Speedy's BB and CC threads for the week with the original lists:

People have already mentioned those titles in the relevant threads... at least twice in the CC thread.

True, and I did notice that, but I'm intending to catch the attention of those who feel they're now 'done' with said threads.

And actually The Prophecy was not mentioned.
I saw Prophecy in the CC thread, but I believe that refers to Frankenheimer's film, not the one I'm referring to.

[Pizza]

I appreciate the heads up. I always read Speedy's posts but rarely check back. I would have missed this. I'll be at BB for Imprint tomorrow! Thanks fangsfirst.

Cheers--I do the same, hence my thought to post this.

Also, I'll mention that, as excom said--
Tony Dvdfan lists the 'extra' CC titles (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showpost.php?p=7381133&postcount=43)
And a nod to MrStayPuft, who also noticed the extra MoH titles at Best Buy (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showpost.php?p=7382633&postcount=80).

Cheers--I do the same, hence my thought to post this.

Things will get messy really fast if people make their own posts instead of adding to Speedy's. If people don't want to keep up to date with Speedy's posts, to bad for them. The point of these "one and only one" places of info is so that people only have to go one place for info.

[bigt7117]

Does anybody know if there are any other Masters of Horror dvds on sale? Mine only had the 2 advertise and 2 mentioned. They didn't have any others in stock.

Thanks

I disagree. These films are "unadvertised". The thread are about the "advertised" sale each week. I would have missed these without this thread. This is not in the ad and therefore needs its own thread. I go to the sale ad thread - look at the ad and then move on - and I bet I am not the only one doing that. I was not interested in the ad at all - this I am. This is a good enough sale to stand on its own anyways. People are always so busy bitching about extra threads, but what does it really hurt. The useless ones disappear fast and the important ones stay up top.

[Xbox69]

How about a DATE in the thread title so we know which of Speedy's ads you are referring to.

[MickeyMousePal]

The Grudge was also $6.99 at Best Buy and also Jeepers Creepers...

That's ridiculous. Although Speedy posts the circulars he does not label his postings as "advertised" specials only and he has always updated his posting with items that people find in the store that are not part of the published circulars.

And if people look at the ad and then move on, just as they may look at the first posting in any bargain and ignore all of its replies, then they deserve to miss out. The whole point of this forum is to group like-minded bargains together. That's why unadvertised bargains belong in a topic clearly f***ing labeled "Best Buy Prices: October 22 - October 28, 2006" just as well as advertised ones do. And I don't feel like having to read a handful of different Best Buy topics just to find out what their prices are this week because some people are to lazy to read through the whole current Best Buy topic.

Well, by your mentality all the DDD threads about different bargains should be one thread, ditto for amazon, etc. By that mentality we could get this forum down to a dozen or so threads, of course no one would know about half the bargains because the threads would all be extremly long and information would get lost in those threads.

[gorgo99]

Thanks so much for posting this, I definitely will get Imprint and Cemetary Man... hadn't seen the other posts. Piss on the complainers. : )

I respectfully disagree. That would mean that I would have to wade through 4-5 pages of people saying "I'm getting this and that" or "Nothing for me this week" in order to catch a single thread about additional titles for sale. I'd much rather read the first thread of 2 seperate postings to get all the titles. Much easier than a "treasure hunt".

Just my $.02

[cardaway]

As long as the first post in the original thread is edited (updated) then I'm for adding the titles to the other thread. I'm totally against adding titles as the thread goes along. Shouldn't have to wade through posts like the ones in this thread to see what is on sale.

[FangsFirst]

If we could get the thread titles changed as well, to note their updated status, which, if I've been editing posts correctly, a normal user cannot do, then I'd be all for that as well. Though there, well, unless someone is updating them for speedy, or he's willing to add that much more work of his own accord, well, I dunno how reasonable it is.

Regardless, I know I read speedy's threads as they come out and recheck *his* posts occasionally if I forget what titles I was going to get, or what sale is when, etc. But I, too, do not like to look through 'Oh boy, ___ is on sale' and so on, on the off chance that someone might post some new information. Not to say I take issue with such things, but rather, it's not convenient to have new information buried in the middle of them. Especially once they start reaching 4+ pages.
It seems that it should all be starting from a root of information with all responses being related to detailing things--is this 'the version to get', or 'is there a box set of that series?' or what have you--something you could CTRL-F your way through the thread for. IE, a title already listed. If it isn't listed, you would be forced to at least skim every single post, which doesn't seem too helpful.

But certainly this would work with cardaway's idea, but that's just sort of dumping extra "responsibility" on speedy, which hardly seems fair.

How about a DATE in the thread title so we know which of Speedy's ads you are referring to.
Point taken--though I figured people would just assume it meant currently...

[Peep]

Uh, no.

That would only be my mentality if there were "one and only" topics, constantly updated, for each of those vendors - which there aren't. Speedy does a great job posting the advertised special for three vendors, and always folds unadvertised bargains into his main topics when they are pointed out to him. Why do we need a "bargains not in Speedy's list" when he is so quick to add them to his own when told of them? I'm really surprised why so many people are backing what seems to me to be a really bad idea.

By you're reason, why not have a separate topic for every friggin title ever put on sale at Best Buy because some people are to lazy to read a simple comprehensive list or re-read once they've done so once. Fuck, why have all of that info in one place, so people can easily check it before they drive to Best Buy, when people can try and track down every Best Buy topic in the whole forum, searching for every possible mention of a movie?

