Use this coupon

[rack04]

Seems questionable because the picture title is "editedym4".

[DodgeV83]

Ah, I found the original

http://img242.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cc40200zk2.jpg

It seems someone edited out the "photocopies will not be accepted" line...

It'd probably be safer to walk in the store and find the newspaper weekly mailer things they leave around and use that.

[Smonkey]

Looks like it's a mailer for new home owners.
I think you might not get to use it if the salesperson was on the ball.

[Preditor74]

Used it at my Circuit City no problem. The only thing is it says "No reproductions or photocopies"

If you print both sides there should be no problem.

[Star56]

I just read this post 40 minutes ago. Printed out the copy. Ran down to my CC...took it in with my receipt from last night.....got the full coupon value rebated!

Thanks guys!

[Rakesh.S]

am i missing something here?

how does this imply "hddvd for $159?"

edit

never mind..xbox 360 add-on.

[bfdtv]

never mind..xbox 360 add-on.The drive works with PCs too, although to actually view HD-DVDs with the latest version of WinDVD, your system must be compliant, i.e. with a HDMI video connection and monitor.

[cnickersonjr]

Thanks for the coupon. I won't be able to get me one until around thanksgiving. Hope they're still in stock.

[lymzy]

although to actually view HD-DVDs with the latest version of WinDVD.

Is this confirmed?

[Khurram]

How did you guys print out the front and the back of the coupon?
I only see the front side of the 40 dollars off 199 coupon..am I missing something?
please let me know asap as I purchased the hd dvd on friday w/o the coupon and want to go and try to get a rebate...
thanks

Where's the other side?

[Joe-Six-Pack]

Here's the whole coupon

http://www.yourfilehost.com/media.php?cat=other&file=CC_3_coupons_Nov.pdf

[Star56]

There are two pages to the PDF...print both (front and back).

[pedra12]

I purchased my drive yesterday from CC and took the coupon in and they gave me back the $40 + tax. So very nice. :D

[suki24]

they will refund you the difference? even though it says on the coupon not valid on previous purchases?

[paulbh]

I bought the drive with in store pick up. I brought the coupon and they adjusted the price. Great deal (and it includes Kong)!

[SDouglas]

Can't this coupon be used twice? If so, one could get a really good deal on an HD DVD player that happens to play Xbox games, stream media from Windows PCs, etc. from Circuit City:

Xbox 360 Core: $299 - 40 = $259 + tax.
Xbox 360 HD DVD Drive: $199 - 40 = $159 + tax

Total: $420 + tax.

Haven't tried this, though.

SCD

[Anthony1]

I know this isn't the Playstation forum or the Nintendo forum, but wouldn't this coupon work with the Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii as well?

Also, I downloaded that PDF file, but I still don't understand how this is a front and back page. It appears to be a front page, and half of a back page, Are you guys taking the whole page to them, or just the coupon itself? Are you glueing the front and back of the coupon together? If somebody can explain in more detail how to make this coupon look legit, I would appreciate it. I would love to use it to try to get my PS3 as well, lol.

[marcello696]

I just got back from CC and the coupon worked like a charm. Thanks for the heads up

[tonywood]

Do I need to print both sides?

[pedra12]

yeah pretty much. The cust serv clerk just adjusted it. :cool:

[pedra12]

Do I need to print both sides?

No, I only had the cupons side and it worked. :)

[Blippy2005]

Just got back from Circuit City and got the Addon drive for $160 + tax. not bad at all. Remote + King Kong in the box as advertised by MS.

Firing it up with 360 then moving to test with PC.

[Blasst]

they will refund you the difference? even though it says on the coupon not valid on previous purchases?Worked today for me at C.C in Santa Ana,Ca. I bought mine on Friday from them. I say just print the PDF, and take it in and see what happens. You can't beat a HDDVD Player for $160 plus tax!! Now I can watch HDDVD in the bedroom:) Thanks to DodgeV83.

[DANSK]

worked for me too. nice work. $160 for the add on.

[jholzbauer]

Wow! Mark me down as another success story! A big thanks to Dodge V83.

When I picked it up, the sales clerk warned me about how they made a big mistake using USB to connect it as it would never be 1080p. I told him how it'll output 1080p over VGA and 1080i over component. He said that was dumb also bc VGA was an inferior technology. I didn't feel like arguing anymore, I just smiled and walked out giddy as a school girl with my new purchase.

[OconRecon]

...print the PDF....

Here's an additional link. Scroll to the bottom to watch the countdown until the download is complete.

[Duaned]

Can't wait to see if anybody runs this off a pc.. That would be great to bypass getting a 360(not saying it isnt a great console) and hook directly to my htpc.

[flipcody]

It worked for me as well! Thanks! Trying out HD movies for $160 with a free movie is a lot easier for me than getting the $400 components. As people have stated this player is a LOT faster than the HD-A1 (my buddy has one).

Even my wife is amazed with the picture. We compared the King Kong DVD to the HD-DVD and what a difference! I'm using component cables from xbox 360 into a tube crt hdtv.

[DodgeV83]

Your welcome guys :-D

[NOFX]

Do you have to print it with color I only have black ink.

[hardballpete]

I had ordered mine online last thursday with overnight delivery for friday. Went in yesterday morning with the coupon and went srtaight to the customer service area where there were 2 young sisters waiting to help me. Said I ordered online, forgot I had the coupon, and could they credit my visa. They looked at the coupon, said "no problem", and a couple of minutes later was walking out the door with a $40 credit on my card.

Piece of $40 cake!

Love the City, y'all!

