(DEAD) CC blu-ray glitch

[Slickkeng]

Hey guys, for all you blu ray owners. CC has a BOGO free deal for their 24.99 and 29.99 blu-rays that is not advertised. In store, they are Disney/BVHV and Sony titles listed. But I found a glitch, all titles in this price range are BOGO for all studios (except FOX titles). They all just rung out BOGO with no hassles or anything, no speaking to the supervisor or anything. So I say take advantage of this until they discover their mistake (probably picked cleaned before they realize it)!!! i know we all dislike CC but with deals this good, o well. Keep it low key guys, just buy w/o bringing too much attention.

Catalog FOX titles ar 34.99 do not work, the 29.99 ones seem to work.

[DVD Polizei]

Yeah, ok. Keep it low-key by posting on DVD Talk. :up:

[cgray]

i think we're relatively low key. more so than fat wallet or something. i know that when CC or BB deals are posted on here and the forum swarms, my CC/BB still has the relevant dvds. it's a big world.

anyway, thanks OP. i'll check er out.

[PopcornTreeCt]

Interesting if more people report this I may give it a try.

[sandman007]

Knowing CC they'll deny that there even is a sale.

[Wannabe]

I think OP works for CC.

[dago2727]

Interesting if more people report this I may give it a try.

Picked up Stranger than Fiction & Pursuit of Happyness this morning, but as the day went on I decided to go back and try other Sony titles. No Problem at all. I picked up Surfs Up and Reign Over Me for $30. Hopefully this is still going on on Tuesday when the Invisible comes out.

[HE Pennypacker]

Interesting, interesting indeed.

[PopcornTreeCt]

I've read on the highdefdigest forums that it works for HD-DVDs too. Everything that's a $29.99 title.

I'll have to stop by tomorrow.

[dago2727]

Damn I knew I should of tried. I wanted to pick up Evan Almighty as well.

[PopcornTreeCt]

I think the reason why this won't work on the Fox titles is because they are priced at $39.99. Damn you Fox!

[Michael Corvin]

So ANY HD/BD priced at $25 or $30? Might be worth checking out.

[chaarlieee]

Are the prices online the same as the prices in store?

[DJ_Longfellow]

I hope this is true for HD-DVD. I would LOVE the Transformers and anything else for free.

[REL77]

so CC has been open now on the East Coast for about an hour, can anyone still confirm that all $25-$30 movies are b1g1f?

[John Galt]

YES! Just got back from CC and they were still B1G1. I picked up:
The Patriot BD $12.49
We Are Marshall BD $15.00
Alpha Dog HD $15.00
Shooter HD $15.00

I also purchased Lethal Weapon 2 BD and Saw III BD but for some reason they still rang up regular price. I don't know if the cashier rejected the package discount for those two or what but I'm just going to return them later.

[Jim]

Anyone know if this deal is working in San Diego stores?

[John Galt]

I worked there from 2000-2003 and it was my personal experience that when glitches like these occurred they were system wide and would not be corrected until the end of the business day when they sent out their daily price update to the stores. I remember one time that they had a really big one where they actually interrupted business for about 15 minutes so they could send out the update. They've changed their POS systems since then though so this could have changed.

[Trevor]

Do you have to buy 2 at a time, or can you put 6/8/10 whatever in one transaction?

Any luck in VA?

[jones]

I just got back from a CC is St. Louis area and HD DVDs are indeed part of the deal. They actually ring up as half price. I purchased two and I am pretty sure you can buy just one if you want at half price. As soon as the first disc rang up a BD promo header came up on the register and the first disc rang up at 12.50. SWEET!

[fcb123]

Just came back from circuit city. & IT IS TRUE! I Got Four Blu-Ray's for $60.63 including Tax!!

Troy: Director's Cut (Blu-ray) - $12.50
300 (Blu-ray) - $15.00
Casino Royale (Blu-ray) - $15.00
The Departed (Blu-ray) - $15.00

[tonymontana313]

This can be verified at the CC on Bellaire in Houston as well. I picked up 6 BDs. Have any of you guys had luck finding The Day after Tomorrow?

[Sweet Baby James]

I just need this to last for another 24 hours-Transformers, baby!:fc:

[tonymontana313]

I just need this to last for another 24 hours-Transformers, baby!:fc:
I highly doubt it. I mean I was quite shocked that it was still good this morning but it would be nice if it was good tomorrow because then I know where I will be picking up Transformers!

[DJ_Longfellow]

Wow, glad this deal is still working....hopefully tomorrow. Transformers please....

[matrixrok9]

Yeah, ok. Keep it low-key by posting on DVD Talk. :up:

He found a deal and you're bitching about it. I'm glad we still have jerks on this forum.

To the OP, thanks for the heads up. Going to check it ou after work.

[Legolas]

Do you have to get at least one Disney/Sony title for this to work or is it a free-for-all?

[tonymontana313]

Title has to be below 29.99 to qualify.

Hmm... should have tried to scan the Matrix box set then, or some TV seasons. :)

[Slickkeng]

All titles, you're not restricted to buying a sony or disney title first, you just have to get matching prices. Also, I think the FOX titles are now included (I've heard_ but I havent tried it myself yet. The deal is still going on, get em while you can guys. Happy hunting.

[dick_grayson]

is this worth trying if you don't own HD or BR? I mean to see on ebay or something.

[The Monkees]

Yeah I hope this works tomorrow too. Although I wasn't extremely pleased with Transformers, nor did I want to buy it, but I do want to buy Return to House on Haunted Hill and if this deal is still good tomorrow I will pick up Transformers as well.

[takingchase]

picked up donnie brasco, memento, stranger than fiction, and 300 with no problems.

I don't know how they didn't have reign over me otherwise I would have got that and casino royal also.

[DJ_Longfellow]

Title has to be below 29.99 to qualify.

Do $29.99 titles work, or just BELOW that price? I guess I don't care until tomorrow anyways.

[PopcornTreeCt]

I went to CC and I couldn't find anything I wanted. That's the problem with already buying everything you want.

They did have The Day After Tomorrow but I really wanted Edward Scissorhands.

[vcuram]

Fox titles do work with this deal. Just got Robocop BD, 28 Days Later BD, Reservoir Dogs BD and 12 Monkeys HD for $55.

Three of those were priced $29.99, so I'm not sure if it works for titles priced higher.

[tonymontana313]

Do $29.99 titles work, or just BELOW that price? I guess I don't care until tomorrow anyways.
29.99 titles do work but Fox catalog titles at 34.99 do not work.

[bearkiss]

WOW! I just got back from a CC in nashville... picked up Basic Instinct, Memento, Hitch Hikers Guide to Galaxy, Fugitive, Terminator, Terminator 2, Total Recall, Surf's Up, Scanner Darkly, Scooby Doo, Corpse Bride, Queen, Vacancy, Reservoir Dogs, Superman 2, and Superman Returns! I'm thrilled! pretty much got every title they had in stock that I didn't already have and wanted... now already planning to hit another location tonight on the way home from work! Thanks big time to the original poster of this one! (I knew about the sale with the specified titles because I got a few of those yesterday, but never dreamed to try titles not on the list!)

[BravesMG]

I just got back from CC in Boise and it worked fine both on HD and BD. Everything I tried was either 29.99 or 24.99 and it worked like a charm. Eight movies for about $105, good deal.

[alfredog1976]

Tried this with We Are Marshall and Happy Feet (both HD-DVD). No go for me, all came up at regular price. Also tried Day After Tomorrow (Blu-Ray) by itself, came out to $29.99. :(

[bunkaroo]

This is sick! (In a good way).

Gotta stop by there on my way home.

[Damed]

Title should be changed to reflect HD-DVD AND Bluray.

[Chip718]

Are the HD-DVDs ringing up 1/2 price or is the first one $29.99 and the second $0? I ask because my CC doesnt have a scan. i would have to keep asking the cashier to check the price.

[matrixrok9]

I noticed you're in OC, which one did you go to? My brother went to the Buena Park store and the manager overrode the deal so he had to pay full price. He will return it later.

