Re: Weekly RoundUp 10-23-2007

Does anyone know what the Target B&M prices are on the Kubrick Blu-rays? They're not the same as online are they?

That's why I almost always order small titles online and use the B&M stores to buy bigger titles. Shelf space at stores is premium real estate and they don't stock small titles that a small number of people will want.

Have yet to FIND a Kubrick Blu Ray in a Target.

Got Meet The Robinsons at CC but they (as usual) didn't get a single copy of The Shining 25AE. They got ONE copy of it on BD but no standard dvd. Had to get it at Wal Mart for $15.96. I sure wish we had a Best Buy.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 10-23-2007

I did use the deal to get $5 off ANY Disney DVD tonight to make my purchase of Meet the Robinsons.

By pre-ordering Ratatouille (with a $5 downpayment), they took $5 off Meet the Robinsons. With their Disney sale this week the price went from $22.49 to $17.49. When I go purchase Ratatouille, I'll probably do the same pre-order deal on PotC III.

BTW, for those who followed the odyssey of doing this same deal a few weeks ago for The Jungle Book, they did NOT at that time charge the $5 downpayment for Ratatouille...but they did give the $5 off TJB.

This time, they charged the $5 downpayment for Ratatouille, but I had to point out that they neglected to deduct the $5 from MTR. The cashier did it gladly manually.

==============================

I also searched for A Christmas Carol but did not find it at Best Buy or FYE.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 10-23-2007

Hit Target on the way home from work...it is THE place to get the I Love Lucy Complete Series Set: Reg. price is $159.99, and at an unadvertised price of $139.99 until 10/29!!! They had the Standard versions of three Kubrick titles (2001, The Shining and Clockwork Orange) at $14.99 each. Hostel Part 2 (Blu-ray) was $29.99 and three of the UA Cinema Classics sets were at $29.99 also.

I am a bit dismayed that on a forum like HTF, members dismiss O Lucky Man! as a "...small title(s) that a small number of people will want." I know I am not alone in the high regard I hold for this classic film.

Review #1
Review #2
Review #3

As always, YMMV, but I took the plunge on Amazon and plan to revisit this wonderful, quirky film on DVD this Friday night.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 10-23-2007

Gary: I understand your frustration. I couldn't even find a copy of A Christmas Carol at Best Buy or FYE last night.

But, I don't think Travis was "dismissing" O Lucky Man! in any way. I think he's probably right to think of it as a catalog title which won't be racking up major sales for the studio.

You know the drill. If you're lucky enough to find a copy of a desired catalog title on release day at a B&M, you're going to have to reach over a stack of a title like Transformers to reach it. It's the reality of the situation.

No one here at the HTF would ever equate big sales to quality of production.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 10-23-2007

You are correct, Mike. And I certainly did not mean to take issue with Travis. I guess I overreacted a bit when I saw his post followed by Robert's post. Before I tracked back through the thread, I thought Robert was "thanking" Travis for his remark about O Lucky Man!, when in reality, he was referring to something different altogether.

No harm. No foul.

My apologies to Travis.

That said, I still find it frustrating that I now have to do all of my catalog title shopping online...

Cheers,

Amen, brother. We've all been there. I've got a catalog title winging its way to me from DVDPacific as we type...

Wish I had added A Christmas Carol (although Tino has posted finding five copies at his Best Buy).

It is unbelievable. And, it has just landed at my home!

Time to play!

But if you don't like Best Buy (or prefer not to pay sales tax) J&R.com is running the same deal minus the potential two extra movies.

king kong in box

2 more free in store



heroes first season

$179.99

http://www.thelookandsoundofperfect....ption_form.pdf

the 2 more free in store comes from page 20 in the add were it says, "get any 2 more free instantly, when you buy ANY hd dvd player."
this is confirmed as working now.

it was either a bad wording in the add or something else but this now works in the system at best buy.

i just went in today with receipt to get the 2 free hd dvds that was denied me sunday.

i called the 888bestbuy phone number before i went in and was told it is a real deal and he gave me a case number to give the manager just i case.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 10-23-2007

FYI and YMMV
My BB got in a bunch of The Hills Have Eyes (original) 2 Disc SE along with the single disc. It is in the system at 6.99, same as single disc. I picked it up today for that price. I thought the 2 disc was OOP but apparently not. Nice deals this week on AB horror discs.

What was it marked, David? It's not selling that cheaply anywhere. Mis-price? Did it just ring up that way? Was there a shelf tag?

Re: Weekly RoundUp 10-23-2007

I picked up "Fright Night" for 4.99 at CC last night, and it came with a free ticket to see "30 Days of Night" or $8.50 off of selected Sony DVDs.

Not too shabby.
