[Jah-Wren Ryel]

That's a lot of typing, thanks for the effort.

[digitalfreaknyc]

Kinda sucks since the Gladiator special edition isn't coming out until August :(

[Liquid Death]

Is this a DVD w/ coupons or just the coupons? If there is a DVD, what's on it?

[SFranke]

I wonder if Wal-Mart would accept the $10 off coupon for those Columbia sets.

[Legolas]

So there's a coupon for a DVD that doesn't even come out during the coupon dates? That's not right.

[digitalfreaknyc]

So there's a coupon for a DVD that doesn't even come out during the coupon dates? That's not right.

The original date was within the dates supplied. It's been pushed back. It'll be interesting to see what happens with people who hold it over until the actual release date.

[IDrinkMolson]

It is just a paper magazine (advertisement). Last time they had this, there weren't any coupons.

Of note: July 10 come in and get your free sneak preview DVD of Stealth. "It's free with the purchase of any music, movie, or game product."

strong agreement

[matome]

Yep, thanks for the listings.

[IDrinkMolson]

strong agreement


That's OK. I was at work, with nothing to do on a Saturday. -wink-

[Dabaomb]

That's a lot of typing, thanks for the effort.

:up:

[Buford T Pusser]

Well as long as you were getting paid to do it. :p

[IDrinkMolson]

Bump.

These coupons are live now if anyone's interested.

[Big Worms]

Will BB accept printed coupons?

[jiggawhat]

You can get this online.

[Buford T Pusser]

Thanks for the PDF. Doesn't look like there's anything I need that bad that I don't already have.

[eau]

Thanks for the PDF. I couldn't find the mag at my local BB.

[Sweet Baby James]

Thanks for the PDF. I couldn't find the mag at my local BB.
Ask a blueshirt for it. I couldn't find them myself, so I asked a clerk that was roaming around the DVD area. He had them in the stock room and a couple of minutes later, it was mine.:)

[digitalfreaknyc]

I got one today. Weird. The Gladiator pictured is just the regular edition that's out now. Is it possible they didn't have the artwork for the new edition yet?

[Manzana]

I was curious if the DVD Insider coupon for $10 off Monty Python and the Holy Grail (which lists SKU 4293687) was intended for the $14.99 Special Edition or the $41.99 Collector's Edition?

Somehow I'd guess the latter, but my store had the matching SKU on the $14.99 SEs making them $4.99. If the coupon is on the latter why would someone pay $31.99 at Best Buy vs. $19.88 at Walmart?

I asked if I could get the Collector's Edition for $19.88 (pricematch to Walmart and I had a receipt to prove it) and also use the $10 off coupon, and I was told no because the SKUs didn't match.

So I've got both editions now, 1 for $4.99 and 1 for $19.88, and I have to decide which to keep or if I should eBay one of them. As much of a fan as I am, I don't know if the script/book inside is worth about $15. Any opinions?

I'm a fan too, I bought the expensive one for 'completeness' sake.

Anybody try using the $10 off coupon at Walmart on Spiderman2 or other sets to bring it down to $9.88?

[D-Ball]

I was able to use the $10 off of 3 for Coyote Ugly, Gone in 60 Seconds, and Sling Blade. The total came to about $30. I thought there might be a problem since the coupons states that the discount is taken off the regular price.

Yep, I figured it would take it from the regular price which would make it $11.66. The only problem I had was with the Sin City coupon for Sling Blade, but the cashier just took $2.00 off the total.

It didn't take it off automatically?

I love how they always say that it's off the regular price of the movie. I always argue that the price it is this week is the "regular price" for this week. Their ads usually never say "sale" when they show prices. So I always argue that it's the regular price for this week. I've been pretty successful when I've had to use it.

[lotsofdvds]

The Spider-Man 2 CE was on sale for $19.99 (normally $37.99). Used the coupon for $10 off with no hassles. $10 for the CE, great deal! :up:

That's a steal! Did the register scan and take the $10 off automatically or the cashier have to do an overwrite?

[Jtnguyen12]

Also, Lord of the Ring Triology Box Set $37.99 - $10 off = $27.99 **Should I buy it or Get Lord of the Ring SE Triology Set** ??

[eau]

It depends on whether you want the theatrical cut or the extended cut of the films. I believe most people would prefer the extended cut. It has 4 discs per film - DTS ES 6.1/DD EX 6.1, and tons of extras.

[lotsofdvds]

The register took $3 off, since that was another deal on the same coupon. A manager came over and I thought I was doomed, but he glanced at it and then corrected it with the correct coupon amount.

Just walked out of BB with Spiderman 2 Gift Set for $10 and MP Holy Grail 2 disc SE for $5. I'm a happy camper. Seemed like the Spiderman 2 coupon worked fine, but they had to do some adjustments to give me Holy Grail for $5. Had to have 2 coupons and do 2 seperate purchases as well. YMMV, but as an earlier post said, the SKU# for Holy Grail is the $14.99 one.

Thanks for bringing this great deal to my attention!

[yeldarb367]

I was able to get the Holy Grail CE for 9.99. The item numer on the coupon is for the 14.99 one but the picture shows the 42.99 one (on sale this week for 19.99). The manager came over and did an override since they have to honor what is pictured in the ad. Good luck to everyone else.

I also had the same experience. The cashier noticed the problem with the SKU, but I showed her the picture in the ad booklet showing the CE. She called a manager over who processed the coupon. The cashier then apologized to me for the two minute "inconvenience." No problem!

The coupon is actually supposed to be for the more expensive one, the product number is a misprint. When used with the $14.99 set, it only took off $3 (although I was able to get them to adjust it based on the number. This was last week, before the expensive one went on sale. I picked the expensive one up today).

Also, the Labyrinth set rang up at full ($40-something) price today, but I pointed out the sale and they adjusted it (then I used the $10 coupon). Sweet deals.

Edit: Misspelled Labyrinth.

what sale on Labyrinth? I did not see it in the sunday ad?

[Buford T Pusser]

What's the SE of the Holy Grail got that the other doesn't? Was it a book?

[Snowmaker]

$10 off any 1 of the following DVD’s:
Monty Python & the Holy Grail

Will that work on either version?

[Big Worms]

what sale on Labyrinth? I did not see it in the sunday ad?
Yeah. It is 44.99 on their web site. So what sale?

[guessed]

Yeah. It is 44.99 on their web site. So what sale?

It is on a display at the front of the store (at least at the BB I went to) with the other collector's editions (Holy Grail, Dark Crystal IIRC, I don't recall what else) that are on sale, and the printed (professionally manufactured display, not just a printout, so I assume it is not YMMV) material states that they are each $24.99 (although, Holy Grail is actually $19.99 this week). I don't know for sure if this is one week only, or what, I'm sorry I don't have more information.

Ok, I just checked the CAG DVD forum and found the rest of the info, courtesy of sman113 and others. $24.99 each unless otherwise stated:

Monthy Python & the Holy Grail CE ($19.99), The Dark Crystal CE, Labyrinth CE, Black Hawk Down (3 disc version) and Spider-Man 2 Collector's Gift Set ($19.99). The coupon in the back of the DVD Insider takes $10 off each of the given prices.

[Snowmaker]

What's the SE of the Holy Grail got that the other doesn't? Was it a book?

You mean the CE.
And its got a script, a film cell and a pain-in-the-ass case.

[Snowmaker]

I was able to get the Holy Grail CE for 9.99. The item numer on the coupon is for the 14.99 one but the picture shows the 42.99 one (on sale this week for 19.99). The manager came over and did an override since they have to honor what is pictured in the ad. Good luck to everyone else.

Now I tried to go the other way with it, but they wouldn't sell me the SE for $4.99, so I just bought the CE.

I thought for sure I was going to break disk 2 trying to get it off the hub. And then I finally got it off and its all scratched up. :mad:

[TheNightFlier]

Just got back from picking up the Spiderman and Monty Python sets. Like others have said they had to be rung up separate. The manager did the override and both coupons worked fine. The cashier apologized for the holdup and I went on my way. Gettin both of these for $20 is some deal.