Damn all of my cc are sold out of Hd dvd :(

[jayselle]

They were in my area yesterday. They got another shipment in today. I talked to two and they both got 6 in. Circuit City receives two shipments a week in general (not just the add-ons)

[bpmurr]

This seems like a pretty good deal. The only thing that worries me is investing in a library of titles I might not able to use in the future if the format loses. Are most HD DVD titles going the DVD/HD DVD combo route? At least that way I have a DVD copy of the title and haven't pissed away all my money.

I called them back and they are getting a shipment today, hopefully that includes the HD-dvd.

[GMan4911]

I don't think you should worry about that. As long as your player functions, you will be able to play them back. Both formats will be around long enough for combo-players to hit the market so it's not like any of the discs you buy today will suddenly become unplayable.

Well it looks like it must be a pretty good deal because both of my local Circuit City locations sold out by the time I left work at 5pm. lol I'll try to get one soon.

[ViceStan]

Is there anyway to use this drive on a plasma without an x-box?

[flipcody]

Is there anyway to use this drive on a plasma without an x-box?
no

[GMan4911]

Not currently. There are some people investigating whether the drive can be used on a PC - check the HTPC forum. The core XBox 360 can be had for $200 after MIR now so you might want to think about that.

Same here, except the young sisters part!

[phantomxc]

The girl at CC told me today that every store in the state of utah was sold out of hd-dvd drives :(

Me too. It was pretty awsome. :cool:

[NOFX]

They told me they were getting a shipment in yesterday at 5! Got there at 5:30 and it was all sold out again! :rolleyes:

[dustoff]

Online said none in stock. Called the store in Plano they had 2. Got there they had one. Used the coupon and picked up PE all for 200.25 with tax...

Guy walked in behind me by about 2 minutes and was looking for one as I was being checked out...

Glad I left work when I did...

[RommelB]

how can i print both sides. the picture only has the fron with the bar code. the link that says it's the full coupon doesn't work. i'd like to pick something up from cc. thanks.

[dustoff]

I just printed the coupon side on a piece of paper and the clerk took it... No issues...

[bpmurr]

Yeah this is a hot deal I grab the last one in the Baltimore, MD area during lunch along with Blazing Saddles. :)

[omarv]

worked for me in Dallas on Central Expressway

[househusband36]

me too:
Got an email from cc saying that it was back in stock, raced to salem nh to find 3 on the shelf. use the coupon i printed. it didnt scan, the women just typed in the code from the bottom of the coupon and all was fine. Im surprised the email thing worked.

[blade321]

Did the new stock include KK? There is nothing in stock in the Bay area - I can barely contain myself!!

[automata]

Picked one up today on my lunch break with the coupon. Thanks for posting it.

[briankmonkey]

Did the new stock include KK? There is nothing in stock in the Bay area - I can barely contain myself!!

nope, I checked all of the CC's from Daly City down to mountain view the day I read about this coupon.. Still nothing available.

I didn't ask if they take rain checks.. Anybody know if they do?

[blade321]

Not sure about rain checks. I did call the 800-number and asked if they would honor the coupon for phone or web orders. No dice - they said I'd have to wait until a local store had inventory.

[knpm]

thanks Dodgev83 for the heads up on the coupon.
I was able to get a pride adjustment.
they could not scan it but they just typed in the code.

Well that sucks. Thanks for the info.

I stopped by Fry's (Palo Alto, CA) today, they had plenty of the HD-DVD add-on's in stock. The box is much smaller than I expected. I was also suprised to see them in stock, I read that they had sold out everywhere.

[kwaidonjin]

yeah, thanks for the coupon. worked in southgate, mi. .........i got it for 169 with tax, i would pay that much for a good dvd player let alone a high def one.

[Dave Mack]

should have been $159...!

[Robert Clark]

Thanks for the coupon! Worked like a charm at the Santa Ana CA CC.

Now I need an XBox 360 to try it out. If this matches the A1 in picture quality via component, I'll sell my A1 and XBox, making my rack a little simpler...

[kwaidonjin]

yeah, 159 plus 10 dollars tax.......

[mimason]

Used it 2x in under 5 minutes. Once for the HD-dvd drive(last one) an once for two Nintendo DS's for Christmas gifts.

[GotHDTV?]

It worked for me too! I had to go to a CC in not that great of an area, but I was willing to go there on Tuesday at Lunch time to use my coupon. There were only 2 left in the store and I got one. I was really worried because the checkout lady started to read the coupon. I was like damn I'm in trouble. Then she tried to scan the coupon, which I thought I was out of the woods, but it would not scan. She ended up manually typing it in. That was close! I should have printed the coupon higher then 600dpi.

Anyways, Last night (Wednesday) I see online that all the stores in the DC area restocked. I guess I could have waited so I would not have to travel 40 miles total, but I didn’t know if there would have been a shortage.

[GotHDTV?]

Now I need an XBox 360 to try it out. If this matches the A1 in picture quality via component, I'll sell my A1 and XBox, making my rack a little simpler...

Robert,

Next Thursday, they might sell 1000 Xbox360 core systems for $100 each at Amazon if it wins the vote. I'm going to try to get one, so I can have another HD-DVD/Xbox360 for my bedroom. You still have to buy the Component cable if you get the core though ($40). See this link for more details.

[Jeff Lampert]

What a deal! Considering you get King Kong, and asssuming you would have bought that movie separately, the puts the HD DVD drive at around $ 140. That is a price I imagine many people would pay to have a highdef disc player. I mean, that is cheap. Very cool!

[SuperGrafx]

I'm glad I saw this thread. Talk about timely browsing!

