[Dabaomb]

thanks for the prices!

[tool_army]

The only thing that catches my eye is My Cousin Vinny for $7 at CC. I'll have to pick it up if it's anamorphic...

[TheKing]

$12.99 For The Jerk: Awesome

And My Cousin Vinny is Anamorphic.

[lumberjack]

I wonder which one this is. The David Lynch extended cut was rescheduled for July 26, but I was left to believe it was postponed indefinitely. I bet this is the Sci-Fi Channel version, two-disc or three-disc is anyone's guess.

[Mhepburn20]

Someone wanna explain why Target is charging MSRP for Mary Tyler Moore SHow season 2 AND ADVERTISING it. That just makes no sense and best buy's cheaper with reward zone program isn't making me sign up for the reward zone, but rather having me look elsewhere. Rant over.

Thanks for the ads though. I hope the extra bonus disc with battlestar makes this exclusive better but somehow I think I'll still just wait for the official sept. release.

[Nesbit]

Thanks - Three Kings for $7 sounds good.

a lot of stores advertise product at regular price just to let ppl know that it's available. Products that are advertised increase sales even if it's regular price.

[Corvin]

Thanks for the prices. Was hoping to get a deal on Errol Morris's work...and now I'm wondering if the B&Ms will even carry it.

[xmiyux]

I'm bummed 3rd Rock won't be on sale at CC. If only there was a BB vaguely near me.

[dmpre99]

sling balde for 10 bucks is pretty tempting

[chamfer]

I hope the extra bonus disc with battlestar makes this exclusive better but somehow I think I'll still just wait for the official sept. release.

According to bestbuy.com "The set also includes a bonus disc with a sneak peek at the upcoming Joss Whedon film, Serenity."

[Mhepburn20]

Bummer. And back to the MTM season 2 issue. The reason the MSRP is lower on this set is to sell more copies, but when season 1 came out and was on sale it was 33.99 at best buy. This is hardly going to move more copies. Thanks Target. :rolleyes:

[lwhy?]

Do you have to be a reward zone member to get the 2 dvds for $20 at Best Buy? I would like to pick up Sling Blade and Silence of the Lambs.

[RonMexico]

I wonder if that American Psycho is the new Ultimate Edition

[Shagrath]

Decent price on the Steamboy: DC at Best Buy.

[runner001]

Does anyone know if the first season release of BSG contains the "miniseries" episodes or not? oh, and are there any reports about what special features are on it?

[Heliosphann]

So it'll be barebones except for the bonus disc BB is throwing in, which probably is rubbish... Hold on for a few more months if you can.

[MovieExchange]

Nice RZ prices on the season sets at Best Buy. Of course the only reason I'm a RZ member is because when i was buying the X-Files sets at $49.99 each, it would have been stupid not to get the membership. I got my fee back plus about $30 with all the stuff I bought.

So I'll snap up Remington Steele at that price.

[sataniko]

Thanks for the early prices!

[ScottsDvds]

wow. thanks for the link to pilot's post. was there any more new information on the trading cards included? I'll definitely hold off until the official US release.

[Skull]

Thanks.

[mifuneral]

thanks for the prices!

as for what I'll buy...

Steamboy for sure, though I'm not sure if I'll bother with the giftset or just get the single disc.

Possibly 3rd Rock from the Sun. At $20 bucks, it's kinda tempting.

And I'll pick up Garden State and Shaun of the Dead with the 2 for 20 sale. I doubt those titles will go substantially lower than $10 each.

[QuikSilver]

Thanks for the prices. I might pick up some of those tv on dvd sets with those RZ prices.

[bigjim25]

I know they let you use your RewardZone card online but are RewardZone prices good online also?
I really want to get 3rd Rock from the Sun and Gilligan's Island for that price. I have the others.

[guessed]

You have the others? As in, the other sets that are $19.99 for RZ members? They don't get released until Tuesday, how did you manage to get them already?