I went to the Huntington Beach store and it went through! I got 4 HD titles: MI: 3, Shooter, Dawn of the Dead and Perfect Storm for a total of $59.22. 2 were $29.99 and the other 2 were $24.99.

I'm thinking both of your HD's came out at a regular price because they were $34.99. Day After Tomorrow didn't work because you need to buy 2 to get the discount "Buy one get one free".

I went to the one in Laguna Hills, CA. That's what I was thinking as well, now reading these recent posts that one of them was $34.99 (I just saw the total). I tried just the 1 Blu-Ray because that was the only one that I wanted and was hoping that it might come out half price by itself. Oh well, it was worth a try.

[PopcornTreeCt]

Has anyone seen Volver or The Lives of Others at CC?

[BravesMG]

Are the HD-DVDs ringing up 1/2 price or is the first one $29.99 and the second $0? I ask because my CC doesnt have a scan. i would have to keep asking the cashier to check the price.You need to scan both to get the discount, they ring up individually at regular price. On the receipt it lists both DVDs at half price after the adjustment is made.

[alexkat]

no go for me in long beach. tried the lookout, usual suspects, M:I, resevoir dogs. all came up full price.

[kenbenobi]

If mixing DVD's with different prices, do we need to split up the order to get the best savings? Meaning, if you buy two 29.99 titles and two 24.99 titles, will it make both of the 24.99 titles the freebies (thus meaning you should purchase the 24.99 and 29.99 titles separates)?

[kenbenobi]

Also, anyone know of any printable in-store coupons? They have been having a lot of $15 off $100+ coupons in the past few months, but I can't find any right now...

[bluetoast]

Damn, wish I had an HD/BR Player.

Just FYI - I don't believe the Blu-ray titles are a glitch. My local CC has an inkjet-printed sign above the Blu-ray rack listing the $24.99 and $29.99 titles that are BOGO. although it wasn't advertised in the circular, it appears to be a valid, week-long sale.

[Jabba_RT]

Just got back a few minutes ago from Circuit City with Casino Royale (last one - whew!) and The Departed for $14.99 each. Got worried for a minute when they originally showed up on the screen at $29.99 each but then they reduced at the total.

Thanks to all of the OPs in all of these Blu-Ray sales threads. Between Best Buy, Circuit City and Frys, I ended up getting 8 Blu-Ray discs for $105. Kick ASS!!!

[alfredog1976]

I tried another local CC (Tustin, CA), was able to get Bridge To Terabithia and Day After Tomorrow for $15 each! Thanks OP!

[justbarelymovin]

Nevermind - I have some exchanging to do. Ha ha.

Actually I'm pretty sure it is a glitch. I saw that same list and it didn't have one of the titles I purchased (Day After Tomorrow). Just as long as both discs are $29.99 or below, you're good to go.

[Lance_G]

Confirmed in Fremont and Union City CA. Picked up 22 Blu-ray and HD DVDs - mix and match - all came up 50% off on the receipt. Only tried titles $29.99 and 24.99. No problems. I could actually see the discount racking up on the computer as the cashier rang them up.

[Nugent]

Thanks about the heads up on the HD DVD's working. In Jackson, MS I got Mission Impossible, Mummy, Mummy Returns and Unforgiven. All were $24.99 titles. As noted in a previous post they ring up full price until they scan the second one. So I wound up with 4 HD DVD's for $53.46 with tax. My stores selection was a bit thin or I would have purchased more.

[Trevor]

Damn, wish I had an HD/BR Player.
I have about ten HD discs, 4 blu-ray, no player or HD TV. Well, an unopened player, and I'm going to get that HD TV next weekend hopefully.

It fits, since I bought several DVDs before I had a player as well.

[dago2727]

Anyone try 28 Weeks Later? I didnt check because the OP saud no Fox Titles included yesterday. I went back today and picked up evan Almighty and Next on HD-DVD. Worked like a charm. Evan was stickered 34.99, but it rings up 29.99, so its part of the deal.

[kevin75]

no go for me in longview, texas. :(

[Gerry P.]

However, the purpose of this thread is to make aware that all Blu-ray (and possibly HD-DVD) titles $29.99 and below are ringing up at the sale price.

