Well, it's all relative to your situation, of course. BEST BUY has always worked for me because there are three in my immediate area, and it's very convenient to get to them and purchase my discs. It's actually the the easiest of all avenues for me.  Of course, I wouldn't be happy if it was a situation that didn't work for me, so I can understand others' complaints. I didn't like it when some of the MGM Midnite Movies premiered in Canada only. And I still don't like that some of the '50s AIP stuff is not available in R1. 

For what it's worth, the report said that the new set will be another exclusive, though not a Best Buy exclusive.

I'm being somewhat restrained in my optimism over this rumored set.

The rumors are really all over the place first it's coming 9/15, then it's not.  It may not come out this year if they can't get it done in time.  If not then either with Wolfman next year or next Halloween.  Island of Lost Souls won't be in the set, Island of Souls may be in the set, etc, etc.

Not that I doubt the source but there's too many variables and "ifs" so I'm prepping for a disappointment.

Actually, Amazon shipped my Classic Movie Archive set yesterday, so it looks like it's out.

I'll be interested in knowing if it truly is a 5-disc set as the original Best Buy release was only two discs.

I'll let you guys know as soon as mine comes in the mail.  Looks to be a straight repack though.

It (definitely) seems that the AMAZON.CA release is now scheduled for October 20th, 2009 which means another month yet go but since I wasn't really expecting this in the first place I will gladly wait for it.

At least one individual benefited from the news about the UNIVERSAL SCREEN HORROR CLASSIC ARCHIVES 5-disc set which is nice to know.

If the proposed unreleased Universal Pictures screen horror classics collection in not a BEST BUY exclusive then what else could it be?!

I am sure that THE MAD GHOUL (1943) is a likely selection to be selected for this (impending?) vintage screen horror classic collection.

THE INVADERS starring Roy Thinnes belongs in a DVD Collection.

Let them land!

I'm confused reading this thread, sorry.  I have UNIVERSAL HORROR MOVIE ARCHIVE on pre-order from Amazon.ca, but it sounds like all the discs were previously released?   I don't have them, when were they released?  Was it a US BEST BUY thing and now it's available for everyone?


Who knew a credit card could scream?

What I'm listening to right now!

That's it precisely.  I've had it for a few years now, but I had to pick it up in person at my local Best Buy.

Precisely. Living outside of the USA, I had to jump through hoops to get this one - essentially, finding someone willing to trudge off to bloody Best Buy and buy the thing and then mail it to me. I think the poor chap had to try three different stores in the end, and finally found a copy shoved in with the kung fu movies.

The thought of another Best Buy exclusive feels me with horror. Or any exclusive really, unless it's with a decent outfit like Amazon. I bet it's not though: mor elikely, WalMart :(

Just got this in the mail, and it is indeed just a repack. It's a 2 disc set, not 5, though I was pleasantly surprised to see that each disc is one sided, given Universal's problems with DVD-18s.

Another thread indicates that Universal Cult Horrors will be released in Oct., with five of the above titles (Zoo, Market, Rx, Ghoul and House).

However, I don't think it rings true, as I try to make the case in that other thread:
