The complete series of Angel doesn't even come out until 10/30.

EDIT: What the...?

Amazon (who I have it preordered from) lists it as being on 10/30. Best Buy's website says 10/16.

Who's right? Does this mean Amazon won't ship until two weeks after it releases?

[abrg923]

It may be a Best Buy error...emailed TVShowsOnDVD, and Gord Lacey is saying 10/30:

As far as I know the set has always been pegged for Oct 30.

Gord

[darichestman]

Transformers Gift Set
Planet Terror Tin for me this week

[nodeerforamonth]

no AC/DC DVD box set?

[tonymontana313]

Transformers, Planet Terror, and Blu-ray BOGO for me. Thanks Douglas!

[DouglasRobert]

AC/DC: Plug Me In $16.99 (2-DVD Set)
or $34.99 for 3 DVD Set.

[reubs82]

No CD prices this week? Thanks anyway for the DVDs.

[MadonnasManOne]

Thanks for posting. I thought Roseanne: The Complete Ninth Season came out this week? I don't see it listed in any of the ads? Is it not coming out, or, are the stores not listing it? Usually, Best Buy will have a sale to buy the newest Season set, get any other Season set for free on Roseanne.

[asianxcore]

Thanks OP!

Here's hoping that Planet Terror (non-steelbook) is the same price as Death Proof was. I still have that $5 coupon that I want to use.

[greatmuta3]

Any 22" or 24" lcd monitors on sale this week?

[Jabba_RT]

According to the Best Buy site listing, the Planet Terror Steelbook includes:

"Bonus disc including: Grindhouse 101: Q&A with writer/director Robert Rodriguez at the South by Southwest Film Festival"

If this is true, it would be a no-brainer for purchase as the movie is pretty cool.

Is there any other confirmation on this bonus disc anywhere else?

[Kguy1326]

Any mention of the R.E.M. Live CD/DVD set price???

[pbro83]

It's on sale at bestbuy.com for $26.99, they might have an online deal, but you'll have to wait until after 1 AM in the east for it to be available.

[MadonnasManOne]

Thanks. It's just odd that it isn't listed in their ad. It seems that when a new season set for Roseanne comes out, they have put it in their ad, with the B1G1 free deal.

Of course, I now have every season of Roseanne, with the exception of the final season.

[WillDLeeEsq]

Will hit BB this Tuesday for Transformers 2-Disc SE and the Planet Terror Tin.

Thanks.

Best Buy has it exclusively 2 weeks before everyone else

[ShaiBrooklyn]

That's pretty cool and the price is really good! Fox has done that a couple times with Best Buy

[SeymourGams]

The Death Proof coupon will work on the Planet Terror steelbook, right?

[Marvin Dorfler]

SeymourGams The Death Proof coupon will work on the Planet Terror steelbook, right?

You stole my thunder Seymour! That is my main concern as well. I have to think that they will honor it as it just different packaging. I hope so. So I am picking PLANET TERROR:STEELBOOK up w/ the coupon for $17.99, TRANSFORMERS 2-DISC, THE HOAX, THE REAPING and possibly STUDIO 60. I thought it was a damn shame they cancelled it but w/ no second season, I don't know what kind of repeat value it will have. Oh and I have a $5 RZ Coupon to use, nice! This is just the week I need it.

[abrg923]

Ugh. Of course. And I preordered it from Amazon with Amazon gift certificates...figures.

[SeymourGams]

You stole my thunder Seymour!

Stealing thunder and stealing hearts, all in a days work for Seymour Gams!

[madcougar]

I was hoping for some sort of deal with the 1986 movie. Sigh.

[Darkgod]

Planet terror steelbook ( with my coupon), Transformers 2 disc, and transformers gift pack ( If i can get one, and then pop it on ebay in a month or so)

[DouglasRobert]

FYI, the Batman Begins is the Two-Disc Deluxe Edition for $9.99.

I was going to get the Fantastic Four: Extended Edition but they didn't have any in stock. They were supposed to have 8 in stock but they couldn't find any.

[ds6161]

any info on the Tom Petty DVD set??

[MoviePage]

Is Poltergeist still $9.99, or was that only last week?

[bluetoast]

Once again, incompetence reigns supreme at Best Buy. The one at Potomac Yards didn't accept the coupon on the steelbook, because they somehow think it applies only to the regular edition. Their only "justification" for this is that the coupon says "Extended and Unrated" while the cover of the Steelbook doesn't say this.

Time to try out Pentagon City location next.

[darmok]

hey bluetoast,

my local BB had no problem taking the manufacturer coupon. it didn't scan at first, but the cashier hit some buttons and re-scan'd the coupon, and it took. the $5 came off the total at the bottom of the receipt. sorry to hear your local BB is giving you such BS; definitely try elsewhere & good luck.

