Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Not that I think there is a whole lot left, I want on HD-DVD, but which store is that, Mike?

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

The FYI near me, as of a couple of weeks ago, was having buy-2-get-1-free on all used discs.

Unfortunately, the used BD and HD-DVD discs were mostly $26 apiece!

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

X-gates, Ric. Scour around for any Sunday A-T-U. There is a coupon in the Sunday cartoon section (last page) for 40% off any used dvd (or CD) @ FYE. That's why I was there!

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Boy, not for me, Sam! We'll have to compare when we each get ours (and when we ordered them!)

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

If Sam is talking about Buy.com or Amazon...I get what I order in 2 days as well. They must have a warehouse in NJ, Pa., or NY.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

i get mixed results with the free shipping.

sometimes i get it the day before or the release day or withing 2 days after i order.

i ordered Legend sunday with free shipping at Amazon, so we'll see when i get it.

according to amazon, it has't been shipped or prepped for shipping yet.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

I ordered Saturday, 3-15 and it says to expect items to be shipped 3-24!

I have another order I'm waiting for that was ordered 3-9, shipped 3-13 and delivery is expected 3-24. If the 3-24 is true, that would be 15 days from the order date!

I'm not in any rush...or I would have paid the few extra bucks for speedier shipping. It's just taking a little longer than I would have expected, that's all.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

well i cancelled my order and re did it.

within hours it went to be processed and has now shipped, go figure.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Hmmm. I never thought of that.

I went to give it a try only to find out that mine shipped this morning. But get this...

The items that shipped today (3-19) are scheduled to be delivered 3-24...while the items which shipped 3-13 are also scheduled to be delivered 3-24. The first shipment looks like it originated in Phoenix, AZ.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

mine is also for 3/24, so i guess thats the standard time frame guess from orders the last week or so.

but,
"i get mixed results with the free shipping.

sometimes i get it........withing 2 days after i order."

or a week after.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Blu-ray "Blowout" at J&R.com.

Titles include Terminator 2 for $7.99, Reservoir Dogs for $10.99 and 3:10 to Yuma for $13.99. Many more.

Click HERE.

It's a "weekend" sale. So, presumably it ends Sunday.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Whoop! Whoop! And here I was getting ready to drop by Target to see if I can somehow get Yuma for $15 w/ their B1G1.

T2 for $8? Can I resist that one (w/ inevitable double-dip later)? Stargate, Total Recall, etc. too. I still need to watch my DVD of Crash (before considering the BD upgrade for $14 there).

Good to have J&R (and be able to just drop by the store).

_Man_

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Good one. Thakns for the link Mike. I ended up with a lighter wallet.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

FYI: J&R's shipping (USPS Parcel Post) appears to be $2.95 for the first title, and $1 for each additional title in the order.

Also, I urge folks to read some reviews of the Picture quality and Audio quality of some of these "cheaper" BD titles because you might be shocked at the reviews, and it may allow you the patience to use the money saved to wait for the eventual double BD dip.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

T2 is awfully tempting, but I can't help but think there is a better version around the corner.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

I would hope that they would re-release these titles with lossless audio. That is the only way I would buy these titles again.

At least the first Terminator was done with a pcm track. And while T2 has a very good DTS-ES lossy track. I see no reason why we can not get this title with a lossless track in the near future. I definantly will stick with my HD-DVD copy of T3 as the standard DD track will not be better than the DD+ track offered on the HD-DVD. Now once T3 is re-released with a lossless track then I will definantly buy it again. But until then there are other movies I would rather spend my money on since I have all the terminator movies on HDM.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Agreed, not to mention you can Ebay it and get your money back when the re-release comes out.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Jump on the 39.99 for both National Treasure BRDs while it lasts.

Amazon.com: National Treasure 1 & 2 [Blu-ray]: Nicolas Cage: Movies & TV

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Jumped. This is my first HDM purchase in quite a while. I'm glad the releases are starting to pick up again, but oh how I miss the halcyon days of the 2 for 1 sales plus the 10% discount.

BTW, are the new cases really that ugly?

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

got mine today.
3 days.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Not me. Although I got that other order which said to expect a 3-24 delivery. I actually got it a couple of days ago. Guess I'll get mine on 3-24! I hope.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

well i guess it isn't just Best Buy.

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

My local Hollywood Video had all HD-DVD's for 2 for $20. I was hoping I'd be buying some older titles but I bought 6 which were all from this decade.
Is Amazon still having their sale?

Re: Consolidated HD Bargain Thread!

Some Sony´s Blu-ray-titles here:
DVD - Sony Blu-ray Sale

Not a huge sale or anything, but still.
