHS tapes and be able to use them as SuperVHS; and it worked pretty well).

Just-out VHS movies were only for the rental stores, no buying Star Wars within a few months.

But...the problem is; we've grown accustomed to instant gratification and seeing first-run movies on SD DVD for relatively cheap prices. As Bluray is adopted by the masses (we hope), things will change. I think (and hope) that studios realize they can't go back to 'good-ole-days'.

You guys are almost comparing apples to oranges. Back then, we didn't have free trade and munufacturers couldn't have players and media all made overseas for pennies on the dollar. This "home theater" thing back then was also a very niche market, where as today it's mainstream. The more product they make, the less per unit it costs. The technology back then was also new, where as now we are always building off of old technology.

Case in point: in the Best Buy circular this week, Batman Begins was priced at $24.99, and right next to it, the SD was priced at $4.99.

actually $5.99. :)

Don't forget DVD was competing against VHS (laserdisc was a blip). BD has to compete against a higher quality product. The difference is not that obvious to most people. Price is going to be the only way to sell it.

Alot of BD's and HDDVD's that I've seen aren't worth the upgrade over regular DVD's and I drink the hi-def Kool-Aid!

The prices will come down, give it some time. DVD was not adopted overnight.

VHS tapes at one time cost as much as $80, lest we forget (that isn't even factoring in inflation).

This is wandering off-topic... but worth noting if you are making price comparisons... There was no competition for VHS/Beta other than itself. Once VHS beat out Beta for consumer adoption, there was no other choice. Consumers either bought a VCR or they didn't.

DVD was a harder sell at first because it didn't let you record and folks who already had VCRs were happy with them... but DVD won out eventually because of other features like no rewinding and ability to jump immediately to anywhere, longer lasting media, and better picture quality.

Blu ray really only offers better picture quality over DVD... and while that is important, in order to get the better picture quality (and yes audio too) you have to upgrade your TV, audio receiver, and speaker setups to really take advantage. DVD only required a DVD player to replace the VCR. Blu ray requires you to pretty much replace everything.

So the early adopters buy into Blu ray quickly.. but mass adoption takes longer... and since Blu ray requires more other upgrades, don't expect it to happen overnight.

Yes, this thread is wandering way off target.
I suppose this is a great indicator as to the amount of sales we are seeing. :(

does that 5.99 BB batman begins SD comes with free movie ticket too

I looked up a lot of the upcoming blu-rays and all the ones I checked so far are at least $2.00 cheaper on this website compared to Amazon.
From their FAQ :
I received my order and it's missing some items. Why?
To expedite multiple-item orders, shipments may originate from different warehouses and arrive at different times. Also, bac
kordered or pre-book items (see below) usually ship separately from items currently in stock.
What is a "Pre-book" item?
A pre-book status is assigned to items available in the future. You can order these products ahead of general release, and our shipping department will coordinate delivery to try to get the item to you on its release date.

They use media mail to ship but only $1.99 per order no matter how large the order. This place may beat Amazon.

Oddly enough I just noticed their are in the same town I grew up in, Glenview, IL. Small world.

Yeah, a lot of the prices are really good if you're just looking for single disks. I don't know anything about them, but I got my Godfather order in.

Family Video is running all the budget titles like "Beer League" on Blu-ray for $6.84. That is the cheapest I've seen them go for.

I have ordered from Family Video before. It was slow shipping but I did get my order and it was fine. Took about 2 weeks each time, if I recall correctly.

Right, and how much did early VCRs cost too? 700? 800? 900? Considering the current value of the dollar (compared to the 80's), blu-ray is a steal, especially considering it is immensely superior technology.

VHS was an immensely superior technology back then too. For non AV afficionados and non-wealthy, the prices of a BR is way too high as it is. I for one cannot understand why FOX consistently charges more MSRP for titles when other studios can release for less. It sounds more like greed than anything else. And how can anyone argue against lower prices and defend the high prices charged to current titles? Just a thought.

Did you not see the post above for the Godfather Trilogy for only $64? :rolleyes:
I totally missed that one too.:o

When you guys find stuff that is a 'Hot Deal' you gotta put that stuff in Bold.

I've never used this place before but I saw this deal on another site. Godfather Restoration Blu-Ray for $64.35 (about 49% off) and get free shipping with GAMEPRO7. They charged sales tax in my state.

I don't know guys, I don't get why a trilogy costs so much. This just isn't a deal to me. With tax it still ends up almost $23 per movie. Usually the more of something you buy, the better a discount you should get. I try to get movies around $15 each. So to buy 3 of them at $23 in a package I just don't see how it's a great deal. And $20 more at Amazon, that's rediculous! $29 each?? Comparing it to that means nothing to me...
