Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - Prices

[TheMovieman]

Per a suggestion on another thread, thought it'd be nice to put all the Harry Potter prices here (both the 1 and 2-disc editions). I decided to put on the one's I've found online even if they're more expensive than others. It's interesting to see the range.

Store - 1-Disc/2-Disc
Amazon - 15.96/21.99
Best Buy - 14.99/20.99 (2 for $20 when you buy any of the other HP movies, regular DVD only)
Buy.com** - 16.97/22.99
Circuit City - 13.99/22.99 (Free lithograph on regular DVD, though I assume you could get one for the SE)
CompUSA - 14.99/19.99
Costco.com - ??.??/20.99 (didn't find the 1-disc on the site)
DeepDiscountDVD** - 20.95/24.55
DVD Planet** - ??.??/21.67
Fry's* - 13.99/??.??
FYE - 12.99/15.99 (after MIR)
Overstock.com** - 15.79/21.88
Walmart.com - 15.87/21.87
Target - 15.99/22.99 (Exclusive 3-D cover on SE)
TowerRecords.com - 16.99/19.99

* According to fidodido, this price is based on the LA ad.
** I got these on DVD Price Search. I noticed that it had not updated Amazon's new price so some might be off...

Thanks to Speedy for the BB, Target and CC prices on the other threads :)

Update: I have added the exclusive deals...
Update #2: Amazon raised their price of the 2-disc to $20.99
Update #3: Amazon raised their AGAIN to $21.99. Also added CompUSA to the list.

[pinata242]

This is nice, thanks. I know CC and Target have "exclusives" like a lithograph or a 3D cover. It might help some to add those.

Me, I'm going for the 1D at CC. I just can't justify the jump in cost of the 2D.

[pizzamousechips]

Thanks much, these type of topics should be made more often. :) :up:

I think I'm gonna do my Amazon preorder now too.

[calhokie]

Good thread. I'm leaning strongly towards 1-disk at CC. I don't want to reward companies for charging extra for the 2-disk extras that used to be "free" (and I only have a lukewarm interest in anyhow).

So true. Unfortunately I tend to be an extras junkie and I'll typically pay a little extra, but $7 more for an extras disc is getting extreme.

Since I usually only watch them once, it seems like renting the extras disc might be the way to go. Interestingly, NF has the extras disc listed for both HP 4 and Narnia, but not for King Kong. I was considering passing on the latter 2 completely because of strong rumors of double dips planned for later this year.

First some brilliant marketing executive thought of the planned double-dip: "Hey, if we purposefully hold back some of our extra features on the first release and keep quiet about our second planned release, then we can sucker the big fans into buying this twice!" Now another marketing executive thought: "Hey, if we split off the extras we normally included into a separate release, we can then sell a barebones release for what we used to sell the special edition with the extras and we can charge a lot more for the release with the extras disc". [Disclaimer: Quotes were made up by me and are my opinions.]

Yes, I really LOVE those marketing executives. What will they come up with next to assault the wallets of movie fans? I'm not a big enough fan of extras to put up with all this. I'm holding off buying more and more releases lately.

[neocheddar02]

Thanks for starting this thread!

Anyone know of what the exclusives are? I know Target has an exclusive 3d cover.

[adinar]

As others have pointed out, you can get the 2-disc ed. for $15.99 after MIR, or the single-disc ed. for $12.99 after MIR at Fye.com.

[TheMovieman]

I've updated the original post with the exclusives and will add FYE's as well.

[Bobweiser]

Thanks OP for the thread. Helpful for Lady & the Tramp and I was wondering if someone was going to do it for this. Think I'm going with the 2-disc at BB because I've still got credit to burn there. Gotta have the 2-disc since the other three have been 2-discers. (Even though I am in total agreement with the people not wanting to reward WB for doing the 1-disc barebones, 2-disc loaded for extra $$$.)

Keep in mind for those doing the FYE thing that many stores don't honor those prices. They're higher and justify it because you have to pay shipping on the website. That is why FYE will no longer be getting my business, which is fine by me since I hate waiting for the rebates to show months later, if at all.