Phone Booth
28 Days Later
28 Weeks Later

[cloudspear]

28 Weeks Later on blu ray is 29.99? on cc website, it's listed at 39.99. also anyone got 300 on blu ray to work?

[missingtoof]

Picked up 300 and Casino Royale - both Blu-ray - at lunch. $15 each. Great deal. Thanks OP!

[toogood]

Just picked up Troy for $12.50 and TMNT for $14.00 There were slim pickings at my local CC. Really wanted to pick up Departed and Blood Diamond.

[Michael Corvin]

Anyone try Knocked Up(Universal)?

[kenbenobi]

Here's the scoop guys, at least for HD-DVD. This is NOT an automatic thing, and COULD be done at any store. I tried buying 6 HD-DVD's, but they all rang up full price. I told him they were B1G1F. He voided the order and re-rang them, and this time input "02" when a box of options came up. The "02" is what activates the promotion. I then went to another CC and also watched them enter "02" to activate the promotion. If they enter "01" which was done originally, they stay full price. So it is YMMV to get the cashiers to enter the promotion code, but this deal should be valid at every CC store if they do...

To clear up other questions from earlier in the thread, one does not ring up full price and the other zero. They each ring up for half off, as long as you purchase two. And the prices do not need to be the same. I bought a 24.99 title with a 29.99 title, and paid 15.00 and 12.50.

That would probably explain why it didn't work for me. Thanks for that tidbit.

[kenbenobi]

Too bad the 34.99 titles don't work. There are several I would like to get...

[GCS]

Works in Richmond, VA

HD-DVDs:

Next
MI
Van Helsing
T3

BRs:

XXX
Gridiron Gang
Vertical Limit
FF4 ROTSS

Will get there first thing in the AM for Transformers and something else.

Would loved to have gotten The Day After Tomorrow but no luck.

[Liquid Death]

My local CC didn't have a wide selection, though I didn't get the impression that it was picked over - couldn't believe they didn't have FF2 on Blu-Ray, though I wasn't too suprised, since they never got Entourage Season 3 Part 2. Picked up Corpse Bride HD, Casino Royale BR, Dawn of the Dead HD, Blood Diamond HD, Smokin Aces HD and Dukes of Hazzard HD for $85.xx. I have all of them in SD, but for the price and based on reviews, they seemed worthy of the upgrade (except DoH, I may return that one).

Which store did you hit? I got mine at the Chesterfield store, but was thinking about going out to Short Pump or Gaskins/Broad tomorrow. I'm trying to find Forbidden Planet and The Fly.

[BuckNaked2k]

This is not a glitch, it's BOGO on BD.

It IS YMMV for HD DVD, as the sale is not supposed to include HD.

VA Center Commons. Selection was pretty good in both BR and HD-DVD.

Several titles I was looking for didn't exist but there was still about 3 full racks of each format to choose from.

I would have gotten more but I had already spent $75 on BRs at Amazon today and $70 on BRs through frys.com on Friday.

I really crossing my fingers for Transformers and something else tomorrow.

[WMAangel]

STAY AWAY from the Gaskins store...it is being remodeled and doesn't have jack squat...seriously, you could count the number of HD titles they have on one hand, I don't even know why they are open....

I went today to Short Pump, VA Center Commons, and Chesterfield to get all of the HD-DVDs I wanted:
Billy Madison
Breakfast Club
Casablanca
Casino
Coming To America
End Of Days
Fast Times At Ridgemont High
Half Baked
Happy Gilmore
Hulk
Mission Impossible
MI:2
Red Dragon
Scooby Doo

Even rebought Bourne Identity and Blades Of Glory to return them to Target since half price was much much better than their $5 off coupon that past month or two....

Also got a few Blus:
Basic Instinct
Casino Royale
Open Season
Wild Things

I rebought Underworld and Halloween to return to Walmart (obviously 12.50 apiece beats the $20 each I had paid there just a week or two ago, gotta save those receipts people....)

Now to take all the standard def DVDs I'm upgrading from to Moviestop and do the 4 for $20 trade in and reserve all the high def titles for the rest of this year!

[KatSagirl]

thanks! we got a bunch at the CC near us.

blades of glory HD
knocked up HD
breach HD
the good shepherd HD
casino HD
Clerks II HD
Talledega Nights
Casino Royale

all rang up at $15. the cashiers were awesome!

-Kat

[Zen Peckinpah]

I tried to grab Goodfellas and Batman Begins, but they rang up full price.

[Seth Rogen] The store in Eatontown, NJ can gargle my balls. [/Seth Rogen]

[The Monkees]

I plan to try this tomorrow on HD-DVD and if it does not work then I will simply tell them I don't want the second one.

Lets hope this still works tomorrow.

[vcuram]

Thanks GCS and WMAangel! I totally forgot there was a CC by VA Center Commons, I may try there too. It's about time the Gaskins store got a remodel job. That store has been horrible since I moved to Richmond.

Also, WMAangel.....do you know if the second Movie Stop on Midlothian Tpk is open yet? I keep forgetting to ask the people at the Harbour Pointe store.

[vcuram]

This is not a glitch, it's BOGO on BD.

It IS YMMV for HD DVD, as the sale is not supposed to include HD.

I don't think ALL BDs are supposed to be part of the B1G1. I think it's supposed to be the same ones that are on sale at BB, Amazon, etc. The Fox titles should definitely not be included in this sale, but they're coming up B1G1.

[gmess]

Worked fine at the new CC store in Bolingbrook, IL. Got Dawn of the Dead and Shooter on HD and The Departed, 300, Troy and the Patriot on BD. Troy was marked $29.99 but rang up $24.99 before the half-off. Scan of receipt is attached so maybe once this deal is dead PM to Best Buy possibilities may exist. Many thanks to OP!!

Did not work at Tyson's Corner East CC. They looked it up in the computer and found that it is only good at certain stores.

The more i think about this, I am glad that I didn't get my 20 discs.

We've all been fooled into thinking that HD discs are supposed to be higher priced and that $15 is a great bargain.

Nope, I'm sticking with the $5 rule. The prices will come down.

Like I said earlier in the thread, they need to enter "02" when the promotion box pops up. The prices will NOT automatically come up B1G1F. At the 2nd store I went to, I just told them right away "these should be B1G1F", then I watched them enter the "02" promotion code. If you don't say anything, your odds are worse. Just tell them, so when the promotion box comes up they are more likely to choose the right option (there are only 2 options--"01" for regular price, or "02" for promotion price). I've witnessed this at 2 stores, so I'm sure that's how it works everywhere...

I see what you're saying, but that may be a long time from now. I'm happy with paying $12.50 or $15 for HD titles, and I have seriously curbed my purchase of SD movies. I really only want HD-DVD now. It's better to pay a little more now and really enjoy the movies in my home theater, than to buy SD now for $5 and upgrade to the HD version in a few years for $5 (IF that ever happens). CH might never make HD part of the enrollment or B1G1 deals. Right now, I don't want to wait. I'm not going totally crazy. I bought 8 titles yesterday, and I'm satisfied (well, I'll try for Transformers today). It's just too good of a deal to pass up on...

I see your logic, but still plan to wait for better bargains. To me, the difference between HD and upconverted SD is not worth even $5 per title. But that is because I buy so many titles and it the $ difference really adds up. If I was a more minimalist collector, I could see going ahead w/ HD.

And btw, HD is included in the B1G1 (or B2G3) deals at CH. So far, all my HD purchases have been either the freebies from the amazon deal and get 5 free rebates, sub $10 deals, or part of B1G1 at CH.

Same here for the most part. I'll only break the rule for movies that I'll watch multiple times.

And btw, HD is included in the B1G1 (or B2G3) deals at CH.
Do you have to order over the phone to do this? I made an online purchase yesterday to fulfill my commitment and it wouldn't let me pick an HD DVD as the free one.

