View Full Version : Evey BR title at Circuit City is BOGO!!!
Just got back from Circuit City and EVERY TITLE is ringing up BOGO. Grabbed Robo Cop for $15 UNREAL.
I think as long as you grab one off the list then it rings the others one's up at 1/2 off..
Must be a glitch in their system now. Oh well.. Happy day for me.
I had the lady scan every BR she had in stock and thats the way they come up
I picked up 6 movies for only $87.00 plus tax.
Going back for more later.

GizmoDVD 10-15-07, 01:26 PM What....Anyone confirm?
What....Anyone confirm?
Honest I do not lie..
I would scan my reciept if I could. Must be a screw up in their system. Go now and find out.
No-one in the store even knew about the sale.
Worked for me.
Chris
GizmoDVD 10-15-07, 01:34 PM Hmm...Ive heard from other people to. Wonder if its fixed yet?
Anyone try this today?

I did just 10 minutes ago.

GizmoDVD 10-15-07, 01:44 PM CC online shows most titles as "Available for Shipping Only". Any luck finding the new Fox releases there?
I called a local store and the sales rep was clueless. I will have to visit that store around lunch time, in Carlsbad CA. Will let you all know ;-)
which one's?? I am hoping it still works tomorrow for movies coming out tomorrow.
LMK which titles and I can look

Yeap same here employee's and managers both said NO until they rang them up and it worked.
Sad promotion.
Chris
ajamils 10-15-07, 02:05 PM Awesome news...will pick more blu-rays tomorrow (when I go to pick up Transformers HD) :)
Man, I hope this promotion last's until the end of the evening so that I can swing by after work.
robertc88 10-15-07, 02:11 PM I'd fully expect if it is a glitch that it will not remain in effect very long unless the employees just let it go without questioning it with corporate.
I'd say get there ASAP if you want some!!
MySassyGirl 10-15-07, 02:27 PM wow..online too?
wow..online too?
I dont know about on-line. I went right to the store.
Chris
Larson275 10-15-07, 03:03 PM CONFIRMED.
I just picked up dinosaur, ice age 2, happy feet, open season, pursuit of happyness and surf's up.
I did stager the BOGO titles with the ones not on the list and walked out with 6 for 90+tax.
3 Columbia titles, 1 WB, 1 Fox and 1 Disney. Selection was kinda poor but there are several other CC's in the area i wil be visiting this evening.
the_yoyo 10-15-07, 03:04 PM crap looks like i am gonna be taking an extended lunch break to raid the local CC here. thanks for the heads up guys :)
IXinchnail 10-15-07, 03:05 PM I had the lady scan every BR she had in stock and thats the way they come up
That's not very nice.
Larson275 10-15-07, 03:05 PM Forgot to mention this was in northern Illinois. Good luck.
cws_kahuna 10-15-07, 03:06 PM Guess I need to stop by CC today.
That's not very nice.
I know her and they were dead. I spend alot of money in there every tuesday so its the least they can do for me.
Chris
JaylisJayP 10-15-07, 03:23 PM grif...if you're going back...would you at all be able to pick up Robocop and/or The Fly for me at the $15 price?
shadowrage 10-15-07, 03:29 PM Does anyone know if you can mix and match BD with HD DVD.
That would be awesome if I could Transformers plus another Fox title tomorrow.
GizmoDVD 10-15-07, 03:32 PM Anyone seen The Fly at CC?
cgott42 10-15-07, 03:35 PM It seems to be only those price < $30 (not as many good title) but worth checking
Iceman184 10-15-07, 03:37 PM must... not... go.. to.. CC..
cambrian 10-15-07, 03:40 PM old news. I reported this yesterday at the other CC thread. To reiterate:
ALL titles under 29.99 are subjected to BOGO. This also works for HD-DVD titles as mentioned here:
http://forums.highdefdigest.com/showthread.php?t=21401
and here
http://forums.highdefdigest.com/showthread.php?t=21318
NOTE: This is probably a glitch in the system as some have reported Transformers showing up as half off already. Technically, if CC stocks Transformers by tomorrow and hasn't fixed this glitch, you can get it for half off.
faux123 10-15-07, 03:43 PM CONFIRMED! ALL BLU titles are BOGO. I just picked up 10 blu titles over lunch time at CC.
Clever_User_Name 10-15-07, 03:45 PM Does anyone know if you can mix and match BD with HD DVD.
That would be awesome if I could Transformers plus another Fox title tomorrow.
Yes, mix-and-match does work. Just did it.
As for whether or not Transformers qualifies, we'll have to see. Getting that puppy for just $15 would ensure a prompt sell-out at every CC across the nation in no time flat!!
Well, just tried CC in Sterling, VA.
Underworld: Evolution + Phantom of the Opera ($24 + $29).
Had the cashier ring them up and hit total. Came to full price + tax, no discount with those titles. So possibly you'll need at least one of the BOGO titles in the mix? I was in a hurry so no time to mix and match/experiment. Got about 10 other titles through Amazon and Fry's earlier so I'm happy regardless. :)
jkcheng122 10-15-07, 04:00 PM this would be a good excuse to pick up Day After Tomorrow and Fantastic Four Silver Surfer. i'll need to stop by local CC after work.
robertc88 10-15-07, 04:01 PM What is confirmed? Look's like it is different depending on the store!

I think we've now established that not all stores have this, but there is no need to buy at least one "qualified" disc for the offer to work. Sorry to hear that your area stores are not doing it! :(
cawgijoe 10-15-07, 04:11 PM Well, just tried CC in Sterling, VA.

I called the Fairfax, VA store and they told me there was no such sale. So maybe the Virginia stores are not doing it.
sixfootse7en 10-15-07, 04:15 PM Well, just tried CC in Sterling, VA.
Underworld: Evolution + Phantom of the Opera ($24 + $29).
I think the problem was the one from the list (Underworld) was less expensive than the one not on the list (Phantom). I'm thinking the free one must be of equal or lesser value.
Clever_User_Name 10-15-07, 04:19 PM I think the problem was the one from the list (Underworld) was less expensive than the one not on the list (Phantom). I'm thinking the free one must be of equal or lesser value.
This is not true. I did it with items of different value.
jasonaltima 10-15-07, 04:20 PM fredericksburg va is just picked up
fantastic four silver surfer 15.00

layer cake 15.00
I called the Fairfax, VA store and they told me there was no such sale. So maybe the Virginia stores are not doing it.
DO NOT CALL go in they have NO idea of the sale until they ring them up.
No-one at my CC including the managers had a clue about it.