[jeffrey r]

I think everyone can take a deep breath, and move past this argument. I think Fangs was reasonable enough in posting this thread, as something of interest to many people may have seemed 'lost' in Speedy's thread.

I think Peep was reasonable enough in questioning the validity of an extra thread on certain items taken from the store-specific weekly threads. And if this happened every week, for every store, for every item of interest, then sure, it would get cumbersome.

But in the end, this may be the only time it happens. Or it may happen again from time to time. But really, it's not the biggest deal in the world.

[EvlAsh]

You can add "Halloween II" and "Dawn of the Dead (2004): Unrated Director's Cut" to the BB $6.99 list.

[TimeandTide]

Thanks to Fangs for the heads-up on the titles not mentioned in Speedy's ad. I found it useful and far more convenient than a potential wade through 5 pages of "I picked up..." and "Any laptop deals, Speedy?" posts.

Cannot believe anyone would take the time to knock a thread that the OP created solely as a service/heads-up to visitors of the forum.

[cardaway]

But in the end, this may be the only time it happens. Or it may happen again from time to time. But really, it's not the biggest deal in the world.

There is almost always more titles in Best Buy multiple X.99 or X for X sales.

Which is why I'm always in favor of only one thread for any one store for any one week.

[Rogue588]

I agree with TimeandTide. Thanks for the heads-up FF. :up:

I also agree with this
Speedy does a great job posting the advertised special for three vendors, and always folds unadvertised bargains into his main topics when they are pointed out to him.However, since i'm in the camp that doesn't like wading through frivolous comments (and I would say close to 3/4 of the posts after Speedy's first post are), it's presumptuous to assume that Speedy is trolling his threads 24/7 for any sign of relevant information that belongs in his initial post. Also, it's not like FF took information from Speedy's circular thread and reposted it here. These are things that are NOT in the circular.

[Peep]

Oh well, I guess I'm in the minority. Thanks for the effort, FangsFirst, post wherever you want.

[king slug]

some people are to lazy to read through the whole current Best Buy topic.


Count me in on being a "lazy" person. This is the internet, we need the information asap, not needing to scan through 4 or 5 pages of stuff.

But also thumbs up to speedy, I always enjoy is time and effort putting up those ads weeks in advance.

[MickeyMousePal]

Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2 are $6.99 at Best Buy also.

[Trevor]

Another vote here for this thread.

While I agree that it would be unweildly to have a separate thread for every title at every store each week, it is also unrealistic to expect us to read thru every post of long threads.

A separate thread for unique deals at each store each week is totally ok in my book.

[Johnny Zhivago]

I read the weekly BB thread several days ago but this is the thread that got me into BB last night. Cemetary Man wasn't listed in the weekly thread when I read it so when I saw it in this thread I made for the door. Thanks for posting this.

[John Galt]

Just wanted to add that I picked up Evil Dead, Evil Dead II and Halloween for 4.99 each at Circuit City.

[sb5]

Same here.

[IDrinkMolson]

Might need to add Target to the title too. Just got back from there. They had a whole section on the DVD wall of $10 dvd's. There was a sign above them that said $10 DVD's. But all them had shelf tags higher than $10. I scanned them first on a Price Checker and the ones I wanted all came up $10.
I picked up:
Blade Runner (Director's Cut)
Transamerica (Lenticular cover)
The Patriot (extended cut)
Romancing the Stone
Chappelle's Show: The Lost Episodes

Also
Halloween H20 - $7.50 (Temporary Price Cut, I think)

I tried taking a picture on my cell, but it's crappy and I can't make them out, but some other's on the $10 wall:
Doogal
Sideways (FS & WS)
History of Violence
Kung Fu Hustle

I thought the Evil Deads were 6.99?

[Trevor]

I thought the Evil Deads were 6.99?

Maybe 6.99 at BB and 4.99 at CC? This thread is about prices at 2 different stores.

I had bought the Halloween retrospective at BB for 6.99, but then found it at CC last night for 4.99.

I guess I could save another 20 cents and do the price match deal.....

Picked up Halloween II for $4.99 at Circuit City this afternoon.

some of those probably differ from one location to another... because yesterday i checked and Masters of Horror: Imprint was still 14 bucks. maybe it rings up differently on the register though, i oughtta look into that.

Don't pay any attention to the sticker price... The Hills Have Eyes 2 Disc was stickered at $26.99 here (full MSRP on release date, sheesh) and it rang up $6.99. If you spot a title that you want then you had better snag it before someone else gets to it.

Circuit City or Best Buy?

[FangsFirst]

should be Best Buy.

It's even funnier that it's stickered 26.99, because that isn't the MSRP anymore even.
it's down to 19.99 officially, to the best of my knowledge

[EvlAsh]

Thanks.

[Johnny Zhivago]

Yup, Best Buy... And yup, it's $19.99 now...

Sorry guys, should have clarified that these were at CC.

[maxfisher]

I stopped by my Circuit City last night and they had all of the Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street movies in the $4.99 display, not just the ones listed. I suppose it might be YMMV, but I picked up Friday the 13th 6 & 7 and both automatically rang up as $4.99 in their system.

[jimbo504]

I can confirm Evil Dead and Evil Dead II for $4.99 at Circuit City, just picked up copies myself.