[Sweet Baby James]

Do you have to order over the phone to do this? I made an online purchase yesterday to fulfill my commitment and it wouldn't let me pick an HD DVD as the free one.CH won't let you take an HD title as the freebie. You also cannot take it as an enrollment nor apply Fun Cash to it. If you still purchase the occasional SD title(such as Death Proof), then you can get an HD title and an SD title for around $22 shipped.

I'm heading out to CC right now in hopes of Transformers and another HD/BR title. Wish me luck! :fc:

Hopefully you can report back either way before I leave w/in the next hour. Good luck!

[Sweet Baby James]

Hopefully you can report back either way before I leave w/in the next hour. Good luck!
Unfortunately, I won't be able to post back for at least a couple of hours. The closest CC is a 35 minute drive and I'm also going to hit up Costco while I'm out. I'll certainly post my findings when I get back.

[Sweet Baby James]

A poster at avsforum just reported that he was able to get Transformers for $15 as part of a BOGO and he also got a free hat! He was at a CC in Michigan.

[pinata242]

Awesome. Guess I'll be leaving even earlier to get that hat right when they open at 10.

Nice he must be posting from his car or something.

He actually said he was posting from the checkout line.:lol:

[JJay]

A mix of HD and Blu Ray titles worked last night in Auburn Hills, MI. Picked up six discs for $87. All were priced $24.99 or $29.99. Thinking of making another run later in the week...

[Coraanu]

Thank you, OP. Checked a few stores in MN for the HD-DVD B1G1:

Maplewood - Denied.
Northtown - 2 sales folks came over to tell me about the deal as I was browsing, rang up B1G1 though it did take awhile.
Roseville - B1G1 worked during checkout.

I wish they would get their stuff together and either do the sale all the way across the board or not. It sucks that it comes down to being a toss up.

[Jabba_RT]

He actually said he was posting from the checkout line.:lol:
That's friggin' incredible!! He's definitely a devoted poster! :bow:

So, on another note, do we actually have confirmation that this "sale" is good until Saturday, at least for Blu-Rays priced $24.99 and $29.99?

[GCS]

Worked here in Richmond, VA as well.

Got Breach and Transformers for $30.

Can't complain about that at all!!

Greg

[kenbenobi]

And btw, HD is included in the B1G1 (or B2G3) deals at CH. So far, all my HD purchases have been either the freebies from the amazon deal and get 5 free rebates, sub $10 deals, or part of B1G1 at CH.
I meant you can't take an HD-DVD as the free title, nor as an enrollment title. I hope we can in the future, but that's a deal killer for me. I don't want to buy any more SD, except for the titles only available on Blu Ray that I want. But since CH doesn't carry Disney and Fox (well, I see they are starting to get Fox), my SD purchases through CH are few and far between. So I've stopped recyclying my accounts...

[dullboy]

Snagged! Transformers HD-DVD for $15 and Halloween BD for $12.50.

[megashopper]

Denied at the CC by Baybrook Mall in Webster, TX. I'm not sure if it would work there with others but I tried with Transformers and Disturbia and when they rang up full price I said they were supposed to be buy one get one free and the cashier said not with Transformers. I'm going to try a different CC in a little while.

[dvd182]

Just got Transformers and the Troy DC for ~$30. The register was giving the girl some trouble, but she finally said "oh, I guess these are buy one get one" and pushed it through.

[yellowlt4]

My CC didn't have any HD DVD Transformers in the store this morning. Looks like my deals for the week are over.

[Corihor1]

Most of the titles I bought today worked for me :

Blu-Ray

300
Bridge to Terabithia (Should work no matter what)
Chicken Little
Fantastic 4 Silver Surfer
Troy DC

HD-DVD

Knocked Up
Sting
Searchers
Blood Diamond
Transformers
March of the Penguins


These ones did not work

HD-DVD

Hot Fuzz (It is 34.99, but I was just hoping....)
Disturbia
Troy DC

BR

Day After Tomorrow

[eatntae]

Transformers is the only HD-DVD I want. Is there a way to get one HD-DVD and one Blu-Ray and get the deal to work?

