can someone please convince me that I need The Fifth Element and Click

how many of you were successful in getting BB to sub a disc on the above list with another that wasn't on it?

I got in on the last one and am pleased with the 2 I chose.

BHD & U:E

No way am I getting TFE or HoFD considering that they are thought to be Tier 4 on the Master List.

into the blue and...? maybe house just to trade in. hopefully there's a deal with tax software like last time that we now would know how to use. last time it was free $20 dvd with tax software, so youd buy the software, $20 bluray and still get one for free

how many of you were successful in getting BB to sub a disc on the above list with another that wasn't on it?

I asked the computer nicely and it just beeped at me.

wait....is it buy one of the above and get ANY BD free?
or is it buy one of the above get one of the above free.

Great......I'm in for another 2.

wait....is it buy one of the above and get ANY BD free?
or is it buy one of the above get one of the above free.

Buy one from the list and get another from the list of equal or lesser value free.

I picked up 4 last time but I'm going to have to skip this round. Hopefully we see more sales like this.

Is that the entire list?

Aww c'mon, Last time I said whatever and picked up House of Flying Daggers. But now all I dont have from that list is Click and Fifth Element, one movie which sucks, and another which has a horrible transfer. Even the cheap price can't make me get those.

Why do you mess with us BestBuy, Why?? :(

Nice to know this, but i'll past on these.

horrible list....

Only these titles guys. Wonder if this is good or bad news for BR....

And I will be using the PS3 $10 rebate on Underworld!

I love these deals. Here's the loop hole folks.......

Gift receipts.

Get one and after the sale ends bring back the movie(s) and swap them out for something you really want.

Works everytime, and not just with games, and movies.

Cheers.

Hmmm,

Clever,

I don't know if it will REALLY happen but Sony said it's re-do-ing The Fifth Element and you will be able to trade in the release that's out now.

I have underworld from the last sell. Still sealed and still have the receipt. So, if I go in today and say hey I want to exchange this. That can't deny me? Thanks

I could be wrong, but I think you have to ask for the gift reciept when you buy the movie, then you say that someone gave you the movie as a gift, but you only have the gift reciept.

I am not sure if it would work with the original reciept that shows buy one get one free on it.

I guess that wasn't much help...sorry

I say try to take it back, and let us know how it goes.

Yeah, you should have to ask for a gift receipt when you actually make the purchase...unless you can find a BB employee who doesnt pay that much attention to the details :)

I am wondering this...let's say that you go in and buy 1, get 1 free and ask for a gift receipt...Won't the gift receipt only be valid for the price of ONE movie, not both? I am thinking that you might have to at least keep one of the titles on the list.

For those that have avoided House of Flying Daggers due to bad reviews, I would ask that you reconsider. I too was hesitant to pick it up due to all the bad press and already having a very nice 2-disc Edko R3 version of the film. I am a huge fan of genre and Asian cinema, so I said, what the heck, it's only $12.50 after the deal.

I was pleasently surprised with the disc. It is soft at times, but I am now thinking that it may have something to do with camera focus in addition to transfer issues. Certain close-up shots are super sharp and what you would expect with proper 1080P transfer. The audio was solid with perhaps best use of surrounds among all transfers (Drum dance sequence has been my demo for surround system since I got the original SD DVD), and even the plain DD sound very good in comparison to DTS ES on SD DVD (I can't play uncompressed PCM surround with my PS3 setup).

With the current promotion, it's a no brainer IMHO, especially if there is another disc in the list that you are considering.

Click and Monster House for me! To be exchanged for good titles aftewards!

Canada always misses out on these deals.

Guess I'll be getting Into The Blue :)

I ordered six of these online during the last sale. I was at BB within 20 minutes of completing the online order. When I arrived at the store, the online order was not in their system yet. So, they looked at my receipt & fulfilled the order. They forgot to tell the system I picked up my disc's........ :)

Few days later I received an e-mail my order was cancelled. I received all six for free.

I nabbed four last time...

Will probably grab the same this time... but with Gift Receipts !

Think you can return more than one ?

Even if you have gift receipt, don't you think that their system will still show up with the original amount for each on the receipt? I always thought all sales are tracked by the sales/gift receipt.

I might have to reconsider purchasing HOFD. I also have the 2 disc R3 Edko version, and have heard great things about the uncompressed PCM sound on the BR version; the full bandwidth DTS sound was awesome on the Edko version. Only if I could find another movie on that list that I would be willing to pick up...