[Wesley5]

Not sure about rain checks. I did call the 800-number and asked if they would honor the coupon for phone or web orders. No dice - they said I'd have to wait until a local store had inventory.

I ordered online without coupon and went to local store today, they told me to come back when I actually take the delivery, only after that they can apply coupon for me, so it's no problem.

San Mateo CC will take a delivery today, so I guess other bay area CCs are probably also going to have them.

[stuart628]

I used the coupon today, and I had problems, first it wouldnt scan, then he manually put it in and it came up psp socom for 34.99...so they pulled the manager over and I thought I was toast, but he saw I bought a HD DVD player, plus Mi3, and he did a price override and I high tailed it out of there!!! I really hope HD DVD is around for a while and they start stocking the shelfs, Blue ray had a whole section where as HD DVD had 2 rows at the end of a section.....DONT SCREW US OVER RETAILERS!!!

[NOFX]

finally its at my cc but i think im going to wait until i get my ps3 and sell it on ebay!:D

[Frohlich]

I bought mine today. Same experience. The coupon would not scan in and the check out guy was baffled. I said he should try typing in the code and kaboom, it worked great. $160 for an HD dvd player and King Kong is a great deal. Not my long term solution but will work great for now. BTW, King Kong looked better then I thought it would (on my SXRD 60 inch TV).

[Blasst]

I used the other 10% coupon on a Samsung 30 " HDTV I bought last month. $70 more dollars back in my wallet, plus the $40 for the HDDVD drive. You gotta love AVS:)

[bdavidson]

I bought 2 with the 40$ coupon.

[blade321]

Sweet Deal! My local CC finally got in their second shipment. I was a little worried that they might not include KK, but they did. No problem using the $40 coupon.

Can't wait to hook it up tonight!

[poppagene]

Haven't tried this, though.

SCD
Microcenter has the core and premium on sale with a $100 mail in rebate (in store purchase only) so 199.99 for core after rebate or 299.99 for premium after rebate. link to microcenter ad (microcenter.com/images/specials/1106b.front.full.jpg)

same thing with me, this weird $35 psp thing kept showing up. finally they just overrode it. considering it also came with KK it's like a HD drive for only $135!
(although until whoever it is that is holding up HD DVD PC player software for whatever reason decides to just be smart and let people use these things on PCs before the holiday season, it's kind of a lump of coal for me at this point)

[jaymerkramer]

Awesome deal thanks for the post guys. My local store showed it in stock on line.(St. Peters, MO.) I went to get one, couldn't find it on the shelves so I asked if they had some in back. The young teenage girl informed me that they were sold out, when I informed her that the website showed them in stock, she told me that the website was incorrect. I used my blackberry and ordered it online, waited 20 minutes and low and behold when I went to pick it up at customer service, they had it waiting for me. I informed the lady behind the counter that I had this coupon but I couldn't get it to work online, she told me no problem and refunded me the 40 dollars plus gave me another 10 dollars off for the "confusion" with the sales clerk. $149.99 I couldn't be happier. Very happy with the unit, King Kong looks great and the new HDDVD menu system is pretty cool how it overlays the movie and has picture in picture director comments. I just put a bunch of HDDVD's in my que on Blockbuster online.

So to get to my point, yes the coupon worked for me. Thanks again!

[FredProgGH]

You should have gone back and bet the first lady $20 they didn't have it in stock- you could have walked out with it for $129!! At the very least you should have gone over with it under your arm, shook her hand and congratulated her on winning the dipsh!t of the day award.

Ordered it on Blackberry right in the store- Uber-geek-kewl :D :D

[dac_fan2001]

how's the remote, does it light up well?

[jaymerkramer]

how's the remote, does it light up well?

Yes, every button is backlit green(came with energizer batteries also). I didn't have the 360 remote, so it is a nice add on. My wife is happy now, she hated using the controller to watch movies. Plus she could never figure out how to turn off the 360 with it. The power button on the front of the 360 is very picky about when it wants to work.

[dac_fan2001]

i just tried using that coupon on cc website at checkout and its not valid.

[jaymerkramer]

i just tried using that coupon on cc website at checkout and its not valid.


It only works in store.

[jfischer]

I just got back with mine, the girl at the checkout didn't give me any problems. In fact, it turns out she gave me $50 off, so I got mine for $149 :)

[chriscic]

Ahhhhh... I read about 10 success stories here and then it doesn't work for me. The clerk said it wasn't an original coupon (i.e. a reproduction) and refused to take it.

To be clear, when folks are printing it, are you just printing in portrait mode? The coupon is really small that way. I enlarged it by printing landscape and maybe I shouldn't have.

Actually I'm surprised so many have gotten it to work. I mean, YMMV always on stuff like this, but geez isn't a computer printout obviously different from a coupon you get in the mail?

Maybe I will try again at another CC later.

[jfischer]

I printed mine in landscape, in color. Yes, it was obviously printed on the computer, I told them that I got it off the Internet. Didn't seem to matter, in fact 3 different people got involved in the transaction and nobody said a word about it.

[mdehamer]

I used it here in SD to get a drive and for a second I didn't think they were going to take the coupon. When the girl behind the counter tried to scan it and it didn't work another assocaite walked over to see what the issue was. The second girl took the coupon and was looking it over front and back and I thought for sure they were not going to take it, but a few seconds later she just did a price adjustment and I was on my way.

