Casino Royale?

[Kube]

Where are you buying it?

Some people have speculated that in stores will be available for under $15.

Anyone know.

[speedyray]

I will buy it in stores if the BD is only $15. Otherwise I will probably just get it from amazon.com.

Well I'm working on the Best Buy ad now and it will be $15.99 with a die cast Aston Martin car.


Circuit City has it for $13.99 with a collectible coin.

And Target has it for $22.99 with a Bonus Making Of DVD. $15.99 only gets you the 2 DVD set that everyone'll have.


For Me, I think I'll try Circuit City.

I already pre-ordered from amazon for $15.99 shipped free w/prime. Best price i could have gotten it for would be $15 from CC (TAX) plus gas/time. None of the bonuses are that appealing to me. Too bad they didn't do a steelcase.

The Best Buy ad has yet to be posted. I have a feeling they'll have something of this nature.

Well, Speedy1961 posts all the ads and he said that he's working on the Best Buy ad and that it doesn't. :)

Speedy, any decent sales on the Blu-Ray version of "Casino Royale"?

[TheMovieman]

I'm going to BB (PM to CC $13.99 tag).

[scott1598]

And Target has it for $15.99 with a Bonus Making Of DVD.
speedy,
didn't you say in the Target thread that with bonus is $22.99?

[TheJoker]

BestBuy is supposedly coming with a Corgi car of the new Aston Martin with purchase. You can view it on the BestBuy site but they havent put it up for sale yet.

So, ill PM the CC flyer at BB and get that free car......

[g]

Will they pricematch when they have an exclusive like a car? Or Can they say since the car is included they wont?

[speedy1961]

They may or may not allow this.


Sensibility should allow for this but corporate policy will probably prohibit this transaction in many instances. Be advised.

My bad!!!



Deluxe Edition is with bonus:

No sales... Only BB lists it at $29.99

Circuit City mentions it.

Best Buy going up shortly for those reading / waiting in the lobby.

[Jim]

I'm surprised nobody ran a special where you get Casino Royale BD for free if you buy a PS3. That could be just the push a lot of people needed to get one.

[tonymontana313]

Jeez, what's up with Target wanting to charge almost 10 bucks for their bonus disc?

[Peep]

No sales... Only BB lists it at $29.99

Sad news, but thanks.

[DonTHX1378]

I want to know whats on the 3nd bonus disc before I spend the money at Target. I bet it's just some HBO 30 minute making of special thats not going to be worth the $22.99. Also to note is that Walmart's bonus is going to be a collectible Casino Royale poker gift set with the dvd. The set has 2 decks of exclusive Casino Royale printed cards, and 2 sets of Casino Royale printed poker chips.

[DJariya]

I too will wait to see what's on that Target bonus disc. I got burned by Target on that 22.99 2-disc Saw III set when the bonus disc only contained 12 minutes of material. If that bonus disc only contains the HBO 15 minute making of doc or some more fluff EPK material, I think I will pass on it and just get the 2-disc set.

[brianluvdvd]

I prefer my total price of $11.89 from fye.com. Sure I have to wait a few weeks for the $7 rebate but I have never had problems with them before. The bonus stuff from various stores is pretty weak and this price was too good to pass up.

I hear that, ill be waiting right there with you.

[tbwmp88]

Anyone know of non region 1 exclusives or special packaging besides the HMV and R4?

[michaema]

Looks like FYE is canceling all preorders for casino royale purchased through their old system and offering a 15% off coupon for compensation good only towards the preorder of casino royale,which adds several dollars to the price as shipping is not free... :(

Just got that email myself. I was wondering what had happened to my order. Shipping plus tax kinda kills this deal. :grunt:

I think I'll pick it up with some GCs at BB for $15.99 plus free Astin Martin car instead of waiting for the rebate that may or may not come.

[kenbenobi]

Too bad it isnt 15% off the entire order... Shipping would be free if you got over the $25 mark... Lots of good titles for 12.99 AR. But you'd be better off with the WELCOMECCTEN coupon which gives 10% off the whole order...

I was thinking the same thing

You could always price match CC $13.99 price and then still get the free car....if your lucky...

They usually dont match on prices with *special offers* ie free coin, free car with purchase. However you are right, you might get lucky and price matched without a second thought. :) I will probably try it out...

[MonsterMan]

Anyone know the exact contents of Target's bonus disc? Is it worth an additional $7?

Are you certain about the chips? I looked at the image they show on their website, and it appeared to me to include 2 decks of cards and a collectible chip. Not a set of chips (or 2 sets as you say) but a single chip.

[animatedude]

what do you expect man? 99% of bonus discs are fluffy promo rubbish.

[bluetoast]

Yeah I believe it's just a single chip.

As for the Target disc, I agree, I doubt it's worth an extra $7. I'll probably go for PM'ing the CC price at BB and hope I get the car as well.

[JediJones]

I just went to Target and their exclusive doesn't say anything about a bonus DVD on it, even though their ad says it. Look closely at the picture in the ad and the package says it includes a bonus Bond book, which is exactly what they had on their shelves. The book looked like it was about the making of the movie. Anyone buy this and see if there is a bonus DVD included in there along with the book? The price is still $22.99.

[Wildo1966]

No bonus disk at Target, just some lame book. For the extra money I bought the Walmart exclusive, Target can keep their over-priced set....

[horroru]

The description at the WalMart site says "chips" http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=cZdGXyuEAtc&type=2&subid=0&offerid=64951.5634771&sourceid=32706009850126250234

I'll confirm soon.

[michaema]

I just received an email from bestbuy offering an additional 10% on orders placed through bestbuy.com with select merchandise excluded. I used it to order casino royale 15.99 + goldfinger for 6.99(3.00 discount w/ purchase of Casino Royale) + 0.00 exclusive car = 22.39 after tax and discount all for pickup. If this promotion is applicable you should see the discount automatically on checkout. Not a bad deal as i still get the car and its close enough to CC price :D

[DonTHX1378]

Brother just called from Target. It's a book and not an extra DVD, which when he asked one of the people whom works there told him is going to piss people off since the ad states that it's an extra DVD if you get the $22 set. He's headed over to Best Buy in a bit to see if they will price match to CC and give him the toy car also. And has anyone got the Walmart extra set? Was it two sets of chips or just one chip? The ad I saw in the store I swear looks like two decks of cards, two sets of chips, and a cardboard case for them.

[JustinCleveland]

I'll confirm soon.

But the picture of the box says only "Chip."

[horroru]

Just got back from WalMart, and set comes with 2 decks of cards and just one chip, so the box is correct (but the description on their website is wrong).

The cards are nice though, and the chip is a cool novelty item. The chips vary from set to set, as I got an orange $100.00 chip while my friend got a green $25.00 chip.

Also what made me happy (being the obsessive DVD collector that I am) is that the Bond DVD set inside the box came in the slipcover, which I thought might be missing in the set. Glad it wasn't!

[kenbenobi]

Guess what, folks? CC is NOT 13.99. It is 16.99. The ad is misleading. The $13.99 price is for something else. It rang up 16.99, and the clerk said that is correct... BTW, the coin comes in a sealed sleeve. I think they were supposed to scan it so it appears on the receipt. But they did not, so in a few weeks I'm taking the DVD back and keeping the coin...

[DonTHX1378]

Brother just got out of Best Buy. They price matched and gave him the free car. Good to know about the Walmart set.

I guess the 13.99 price is if you order online, and looks like they will not allow instore pickup on it.

[justbarelymovin]

Wow... I'm glad you told me that. I would've been really upset if I had driven out there and it would have been $16.99. I, too, looked at the site this morning, and since it has it for $13.99, I figured it would be the same in store. I tried to do pick-up, but yeah, it wouldn't let me. Lame. That stinks.

[JediJones]

My CC in southeastern PA had a sign on the CR display saying $13.99 and that's what I was charged, no need for me to ask. I guess they could've adjusted the price themselves without telling me.

[Father Karras]

I pricematched at Best Buy with the Circuit City ad. I paid $13.99 and got the free toy car with no problem. I was a little surprised because CC was technically "low price" on CR and I thought Best Buy wouldn't pricematch in that case (especially when there are exclusives involved)...guess I was wrong.

[DVDMovieMan]

I went for a DVD road run today (weather is just TOO nice in Northern IL) and picked up the DVD with bonus coin at CC for $13.99 + tax. Big sign on the display. No problem at all.

Methinks the $16.99 person got "Royaley" screwed.

[justbarelymovin]

Well, good. Because that's what I'm really hoping for! :) I need to go out that way, anyway, so it's not a big deal.

[cdollaz]

$13.99 at my CC also.

Same here, I thought they would point out the "low price" marker. Good thing it worked out.

[Wildo1966]

OMG variations of the poker chip in the Walmart set??? How will the ultimate collector get them all????

[Decker]

Price matched Fry's $13.88 price and got the free car at Best Buy. Nice deal.

Is the Bond Girls featurette the same as the one that Best Buy gave out with Die Another Day? Because if it is, I'll just box up that DVD and put CR in that slot in my DVD case. DVD space is at a premium (and I can't afford to replace all my old Bond DVDs with the new sets, unfortunately).

[horroru]

Or you could just get them from the manufacturer:
http://www.cartamundi.com/Content/com/products/retail/licensing/adult/jamesbond/casinoroyalerange/1/index.html

The cards and chip in the WalMart set are cartamundi, so they are reproductions of the cards (and chip) used in the movie which is cool.

Just tried this with the Blu-ray... unfortunately, the Blu-ray edition is not applicable for the free car promotion. Is it this way in-store too?

[dvd182]

I got the free car in-store. The large display housing the sd-dvd's of this says you can get the car with a purchase of the dvd, blu-ray, or umd.

