25% off TV DVDs at Tower
I got a mailing from Tower Records.
It included a DVD with the first episode of Entourage.
There were two coupons - one for 25% off the regular price of any TV show on DVD good only at the B&M and a second one for $5 off any TV show on DVD good only online.
Anyone else get this?
Tower is notoriously overpriced so I am wonder if it is even worth the drive to the local store to check for a good deal with the 25% off coupon.

25% off the regular (MSRP) price can be beat for virtually every title at one or more of our regular haunts (Deep Discount, DVD Empire, DVD Planet, etc.).

I used the $5 off online one to get the Family Guy Freakin Sweet DVD for 9.99. (but I had to add a CD too to get free shipping.) I suspect that the $5 off works on anything, even sale items.

Definitely a place to avoid. But when DVD was introduced, I went to Tower every Tues for the first year. No other B+M got new releases on schedule.

Wonder how they stay in business?One thing I like about them is that sometimes they have hard-to-find albums and DVD's. I generally buy online from them rather than in-store, unless "impulse" and online they tend to have coupons and some hard-to-find and stuff not in the stores.
IMO.

I concede the point on books, and to a lesser degree, the music, but where I am, at least for DVDs, the "sale" prices are usually the same as most B&M regular prices, even on Tuesday - they can't touch Fry's. The parking lot is usually about 1/3 full & that's again for the book store. The video store has a few folks who are there for the rentals, though they do carry some unusual titles ala Borders (albeit full retail).

Isn't it supposed to be like anytime now. Last years sales, if I remember correctly, were in June and November. So, the 20% off sale should be happening pretty soon, right?