Chriscic: I printed mine at work on a color laser printer both front and back without enlarging it or anything. I then cut it out and stuck it in my wallet for the day so by the time I showed up to the store it looked a bit worn. I'm hoping that CC doesn't get wise to this because I'd like to go back and use another :)

[jfischer]

Just got done watching KK, and I am pretty impressed with this little thing. I don't have a Toshiba stand-alone to compare with, but it was obviously much more detailed than the SD version :)

Sound seemed good, I realize that we're giving up some sound quality with this device, but for the price it's pretty slick. No glitches at all during playback, didn't even notice the layer change (assuming that KK has a layer change - given its 3+ hour running time I would assume it does).

I'm running 1920x1080P through the VGA cable, and it looked pretty good to me. Much better than anything else I've seen in HD via OTA or DirecTV, that's for sure.

[BBS G35]

Wow, great deal.
If everything was sold seperatly it would look like this.

HD-DVD = $199
Xbox remote that comes with drive = $30 when sold seperatley
King Kong = $30 when sold seperatley.

So thats like $260 worth of stuff for $160!!!!!!

Sony needs to take note..(No remote...No HD Cable)..

[UxiSXRD]

I might have to try this deal and see if Jerk It city has it in stock. I've been growing set on the HD-XA1 but that would be a damned good price. My analog inputs will have to remain empty!

[mimason]

I just got back with mine, the girl at the checkout didn't give me any problems. In fact, it turns out she gave me $50 off, so I got mine for $149 :)

I can't believe you actually admitted to being dishonest. :(

[jfischer]

I can't believe you actually admitted to being dishonest. :(

I didn't even realize that it was $149 until I got home and looked at the receipt. Not sure how that qualifies as being dishonest?

[Lei-Zion]

Just wanted to confirm this. Worked for me as well. Placed my order online this morning. Drove out there with the coupon (printed the PDF file both sides). No problems what so ever. Only dissapointing part was the HD-DVD section I actualy had to ask someone for help finding it. The small shelf was hidden behind a stock cart. Dont know how they expect to sell any like that really wish they placed these in a more visable location.

[DvST8]

$30 off $150

[schticker]

Can't this coupon be used twice? If so, one could get a really good deal on an HD DVD player that happens to play Xbox games, stream media from Windows PCs, etc. from Circuit City:

Xbox 360 Core: $299 - 40 = $259 + tax.
Xbox 360 HD DVD Drive: $199 - 40 = $159 + tax

Total: $420 + tax.

Haven't tried this, though.

SCD

I would think they would take $40 off of the total. Of course, you could buy one item, leave, come back with another coupon, and purchase the second item separately. Same difference.

[Chris Ruhl]

Better yet, if you have a Microcenter around, you could get the 360 Core for $199 (after rebate) and the HD-DVD add on for $149 (CC). You'd have the 360 and HD-DVD for well under $400. Just build up the Core system.

[rkabir]

I got it from $159 using the coupon. Great deal...

[UxiSXRD]

Well I went ahead and did it. Same story as everyone else pretty much. I just printed it out on normal paper without any special options. They couldn't scan it but the clerk punched it in and it worked.

Just got done with MI:3. Pretty nice. Setup was extremely easy. I never even moved the 360 on it's rack. Put power to the HD-DVD drive plugged the USB in, started the 360 and loaded the software. Then put in the movie and away I went. Very good PQ and very fast and responsive.

Now the bad: The 360 is still loud as hell and in the quiet scenes can be pretty noticibly distracting. I now have genuine fear of ICT when I always pretty much disregarded it before (I have an HDMI equipped TV). Hopefully Microsoft can come up with a solution other than time and hoping a studio doesn't decide to implement ICT.

[NOFX]

Im still not sold on the hd-dvd/blue ray....Right now upconverting all of my dvd's and it just looks fantastic! Im just worried if I get this it would only improve the picture minmal. Anyone know if CC will accept returns the next day for a full refund if I decide not to get it.

[zhaofl]

I also got it for $159 at CC. The coupon actually scanned! After reading a post that my local CC rejected the coupon, I was very careful while printing the coupon.

For those have trouble with your local CC rejecting the coupon, here is how to get it to work.

When printing, set the Page Scaling to Fit to Printer Margins and check Auto-Rotate and Center. This will enlarge the image to 126% landscape. Set to highest quality of your printer and only print the coupon side. Click the three coupons and it should scan.

I printed on normal paper in color. The coupon looks decent enough so I did not bother to print on heavier paper.

[dragonyeuw]

I just printed it out on regular paper and the CC clerk simply typed the numbers in.Voila, 159.99!! I'm very excited to be joining the HD DVD camp.I picked up Batman Begins at Target the same day I got the add-on.I've been dropping not so subtle hints to my family for some HD movies as gifts for a certain holiday in a month's time :)

[necrolop]

I used this coupon ona PS3, haha, I was suprised when they allowed that.

[klemsaba]

I got mine today using the coupon. It wouldn't scan so the clerk took it to another register and it still wouldn't scan. He then found a supervisor who just keyed in the discount. Yea! King Kong is awsome!

[NLN987S]

There's a big difference in PQ between the upconverting players vs. the 360 HD DVD player!

[8ohms]

Went to CC at lunch with the coupon and pick me up a Xbox 360 Core System. Save $40 bucks. Now I am perplexed, cause I pre-ordered a Toshiba A2 from VE knowing quite well that all I have to do to start enjoying HD-DVD movie right away is to get the 360 HD-DVD drive from CC with another coupon. Maybe I will and just return it for a refund when my A2 arrive. What am I to do????

whatever you decide your going to get hd-dvd player. Its a win/win situation.

[kgronseth]

Anyone use a black/white printout of the coupon instead of color and have it work?

[CPanther95]

Title edited.

[GMan4911]

Yes. Mine was also scannable.