[cisman]

I know at Walmart they are giving out a Scene IT Game Harry Potter Dvd with purchases of the new one.

[Kuma-kun]

If you happen to live by a DVD Planet b&m (Huntington Beach or Rancho Cucamonga, CA) they're taking preorders on the 2-disc for $18.99 ($20.46 after CA sales tax). However, I'm not 100% sure that this is true for the Huntington store since I haven't been there, but it should be the same.

[pizzamousechips]

I know at Walmart they are giving out a Scene IT Game Harry Potter Dvd with purchases of the new one.

Can you elaborate? Are they giving out the actual Scene IT with the purchase of the GoB movie? That's incredible if it is.

[Kadee]

Can you elaborate? Are they giving out the actual Scene IT with the purchase of the GoB movie? That's incredible if it is.
From Walmart's website, they have an exclusive bonus disc:

Exclusive Includes Scene It Sampler Game And "Inside Look" DVD.

Also looks like it is packaged with the single disc and about $4.00 more than just the movie disc. Not too hot.

[Bobweiser]

Just got the CompUSA ad and they have the single disc for $14.99 and the 2-disc for $19.99. Think I'll be price matching!

[FantasticVSDoom]

Looks like Ill be doing either CC for the Litho or maybe FYE since they have a poster and a MIR...

[mclori]

Meijer has a $3 coupon that can be printed off and used if you buy the 2-disk version. You can get a box of microwave popcorn if you buy the 1-disk version.

Here is the link to the coupon: Meijer coupon link (http://www.meijer.com/harrypotter/goblet.asp)

[yashan]

The e-mail I got from Circuit City this morning (Subject: "Don't wait! Huge savings this week at Circuit City") is totally misleading. In the bottom, left corner, they show the 2-disc version and have $13.99 as the price. When you click the link, it tells you the 2-disc version is $22.99.

I wonder if I can print the e-mail and take it to a store for a PM?

Here's a link from the e-mail: Having trouble viewing this? (http://circuitcity.chtah.com/a/hBECqiZAImq$2AdAqn5AHnslb.AJQROcNr/view-?pwd=AImq$2AHnslbBECqiZ-w4p5iYl6INp&RAF_TRACK=hBECqiZAImq$2AdAqn5AHnslb.AJQROcNr&email=james@aol.comt&i_image=&i_link=)

[arod1171]

If you have Amazon Prime, check your Gold Box deals (upper right of screen). Today mine contained $1.00 off for 2-disc HPGOF. That plus the pi/2 off made it $18.66. Not bad with free 2-day shipping.

Gonna try, thanks for posting.

[Abob Teff]

Actually, the $7 difference is not coming from the studios. Warner Bros., who has become so fond of releasing 1 and 2 disc editions at the same time (Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Batman Begins, now Harry Potter) typically lists the MSRP as only a $2 difference; typically $29.9x for the one disc and $31.9x for the 2 disc.

[gotrice487]

Costco usually only brings in one version and that is normally the "superior" one...most likey no single disc release at Costco

[GuessWho]

Tough decision: get it for free at BB with some gift cards, or pay the dough at Target for the collectible cover. Hmmm...

[dough333]

As others have pointed out, you can get the 2-disc ed. for $15.99 after MIR, or the single-disc ed. for $12.99 after MIR at Fye.com.


Maybe it's just me but I can't tell from the descriptions on FYE which is disc is which on their site. I can see a difference in price but that's about it. Which is the 2 disc wide screen?

[silvernackle]

just noticed that bestbuy.com is advertising the hpgof 2-disc (eventhough the front cover is just for 1-disc) for the 2 for $20, $14.99 if only gof. i'll try to order it tomorrow online when pick up option becomes available. will probably have to tell them that what was advertised is the 2-disc. anyway, is the regular fs/ws edition just 1-disc? here's the link http://www.bestbuy.com/site//olspage.jsp?id=pcmcat83800050005&type=category

note the title: Harry Potter & Goblet Of Fire (2 Disc) - Widescreen Dubbed Subtitle AC3 - DVD

[dtcarson]

I think that's a typo--each of the three HP listings say "two disk" in the title, but only the expensive one has the details of the second disk in the item description.

This was pointed out in this thread:

http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread.php?t=457670

Best Buy mislabeled all of the Goblet of Fire discs as "2 Disc", probably because that's what they've all been in the past. I guarantee if you order it for in-store pickup, they'll grab the 1 disc version, because that'll be the SKU that's listed for the $14.99 price. Maybe some people will be able to fight with the manager and get the 2-disc version at that price, but it's a huge YMMV, and probably a huge pain in the ass as well.

As much as I'd like the 2-disc at $14.99 (which is what the previous HP films have cost), I'm not going to get into a huge argument over $5.00.

[silvernackle]

will they honor typo? if not then, i'll just go to target for the exclusive 3-d cover.

[TheMovieman]

Amazon raised their price for the 2-Disc SE to $20.99, hope you already pre-ordered yours...

[yourlocalcinema]

For what it's worth, there was a situation like this with the Mystic River 3 disc (at least I'm pretty sure it was Mystic River) and my roommate was able to argue and get it for in store pickup at he price of the bare bones because of a typo on the website. I'm sure it's still very YMMV, but it's not impossible for them to honor it.

[Anubis2005X]

If this is anything like the cover for Batman Begins, I'll be at Target on Tuesday. Damn you Warner Brothers!!!

[dtcarson]

Amazon raised their price for the 2-Disc SE to $20.99, hope you already pre-ordered yours...

Well damn. I didn't. And 20 bucks [without rebate] is the magic price point to me.
Looks like I'm waiting for the inevitable price drop. Not a huge deal, since we still haven't watched the third movie yet.

[N2DVD]

I use the reward bucks I just got and pick up the 2D set tomorrow...

[Snowmaker]

So, what are some Wal-Mart prices found so far for the 2-disk?

[GreenMonkey]

Best price on the overpriced 2-disc so far for midwesterners (unless you want to do the FYE rebate deal):

Meijer has it for $21.99. There's a $3 off coupon at Meijer.com.
http://www.meijer.com/harrypotter/goblet.asp

For those that have trouble printing the coupon without an edge being chopped off (like me), go to print preview and set the margins to 0".


$21.99 - $3 = $18.99. Almost reasonable.

[cardaway]

Just to confirm...

The 3D cover at Target in on the 2 disc versions?

Looks like it, since the tag at the top of the slipcover says Two-Disc Deluxe Edition. Now, the question is whether the cover is worth the extra few dollars?

EDIT: No, IMHO.

[mclori]

I picked up the 3d 2-disc at Target in Holland, MI. Unfortunately, they labeled each and every one with a pricing gun on the front cover. I got the label off after carefully peeling it, but they could have labeled it some other place rather than on the 3d cover.

Just got mine too. All the ones back in the DVD section were tagged too on the cover, but the bunch they had on an endcap by the registers had no price tags on them.

Took me a while to find a dentless, scuffless, crease-free one though.

Well, the cover does make the spine look more like the first two digi-paks.

[myopic_Raiderfan]

So would you say the cover is worth $2-3 extra?

[Snowmaker]

I'd say the better question is, are you hurting financially enough to where you need to worry about spending $2-3 more?

[tjn007]

The CompUSA deal must have gone under the radar but they have a pretty good deal for both the single ($14.99) and 2-disc version ($19.99)

[myopic_Raiderfan]

Don't shame me into spending money! lol I would say most of us pm and its not a matter of do we need to save a couple of bucks here or there although its finacially prudent, but more of an obsession that started when I got 3 dvds for $1 each shipped from 800.com back in the day.

Saying that I do prefer a nicer looking dvd IF its done well and not an obvious "book of the dead" type of release where I get the same content for triple the price.

[dvd182]

I apparently got the last 2-disc w/cover at my local Target, at least for now. It looks pretty cool.

C'mon! Everybody's doing it. :D

You could always just put the cover on ebay if you don't like it. I'm sure there are some who don't live near a Target that would love to have one.


And my Target had TONS of every version.

the Target cover is actually one of the better lenticulars. very detailed and truly 3-D.

[Damed]

Canadian prices 1D/2D

Futureshop $19.99/$29.99 (exclusive lenticular cover)
Walmart $24.86/27.83
Zellers $19.87/?? (store didn't have any 2 discs)

[scrapple]

$13.99 at walmart here in PA.

[SteveA]

I don't know if this is posted elsewhere, but CC also has a promotion on in which you can get the single-disc Harry Potter for free if you sign up for a Rewards card. (Actually you can get 13.99 off any movie, or presumably anything, if you sign up for a card.) Of course, you have to stand around for about a half hour until you get approved and they go through all the arcane machinations, so be forwarned.

During the interminable wait, I became friends with a woman who had just wanted to make a quick stop to get her daughter the movie, and with an older man who was purchasing the 2-disc set because he didn't want the theaters to tell him which scenes he could or couldn't watch.

[fujishig]

So, you guys getting together later for dinner or something? :hungry:

[pinata242]

I would love to hear more about this as well. I always end up taking a CC ad to BB anyway to use their RZ program. CC can't be any worse that that 3.33% crap.

Does it cost to join? What are the benefits? Is it only in select markets? PLEASE I NEED MORE INFO!

[SteveA]

CC has a rewards card now?
They do now. Chase bank. 5 points for every $1 of nonpromotional purchases, pretty high APR -- 23.49%. Don't know how many points it takes to get anything. I was thinking of just canceling.

Oh, so it is a credit card with rewards. Hmmm... That's much less enticing. Still, free Harry Potter is free Harry Potter.

[Sabrett]

Well, I'd like to thank the original poster that posted about bestbuy.com's price mistake ($14.99 for 2-disc, but pictured the 1-disc so everyone was saying it wouldn't work)...everyone was saying it wasn't a real "deal" and shouldn't have been posted.

Turns out...I printed out the mistake, brought it to my Circuit City...got the 2-disc Harry Potter for $14.99 with the awesome lithograph.

[ericn101]

I am very happy with the quality of the lithograph and the CC $13.99 price. CC has a better rewards program than best buy and its free. CC is always cheaper than BB too. I always laugh when I hear about all the crazy shit people do just to get a reward zone point. Freakin' halarious. Not sure why people still shop best buy, I know I only shop there when something is just too good to pass up, like the sienfelds for $12.50, but never ever new releases. All the pricematching and haggling for a reward zone point is ridiculous.

[dtcarson]

with-purchase Reward Zone > credit card with 29% interest and 'reward points' anyday.
especially when I haven't paid for the RZ in three years.

[pinata242]

As I pay for most things at BB with cash anyway, a CC CC ;) wouldn't be so bad. It'd just be something I have to mind every month. Depending on the benefit, it might pay off.

[yashan]

[Raffurar]

I have a clarification on one of the Best Buy deals. The 2 for $20 actually rings up as Harry Potter and the (insert your choice of first three films) at the sales price of $8.99, then the 1 disc Goblet of Fire has 4.99 taken off the sales price, putting it at $10 even. This brings the sale to an actual $18.98, slightly sweeter than the listed $20, for those who are pinching pennies, and (like me) just hadn't gotten around to picking up all of the other Potters.

[Cinemaddiction]

Well, I can easily say this is the best Harry Potter lenticular one there has been so far. ;)

I just got home after doing the same thing! Thanks a ton for the link man. Id rather pay $14 on the 2 Disc and save $8 than get some free junk.

Intersting enough, I tried CC first since I had a gift card and wanted to see if theyd match their email. But they said it could be fake or forged (accusing me?) but they gave to to me for $17. Interesting.....

BB did it no questions asked

No problem concerning the link. I'm glad someone else was able to benefit from it too.

I also went to CC first and they were actually sold out of the 2-disc version. When I talked to some guy about the price, he said they wouldn't pricematch the e-mail anyway because it was a mistake. I told him that it wasn't my fault the CC e-mail people don't know what they were doing, but he didn't care. Either way, there was no product for me to buy so I had no reason to continue arguing.

BB came thorough for me so I could care less now. :)

THere were actually tons of 2D and my CC but NO 1D WS. My uncle got the 1D and theres NO bonus features. So wow, does that suck!

I hope something like this similair happens with the King Kong and Narnia releases :D