Just do it. Blu-ray is noticibly sharper with better color fidelity compared to R3 SD DVD.

is this at the bestbuy store?

crap! the only two i dont own are into the blue and 5th element, but im definitely waiting for the re-release of fifth element.

didnt sony say they were gonna offer a trade in on fifth element? maybe i buy it now and trade it in when the rerelease comes out?

is this at the bestbuy store?


Yes, in store and on-line (both). The OP is quoting the ad copy from this Sunday's Newspaper circular.

Only these titles guys. Wonder if this is good or bad news for BR....

Underworld: Evolution is one of the top selling BDs so there's no way it's inclusion is bad news. :)

I wish they'd offer this deal with a much larger selection though. The only one I wnat from that list that I don't already have is Monster House... same as last time. ;)

waitin' on the TFE re-release as well....

Since everyone has it, I would assume it would be. Who wants a movie that the majority of BR owners own?

And the gift receipt thing only works sometimes. It essentially will give you credit for HALF the price, not full amount.

Why can't they offer this promo on all of the Br titles on hand? Those BBBs!!! :D

On returning things to Best Buy:

I asked for the HD-DVD Mission Impossible Ultimate Missions set for Christmas. The person that wanted to get it for me couldn't find it, so they got me the SD-DVD version. When I got home, I went to my Best Buy and returned it without the receipt. I got store credit in the amount that they sold the discs for. The only thing they had to do was make sure that store stocked the discs and it was no problem.

So, if you have multiple Best Buys, maybe purchase at one and try returning the disc to another for store credit.

Well I still haven't bought my BD player but I think into the blue and TFE will be my purchases this time around.
Last time it was BHD, MH, UE, and Click

Why can't they offer this promo on all of the Br titles on hand? Those BBBs!!! :D

still lovin' it, joerod!

:)

not to bad of a deal, you figure-
2 BR movies @ 29.99=60.00

with this and a rebate-
2 BR movies @29.00-10.00 rebate=19.99 for two BR discs- :)

now only if it was ALL titles :(

This really only works if you haven't returned mutiple items in the past without receipts. I got a few present for xmas without gift or original receipts and it really all depends on the person that you get at the register. I think the maximum is three item returns a year without receipts...some employees are incredibly stiff and won't budge on the issue, but you get the ones that hate being there, preferbly a guy with a punk attitude and he won't care about anything.

Just speaking from experience, it won't matter if you buy from one, and return to another...their systems are all conncected.

Yes, I agree it will only work to an extent. I guess in that case you could probably try Walmart. Surely they would take it back without a receipt.

Not necessarily. My son got a copy of a full screen movie for his birthday. Don't worry, I've forbidden him from playing with that friend again. Sadly, I'm sure the parents had a hand in this. ;) Anyway, I took the movie back to Walmart to exchange it for the WS version. Told them I thought it was purchased at their store, but Walmart's UPC was different than the original store on this title. I eventually found it was a movie from Target. So the lesson learned is some titles may have UPC's that are exclusive to that chain.

Quick question. I only want 2 of these movies, but one is $29.99 and the other is $24.99. If I purchase one for $29.99 could I get the $24.99 one for free or does it have to be of equal value in order for the deal to take effect?

That sucks, I thought they would have more to pick from. The only movie I want from that list is Into the Blue. I don't know about the other ones...I already got Underworld.

After Christmas they have an 'open door' return policy. That is no longer in effect. No receipt = no return. Sure, there will be YMMV scenarios, but I wouldn't count too much on that especially which BR/HD which are small and easy to steal.

Say if i buy monster house and get into the blue for free. Can i return monster house for half the price?

As the other members have posted, it's a YMMV situation...if you want a definitive answer try it

Hopefully, they'll give a better selection next time around.

are you guys sure that Aeon Flux is not on the list?

It won't be anything more than what the OP provided.

thats a kick in pants

All the movies in the promotion are from Sony Pictures. It was the same way last time as well I believe.

buy one get free, and on paid get $10 rebate that comes with ps3 :D

are you sure they'll let me return it without the receipt?

are you sure they'll let me return it without the receipt?

If you are referring to Walmart, then yes, as long as the UPC's are the same you shouldn't have any problem. Apparently, as someone posted earlier in the thread, some stores may get exclusive UPC's. I would say write the UPC # down on a piece of paper and leave the disc in the car. Walk into Walmart, check the UPC and if it matches, go get your disc and return it.

This is funny because I thought the first buy 1 get 1 free offer was still valid. I went into bestbuy last night grabbed BHD and U:E and went to the register. She rang them up at $54 and I said those are buy 1 get one free, she said really? I said I saw it on thier website and she gave me them both for $29. Now I'm thinking I should have got Saw III and Transporter 2 :p .

Jessica Alba in HD :D

oooo looks like we got an internet tough guy here. Hey man how bout you go and be an ******* somewhere else.