I didn't have any issues with my BB either. Besides, if the cashier contested the validity of the coupon, I'll just turn over the SB and point to the specs of disc one, where it clearly states the film is "Extended and Unrated". -wink-

This post made me nervous before I went to my Best Buy (Seacaucus, NJ), but luckily, the coupon worked.
The cashier didn't even blink.

Sweet.

[bluetoast]

Thanks man, and yeah I ended up going to Pentagon City, it worked, the guy didn't miss a beat.

Now my next question is....those of us that bought Death Proof when it came out...are we able to price adjust the $5 off coupon for it, that came with Planet Terror? It hasn't yet been 30 days, so I think that's possible.

[colbyw]

Is Poltergeist still $9.99, or was that only last week?

Regular price is $9.99

[tofferman]

Now that would be sweet, but I'll be surprised if it works. It's worth a try though.

[darmok]

that would be very tough. you would have to locate the steelbook on the shelf (doubt there will be any left), and the full retail price minus the coupon will barely put a dent in savings against the original sale price paid on release week. let us know if you can figure something out!

[bluetoast]

Good news! The price match was successful. I first went to Potomac Yards, where I bought Death Proof in the first place. But then I saw the Iron Chef of bad sales again...at the Customer Service Desk. I had dealt with her not only this morning about the Planet Terror coupon, but also in regards to The Jungle Book/Ratatouille stuff stuff 2 weeks ago (where she was actually helpful). So I leave, knowing that she probably won't help at all.

Anyway, I go to Pentagon City, ask for a price adjustment. I had saved the receipt, so I presented that and the coupon, all that was needed. He set to work, refunded the $22.99, charged the regular $24.99 price, then applied the coupon.

So...taxes included

Original Charge: $24.14

Current Charge: $21.24

So I got back: $2.90

[litza]

any info on the Tom Petty DVD set??


Ditto.

Any reviews? Will this be exclusive to Best Buy? Or exclusive for the next 2 weeks and then available everywhere?


By the way, my local BB was sold out of the Planet Terror steelbook in less than 90 minutes this morning! Strange considering they had the Death Proof steelbook for a few days before selling out.

[JorgeC]

Have to try another on my way home.

I had forgot to bring the Planet Terror coupon this morning when I purchased the steelbook, so I went back to BB this afternoon with both the Planet Terror and Death Proof Steelbooks, the receipts and the coupons.

I told the CS rep that I had forgot to submit the coupons when I purchased the dvds, and she simply rerang the transactions and gave me $10 back. She did mention that as long as it was within 30 days, then it was fine.

So I ended up paying $17.99 for each Steelbook and then put the $10 towards the Transformer HD-DVD ($19.99 out the door). :thumbsup:

[persfave]

Missed out on the steelbook at all the LA stores. Driving around like crazy on my lunchbreak...

Any word on a restock?

[JohnIan]

Got my steelbook and the "Transformers" litho without buying the movie.

Which is good since I had already bought it twice over (I'm so anal).

Their only "justification" for this is that the coupon says "Extended and Unrated" while the cover of the Steelbook doesn't say this.Well, you could tell the Blue Vest Monkey that the coupon came in a Best Buy EXCLUSIVE Steel Case...

[tasog37]

I am very curious about this as well.

I am so, so, so dissapointed that somehow all the stores within a 30 mile radius of me (at least five) sold out of it by five today, when I got out of class. I feel like the Death Proof steelbook is lonely.

[Geist]

If it makes you feel better, they were probably sold out by 11 AM. I watched one guy grab 5 steelbooks himself while others pushed and shoved to snatch what remained on the shelf.

[JorgeC]

5 BBs i hit yesterday were all sold out. Cashiers on their afternoon shifts never even saw the steelbooks (most of these stores had Death Proof for at least a day...sigh).

[Jabba_RT]

I was worried about this happening with the steelbook, so I ordered it online before I went to work yesterday morning, and chose "store pick-up". When I went to pick it up last night after work, the customer service rep told me that he hadn't even seen one. Come to find out, the one I bought was the only one left in the store. Whew!

I plan on test driving my Tom Petty set this weekend but from I've noted so far, this looks like a really solid set.

Good to see you active again Speedy...and posting in the weekly sales thread. Almost like old times :)

[blaineo]

Hey Speedy. It is good to see you back. Everything allright with you?

[The Valeyard]

:bow: He hath returned from the underworld!!!


Good to see ya back at DVDTalk, Speedy! I was close to PMing you over at CAG to see how you were doing.

Make sure your stay isn't a short one.

[bluetoast]

Wow, Speedy! Glad to see you back man.

[speedy1961]

Hey Speedy. It is good to see you back. Everything allright with you?

So far.

Once the CC debacle is over and done with, I should feel much better and perhaps will rethink posting data. I miss doing it and I miss talking to you all (even my detractors).

[Jabba_RT]

Good to hear you're doing ok, Speedy.

I was thinking about doing that to but don't you have to pay ahead of time? There is no way I can use my coupon, can I?