Ok...will try.
I think the problem was the one from the list (Underworld) was less expensive than the one not on the list (Phantom). I'm thinking the free one must be of equal or lesser value.
Hmm, was Underworld: Evolution on any BOGO lists? I didn't think it was. I ordered Underworld from Frys, but U:Evolution was not on sale there or at Amazon (or at CC).
Interesting notes:
1) I could not find the offer in the ad.
2) It worked at two local stores
3) Discs over $30 do not work
My pairings that worked fine:
$29.99:
Dinosaur + FF Silver Surfer
28 Days Later + 28 Weeks Later
Deja Vu + The Departed
$24.99
GI Jane + Mission Impossible
Bullitt + Superman 2
Now I need to find a store that stocks Surf's Up, Robocop, The Fly and Edward Scissorhands! I asked at the second store and they did not even list them in their possible stock :(
Anyone knows of a South SF Bay Area store with any of these please let me know - the stores near me don't carry a lot of stock it seems...
GizmoDVD 10-15-07, 04:29 PM My CC had nothing. No new BR/no new HD besides Knocked up. Pass. Was hoping to grab Robocop, The Fly, 28 Weeks Later. Oh well.

U:Evolution was on the CC list.
FenixP3D 10-15-07, 04:30 PM how about 300???
VXXJesterXXV 10-15-07, 04:33 PM I may try this tomorrow when I pick up transformers. At the very least I will grab a BOGO Blu Ray and Transformers and see if it rings up with a discount. If not, the BRD goes back on the shelf.
U:Evolution was on the CC list.
Wow thanks, I missed that. I'll definitely try again tomorrow then with another combo. Phantom must have messed up the deal then somehow.
As mentioned earlier, I called the local CC and they did not confirm this (I expected it, as they are useless!).
I took a trip at lunch time and picked up:
1- The Devils Reject: $12.50 (MSRP $29.99)
2- Day After Tomorrow: $15 (MSRP $29.99)
3- Enemy of the State: $15 (MSRP $29.99)
4- Fantastic Four RoSS: $15 (MSRP $29.99)
I tried Kingdom of Heaven and Hoosiers ($34.99) and they did not work. The checkout guy told me that the promo does not appear to apply to movies over $30.
Then I went back, to pick up Surf's Up ($29.99), Bullitt ($24.99) at a different register, and it did not do it!!!
I told the cashier that I had been there 10 minutes ago and I even had the receipt on me. I went and grabbed two of the titles which I had bought earlier, and again it didn't do it !!!.
Since I am looking for the Fly, I may visit another not too far from my house, later on tonight, to check it out. But I succeeded the first time and failed the second time, after 15 minutes at the same CC!!!.
Third CC store TOLD ME about the deal being for all titles.
This time got:
Surf's Up (yay!) and Shooter
The Fountain and Broken Arrow.
For this store, the titles did not discount automatically but she dropped $15 off each title so it was $60 for all of them.
It is interesting how it varies. I just wish I could find some of the Fox titles from last week... I guess Anchor Bay is too much to ask for :D
Generally I would say that the CC's around here have a very poor selection...
Hmm, was Underworld: Evolution on any BOGO lists?
It is at the Fry's stores, part of the Sony BOGO list.
dalamchops 10-15-07, 05:50 PM It is at the Fry's stores, part of the Sony BOGO list.
U:E IS part of the CC list.
cambrian 10-15-07, 05:55 PM any of you guys noticed if Elizabeth was on the shelf at the CC stores you checked?
Confirmed in so. cal!
Crank $29.99 to $15.00
Fantastic 4 Rise of the Silver Surfer $29.99 to $15.00
Going back for more after work!
xbdestroya 10-15-07, 05:59 PM Chris/grif32, first of all, endless thanks for the creation of this thread.
Let me break down my experience with the deal today:
First went to a CC and got two Disney, two non-Disney titles. What happened at check-out was the standard Disney BOGO and the others remained full price. Suspicious that it was just the system giving priority to the Disney BOGO, I then went to another store.
At that store, I successfully acquired Surf's Up/Enemy of the State and Pirates 2/Day After Tomorrow.
But that's all they had that I wanted.
I went to a third store and loaded up. Got Final Fantasy/Crank/Cruel Intentions/Wild Things/Stargate/The Prestige all in one go, and got Apocalypto/Robocop separately. At all times I kept a Disney/Buena Vista title in the mix just in case the 'error'(?) was tied to that, given my first experience, but never more than one. Also I can confirm titles over $30 didn't work for me and I left them behind. Since I am getting the Disney titles through Amazon anyway best case, I also can confirm that I was able to return those titles (which I did about an hour later) without effecting anything else on the receipt, as the Circuit City deal is per-title rather than a true 2-for-1.
Awesome.
I'd pick some up, but I don't know if I want to throw away 2 hours getting nowhere like I did with my Tysons Corner Circuit city stores last week in my vain effort to buy RoboCop. I'd take FF2 and DAT for $15/ea, especially as I have a coupon. (Though I'd like to wait and see if a FF2 extended cut emerges.)

Well, I started out at the Leesburg Pike CC, went to the Tysons CC next, and hit up the Baileys Crossroads CC after that. And you can see what happened at each in my post above. (Tons of people in the DC area on this forum) The Baileys Crossroads CC has a *much* larger selection of BDs than the other two - larger even than the Tysons Best Buy to my surprise - and that was were I found Robocop. But I must say that I grabbed the last one of those unfortunately. Still, they have a ton of choice there.
Can anyone confirm if this is online as well?