[apodaca]

Scored one with the coupon at CC but my wife did mention it was a reproduction - she countered by saing it was not a photocopy of the original but an original print out. My brother purchased one without any problems whatsoever.

[jagouar]

got mine as well... very happy with my purchase.

[Spencer Seung]

Just picked one up at CC as well. I printed both sides in color just cuz...well it's just a one time thing. I don't print much color stuff. Clerk couldn't scan it in but entered in the code like most folks and no problems at all.

Now I just need to wait for the holidays to be over so I can plug the thing in...

[carlos0001025]

Did you guys bring in all 3 coupons or did you just cut out the the 40 dollar off coupon?
Thanks

[jocktheglide]

oh boy what a deal folks you cant get any cheaper now for a 360 with add on...I missed this one though. dang it.

[wokisan]

My cousin up in Roanoke (our CC was closed last year) used the coupon to get me one yesterday. I'll have it tonight....can't wait. Of course he is probably checking it out on his own 360 right now....lol.

[NOFX]

Just downloaded an episode of CSI in HD via XBL and GODDAMN! IT WAS SIMPLY AMAZING! I really didnt think it would be a huge difference since I was upconverting all of my dvd's via 360 but man im ****ing convinced now! Im defitnely picking up a hd-dvd add on.

[rocketknight73]

I tried two days ago. DENIED !!!! Im so pissed. Where the hell do the REAL coupons come from. Someone said they got theres from a change of address packet at the post offfice so I looked....No such luck: ( I need this drive !!!

[mimason]

The 360 is only 480p for SD DVD's.

The 360 is only 480p for SD DVD's.

It will upconvert over the VGA cable since the last dashboard update.

[MovieLabs]

any chance of sending a new link to coupon, mine is erroring out,thanks

[Artmic]

You guys realize that if you have a 1080p tv u might not be able to play games/movies at 1080p on the xbox 360 even with the new update ?
I got the SONY XBR2 and it won't do games or movies at 1080p with the vga cable,

That probably means your TV's VGA input does not support 1080x1920.
You should still be able to game at 1080p over component with that set, if it's truly 1080p capable.

You are in fact playing games and watching Movies at 1080i if you sue component. Your TV will deinterlace the 1080i and it will be Displayed as 1080P as that is your panels native resolution. With you having an XBR, I am sure the set has a good deinterlacer, and you will essentially notice no difference. Just as a good Progressive Scan DVD player takes the 480i material and deinterlaces it to 480P, your set will do teh same with th e1080i signal. There is no converting of the signal at all, just the deinterlacing!!

[talbain]

Went to CC at lunch with the coupon and pick me up a Xbox 360 Core System. Save $40 bucks. Now I am perplexed, cause I pre-ordered a Toshiba A2 from VE knowing quite well that all I have to do to start enjoying HD-DVD movie right away is to get the 360 HD-DVD drive from CC with another coupon. Maybe I will and just return it for a refund when my A2 arrive. What am I to do????


damn you should have waited until yesterday and not only use the $40 off coupon like i did but get a free game of your choice as well (rainbow six vegas for me). now THAT'S a deal!.

so in the past two weeks i've used the coupon twice, once on the hd dvd drive and yesterday on a 360 system. both times it worked like a charm, no questions asked. i wasn't sure it would work yesterday because i was combining it with the free game ($60 "coupon" right there), but the cashier didn't bat an eyelash.

Your lucky, when I tried to use my coupon when buying my 360 yesterday they said no coupons (I assume because of black friday and that I was already getting a free game). Do you think I could go back with the coupon and have them credit the amount like some have done with their hd dvd drive?

[mkellypc]

Got mine yesterday. Walked into one store, got my HD DVD add on. Wouldnt scan, but entered manually and price adjusted. Went to another store and got My 360 Premium. Same thing, wouldnt scan, but this time it was a little different. They are now offering a free Project Gotham Racing game with purchase. They price adjusted $40 off for the coupon, then $30 off for the game. I said thank you, took my stuff and left. Since PG3 is not a game I really want I sent the wife in to return it. HD DVD add-on $160 + 360 Premium $330 = Pretty happy.

Damn, I should have pushed it harder. I JUST got back from getting mine. Mine rang up that way too, but the clerk was convinced it was a mistake, so he just manually discounted my add-on for me. Since I only had a printed copy of the coupon that wasn't 100% legit, I didn't even argue. Oh well, still a heck of a deal.


Oh, and I went to the Lake Zurich, IL CC, for anyone in the north shore Chicago area

[NOFX]

Damn I dont think I can afford it now...:( Hopefully there will be another sale after Christamas.

[GotHDTV?]

I gave the coupon to a coworker of mine and he said that he tried it on the weekend (Saturday). He said when they rang it up, it gave him an instant $10 off the HD-DVD add-on. Well at $189.99, you can't use the $40 off $199, so he could not buy it. He asked the Clerk about the discount and they said they will have this discount until next week (by then the coupon will expire).

I told him to try again this since it was a "Black Friday" weekend or maybe they were having a sale for that week. He said he would try as he said he would not buy it otherwise.

I wonder if Circuit City is catching on to all the coupon use for the HD-DVD drive and is putting a "stop" to it. Luckily, I already have mine.

Your friend should have just picked up a $10 filler item to get to $199 minimum purchase.

[jScottmsc]

Thanks for the Heads Up...

I got the HD-DVD add-on drive for $199-$40=$159 at Circuit City on Wed before Thanksgiving. Same as others...Wouldn't scan, but entered manually and price adjusted.

[MSpeed6]

buy 10 bottles of soda up @ the front. lol

[golbiga]

So if I goto CC tonight with a coupon will this work or has CC caught on? I have a different one that expires 12/30, I hope this works!