[MetalGator311]

I went to town on this sale, had some gift cards and just couldn't stop:

HD:
Transformers
Goodfellas
Batman Begins
Bourne Supremacy

BR:
The Last Samurai
Total Recall
A Scanner Darkly
Troy DC
Black Hawk Down
The Departed
Wild Things
Saw (R)
Saw II Unrated
Saw III Unrated

[TallGuyMe]

I hope this deal is still going on when I try my local CC afterwork....

[pinata242]

Got Transformers, Troy: DC, Full Metal Jacket, and NiN:BYiT for less than 2x what I was going to pay for Transformers anyway. Plus I got an Autobot baseball cap that I'll never wear, but it's mine!

[edstein]

Deal worked for me here in Wichita. Picked up Transformers, Bourne Supremacy, Unforgiven and, Smoking Aces. They told me the deal was for all BD and HD-DVD titles $29.99 or less.

Thanks OP!!

[Dugout Doug]

Do you have to buy 2 at a time, or can you put 6/8/10 whatever in one transaction?

Any luck in VA?
Posted by me in the HD forum.

Just grabbed it here in Herndon VA. (why am I here?) Not sure what store it was, I am here on business for a few days.

Transformers and charlie and the choco factory, $23 and change.

Thanks guys, was looking for a GREAT deal on this HD title!

[DJ_Longfellow]

I may have to get Transformers on HD-DVD now. I only have a few HD-DVD's, so this may be the time to get one. Maybe get TWO Transformers....one for me, one to offset the cost a bit.

[bearkiss]

I just tried it in nashville... picked up HD Transformers... and Blu-Ray 300... and got the free Transformers cap (their last one!)... and the total was $15.00 each! so it DOES work when you buy 1 HD and 1 BR!!!!!

[Dugout Doug]

Wish I would have read this whole thread first, had no idea blue Rays were involved too.

And it was the Sterling Circuit City.

[dsa_shea]

I got Transformers and Troy (both HD-dvd) for 12.50 each plus tax. It came out to 27 and some change. Cha-ching!!!

[HE Pennypacker]

Had no idea blu-rays were involved when the thread title specifically mentions blu-rays?

[D_N_G]

worked in Irving Mall in TX!

Transformers & Disturbia HDs for 30

[Sweet Baby James]

I got Transformers and Troy (both HD-dvd) for 12.50 each plus tax. It came out to 27 and some change. Cha-ching!!!
How were you able to manage that? My copy of Transformers was $15.00(I did get the cap though). For anyone having trouble locating the Transformers HD, check at the Customer Service Desk. My CC(Milford, CT) only had the HDs in a stack behind the desk.

[GCS]

This is a great deal overall but it can be frustrating. I have yet to be denied anywhere and all the clerks who have checked me out have just punched through the whole thing and given me the discount.

As mentioned the 2 keys to this deal are

1. All titles must be $29.99 or less .. nothing over unless you get lucky.

2. Let everything ring up and let them get to the end (ie just before you pay) and check the total. It should be about 1/2 of what the titles added up to be from their stickers. If not then say something otherwise just let it.

At my store the cashier simply had to ring them up and answer yes to the discount question on the screen. It immediately came up after ALL titles were scanned and they went to the payment screen. Before that NOTHING comes up about a discount.

Relax and be patient and it will work. There is no need to push it.

I for one am very happy with all the deals that have come up recently -- both HD-DVD and BR. I only wish this would happen again in mid-late November to capture some of those nice BR releases coming up. Oh well it matters not as this week has bankrupted me anyway.

Enjoy your movies!!

Greg

[ResIpsa]

I picked up a few HD-DVDs for $12.50 each at the Union City CA store. No problem at all. In fact, the cashier seemed well aware of the deal when I asked her about it so I'm guessing this is a legitimate (albeit unadvertised) sale. They had at least 50 copies of the Transformers HD-DVD stacked and ready to go out the door.

[garrettg]

I got denied for Transformers in Olympia, WA. The guy said the BOGO deal was Blu-Ray only. Suck!!

- Garrett

[The Monkees]

i bought transformers and M:I-3. I don't want M:I-3. Is there any way I can return it without them trying to charge me the full price for transfomers?

[TheJoker]

I got 300 and 28 weeks later from CC.