hope this doesnt mean the deal is over, i want DAT and FFROSS for $15.00 each.
MySassyGirl 10-15-07, 06:18 PM the selections at CC are limited...VERY limited....just wasted a trip over there.
hope this doesnt mean the deal is over, i want DAT and FFROSS for $15.00 each.
I am going to go to another CC, later on to see. I really think that it was the register the second time around. The first time, I paid at the main register, but the second time, the main register got too bust and there was a big arse line. Some sales guy (in the HDTV section) grabbed me and had to switch two registers in the HDTV section, as the terminals were not working ::confused:
faux123 10-15-07, 06:22 PM Argh..... Just got back from CC again. In 2 trips, I've bought 18 blu-ray titles. I bought mostly LionsGate and Fox titles because they are rarely if at all on sale. I am slightly pissed off at paying amazon (27.95 - 10%) prices for some of the Fox titles I bought last week, I could have saved a bundle at CC.
Interesting side note, both trips different check out clerks but both of them were promoting Transformers HD DVD pretty hard to me and telling me to come back tomorrow to pickup a copy and they seemed pretty genuinely excited about the release.
Here are my 18 titles to show that the BOGO deal is real:
Devil's reject, a few good men, basic instinct, phonebooth, hitch hiker's guide, transporter 2, planet of the apes, evil dead II, stir of echos, 28 days late, entrapment, jay and silent bob, American psycho, young guns, saw 1 2 and 3, strange than fiction.
Richr 13 10-15-07, 06:39 PM I stopped byy and was told it was only for items on the list. Not just that, bu both titles needed to be on the list. I walked out empty handed.
ResOGlas 10-15-07, 06:40 PM Just got back
Day after Tomorrow - $15
Underworld - $12.50
The Guardian - $15
Secret Window - $12.50
Day after Tomorrow - $15
Sigh - I wish some of the local stores here had more Fox titles...
_Avarice_ 10-15-07, 06:48 PM this would be a good excuse to pick up Day After Tomorrow and Fantastic Four Silver Surfer. i'll need to stop by local CC after work.
I just did exactly that. In my local store (Tampa, FL), you had to choose a BR off the qualifying list (Sony, Buena Vista) and then you could pick any other BR of equal or lesser value from ANY studio for free.
I purchased Enemy of the state & Fantastic Four: ROTSS, The Guardian & Day After Tomorrow, Tears of the Sun & Hitch.
I could not just do any two titles, because I first tried Kingdom of Heaven & X-men 3....no dice!
Still a great deal, nonetheless.
rutlian 10-15-07, 06:57 PM if you have them matched frys price for kingdom of heaven, maybe it will work in the register, K of H is 29.95 with frys.
There aren't really any Disney titles I want that don't already have. I was thinking about geting Deja Vu and Gone in 60 Seconds at Amazon as it was (would be much cheaper), but I don't know if I liked Deja Vu THAT much, and I'd rather wait for a DC BD of Gone.
Pissed about Robocop. Had CC been able to tell me Baileys had it last week I'd have gone out there to get it. That's what I was saving my rewards dollars for.
xolan99 10-15-07, 07:11 PM Can somebody explain to me what I have to do to get this sale? Also what does BOGO mean?
Johnsteph10 10-15-07, 07:13 PM BOGO = Buy One Get One (Free)
thebjorlo 10-15-07, 07:18 PM I stopped by the store in Tyson's corner after work (the one behind the mall, not the one on route 7) and one of the guys working the register had no clue what I was talking about. He asked his supervisor and she typed something in which took half the price of each movie. I got 300, the departed, fifth element, and halloween for a little over 50 bucks. It seemed to me that the sale wasn't something that automatically registered in the system, but that the employees had to enter manually. And if you do stop by the tyson's corner store be warned, the pickings are slim...
I might try calling Circuit City online to order Robocop, but I don't know how I can prove to them the stores have been selling it $10 less than the website. I called Baileys, and they didn't even say they were sold out of it, just that I could order it online. Oh, it's backordered too.
Interesting, that none of the above titles are Disney and you got the sale.

I went to the same store (on Chain Bridge Road right before the on ramp for I-495). It rang up BOGO with no problems as long the original movies is $29.99 or less. I believes some of your titles is over $29.99 which the cashier who rang me up would not give the discount.

Dot50Cal 10-15-07, 07:49 PM Guys, they arent BOGO (although they basically are) They are 50% off. You don't need to purchase more than one title. Thats what it rang up at my CC in Dickson City PA. So awesome :D
Stargate - 12.50
300 - 15.00
Patriot - 12.50
Punisher - 12.50
Heading back tomorrow to see if they have Robocop and such in!
LpChaos 10-15-07, 08:01 PM Here's a quick ? for you guys..
Do you think it would be possible to "return" the Buy2Get1Free titles I purchased last week and simply re-purchase them? I assume I'd have no issue, but the ? I have is the titles that rang up free, if I were to "return" them, what amount of credit would I recieve back if any?
Man-o-war 10-15-07, 08:04 PM This can be hit and miss.
Went to first store picked up 6 titles from various companies. No problem all rang up at half price.
Went to second CC, this is a new store only been open a month or so. They had no clue. When she scanned them they came up full price. 4 workers later they finally find the BOGO free deal on the system that lists the 25 or so titles and would only do the deal if both movies were on that list.
Didn't matter that I had just gotten the 50% deal at another store not more then 30 mins before it. Reciept or not, they weren't gonna budge.....
YMMV
Looks like I'm outta time for tonight; might call again tomorrow in case they get any more RoboCops.
I forgot to say when I asked about the RoboCop Blu-ray the girl thought I was asking for a player and wanted to know what brand it was.:rolleyes:

Buy the new one. Bring it back tomorrow with the old receipt from last week and return it. They will take it back and give you full credit since you have not open it.

The one in Fair Lakes had 1 RoboCop left a bit earlier.
Chris Rein 10-15-07, 08:56 PM Damn you for finding this offer! I went up there and added a good number to my small collection (waiting for the war to settle down some and only getting flicks under $15).
I wish the FOX titles, well most of them, were half off. Seems like anything over $29.99 wasn't working, so I didn't get those titles.
They all rang up at 50% off. I did score the last Surf's Up, so my son is happy!
By the way, they just put out a list of titles for $29.99 and $24.99. I got several that weren't on that list. Maybe I should have tried the $34.99 titles! :( I just took it from this forum that it was only $29.99 and under. Anyone with success over $29?
briankmonkey 10-15-07, 09:01 PM Anybody on the San Francisco Peninsula have luck getting Surf's Up or The Day After Tomorrow?
MrXpress 10-15-07, 09:21 PM I just did exactly that. In my local store (Tampa, FL), you had to choose a BR off the qualifying list (Sony, Buena Vista) and then you could pick any other BR of equal or lesser value from ANY studio for free.

