Picked up a bunch of cheap dvds to trade in months ago. So I'm stocked and ready. I just hope they have a lot of the cheap Warner blus in store that are set for release tomorrow. Most of the SKU numbers on the titles I searched for indicated that they weren't being carried in store.

I'm not sure I'm really that excited this time. I spent way more than I wanted to during BF. Hopefully the steelbooks will be on sale for 9.99 so I can do a return/rebuy. Otherwise, this is bound to cost me a fortune!

Unless there's a ton of newer catalog titles available, I'll probably spend very little this round. I went nuts with the U&S a couple of years ago, and now I'm spending less and less each round. But I am glad Best Buy is sticking with these.

It'd be awesome if those WB three-packs were still 9.99 by then. Also, Jackson's King Kong and The Breakfast Club are each currently 9.99.

My Best Buy has rearranged the movie department since the last upgrade and save, and I haven't tried to browse/shop since. They'll probably get less of my money this time around b/c it's just not nearly as user friendly as a alphabetical blu-ray section.

What was sad about the last U&S for me is I did maybe 8-10 trade-ins and at least half of what I bought went on sale cheaper during BF week than what I paid after U&S. For instance, I got the $100 Bond set at Amazon so I ended up returning those 3 for $4.99 each and losing my trade-ins (plus time and gas). A couple other $4.99 U&S BDs I got were $3.99 on BF. So I wasted at least 5 of my trade-ins which cost me $1 each at Dollar Tree.
Of course with BF behind us such deals are less likely. I think the U&S before next BF I'm not going to buy much.

Stop going in my brain and posting my exact same thoughts. Thanks.

you can bet anything that's $9.99 now will be $14.99 in time for the sale...as has always been the observation prior to the beginning of every U&S

This. I was in there yesterday and noticed they mixed the BD's with DVD's and were in no type of order. Horrible.

Also, for those looking for cheapies to trade in and who have a Fry's nearby, through tomorrow they have a ton of DVDs on sale for a buck each. Stopped by and picked up 10 yesterday and am tempted to pick up more to use as a stockpile for future U&S's, as the Dollar Trees around here have stopped carrying DVDs.

I still have quite a few DVDs I can take in, so I should be good to go.
Just need to see what they have on sale during the U&S weeks. Love to be able to pick up Dark Knight Rises for $9.99.

I suspect I won't buy much this time around. But I said that last time too, and still bought 30 titles... Thankfully, yesterday I updated my phone app with all of my BD movie purchases for the last 4 months, as well as all of my HD-DVD's. So I won't be buying any duplicates this time (screwed up and bought a dupe last time). Now I just need to get my online list updated. I will work on that soon... Gotta add my TV seasons in, and then I'm ready to rock...

Those $1.98 DVDs that Amazon had for lightning deals (Bad Teacher, The Social Network, etc.) are going to be good for using for this. Particularly since the combination of free Prime Shipping and getting $1 video on demand credit for each one purchased really made them only cost me 98¢ each.

I have been unable to participate in the last few U&S because I have been out of work. But I just started a new job and will get my first paycheck Jan. 18. I don't see myself going all crazy, but it's probably a safe bet that I'll buy something depending on the prices.
