+ $5 off from a coupon I had = $34.88.
DAMN YOU BLU-RAY! I DON'T EVEN HAVE A PLAYER YET AND YOU KEEP THROWING ME "HAPPY ACCIDENT" DEALS! :mad::p
That's cool! I'm a happy owner of both of those discs as well. Deja Vu in particular looks great!
When do you plan on getting a BD player? ;)
Shug7272 08-18-07, 05:59 PM Fricking awesome man.. go back and get some for the rest of us.

I'll probably wait to see how this Profile 1.1 thing pans out. Though I wouldn't mind the PS3, but I don't have a HDMI-equipped receiver yet and I know I'd hate not hearing PCM in its surround glory. The Denon is my dream machine. :p

Sadly the other two "used but new" BDs they had, Eragon and The Holiday, were $27 each. Didn't seem like that much of a deal and I didn't really care for the films. The rest "used" were definitely used trade-ins.
JaylisJayP 08-18-07, 06:58 PM they both look awesome...i got deja vu for the same price.
Sirius389 08-18-07, 10:05 PM i love going to fye, i have 3 in my area a coconuts, and a suncoast which are all owned by the same parent company and they have a mebership card that you get 10% off anything you buy, im trading in some dvds tomorrow to get some more blu-rays, on average i get at least $30-$60 when i trade after bonus credit :)

tyorder1 08-18-07, 10:09 PM Wow that sux. I live in the Chicagoland area and have gone to 3 or 4 FYE and they are always running that special, and I've always gotten it. Never even had to ask about it. They seem to push it! You should complain!!!!

DigitalfreakNYC 08-18-07, 10:13 PM Can SOMEONE please tell me where to get the $5 off coupon?
Maybe I'm missing something, but why do you guys pay so much for used stuff when you can get almost identical pricing for new stuff?
Sirius389 08-19-07, 09:47 AM Maybe I'm missing something, but why do you guys pay so much for used stuff when you can get almost identical pricing for new stuff?
so you'd rather pay $30 for a new copy of xXx when you can get a used one for $15? the movies are not scratched if they are used, or why pay $30 for House of Flying Daggers when you can get a used copy for $11.99? im not trying to be mean or something but if you know where to find new copies for used prices do tell :)

Well, in this case, both of the BDs pictured above were mysteriously labeled as used but are actually brand new factory sealed. I certainly would have opted for ordering these online new if these two weren't actually new.
ricwhite 08-19-07, 03:45 PM Used might be a good way to go. I bet a lot of the "used" discs are those purchased by uninformed customers who thought their upscaling DVD player would play them. I bet most are in "like new" condition.
bart122580 08-19-07, 04:14 PM Are those part of the free movie deal? I'm guessing some people got their free movies and just traded them in.
I'm surprised ANY good deal can be had at FYE, kings of MSRP.

I think I pre-ordered a 360 game a long time back and got it as one of the perks to doing so. Though I can't quite remember exactly how I got it now. The only reason I went there was because I found the coupon last week and surprisingly there was no expiration date on it.

And you're right, Urza. I get sticker shock at all the $35 and $40 prices on both BDs and HD DVDs there. Though I gotta say I've found early HD DVDs (like two weeks before street sometimes) there before and sometimes new HDM releases are on sale in their computer, but not marked so on the case, usually $5-7 off.

unless its used there rarely is a good deal there, lol. though they drop the price of new release movies for a few days, i bought are we done yet for 26.99 and tmnt for 26.99 on release date, disturbia was also 26.99, but i didnt have the cash to put out, and i went back and they raised it to 32.99