Still a great deal, nonetheless.
If you don't mind me asking, which CC in Tampa was this? My gf tried getting The Queen, 28 Weeks Later, 28 Days Later, and Superman Returns, and no discount was applied neither while being rung up nor after the total was calculated. This was at the New Tampa location off Bruce B. Downs, so if there's another CC in Tampa that is actually running this deal, I'll make a trip tomorrow.
Chris Rein 10-15-07, 09:31 PM Crap. Then I see the Amazon deal. All the Disney movies are going back to CC now as I can get 2 more on Amazon and STILL come out under what I paid for 5 of them at CC. Saves me tax and I get the 10% discout which comes to $10 a disc. Lord have mercy on my bank account this week.
I am going to go to another CC, later on to see. I really think that it was the register the second time around. The first time, I paid at the main register, but the second time, the main register got too bust and there was a big arse line. Some sales guy (in the HDTV section) grabbed me and had to switch two registers in the HDTV section, as the terminals were not working ::confused:
Went to another CC near my house and not only they were aware of the BOGO deal, they also had a Micky-Mouse printed form. Alas, this store is smaller than the one which I went to at lunch time and therefore had less titles. In any case, I picked up Letters from Iwo Jima and Bullitt ($15 + $12.50), in addition to the 4 titles which I had picked up at lunch.
The sales girl told me that there is no glitch in their system and that the sale was going to be good through Saturday. Further, she told me that when I had troubles at the other store earlier (my second trip), the cashier probably did not know what code to enter (as instructed by their computer), to get the BOGO. She did not have Surf's Up, but that should be also for $15. I will revisit tomorrow and if Transporters is half price, I will buy that + Surf's Up on BD. We shall see ;-)
Edit: As mentioned before, BOGO not applicable to movies over $30, so no KoH for me :-(
JaylisJayP 10-15-07, 09:39 PM Just got back from Circuit City myself....it was weird, they had the Blu-Rays buy 1, get 1 free but the HD DVDs just 50% off...hmm.
Anyway, picked up 8 more!!!
Blood Diamond HD DVD
The Jerk HD DVD
Bullitt HD DVD
Breach HD DVD
House of Wax HD DVD
Feast HD DVD
The Descent blu-ray
Vertical Limit blu-ray
I tried and tried, but for the life of me could not get Best Buy to match the deal. I wonder if this will still be going on tomorrow with Transformers coming out for HD DVD??
LpChaos 10-15-07, 09:44 PM Buy the new one. Bring it back tomorrow with the old receipt from last week and return it. They will take it back and give you full credit since you have not open it.
So for example, The Covenant rang up free.. Are you suggesting I go back, buy it using the deal and then return it to get the $15.00 back, hence making a profit (as I don't want the film).
I'm most interested to see if they can give me some money back for the other titles that rang up regular price as part of the deal. $29.98 for Underworld: Evolution and $24.98 for Into the Blue and Patriot. Because if so, I can just return Underworld (don't really want it) and then re buy Into the Blue and Patriot for only $24.00 total!
_Avarice_ 10-15-07, 09:44 PM If you don't mind me asking, which CC in Tampa was this? My gf tried getting The Queen, 28 Weeks Later, 28 Days Later, and Superman Returns, and no discount was applied neither while being rung up nor after the total was calculated. This was at the New Tampa location off Bruce B. Downs, so if there's another CC in Tampa that is actually running this deal, I'll make a trip tomorrow.
Nice to see another HDM-supporter in Tampa :D
I went to the CC in Citrus Park (Citrus Park Drive & Veterans Expressway). I was under the impression that you could only make it work if one of the movies was on the list of Disney/Sony BOGO offers....but it sounds like anything $29.99 or under will work.
In this particular store, there is no mention of a Blu-ray sale whatsoever. I just grabbed a dozen titles and took them to the register and had the girl scan in combinations and she was surprised to find the promotion applied.
ChrisW6ATV 10-15-07, 09:51 PM The sale worked in the Hayward store. I just bought six movies:
Mission: Impossible 3 (HD DVD)
Trading Places (HD DVD)
The Manchurian Candidate (HD DVD)
The Pursuit Of Happyness (Blu-ray)
The Terminator (Blu-ray)
Chicago (Blu-ray)
Also, notice that the sale worked on a mixture of both formats.
briankmonkey 10-15-07, 09:53 PM thx Chris
Ergoguy34 10-15-07, 09:54 PM Yip HD DVD are all BOGO and the BD selction here at my local was limited but I still managed to spend $90 on 6 HDM's The sale runs all week but from the way the BD bin here in Milbury Mass looked they will be out tomorrow..
ResOGlas 10-15-07, 09:58 PM So when does this sale end?
Yip HD DVD are all BOGO and the BD selction here at my local was limited but I still managed to spend $90 on 6 HDM's
Including $29.99 COMBO discs.
Chris Rein 10-15-07, 10:10 PM Including $29.99 COMBO discs.
Crap! My instincts should have told me to try it anyway as I had Knocked Up and Next in my hands, but I asked the guy and he said "No". Grrr!!!
I'll be back tomorrow as I am returning the Disney ones I got as I got a much better deal on those on Amazon (BOGO, 10% off, No Tax).
sixfootse7en 10-15-07, 10:18 PM I went back to CC. Tonight I got:
Saw $12.50
Saw II $15
Saw III $15
Ice Age: The Meltdown $15
I'm going to go to a different location tomorrow to hopefully buy more.

Which CC did you go to in NYC? Would appreciate you letting me know either here or PM. Thanks.
JaylisJayP 10-15-07, 10:45 PM I love this deal, but I can't understand why Circuit City would include Transformers in this deal? It just doesn't make sense...the hottest release before the holidays, why would they discount it so much? Well, I'll be there at opening to buy it one way or another, guess I'll find out.
Ralph Jenkins 10-15-07, 10:50 PM I stopped by the store in Tyson's corner after work (the one behind the mall, not the one on route 7) and one of the guys working the register had no clue what I was talking about. He asked his supervisor and she typed something in which took half the price of each movie. I got 300, the departed, fifth element, and halloween for a little over 50 bucks. It seemed to me that the sale wasn't something that automatically registered in the system, but that the employees had to enter manually. And if you do stop by the tyson's corner store be warned, the pickings are slim...
I stopped by the store on route 7 after work, and while the pickings were slim, the clerk who rang me up actually told me all of the Blu-ray Discs were "BOGO" before I said anything (he didn't know it also applied to HD DVDs, though). I wanted to buy more from that store because the employee was surprisingly helpful, but it looked like they'd been pretty much cleaned out before I got there. On the way home (I have a pretty good commute), I hit the Fairfax store on Jermantown road and found it had a much better selection than the Tyson's store. I saw 28 Weeks Later, FF: RotSS, DAT, RoboCop, and more. The Fairfax store also had a bunch of BDs in a bin with a "Buy One, Get One Free" sign (these were the titles on the list, but there were some good titles included like Casino Royale and Rocky Balboa).
I found that I could mix and match BDs and HD DVDs with no problems. The discount was applied automatically at the register once the cashier hit total. This was my haul:
The Day After Tomorrow (29.99)
28 Weeks Later (29.99)
Unforgiven (24.99)
A Few Good Men (24.99)
Total (before tax): 55.00
Troy: Director's Cut (HD DVD) (24.99, even though sticker said 29.99)
Land of the Dead (HD DVD) (29.99)
Blazing Saddles (24.99)
Revenge (29.99)
Total (before tax): 52.50
buster2 10-15-07, 10:53 PM techwisenyc.went to the store on 80th and broadway.i have most of the titles there that i would want but they had a pretty good selection if i was just starting out building a collection .i just picked up through amazon the other day 'day after tomorrow'and '28 weeks later'otherwise i'd have picked them up tonight
Crimson King 10-15-07, 10:53 PM So could somebody please clarify a little bit. I could go pick up 2 15 dollar titles and get another 2 for free?
Megalith 10-15-07, 10:54 PM Man, I thought it only applied to Blu-ray, since some genius said that all titles were B1G1, and the discount didn't apply for Children of Men and Miami Vice.
buster2 10-15-07, 11:04 PM i bought mine at two seperate times.first one was ROBO COP at $29.99.second disc was 'dawn of the dead'at $24.99
they added the two together and charged me$27.48. then added tax so the total came to $29.79
just under $15each...........but my second batch came in at $12.49 each =tax as they were all $24.99 titles.
maybe i'll find time to watch them if i can get off the computer
Ralph Jenkins 10-15-07, 11:08 PM Man, I thought it only applied to Blu-ray, since some genius said that all titles were B1G1, and the discount didn't apply for Children of Men and Miami Vice.
Apparently, the discount doesn't apply if the title is over $29.99.
I wonder if this is something that's going to be "corrected" soon....