[michaema]

The online promotion only allows the dvd version which truly sucks. You should be able to purchase the car separately and get a price adjustment at pickup to make it free. That way you get your 10% extra and the car. I believe their policy is if theres a better price in store or online at pickup you will get the better deal. Let us know if it works out for you.

[Jim]

Pricematched the frys.com price at CC and got the Blu-Ray version of Casino Royale for $22.29+tax. I didn't even ask for the 10% of the difference reduction because I didn't want to push it. Plus the guy voluntarily gave me the coin they were giving out.

[BlackMontels]

Is the Bond Girls featurette the same as the one that Best Buy gave out with Die Another Day?

I believe it is, but it does have about 5 mins of stuff with Eva Green and Caterina Murino.

[Jtnguyen12]

Nebraska Funiture Mart have it for $13. I'll get BB pricematch & get FREE CAR :)

[GuessWho]

The guy directly before me in the checkout lane got the last car. :(

[mishii]

How do you guys get Best Buy to price match and also get the giveaway? Everytime I get them to pricematch, they say you can get the lower price or the giveaway, not both.

[michaema]

How do you guys get Best Buy to price match and also get the giveaway? Everytime I get them to pricematch, they say you can get the lower price or the giveaway, not both.

I would try purchasing it first at their advertised price. Then put the giveaway in your car and go to the Customer Service desk and ask for a pricematch. They should match the price and give you an extra 10% of the difference back.

[C_Fletch]

I tried to get the free car at Bestbuy but they said they never received them and that it was UPS's fault. Yea, right. Neiterh store got them in the area.

got it for $15 for the 2-disc edition from amazon

thats funny cause the circuit city in Glendale on broadway/brand and the one in hollywood on sunsetblvd have it for 13.99 the sign is posted plain as day on the instore display.
i bought it at the sunset blvd store and i was shopping at the glendale one when i saw it there

and the coin package says with purchase of the 2 disc dvd or Bluray.
so if you buy the bluray version you get the coin if they still have them.

[califlaman1976]

Yeah this is one of two things that really upsets me about this set, they do everything in there power to disassociate this james bond is differnet from the prior 20 films and then they go and rehash this allready released corny featurette ("i started to wonder what makes a bond girl a bond girl......") from 4 years ago when Die another day came out on dvd.

instead of rehashing this why not give us some other things, such as the screentests that they tease us about in the documentary, or the whole press confrence when they announce craig is bond.

and we dont get one james bond trailer but yet we get 2 of the same spidey 3 2 of the same holiday previews and 2 of the same Pursuit of happiness previews. and zip zero zilch casino royale trailers, heck not even a james bond ultimate collection trailer.

and while i like the packaging i really would have liked it more if they would have made designed it in the same theme as the ultimate collections.

i will say this though i really enjoyed the Becomeing bond documentary.
very well done and really helped to explain more what they were trying to accomplish. i was one of those who before seeing the movie, despised the fact that they didnt use brosnan but once i saw the movie was just blown away. and listening to them talk on the documentary you can see why brosnan couldnt be in this bond.

really though all of this could have fit on one disc and still had a great picture and sound experience.

This bugs me alos, but I understand why the studios do it. The trailers that they put on the discs are promotional content for upcoming DVD's or movies from that same studio. Why give you an ad for somthing that you just bought? It's wasted money, in their eyes. I don't think they see it as a true "bonus" feature ( or at least one worth spending money on).

And if it isn't truely promotional content, they may even have to pay for it differently (ie: rights for temp music).

[Havok83]

Sorry if i was a little confusing.
oh no you werent. I understand everything. Thanks again. This is the first DVD purchase Ive made in a long while. I think Spider-man 2 was the last one. I've bought tv sets but not a movie since then. Never even seen this film but heard alot of great things about it

[califlaman1976]

my point is that by them makeing what could have fit onto one disc a disc release it shows it was just a marketing ploy.
really aside from the becomming bond doc there was nothing special about this release

[canaryfarmer]

Having read that the R3 version of Casino Royale is uncut as opposed to the R1/US Theatrical version, who has the best price for the R3 set?

(here's the info about what was cut for the R1/US Theatrical Presentation:
http://debrief.commanderbond.net/index.php?showtopic=39909 )

[C_Fletch]

Finally found a copy with the car at a sepearate BB location. They told me they always had the car so the other store just lied so I would buy it from them. Just when I start getting back into buying from Best Buy and this happens. I don;t see why I should give them any money for giving me the run around. Just leaves a bad taste w/bb.

Well, CD Wow has it for $15.95. I already got the R1 version but might just get this one since not only is it uncut but has a DTS track. I'll just store the second disc as a backup somewhere and use a 3-disc case and combine the R1 and 3 versions for one set.

[canaryfarmer]

That's what I ended up doing. $17.95 - $2 (coupon code). I'm sure the "uncut" version will be a double-dip before the end of the year.