[GotHDTV?]

Your friend should have just picked up a $10 filler item to get to $199 minimum purchase.

You're right. The coupon says total purchase and not single item as we both thought. I think he is going to try it again today, but I'll let him know tomorrow about it not being single item if it doesn't work for him (i.e. he gets the $10 off) when I get into work tomorrow.

[GotHDTV?]

Does your new coupon have exclusions? If not, it will probably work.

[golbiga]

Well its not an original coupon, so I dont know if its going to work or not...Seems like CC is stopping w/ the scanned copies.

[reshp1]

Like I said, it isn't totally legit, but I think the managers won't give you crap about it seeing as you're spending $200 there, $40 will eat into their margins for sure, but I seriously doubt they'd be taking a loss.
I honestly had my doubts, and when the original cashier had to call a manager over to help him ring it up (he was new) I thought I was done for. But the manager very cheerfully punched it in manually, even after reading, aloud, the part that says "no reproductions." lol

[golbiga]

Well I will give it a try, its a 5 minute walk from my apt to CC. When you brought it in did you just cut out the coupon or bring in the whole sheet? Thanks

[reshp1]

I printed both pages of the PDF, back to back. I think that's probably the way to go since the expiration data is on the other page as the coupon. I kinda had it folded into quarters when I handed it to them, but that was just so it'd fit into my pocket.

[reddavid]

Night shift manager had no problem takeing $40 off. Day shift manager said it wasn't "the original" and wouldn't go for it.

I did the same thing. Used a color printer and printed on a little thicker paper (my wife is into scrapbooking and had some good quality paper), I then cut the edges off (so there wasn't any blank white on the sides) and folded it in half, so it looked like a flyer. Worked no problem, it didn't scan but it was keyed in no problem.

[GWBadger]

I printed just the coupon in color from this forum on regular stock printer paper and it worked fine last night. Only printed the front side.

[RommelB]

is there a similar coupon for best buy or other electronic retailers?

[bman3241]

I used the coupon this morning, it didn't scan but the cashier just typed it in, Thanks a lot guys the HD DVD add on is well worth it with the coupon

[DialItUp]

I just ried it on my lunch break and the cashier wouldn't accept it. Said it wasn't an original and that they have had several people try it already. Unfortunately, this is the only CC in my area...

[NOFX]

OMG I called every single CC in a 30 Mile radious in So-Cal and there all sold out! Today was the last day to use the coupon :(

Try using their website. Shows the stock at stores by zipcode. You might be able to find it by using a zipcode on the other side of town.

not sure what u mean but what I did search Xbox 360 on the website and it says out of stock of all the hd-dvd in my area.

[korndawg]

I was able to to get the add-on HD-DVD player for $160 at the CC in Burnsville, MN. They didn't have any on the shelf (nor even a spot for it). Found a worker, he went in back and came back out with one. Gave them the printed coupon from the net and they honored it, no probs. Now if my Panny plasma would just get here from Amazon!! They dlayed it.

[payso]

I got the last one from a local CC today with no problems the coupon was ringing up as a psp game or something, then she made it go threw. I didnt do the pdf one I just printed the 3 coupons togethor and cutt the $40.00 discount off.

[regulator7]

Got my last night with coupon...(THANKS!!)

Similar story here...didn't scan, but was promptly typed in by associate....no problems at all!

I think the coupon expires today...so here's a thread BUMP! Go out and buy it today if it is available!

And best of luck to HD DVD...I think I have chose which side I am going to support...Thanks again for the heads up on the coupon!

[MSpeed6]

how long is that coupon good for??

[NOFX]

Just tried it today and it worked! Today the last day! Cashier typed it with not problems and I didnt even have a color printer! Drove 30 miles to get it!

[regulator7]

If I recall correctly, it expires today...you can check the coupon's fine print...

[GMan4911]

Supposedly there is a coupon with a 12/31 expiration date but no one has posted it yet. If you need to get one, your best bet is to check your post office for one of those new mover's packages. That's where the now expired coupon supposedly originated.

[Kolgar]

OMG IT WORKED!!!

I was so reluctant to use the pdf coupon but figured the worst they could do was say no, so what the heck. Plus today's the last day!

I printed it in color and went into the store. Their website said they were in stock so I didn't panic when I didn't see any drives on the shelves. I asked the kid at the media register if they had any in stock and he checked - yup, two. So he started to ring me up.

"You're going to ring me up here?" I asked, thinking the girls at the service desk would be better.

"Yeah," he said.

"OK, can I use this?" I handed him the coupons.

He squinted at the page a moment and said, "No, this isn't a DVD recorder."

"No," I said. "This one. Forty dollars off purchases of $199. The drive is $199."

He scanned it and BOOM, it went in!

But I wasn't out of the woods yet. He went to the back to find one and I waited for five minutes before he returned.

"The computer says we have two but I didn't see any."

Pretty soon there's five guys turning the store upside down. I stood there for 10 minutes wondering if I was going to walk out of the store with a player or not.

FINALLY, one of the guys comes out and says, "They were in a tote!"

I'm looking at my new HD-DVD player right now.

:) :) :)

[SRIBB43]

Just left CC w/ the 360 HD DVD. Came across this coupon tonight and got to CC 30 minutes b4 closing time, man was I lucky they had them in stock @ the last minute

[quikric]

I've been thinking about this for aweek now and decided what the heck,I was goinna pull the trigger on he last day,so I called the local CC and was told they had 2 so I printed the coupon and drove to the store and picked up the Xbox 360 HD-DVD add on just before closing.Coupon wouldnt scan and the cashier asked where I got it from "Did you print this from a omputer she asked",I kinda mumbled an inaudable reply so she just typed the numbers in and oh yeah,the add on was mine for $159 plus tax.
Thanks to the OP for the coupon and all the great AVS posters who encouraged me with their success with both the coupon and the add on itself!