THanks. I didn't know the HD DVD's were part of this. I went to the 14th Street one and they had nothing I wanted on Blu-Ray. Very poor selection over there and they are all seriously out of order. You just went straight to the register and didn't even bother to ask anyone right? I should go to the 80th one tomorrow and pick up titles. Probably shouldn't have ordered Transformers from Amazon.
Megalith 10-15-07, 11:12 PM Oh my god, I bought the Sentinel, and just read HDD's review of it.
I think I will be returning something tomorrow.
I just got back from the Clackamas CC in Portland, OR and the deal definitely works there. Got Goodfellas and Unforgiven for half-off each. THANKS for the heads up, folks.
Just to clarify: It only works at some stores, it only works for titles priced less than $30. The titles should ring up in the system as 50% off, so a $24.99 titles becomes $12.50, a $29.99 becomes $15.00.
Technically it's supposed to be B1G1 but you could probably get an odd number of titles since the sales people at CC really don't seem to care.
Pens1566 10-15-07, 11:18 PM The under $30 part sucks. I want to pick up Kingdom of Heaven and From Hell. :(
sixfootse7en 10-15-07, 11:21 PM So could somebody please clarify a little bit. I could go pick up 2 15 dollar titles and get another 2 for free?
No.
Think of it more like 50% off sale than a B1G1. The only catch is that it's for movies $29.99 and less.
49er fan 10-15-07, 11:37 PM I got 6 movies from CC today, and man my wallet is hurting since I also got 3 from Fry's & 3 from Amazon on the way.
faux123 10-15-07, 11:38 PM I just come back from my 3rd trip to my local CC. This time when I walked up to the counter, the clerk automatically said "oh, its buy one get one free" with my mixed Blu and HD DVD titles. My local CC is pretty much picked clean of good titles. I hope they restock tonight for tomorrow's Transformer release.
audiophreak 10-15-07, 11:42 PM when does this promotion end?
cawgijoe 10-15-07, 11:49 PM when does this promotion end?
Saturday is the last day.
cawgijoe 10-15-07, 11:52 PM Got The Day After Tomorrow and Eight Below at the CC in Fairfax, VA.
Arpeggi 10-16-07, 12:12 AM Got The Day After Tomorrow and 28 Days Later at the Huntington Beach, CA store.
They had Mr.Brooks already out on the shelves.
Didn't have The Fly, From Hell, Robocop.
joker454 10-16-07, 12:25 AM Thanks for this tip guys, I just got Disturbia and Crank for $15 each at the Thousand Oaks, CA store. Robocop was not available there alas ;(
zalahmar 10-16-07, 12:26 AM Picked up the following from Burbank, CA store.
Gridiron Gang
Vacancy
Perfect Stranger
We are Marshall
Ice Age: The Meltdown
Broken Arrow
Entrapment
Reign Over Me
Selection was slim pickings. None of the new Fox titles were available. Will check again this week. I still want to pick up
Day After Tomorrow
The Fly
Edward Scissor Hands
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
rutlian 10-16-07, 12:29 AM got the day after tommorow, casino royale, crank and robocop.
cws_kahuna 10-16-07, 12:39 AM Got 4 today in Surfs Up, Wild Hogs, The Prestige and F4 Silver Surfer. Now that I hear it's working on HD DVDs as well I'm gonna have to make another trip. Also hoping to find Underworld, guess I'll have to try another store as well.
Selection was slim pickings. None of the new Fox titles were available.
The CC on Sunset in Los Feliz/Hollywood had FF:RotSS and 28 Weeks behind the counter, so maybe Burbank did too. I'm still hoping to get Robocop and Edward Scissorhands, but it's pretty unlikely I'll find them.
cws_kahuna 10-16-07, 12:59 AM Got The Day After Tomorrow and 28 Days Later at the Huntington Beach, CA store.