I know David Bott (one of the owners) loved it. In fact, he's linked it in a couple of threads...using it to get his point across.

I agree with you it should be something that everyone has to view. It's very funny, but yet really conveys proper forum etiquette, which is sorely lacking at times. The mods can only do so much, we have an obligation as members too.

Thanks OP for the information. I ordered online for store pickup. Underworld and House Of Flying Daggers. I can use one $10 rebate I got for Underworld with PS3. So, my cost for each comes to little over $10 for each Blu-Ray!

I also just ordered for a store pickup for Click and Underworld. I had a $10 digital coupon from the PS3 pre-order glitch they had. so that made my total $20.. then i have the additional $10 coupon that came with the PS3 making at about $5 for each blu-ray!

I might get underworld this time around, but I don't know what movie to pair it with :-(

Chap,

I recommend Monster House,... I liked it anyway and it's also a high quality transfer if you're looking for that as well. I think it's a fun movie,.. So,.. consider that one.

Good idea. I guess I'll go with that.

Is the Fifth Element transfer THAT bad? I really love the movie and if Sony is planning a re-release, no point in getting this one now. Any owners of this movie care to comment?

unfortunately all sony titles so only use one ps3 coupon

I pretty sure there was a thread dedicated to that exact question. A search should turn it up. Plus, consider Sony has annouced they will be cleaning up and releasing this title down the road....again, there is a post on that topic too that would turn up in a search.

I just purchased this Blu Ray title and compared with the superbit edition it its better than the DVD. There is a bit more detail and colors are a tad better in many scenes. The display at the store looked worse than in my setup from what I remember probably due to the Samsung making things worse. I say for the current sale price which is half off its worth the extra few dollars you would need to fork out if you sold your DVD. Nowhere near as good as top titles like Riddick or Underworld but better than DVD.

I picked TFE today and I don't see why everyone is saying it's so bad. Maybe it was because this was reviewed using the Samsung with the original firmware. I don't know. I have the Superbit, using an up converting player, and I can definitely tell the difference. Colors seem to really pop more and I see better detail with the Blu Ray. It's almost a no lose situation to pick it up with this deal, because apparently Sony is re-releasing the Blu Ray with a better transfer this year and if you have the original Blu Ray, Sony will swap out the old one for the new one.

Don't forget about the PCM track on TFE.

I stopped by Best Buy and picked up:

Click (Kate Beckinsale, huh-hotness!) & Monster House (great transfer and fun movie)
Into the Blue (Jessica Alba :)) & The 5th Element (I might sell on Ebay)

I picked up a BB gift card at the counter which gives you 6000 rewards points when buying 2 dvds of $14.99 value. So all in all, not a bad deal.

6000 reward points is $120.

Yeah right.

wow!! so it is $10 gift card! I'll love to pick one today. How should I do? and where to locate, I have to go 4 my instore pick up.

When does the deal end???

Like all sales circulars close of retail on Saturday

Picked up Into The Blue and The Fifth Element today.

Just picked up Into the Blue and House of Flying Daggers.

Also got the Underworld Evolution and Black Hawk Down two weeks ago :)

Was anybody able to pull something like this off? Did you use a gift receipt to pull it off? Was anybody able to do it without a receipt?

I doubt i can exchange them at Walmart since these movies have one sticker, and one sticker only on them, and that one sticker says "Best Buy" on it.

I was able to exchange four Blu-rays(2 on each visit) at Wal-mart couple of weeks back when Bestbuy had this BOGO sale. But on the second time the person at the Customer Service had to get Manager's approval. He said that if I exchange without receipt more than once in certain period of time, the system will automatically blacklist me/

This is not a bad movie. Good PQ.

Did your movies from best buy have "best buy" stickers on them. Did you return the movies with any sort of sticker on them?

"Underworld: Evolution" PQ is excellent. I will rated one of the top in Blu-Ray. And I have "Crank", "Open Season", "Corpse Bride", etc...

However, "Into the Blue" is not all that great. I really didn't like the overly saturated color. Especially the skin tone. If you like Jessica Alba, then it worth a look.

Highly Recommend: KUNG FU HUSTLE, very details and vivid colors. One of my favourite blu-ray disc. And the movie is simply awesome. The more I watch, the more I like it. :) Hopefully, someone can release "SHAOLIN SOCCER" in the same quality. I shall keep on dreaming. :(

Tony

Not a good line up. BB should do this 1 for 1 on all titltes..that would be meaan.