[reverie]

Woohoo! Finally a week where there's nothing I want! (though that Serenity tease is very mean if it is indeed on the bonus disc!)

[jimbeam]

Yeah, I'm hoping for Costco.

[bigjim25]

I got Brady Bunch ordered and got Remington Steele & MTM yesterday from foxstore.com sale

[sanjoelo]

"The Jerk" is the 26th Anniversary Edition, I would assume. If so, that's a pretty solid price ($12.99 at CC). Thanks Big Worms and The Successful Dropout.

"I know we've only known each other 4 weeks and 3 days, but to me it seems like 9 weeks and 5 days."

[dollfins1]

wow thats some good rz prices on the tv sets. count me in for gilligans island, mtm and brady bunch! will also pm the cc price on the jerk.

[Buford T Pusser]

Thanks!

The Jerk may be on my list.

[madcougar]

Seriously, I wonder how much money this forum has saved me. I picked up a RZ membership for free thanks to a post on this very forum. Now I'm saving $ with these sale prices. This past week I loaded up on PS2 GH titles (2 for $22). Now season sets. What I'm saying is thanks to everyone who posts here.

Im sure stores advertise at MSRP once in a while, but if they were to only advertise at MSRP eventually Im sure they would go out of business as they are advertising that they aren't competitive.

[Mr. Cinema]

The "American Psycho" that is pictured in the Target ad is the rated version. But when I was there yesterday, all I could find was the new version, so hopefully that's the one that is really on sale.

[Noojimbo]

Thanks for the prices, but nothing for me this week

[Buford T Pusser]

There are a lot of dumb people that think if something is in a sale ad it must be on sale.

[Mhepburn20]

There are a lot of dumb people that think if something is in a sale ad it must be on sale.

That's extraordinarily close to a personal attack, even if you didn't single someone out, at least two us on here have posted that it doesn't make sense to advertise MSRP and then you post this.

[Buford T Pusser]

:confused:



Are you serious???? How? How was I calling you dumb? Did you think I was challenging your statement that advertising MSRP did not make sense?

You wrote:

Someone wanna explain why Target is charging MSRP for Mary Tyler Moore SHow season 2 AND ADVERTISING it. That just makes no sense

I then explained why it makes sense to the stores to sometimes do that.

Maybe you should read what I wrote again:

There are a lot of dumb people that think if something is in a sale ad it must be on sale.

That's my reasoning about why they put high prices in ads sometimes. How is it an attack on you? :hscratch:


Where does your statement say "it's in the sale ad so it's on sale and I'll buy it. Duuurrrrrrrrrrr"?




Mhepburn20-the first person to ever accuse me of being extraordinarily close to making a personal attack.

But it's cool because I still can say that no one has accused me of actually making a personal attack.

[Mhepburn20]

I appreciate the honor you have bestowed on me (I'm #1! I'm #1), I will however send you a quick e-mail to explain myself (so as to not clutter the thread, sorry folks). Perhaps I am just being overly sensitive.

[Shagrath]

All Buford was trying to say is that some people (the J6P's of the world) aren't as savvy as us about what the retail price actually is, or even when stuff comes out. So, when they see the ad, they think "Wow, I didn't know this was coming out! And it's on sale too!" So they go and pick it up.

[darkhawk]

Just The Jerk for me

[Buford T Pusser]

Just The Jerk for me

C'mon now darkhawk! That's a definite personal attack on Mhepburn20.

Damn. Why didn't I saw it that way? :p



An example would be my sister. She's very smart and makes around $300K per year. She probably has 500 DVDs, many of them TV box sets. I was telling her about DDD and she said she just gets everything at Target because it's on sale the first week. Oi.

I think she knows she could save some bucks but she doesn't want to bother looking around for deals. She would just prefer to grab it when she sees it on her weekly shopping trip to Target.

[Maxflier]

Didn't see it on the Target list,but i picked up Resident Evil:Apocalypse for $10 there yesterday.