Please tell your thoughts on Mr. Brooks when you get a chance.
SanDiegoinHD 10-16-07, 01:10 AM Yep, this is awesome. For the first time in a while I did not get the Sunday paper, I just walked into CC after going to see a movie this evening and saw a poster that showed selected titles, regularly priced at 24.99 or 29.99 were buy one get one free. I was like nice!
They have a flier taped to the rack, that shows the sale going from 10/14 - 10/20, I live in San Diego FYI.
I was looking at some different movies (Most of the 'good' ones on the list I already own) Some sales kid comes up and starts bs'ing with me.
Turns out ALL the BR movies are buy one get one free (Excluding the ones listed at 34.99, which are a handful of them)
Even turns out he said it was the same for HD-DVD
I left with 14 new movies paying a little over 200 bucks. I went nuts.
breakdown
HD-DVD
Field of Dreams = 12.50
Hulk = 12.50
Flags of our Fathers = 15.00
Knocked Up = 15.00
Blu-Ray
We are Marshall = 15.00
RoboCop = 15.00
Ladder 49 = 15.00
Enemy of the State = 15.00
Surf's Up = 15.00
Firewall = 15.00
Memento = 12.50
A Few Good Men = 12.50
Reservoir Dogs = 12.50
The Fugitive = 12.50
Get em while their hot. I would have to think its a glitch since they have a specific list of sale items, it did not say all, but the sales kid did not care...
Stereodude 10-16-07, 01:53 AM Can anyone confirm if this is online as well?No, it's not online.
QCamera 10-16-07, 01:56 AM Thanks OP for posting such a fantastic deal. Ur the best!
kamiller42 10-16-07, 02:24 AM If this is really a glitch, you would think someone some where in the CC universe would raise an eyebrow. It's a heck of a deal though.
DigitalfreakNYC 10-16-07, 02:30 AM 86th st in Manhattan was seriously picked over. They had a sign up about the sale with a list of titles (that was inaccurate).
lllllllxlllllllx 10-16-07, 03:32 AM Just got back
Day after Tomorrow - $15
Underworld - $12.50
The Guardian - $15
Secret Window - $12.50
where u get day after tomorrow at and is there anymore?
plasmabuyer 10-16-07, 03:35 AM Went today and picked up Koh, Entrapment, FFRoSS, AvP - all for $15 each!!! The girl at the counter was having difficulty with getting the 1/2 price for the KoH and AvP, however since I had already aligned with the dept. rep and he had told me that everything was on sale - she just fudged the system to blindly assign $15 each even though KoH and AvP are $34.99 each :D.
I guess I got lucky today and saved $5 more dollars on the 2 titles :).

Very nice! I contemplated pushing for that too, as I really wanted KoH on the BOGO deal. I figured I was already getting away with murder by including other Fox titles, so I didn't push my luck :p
Supermans 10-16-07, 04:07 AM Hmm, I have to travel to CC tomorrow :)
Thanks OP for posting such a fantastic deal. Ur the best!
Glad I could help.. To good of a deal to keep quiet... :D
Chris
I called the Fairfax, VA store and they told me there was no such sale. So maybe the Virginia stores are not doing it.
I can confirm this store is doing it. I picked up 10 movies here yesterday.. Its ALL CC's are doing it, you just need to tell the sales person they are on sale, and they need to enter "02" for the promotion when it pops up at the very end. I picked up a total of 18 movies yesteday at 2 diff CC's in the NOVA area...
The one in Fair Lakes had 1 RoboCop left a bit earlier.
I think I got the last one there when I was there at 6pm, as I couldnt find another one I was looking for a friend, but I got mine :)
pulliags 10-16-07, 08:08 AM Anyone have confirmation that this is still working today(Tuesday)? I want to confirm that the system hasn't been updated overnight before making the trip to CC. Thanks!

did u happen to pick up any hd-dvds as well in the fairfax store? just wanted to see if va stores are doing both promotions like others.
i'm heading to the springfield location later to check for both br and hd-dvds... and hopefully pick up transformers with this promotion.

Its a little early for that as CC's dont open for a few hours, but once 10am rolls around, I too would LOVE to know if this is still working.. The 18 I got yesterday just arent enough :)

Yes, I got a mix of BRD and HD-DVD's... Worked great, I did 2 transactions there as I (and my wife) kept finding more we wanted, and each time it worked

MrXpress 10-16-07, 08:24 AM Nice to see another HDM-supporter in Tampa :D

D'oh! I got home from class and my gf apparently never looked at the receipt (she just heard the total from the cashier, which was $9x.xx something), which had showed the discount applied and a total of $64 for 3 movies (The Queen, 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later), but it was too late to go back as it was 9pm at that time and CC was closed. I'm heading back today to maybe see if we can get that 4th 'free' movie thrown in on the transaction, and to buy some more stuff (hopefully it hasn't been fixed yet in the system).

I accidentally did this as well (Had an odd number). I went back to the casheir, said I accidentaly had a odd number, and could I add this to the receipt and rebuy the full price one. They returned my full price (Troy:DC), had $25 credit, resold it to me, and I added in Day After Tomorrow (at $30), and once the discount was applied, I owed $2.50 more... So yeah, its possible as long as the deal is still going on
J P Morgan 10-16-07, 08:30 AM Thanks for the heads up on this fantastic deal. Picked up 4 for $57.
Would have gotten more but the shelves were picked clean.
I'll try another CC after work today.

I went to the Fairfax store anyway yesterday....got there a bit before you and got The Day After Tomorrow and Eight Below.
I want to go back today, but I wonder if there is anything left?

I am sure you could find something, but it was picked over pretty well... Good pickup on DAT, thats such a great movie, and screams to be in HD.
robertc88 10-16-07, 09:28 AM I'd be surprised if my local CC stores are picked over yet. That may change though when some folks pick up Transformers and inadverently come to find out what is going on.
FYI - Two local Best Buys seem to have plenty of the titles announced in the flyer for $29.99 BOGO and also the ones on sale for $14.99 apiece. Maybe lots of folks already have them.
I went to the East Hanover, NJ CC where I picked up Silent Hill and 28 Weeks Later with the BOGO. I was hoping to grab a few others that weren't included in the BB BOGO as I had already hit there and picked up 8 others. However, the CC selection was quite bad so I consider myself lucky to have been able to get 28 Weeks Later there. :)
They did have AvP and Kingdom of Heaven which I would have liked as well but they were marked at $34.99 so I didn't try to include those with the BOGO...perhaps I should have.. :(
So I had a fun time for about 30 minutes when I got home last night removing the security stickers from a nice pile of new Blu-rays. :D

Did you check out the Mannassas store?
I'll probably head to the Baileys store if the sale's still working today, though I have this horrible feeling I'll go on an hours-long quest hopping store-to-store in search of RoboCops that will be sold out til I get there.

Call them first and ask if it's in stock.
I've been looking for Flags of Our Fathers......looks like it's gone and of course it's Paramount....:(
cawgijoe 10-16-07, 10:42 AM I called Fairfax this morning asking about selection and re-stock....unfortunately the kid they have working the DVD department is nice, but could only say...."we have some left"......not sure if it's worth wasting the gas.
There are a couple Fox titles I'd pick up anyway, so I'll at least head to one store.
jkcheng122 10-16-07, 10:52 AM CC in sugar land, tx has a very poor selection of titles, none of the titles released in Oct were there. not talking about out of stock either, was never sku'ed. a far cry from the Best Buy less than a mile away but Best Buy doesnt have the entire BR stock on BOGOF.
skoolpsyk 10-16-07, 10:53 AM Here in Palmdale CA, the selection was so small I ended up getting nothing. Today is new release Tuesday and I'm hoping to get the Masters of Horrors volumes. But as of yesterday they couldn't tell me if they would have them. Sad.
cawgijoe 10-16-07, 10:55 AM Does the sale still apply if you just buy one?
Dead.Horse 10-16-07, 10:56 AM I was able to pick up 4 titles at the CC in Mesa, AZ
Casino Royale - $15
The Departed - $15
Black Hawk Down - $12.50
Memento - $12.50
They had a VERY small selection of HD-DVD at the store I went to, and I didn't try to buy any. It seems kinda stupid to not have the HD movies with the rest of the DVD's. They had them on small racks back in the TV section.
Ralph Jenkins 10-16-07, 11:05 AM It's funny that there are so many AVS members in my neck of the woods (I live in Manassas, VA). Anyway, the Manassas store had RoboCop as of Sunday, and the Fairfax store still had at least one copy near closing time last night.