Perhaps this is one reason why Blu-ray has been able to outsell HD-DVD lately. These 2 for 1 sales at Best Buy are artificially proping up Blu-ray sales figures... :D

Just bought "In too Blue" and "The Fifth Element".... I already know that I'm not gonna watch either movie more than once...but this deal is just too good to pass :)

Not a good line up. BB should do this 1 for 1 on all titltes..that would be meaan.
This is a Sony promo from what I heard, not a BB one. Note all movies in the deal are from Sony Pictures.

The ad does not state the free blu-ray disc needs to be from one of the six Sony pictures listed. I purchased Click along with Goodfellas (Warner). I noted this to the cashier, thus she made the price adjustment on Goodfellas (as the free disc). I asked for a gift receipt as well. The following day, returned Click for Saw II.

I plan on going back for more tomorrow.

I am aware that some BB do not know how the deal works, I have heard multiple stories one one buying a movie from that list and then buying any other one they wanted. However that isnt how it is supposed to be so it does still remain a sony promo.

Into The Blue and Fifth Element at "half price"....I'm in.

Interesting, I'm gonna go try it today....see if it works or not :)

Yes it had BestBuy sticker on them but I carefully removed them (making sure not to damage the seal) and I did not had any problems returning them :)I saw some BDs at Circuit City with "Best Buy" price stickers on them. The CC salesperson I spoke to about it said they weren't FROM Best Buy - they were just really really good buys. Made me wonder if all BD price stickers say "Best Buy" on them.

I negotiate for a living and was a championship debater in high school. There was no way in Hell I was leaving Best Buy without "Into the Blue" at the sticker price and "Blackhawk Down" for free last Saturday. My checker called the store manager over when I explained that the wording of their ad in the circular was not written to be exclusive to the 6 movies advertised (in other words, I shouldn't be punished for their ambiguity). Therefore, they needed to honor their own ad and allow me to have "Blackhawk Down" for free. I don't know if I was convincing or if the manager just didn't feel like arguing over $25, but I paid $25 total for Jessica Alba in a bikini :eek: and a documentary illustrating why Clinton was one of the worst presidents/human beings in the history of this country. :D

Maybe you should read the book "Black Hawk Down" before making idiotic claims like that ;)

If thats the case then I don't know if I'll even classify Bush in human category. He is not even half the man Clinton was :)

Back to the topic.......I went to Bestbuy and tried to get three different movies. Three for the circular and three others but the chashier hesitated to do it...and called a manager...after arguing with him for couple of minutes, I just left without getting anything :(

So you left because they wouldn't bend the rules to honor a deal that was clearly not stated nor intended by the ad? Wow, shame on BB for only doing what's advertised.

There is NO MENTION on the ad that the free movie has to be out of the six that are mentioned in the ad. All it says is that "free movie should be equal or lesser value". So as a customer I have EVERY RIGHT to challenge that.

BTW. It's ad, not add. One "d" If you spent as much time and effort into your job, as you do trying to figure out ways to scam the retailers...you'd probably be President of the company by now. Give it a rest and focus on making money, instead of scaming money.

BB sucks IMO!

This is the second time that my local BB did not have all the movies in stock on the first day of the sale. The first time they had zero of them. This time they had 3 of them but not the 2 I really wanted. I know I can get them online but that doesn't come with the instant gratification of buying in-store getting home and popping a movie in the player.

They also had a lot more HD DVD titles in stock than Blu-rays judging by the numbers of discs with their spines facing out. And the Blu-ray discs they had were more expensive than just about everywhere else.

I 2nd that, WTF. Did he get shitted on by his boss or something.Please get your language under control. Thanks.

Clint definitely at least twice the man since during his term the stock market inflated to umpalumpa levels and all manufacturing left to China along with some some nice space launch vehicles.

Back to the topic....I went to Best Buy and I picked out a couple of movies clearly pictured on the ad one being The Fifth Element which is clearly better than the superbit but not quite up to par with current titles like Crank.

You can always check with them before you go and reserve your BDs. Or you can order online for store pickup.


fuad

Online pickup works pretty well with sales like these and new release titles that they don't get on the shelves right away.

For those who are getting one BR and buying another outside what the ad shows is soo wrong. BB cashiers are retarded. It cleary says on the ad and on fine print. "Buy 1 of these BluRay discs and get 1 free" "Second item must be of equal or lesser value"

But...like ajamils said, nowhere does that technically state the you must get the "free" BluRay disc from the listed 6 titles. It implies that you can get one free BluRay disc for free, they should have worded it differently.

AVS Forum does not take to kindly on posts about how to cheat stores by returning movies and using gift receipts for example. Please be so kind not to make sure posts on this site in the future. Not only does it make this site less attractive, but you as well for pulling what comes off as a scam IMHO.