[whotony]

ok i had the unusual occurance the other day at best buy.
i was at cust service to price match
star trek:ins but i didnt have the ad,
so she calls CC.

she tells me they told her it was 14.99.
ok i'm not gonna get that right now.

so i just handed her slingblade,
father of the bride and stripes.
i also hand her one the the coupons
for buy 2 or 3 get $5 or $10 off.

she looks at it like i handed her a $2 bill.

then instead of looking at the back
were it has a scanable bar code she
just price adjusts it to take $10 off the total
since i had 3 dvd's.
problem is stripes isnt part of the promotion.
oh well.

so all three of those for about $28 minus the $10 in RZ certs.
$18 for those three.
was going past CC so i ran in, got the ad,
and on the way home went back in BB and
bought star trek then went to
cs and price matched so i got that for 12.79.
so all 4, for about $33.

[Buford T Pusser]

You mean the CE.
And its got a script, a film cell and a pain-in-the-ass case.

Yep CE.

Are the DVDs the same?

[Buford T Pusser]

BTW, I stopped by tonight and the cashier rang up the CE of Monty Python. It was $19.99 as I expected. She tried to apply the coupon and it didn't work. She asked a manager in the office and came back and said it must be for the other edition. The guy brought one up and it rang at $14.99. The coupon took $3 off. I said that can't be right. The coupon shows $10 off and the picture of the other one.

She goes back into the office. Then she says you can have either one for $10 off. One for $10 or one for $5. I took the CE.


Question: is $19.99 a sale price for just this week? If it's a sale price the coupon says the $10 is off the regular price so I figured that must be the regular price or they would have said something.

[Buford T Pusser]

Just checked their site and they show $19.99 is the regular price. I'm thinking they put the wrong SKU on the coupon and really did want to sell it for $9.99.

[IDrinkMolson]

Will that work on either version?

Well, the SKU is 4293687. Which is the non-CEedition even though according to the coupon it says see page 9, which shows the CE.

4293687 (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=4293687&type=product&id=23328)

Collector's Edition (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=5809903&type=product&id=23328)

But, as you can see, people are able to get the Collector's edition. Now, I'm going to have to get it!

[IDrinkMolson]

she looks at it like i handed her a $2 bill.

rotfl

You must have been lucky to get out alive.

[Snowmaker]

Yep CE.

Are the DVDs the same?

Identical!

[hellmutt]

I had a similar experience this evening buying SpiderMan 2. I took it up to the counter with my $10 off coupon, and it rang up for $19.99 - $3. I said, that can't be right, that should be $10 off. She said, 'Oh, it must be on sale today'. She pulled out this weeks flyer and (fortunately for me) couldn't find a special listing for Spiderman 2 CE on sale. She gives me a couple more confused looks, and then just does a price adjustment for me.

People who are thinking about doing this, I suggest you head in soon as I'm not sure how much longer it will last...

$10.83 out the door for Spiderman 2 CE! Sweet!

PS Since Walmart sells these same 5 titles for right now at $20, perhaps it is just a permanent price reduction?? Just not sure, the one I found at Best Buy was still marked $37.99.

[Buford T Pusser]

The Monty Python Collector's Edition was still marked $42.99. I just figured it's part of their suckiness at marking titles down.

[StrTrkker]

So how does the Spiderman CE look like? Is it a boxed set?

[msdmoney]

Just picked up the Spider-Man 2 boxed set for $10 + tax. There was some confusion at the register. The dvd rang up for $19.99 but when she scanned the coupon, it only gave the $3 off. I discussed it with the cashier for a minute, I think the coupon only say's collector's edition, while the actual box says collector's gift set, so she thought it was a different item. A manager came over and was saying the same thing, then she said to look at the SKU. Apparently they verified it was the same, even though everyone else here has been saying it doesn't match. I kept trying to show them page 9 which the coupon refers to and has a picture of all the dvd's the coupon refers to, but they weren't listening. Oh well it all worked out. Thanks, great deal.

I am going to try and pick up another magazine for the other DVD's, Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, Black Hawk Down, if they are all on sale. I bought Dark Crystal and Labyrinth a couple weeks ago at Walmart, but I don't think I opened them and I saved there reciept so I can return them.

Also StrTrkker it looks like the collector's edition for Spiderman 1, sort of. Pretty nice outer case bigger than a normal dvd.