I'm going to try the Manassas store on the way home later. If I can't find two that I want, I'm goign to see if the sale still works just ringing one up as others have reported.
pulliags 10-16-07, 11:11 AM The Winston-Salem, NC store still had this deal as of 10:30am this morning(Tuesday).
I work until 6. Unless they restock I have little chance of scoring RoboCop. Maybe I should call and ask them to hold it since my birthday is this week. :)
cawgijoe 10-16-07, 11:24 AM I work until 6. Unless they restock I have little chance of scoring RoboCop. Maybe I should call and ask them to hold it since my birthday is this week. :)
Normally they won't hold, but I've sweet talked them into it before. If you do get them to hold, make sure it's at the front counter and with your name attached and call to check if it's actually still there before you go.

svalentine 10-16-07, 11:39 AM Anybody try doing this deal today, October 16th?
pulliags 10-16-07, 11:50 AM Yes...See above...I picked up FFROTSS and Surf's Up this morning...10/16/2007
Clever_User_Name 10-16-07, 11:50 AM Yes, just bought Transformers using the promo
DangerousK 10-16-07, 11:55 AM I just went to 2 Circuit City's this morning and picked up 11 BD's and 1 HD DVD.
I need to stop now.
The Kubrick movies come out next week, plus 4 more from Fry's I ordered.
Ugh...too much money spent the past few days on BD.
I got Robocop and Surf's Up yesterday at $15 each.
Was hoping for the Fly.
I believe you can buy just 1 and it'll be $15.
ajamils 10-16-07, 12:06 PM CC in sugar land, tx has a very poor selection of titles, none of the titles released in Oct were there. not talking about out of stock either, was never sku'ed. a far cry from the Best Buy less than a mile away but Best Buy doesnt have the entire BR stock on BOGOF.
That sucks !!! I was planning to go to that store in few minutes :mad:
skoolpsyk 10-16-07, 12:12 PM They had a VERY small selection of HD-DVD at the store I went to, and I didn't try to buy any. It seems kinda stupid to not have the HD movies with the rest of the DVD's. They had them on small racks back in the TV section.
Same here. We had to ask where they were--we couldn't find them. The were on a small rack in the TV section. They weren't even in alphabetical order--we had to thumb through every one, which didn't take too long since there weren't that many!
Joe Wong 10-16-07, 12:12 PM Don,
how many copies of Day After Tomorrow were there?
Already picked up Fantastic Four 2 and Apocalypto in Freehold.
Thanks,
Joe

BrickTop 10-16-07, 12:20 PM Anybody from the Canton, Ohio area have any luck yet? I am not very close to one, so I'm not wanting to make the trek if there is no info.
Thanks,

The sale appears to be nationwide.
Just head to CC and get what you want.
svalentine 10-16-07, 12:32 PM My poor wallet :(
yellowlt4 10-16-07, 12:32 PM I scored 12 BD's yesterday and went back this morning at open to see if I could get Transformers HD and there wasn't a copy to be found.
Wow, what a trip. Went back to Sterling, VA CC this morning after reading all these latest posts and brought 9 Blue cases to the register. The cashier had no idea about anything, and they rang up full price. So he sent me over to Customer Service.
At Customer Service I was met a with blank look, so I asked him to call the Tyson's VA (not the mall) store as I'd read about in a prior post here. The info that he got from them was that it was buy one get one free, so after he hung up I removed one of my 9 selections after he said "no" to a straight 50% off each (leaving me with 8). Then he looked at my titles and said that I could not get the rebate because all of my movies were "different" (i.e. not two of the same movie) LOL! After another phone call, and exactly 45 minutes after I'd arrived at the first cashier, he finally had them all rung up and I thought I was good to go.
As I was pulling out my payment, he asked me for my phone number, and as usual when retail stores ask me this I declined to provide it. He then said he would not complete the sale without my phone number.. He had to call another employee over (there were no managers at this store..) and after five more minutes, (and after trying to explain to him why the 555-1212 number I at one point provided him would not show up in his system) he finally bagged up the movies and off I ran. Literally.
For anyone else in this area looking for Blu-Ray stock, this particular CC certainly has a decent selection left (and there was at least one Robocop for those looking) but I sincerely wish you luck in making your purchase. The fellow who I dealt with looked like he was leaving after my transaction, and did not tell any other employees about the sale.
But if you can persevere it's probably worth it. :)
Hi Joe,
I had bought Day After Tomorrow 6 days ago for $32.00 I returned it today for refund and then rebought it for $15. There were'nt any copies left today.
Oh, forgot to add -- none of today's releases were to be found.
skipfreely 10-16-07, 12:41 PM Well I bought 28 days/weeks later as well as fantastic four 2/ day after tomorrow.
I just saw the review for 28 days later and I'm going to return it. Do I keep Day After Tomorrow? eye candy but not a great movie.
I'm thinking about getting Casino Royale or superman 2. Any thoughts?
BlueMan1 10-16-07, 12:42 PM Got 28 Weeks Later and Underworld: Evolution for 15.00 each this morning
Sterling's a bit out there, especially in the evening, but I'll keep it in mind, though it doesn't sound like the stupidity is worth it. Fairfax is a possiblility if they have any Robos; still hoping Bailey's restocks, since it sounds like they have a good selection and little trouble at the register; but I don't want to buy there and end up another place with Robocop and nothing else to buy with it to get the deal. Man, what a hassle. :)

You can't go wrong with Casino Royale. I didn't much care for the Donner Cut of S2 and have resisted it, as I have it on DVD and prefer the theatrical. In my opinion the "Donner cut" has more warts.
nvmyprixgt 10-16-07, 01:05 PM Gonna try this later today at the CC in sterling heights, MI... hopefully it will work out. so i dont need to buy certain titles, it should be any hd or bluray 29.99 and under right at 50% off?
pulliags 10-16-07, 01:21 PM ^Yes...I bought two titles that weren't Disney/Sony and they worked fine.