Thank you.

How is Underworld:Evolution? Anyone?

ok, more seriously, kate beckinsale.
ok, but yeah, i didn't think it was too bad (certainly better than tomb raider imo), but it does seems to strike peope differently, some of my friends really liked it, some thought it sucked.

only had time to watch a couple minutes on blu-ray so far, looks like PQ should be good enough, if maybe not quite a King Kong or Scorpion King.

you only mentioned Kate Beckinsale twice, she deserves at least 10.

Would be a nice deal. Most of these movies suck.

You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, no matter how lovely the ear is.

I think some of those on this thread that are so quick to judge others are missing the point. Unless you work for Sony or Best Buy, how do you truly know what the intent of the ad is? Do you know 100% for a fact that the deal was intended to only include a free choice from one of the other 2 movies listed at that price? If so, why not make the rules clear? The wording is extremely ambiguous. They very easily could have made it more clear if their intent was indeed to limit it to the movies shown.

As far as the people who are truly scamming with the gift receipts and what not, well that's like returning fruit that you didn't eat 2 weeks later to Costco. Will they take it back? You bet (I've seen people do it). Does it make it right? I personally don't think so and wouldn't do it.

In summary, those of us that chose one of the movies pictured and also picked up a free movie at equal or lesser value that was not pictured have clearly stayed within the exact guidelines setout by the ad itsef as it is worded. People make an excellent living making a case for how to interpret unclearly worded material. They're called attorneys (and no, I am not one). :)

"Buy 1 of these Blu-ray Discs and get 1 free." The implication is "Buy 1 of these Blu-ray Discs and get 1 of these Blu-ray Discs free."

The wording on the order page on bestbuy.com is very clear:

Buy 1, get 1 free!

Choose two Blu-ray Discs from a select list and get the lower-priced one for free.

You've proven my point exactly. If it was so easy to make the wording that precise on-line, then why not do the same in the circular if the intent was the same for both? Are you 100% sure that the intent was the same for both (the on-line deal and the in-store deal)? How can you be 100% sure?

What purpose does it serve to continue the discussion? Do what you want to do and move on. You aren't auditioning for the debate team.

You haven't seen all of the posts that have been deleted on this thread (many rightfully so by the moderator) where those of us that enjoyed this offer had our integrity called into question.

So to answer your question as to why I'm still posting a defense:

1) Because I'm right and no post yet has been able to prove otherwise.
2) To defend my honor, the honor of the others that enjoyed the offer and to counter unfounded allegations made by many.

My replies this evening have been germane, concise, factual and polite. Are you being forced to read them? I thought not... :)

good job. All the people that are talking bad about you or others (including me) for taking advantage of this deal are only complaining because they didn't get a chance to make the best of it, otherwise they wouldn't be complaining

I have absolutely no qualms with anyone trying to get a different disc and am not questioning anyone's integrity, but even you NoUserName22 know the true intent of the sale.

1) If you put them in your cart online, it will only work with two titles from the selected list.
2) To believe that they are running a buy one from this list get one from this list free on bestbuy online and a buy one from THE SAME LIST and get any one free in-store is nothing short of naive. You, I, and everyone out there know 100% this is not the intent, but that doesn't even matter because up next we have...
3) The IN-STORE computer does not put the discout in unless both movies are from the list.
4) This is a Sony Pictures promotion, not a Best Buy promotion. Sony is eating the cost on this, not Best Buy. All of the movies in the offer are from Sony Pictures. They are not going to pay for you to get other studio's movies for free.

You can get down and dirty into all the technicalities and workarounds you want but we all know what the true intention of the offer is and you're only lying to yourself to make yourself feel better.

"Technically" a speed limit sign doesn't say "miles per hour" on it, but you know that if you go 100 in a 45 you can't honestly say to yourself "oh I thought it was 45 parsecs per hour so I don't really feel bad about it".

ONE OF THE OWNERS of the site deleted your posts. If you have a problem with that, maybe you should complain to him

Interesting information. I knew nothing about the on-line offer until it was mentioned here and still have yet to even look at it. Why? Because I've found that the BB on-line pricing can often be higher than the in-store pricing, so I never go there.

I still counter that anyone can accurately infer with 100% certainty the intent of the circular ad. Even if the intent is different, we've done nothing wrong simply because we've benefitted from their poor word choice. Have you ever heard the phrase "The customer is always right?" In this case, because of their wording, we are. :)

Now, that information about Sony potentially having to eat any cost differential gives me HAPPY PANTS! :D I'll have to get A LOT of free discs to make up for the fact that I was an early adopter of their SXRD technology. ;)

Time to say goodnight,