Wow im I just came back from my friends house after getting the HD-dvd and it looked simply amazing! But its werid when I got home and tested with my own tv(Samsung 32' LCD/HD)King Kong HD looked great at first glanced but when I tested with my regular dvd of King Kong there's really hardly a difference. To a point now that im thinking of sending it back. My 360 upconverts all of my standard dvd's to HD via VGA and really its the greatest device ever for only 40 bucks! Ill give it one more day before I make a final decision.

What rez is your TV? AND what connection did you use? Component or VGA? S-Video? Composite?

[NOFX]

What rez is your TV? AND what connection did you use? Component or VGA? S-Video? Composite?
I Have a Samsung 32" LCD HDTV (LN-S3251D) and im using a VGA cable at 1360 x 768. I mean really there's hardly a difference from King Kong HD and Standard King King. I put the King kong HD on my HD player and SD King kong on my 360 player and I can barely tell a difference. I mean its great especially if you cant upconvert your dvd's but Im seriously thinking of sending it back because there's minimal improvement. What makes no sense is that when I downloaded an episode of CSI in HD via XBL it totallly blew away all of my CSI dvd's!!! But King Kong didnt?

[Kolgar]

Maybe King Kong is an exceptional transfer? Most movies on regular DVD won't look nearly as good? I'm just guessing.

[pulliags]

I hear there's a new $40 coupon that's good until the end of December. Anyone have a nice high rez pdf of the coupon?

[neo22]

King Kong IS a very good SD transfer. Way above average IMHO...

I don't understand why alot of you took a big sheet of paper with the coupon printed on it into the store. If I was a CC employee I would turn you away also. You should cut it and fold it alittle to make it look legit. That's what I did and got my HD-DVD player without a problem.

[Kolgar]

so compared to an upconverted dvd player are these even worth it?

Personally, I think so. Great price, and on my 1080p display (a 61" Samsung HLS-6187), it looks spectacular. I've watched Batman Begins on both regular DVD and last night, on the new HD-DVD drive, and the HD version really blows you away in long views of landscapes and skylines. It's just much sharper all around.

Plus, you've got to love the standardized interface that lets you look through settings and special features in cool overlays atop the movie that's playing. Nice touch.

When I looking for one, the closest store was about 25 miles away and they only had one but I called them and said if they can hold it for me until I got there. And they did for about an hour! Ask them to hold it for you.

ok, i will tell them to hold it for me. Hope they dont screw me over again :( the guy said they hadnt had any in 1 week, so how the hell when i called they said they had 2...??? lier's!

[WaldorfSalad]

I watched King Kong at the weekend on the XBox 360 HD-DVD hooked up to my Sony 50XBR1 and was suitably impressed! Great PQ, no glitches, nice AQ. But, as good as it was, I'm going to return it and buy a standalone HD DVD player (the HD-A2) because its just too much hassle trying to borrow my teenage son's XBox 360 and I don't want to buy another!

[UxiSXRD]

The primary allure of the 360 add-on was it's price.

I was seriously eyeballing the HD-XA1 before since it is a handsome unit and would complement both my 60XBR1 and my AVR/DVDplayer and 360 (with the silver face plate well), but it also had the allure of the 5.1 analog outputs which my receiver also has bare. The lack of these inputs on the A2 is almost as disapointing as it's black color, though, which is what finally tipped the scales for me. Until I get an HDMI equipped AVR, though, the 360 should be a decent match for the PS3 in the audio department, though.

I don't have any teenage sons to fight with the 360 over, though. :D

[Mustang1]

Thanks GMan. I used it twice today. Once for an XBOX 360, then later at another CC for a couple games, 2nd controller and wireless adapter.

I gotta print out a couple more in case one of the local CC gets a HD-DVD drive in (A big reason I ended up buying the XBOX over the WII).

I also picked up an XBOX HD add-on at CC for $159 using an internet coupon. What a deal. Nice way to get into HD dvds.

[Mustang1]

ahah yes it is, im amazed at how good it looks. :D

[The Tophinator]

WhooHoo!. I checked this morning and none of the local CC had the drive in yet. I checked again at 4:00 and most of the local ones in the LA area have them in stock.

I picked one up on the way home and used the coupon for the third time. I got home late so I only watched the first half of KK in 1080i /component and it looked awsome.

Now I'll go broke ordering HD-DVD's. :D I spent a lot of $$ in the last few days but saved $120 with the coupons.

[Mustang1]

hhaha thats awesome! yea, i bought mine at the same time you did, they still had not had them out of the box when i got there, they had them in the back storage facility.. :D YEY! there are still availible, i was the only one who had bought one at that time and there was like 19 left the guy told me. KING KONG IS AWESOME! even in 1080i component :D i have vga 1080p but vga colors looked washed out as hell...

Thanks! It worked, now I just hope circuit city will honor the coupon.

[jcpom]

I printed it and there is NO scan code. Will CC still accept?

[Rhegaana]

Checkout guy at local CC wouldn't take mine (front side only) when I attempted to buy a PSP. That's OK, I now have a legit one after submitting a change-of-address form to USPS. And I got the discount price though Gamestop, anyways. I can still go back for the add-on player....

[OldSamsungDrone]

Worked for me, and they didnt even bother to scan the coupon.