[Sweet Baby James]

When you make $300K a year, you don't have to scour the ends of the Earth to save every last dime on a DVD. BTW, is she currently single?-wink-:)

[Shagrath]

But if she did look for bargains, then she'd save some money and be able to buy more stuff! I make a decent living, and I'm still doing 110% PM's at BestBuy every week to get my 10-20 cents extra. That shit adds up, and eventually I have saved enough to make another purchase.

[RonMexico]

I went to Target yesterday and picked up American Psycho. It was the unrated Killer collectors edition. 10 bucks

[Buford T Pusser]

Yep. That kind of money means why bother looking for bargains if you've got better things to do.

She's not single. Her husband makes the same as her as he's a VP of a large company and a workaholic.

[SteveA]

I had a "Best Buy" moment at Circuit City today. A sales clerk was nice enough to locate a copy of Enter the Dragon for me (it was hidden behind something else). The back of case wasn't clear to me, so I asked him if the DVD was anamorphic. "No," he said, "it's live action."

Gotta love 'em.

BTW, it is anamorphic.

[Maxflier]

Haha you got jipped.The live action one is sooooo much better.

[sanjoelo]

Haha you got jipped.The live action one is sooooo much better.

I dunno, man. They had some really talented animorphators working on that film. The quality of the animorphation is superb.

[eau]

Enter the Dragon is the 1-disc snapper version that's on sale instead of the SE, right?

[Trevor]

FWIW, I was at the fairly new Spy Museum in DC about a week ago (fun place btw), and was surprised to see that they already had the Remington Steele set out for sale (at full retail of course).

[packaok]

Heads-up for non-Best Buy Reward Zone members who want 3rd Rock From the Sun for $19.99... Because of the way that BB published the $19.99 price in their ad next to 3rd Rock, I was able to get Wal*Mart to price match it. It's easy for the Wal*Mart manager to miss the tiny "Reward Zone" disclaimer in the ad. Of course, YMMV...

[Liquid Death]

PM at Wal-Mart for $20 as well w/ BB ad - reg price was $24.xx, which beats BB anyway (if you're not RZ).

[SteveA]

Enter the Dragon is the 1-disc snapper version that's on sale instead of the SE, right?

It's the 25th anniversary edition, one-disc snapper, one side movie, the other special features.

[gbub]

sling balde for 10 bucks is pretty tempting

Although this sale's half over, I was annoyed yesterday to find you literally have to buy 2 to get them for $10 each. I thought typically they just ring up as $10 in these sales.

[Shagrath]

It says "2 for $20." Why would each ring up for $10 if you only bought one? Then it wouldn't be a 2 for 20 sale, it's be a 1 for 10 sale.. Seriously, they do these sales and they put in one or two good titles and a bunch of crap that they're trying to move, so that people think they're getting a good deal, when in actuallity, they're paying an extra 10 bucks to get a movie they don't really even want that much.

I know when Target advertises a 2 for X sale, they always sell 1 for 1/2 X, but I wouldn't necessarily expect all other retailers to follow suit. I can understand his being annoyed, as he stated, but no more. He didn't indicate that he was expecting 1 for $10, just that he would rather have had that. I am somewhat curious if there is a legal issue in this. I know that in Kroger (supermarket), if some grocery is 2 for X, they must sell 1 for 1/2 X (I don't know if it is the law, or just store policy), but if it is b1g1, then one would pay the same price for 1 of the items as one would pay for 2.

The BB ad says something like the 2 for $20 must be purchased together or otherwise the individual price is $14.99, so they do cover themselves legally.

[Legolas]

Full retail? The Spy Museum sells their DVDs for MORE than even Suncoast, Borders, Barnes & Noble, etc. do.

[Trevor]

It actually was $29.99 iirc. I was more curious as to how they had it an entire week before street date. But spies have ways to do things like that I guess....