From my own experience in and reading other posts here, it's going to vary depending on the store, and the staff on hand. Where I got mine I was told "buy one get one free", on any Blu-Ray title, and he would not just do 50% off when I had an odd number of titles. He also said that price did not matter, and also specifically said if it was > $30 it would still work.
But keep in mind this was his own "interpretation" of the sale, after hearing secondhand through a phone call to another store. And he did not ring up any special promo code, he just manually deducted the prices at the register.
Good luck at your store! And if you can't get the special pricing, have them call around to other places.
By the way, does anyone have a link to an actual flyer or circular or anything at all that spells out exactly what the sale should be? Best I could find was a link in another forum to a CC intranet site that was unavailable. Would be nice if we could just print something up and take it to those stores that don't have a clue.
ttundraman 10-16-07, 01:34 PM No luck at the Rocky Mount, NC store, everything rang up at the listed price.
palmeiro 10-16-07, 01:40 PM Bought Transformers and Surf's Up for $15 each at Northridge, CA store. The kid didn't know what I was talking about and I just told him to ring them up and sure enough, they rang $15 each. I should go back this lunch and look around more.
chucky08016 10-16-07, 01:44 PM Just came back from the Princeton, NJ store and purchased the following:
BD:
The Fifth Element
King Aurthur
The Prestige
The Day After Tomorrow
Enemy of the State
HD DVD:
Transformers
ALL were marked down (including Transformers) as part of the BOGO offer. What I found weird is that they only had 1 endcap for BD whereas they had 2 endcaps for HD DVD. I thought that CC was biased torwards Blu-Ray... or I guess thats what the fanboys say.
I'm now going to the Mt. Holly, NJ store to see what I can get there. I'll report when I get back.
stumlad 10-16-07, 01:46 PM No luck at the Rocky Mount, NC store, everything rang up at the listed price.
Did you actually go to purchase them or did you just have them do a price check/pseudo sale?
I mentioned this on another thread, but simply "scanning" them won't apply the discount. They have to go to one or two separate screens before the discount kicks in. I'm not sure what the second screen does, but the final screen then shows all the items at half off. Also, at my store getting more than 8 resulted in the rest being regular price.
Jerry Curl 10-16-07, 01:47 PM For those of you in the Baltimore, Maryland area...
The CC in Glen Burnie is only doing the BOGO for select BD titles. They even have them in a separate bin. Looks like mostly Disney titles from what I saw.
The CC in Arundel Mills is doing the BOGO for all titles, even HD DVD. I got Transformers, RoboCop, Knocked up, and American Psycho for half off. :D

The dummy at the Tysons Corner CC (the one by the mall) told me that store stocks more HD DVD. Of course, she didn't know enough to check other stores' inventory. Funny that they let the BD selection go to pot after having moved it so that it's visible on entrance to the store, unlike the HD DVDs. It was a lot better when they first moved them. They had few last time I was there (decent titles though, save lack of Robo), but all mixed up in no kind of order whatsoever, though the guy there said they were supposed to be alphabetical.
Like I said before you can't expect much from the backers of Div-X. They want everyone to buy those Transformers HD DVDs, so that they can buy them again on BD in another year or so. :)

The Fairfax, VA store has a bin also with the list of titles the sale pertains to, however I grabbed The Day After Tomorrow and Eight Below and still got the sale price. So try it.....it may work.
plastikpyro 10-16-07, 01:51 PM So Cal as of 10:30am
picked up
transformers
underworld evolution
robocop
surfs up
total: $64.40
Going back to look for Troy and TMNT
Jerry Curl 10-16-07, 01:53 PM The Fairfax, VA store has a bin also with the list of titles the sale pertains to, however I grabbed The Day After Tomorrow and Eight Below and still got the sale price. So try it.....it may work.
The sales woman told me specifically only titles from that bin. I asked where the BD section was, she pointed to the bin and said "These are BOGO free. The other BD section is around the corner." I asked if this included HD DVD, she said "No, only those in that bin." She was also the only girl working the register, so I decided to leave.
Damn. I wanted "The Day After Tomorrow" but couldnt find it at Arundel Mills. Didnt even bother to check at the other store.
Just got back from Circuit City on 14th Street in Manhattan-New York.
They've got a pretty big selection at 14th Street, CC on 86th and the 80th St Bway are wastelands now...
Anyway, I picked up 32 titles, the lady kept checking the savings, I think it was over $400 at one point:

My PS3 is going to get a workout this winter :D

By the way, 14th Street was out of stock on Robocop (got the last one), Casino Royale, and the new releases this week.
But they had pretty much everything else. Very large selection. At least over 1000 blu-rays. Sony, Fox, Lionsgate, etc.
CRFTony 10-16-07, 01:56 PM The Johnstown, PA CC is not participating in the sale.
Man, everything in Western PA sucks. :(
bonedaddy77 10-16-07, 02:01 PM I went during lunch and picked up the following
HD-DVD
---------
Transformers
Knocked Up
Blades of Glory
blu-ray
-------
Robocop
FF: Rise of Silver Surfer
Planet of the Apes
DangerousK 10-16-07, 02:04 PM Has anyone seen Saw 2 anywhere?
I know one of the earlier posters in the thread mentioned they got all 3.
I was able to track down 1 & 3, but 2 seems to be difficult to find.
baldbull 10-16-07, 02:05 PM What a great deal! The Lakewood, CA store had all HDM at BOGO (not just half price). It automatically rang up that way (even Transformers). I picked up:
BR:
Total Recall
Lethal Weapon
Crash
Terminator
T:2
HD DVD:
The Jerk
12 Monkeys
Transformers
All were $12.50 except for Crash and Transformers, which were $15. Again, thanks guys!!
MrXpress 10-16-07, 02:17 PM It took a trip to customer service (and a full-price purchase of Transformers HD) to get it, but it indeed worked. Picked up Donnie Brasco, Reservoir Dogs, Fantastic 4:RotSS, Crank, World Trade Center, and The Great Raid.
mt-parker 10-16-07, 02:24 PM The Bradenton, FL store worked liked a charm, I have over 100 titles so far for both formats so my selection was limited on what I needed.
Picked up Surfs UP, Day after Tommorrow, Broken Arrow and Silver Surfer for $63.00
rutlian 10-16-07, 02:28 PM got transformers, the invisible, kingdom of heaven and enemy of the state,