[Chupalt]

Didn't work for me...they said they couldn't accept a photocopy :(

[Bizill]

Worked (bar code scanned). Thanks!

I got mine off a thread from fatwallet. I'll try to find it again and post it here for the coupon ending in Jan.

I wrote in another thread, but I'll repeat it here. I purchased the XBox HD DVD add on drive the day after Christmas with some gift cards I had gotten and cash. Then I read that people were prining out this Circuit City coupon and bringing their receipts to Best Buy and getting $40 dollars back. So I took a chance, what do I have to lose right? I printed the .pdf of the coupon on glossy paper, went to Customer Service at Best Buy with my receipt and said: "You guys price match, right?"
She took the coupon and brought over another person, who told her "if it was over $199 then give it to him".
They match the price plus 10 percent, so I got back $47.80!!
Just wanted to let everyone know that you may get lucky with a copy of the coupon.

sweet..gone used it for a Wii when available

[sj41]

This one is a YMMV, since it says "reproductions not accepted" at the bottom. I just tried to use one and CC wouldn't take it. This is after I used their computer to show them the coupon link ON CC's website. Manager refused to even scan the coupon.

Well I don't think you are out of luck. Try another CC or just go up to another person and ask if they will scan it. I always seem to have good luck. I have not used this but I just try and pick people who either don't care or just are nice and are willing to cut you a deal.

I just a few days ago I used a printed off sheet at my CC for like 10% off a HD-DVD and worked no problem!

Yet at the bottom there is a "Having trouble printing? Click here to download the coupons in .pdf format".

If it is not accepted I would ask to speak to a manager or his boss and ask him to explain this. I don't understand the point of putting this coupon on the website only to deny it.

This is exactly what happened when I tried to use it (copy/pasted from my post from another forum)

"I believe it's the store in general in Gainesville, FL. Very small store, bunch of young punk kids as employees (manager included) that usually have no idea wtf they're talking about (especially about TV and A/V equipment).

It's funny because the rep I spoke to at the customer service desk called the manager asking about the coupon, he just said "no" to the rep and wouldn't even come out to speak to me directly. After bitching out the CS rep some more, the manager finally came out. He told me "no photocopies allowed" on the coupon, so I asked, "well if it's no photocopies allowed, how the hell am I supposed to print the coupon? I mean it IS on the CC's website. You want me to bring in my monitor and show you?" Then I showed him the link on CC's website. He then gave me some BS excuse about that coupon being meant for one person only and there are alot of fake coupons out there. Wouldn't even scan it to see if it worked either. So after arguing with him a good few minutes, he got tired of explaining to me and just told me, "no it doesn't matter, I'm not taking it". I just laughed and walked out.

It wasn't the first time I had a bad experience at that store either. Last time I went there to try to get a TV price matched, they wouldn't do it either. Said something about them losing money if they sold it for that low LOL. FYI this was the deal for the Sony 40XBR2 that was at BB for $1999 (pricing error for a few hours). Don't really see why people even bother with CC in the first place, the service, professionalism, and the prices just suck IMO.

If anyone out there lives around Gainesville, FL, don't waste your time with CC, save your money, time, and sanity and shop online or go to BB."

Here is a link to a new Circuit City coupon:
Circuit City $40 off $199 Purchase Coupon[/URL]
This one is good until the end of March.


I used this one last night at the Circuit City in the Parks Mall in Arlington, TX.

Printed in color, not that it mattered I think. It didn't scan but the teller just entered the number by hand.

As with many others, I was going to hold off until this next gen DVD war was over.
However, considering that if you take into account the $20 movie and $29 remote control that was included, and the $40 coupon, I just paid a mere $110 for an HD-DVD player. That's less than many decent SD DVD players.

That plus the news that future players are likely to play both formats, I won't feel I've wasted anything even if BR wins.

FWIW, King Kong looks pretty good at 1080i via Component, even if the movie itself kind of dissapoints. [I hadn't seen it yet]

Great buy! Thanks for the coupon links!

same thing with me didn't scan but number worked when manually entered. No problem and the clerk seemed to be aware of the coupon (seen it before)

worked for me, cashier don't even check what it says on the fine prints. He said everything under $199 :) you get $40 off, good deal.

Thanks for the link.

it says it cant be used on gaming hardware. will it stll work?

[micah3sixty]

I printed this coupon just last night and used it at the CC in Orem, UT and no questions asked simple transaction. Use the PDF link above as it still works. They may be cancelling this coupon early so don't wait.

[ack_bk]

I printed the coupon this morning and tried to use it at the Sugarhouse CC in SLC, Utah. No luck. They even had a sign that stated that they were not accepting these coupons from allconnect anymore.

Oh well. I am going to keep waiting to see if prices drop, or I can find another discount somewhere else..

[ack_bk]

Just bought the 360 add-on at newegg for $189 (brand new) with free 2 day shipping. Since I did not have to pay sales tax, I saved almost $20 vs buying it locally. I also picked up a copy of Serenity for under $20 and free shipping (+ no sales tax). Their HD-DVD movie prices seem competitive with Amazon.

U have until the Jan 31st. Get it while you can!

Someone go get it, now! :D

[docrings]

I printed out a color copy of the cccoupon and the Best Buy manager approved it... he seemed to get personal satisfaction out of getting a sale away from Circuit City. (As well he should!) That's a smart business man!

Smoothest price match / coupon transaction I ever had, after the cashier got a manager to help out.

It helped I printed it out in color, and had the "coupon" in an envelope, not just pulled out wadded from my pocket. It's all about the "coupon cred" ! ;)

Give BB a try!

[jmb295]

picked one up using the coupon from cc last night, worked without any questions!