Was wanting F4:ROTSS but they didnt have it. Hopefully I can exchange 28 for that when they do get it in or at another CC. The lady said I could but the $15 price on the receipt is whats worrying me.

[Chip718]

I tried 2 CCs anf couldnt get Transformers at the BOGO price, but I did managed to get Troy DC and 300.

[emontedodger]

Anyone hit up the Pasadena, CA store? If it still works there, I'll pay the store a visit after work and on my way to class tonight.

[tasog37]

Working in Denton, TX.

Picked up The Fountain and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang brs for $32.xx.

I'm really trying to find The Warriors, Black Book, Lives of Others, Edward Scissorhands or something, but having no luck. I've got two Circuit City's left to try, so hopefully one of them will provide something good.

If you have a Backstage Pass, then it would only be $17.99. Not as good as the CC BOGO, but none too shabby if you are unable to locate it at your local CC.

[toogood]

Not sure about that store, but the one in Glendale near the Market place works. Just picked up a few movies including Transformer on HD-DVD.

[brianluvdvd]

I went a little crazy and had to stop myself from buying too much. My purchases were all HD-DVDs.

Of the $30 titles I got An American Werewolf In London (why the heck is this title still $30?) & Blades Of Glory. I was going to get Transformers but had already bought it online for $20 and didn't want to deal with the return hassle.

Of the $25 titles I got Wolf Creek, Feast, The 40-Year-Old Virgin Unrated, Born On the Fourth of July, Serenity, Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, Casino & Goodfellas.

I was sad to see no copies of Superman The Motion Picture and Superman Returns was still priced at $35. :(

Awesome deal & thanks to the original poster!

Another guy was there buying a bunch as well and asked me if I heard it thru the AVS forums. I told him Dvdtalk but the word is definitely getting out.

It has to be a glitch to include the HD-DVDs because when the clerk was ringing me up, it a message kept popping up BlueRay Buy 1 Get 1 Free.

Wonder how long this will last?

[DJ_Longfellow]

Anyone have any luck with THE DESCENT? Is it $35 though? I forget....

[alfredog1976]

Anyone have any luck with THE DESCENT? Is it $35 though? I forget....

I was able to get it with Transformers...it was $29 ($15 after discount)

[The Monkees]

I went to two CC and couldn't find Return to House on Haunted Hill, so I gave up and just bought it at Best Buy. The only reason I tried CC was to get Transformers for free. I don't really want the movie that bad, but for free why the hell not? Oh well.

[dsa_shea]

I guess none of the CC got this movie in HD (and I'm guessing Blu-Ray). I was going to grab it along with Transformers. I did grab Transformers and Troy (Director's Cut) for 25 plus tax out the door. That's just a bit more than what some people are paying for the 2-disc SD version.

[DJ_Longfellow]

I was able to get it with Transformers...it was $29 ($15 after discount)

Sweet, the exact combo i wanted (unless I just get two transformers and sell one on EBAY to save me money :) )

The Descent was damn good though....hmmm, what to do.

[KatSagirl]

i was able to get transformers for 15 bucks. too bad i couldn't find shooters. i love that movie! stupid hotfuzz has to be 34.99 :(

-Kat

[jkzahn]

Got it at Ross Park in Pittsburgh.

The deal is actually 50% off each when buying two, which is a better deal than BOGO. (I paid $27.50 for Transformers and a $24.99 title instead of $29.99 for Transformers and the other free).

I got:

Transformers HD - $15.00
40 Year Old Virgin HD - $12.50
Charlie Chocolate HD - $12.50
Eternal Sunshine HD - $12.50

[TallGuyMe]

Worked at my local CC in Massachusetts.

Dawn of the Dead (remake)
Casino
American Werewolf in London
Serenity

all in HD-DVD, and rang up as $12.50 each. I did not try any BluRay discs.

Nice.

[jkzahn]

I see a lot of folks were picking up Bourne titles on HD. Just wanted to make sure you realize they are releasing a Jason Bourne HD Box Set in a few months with more extras..........

http://hddvd.highdefdigest.com/1136/jasonbournecollection.html

[PopcornTreeCt]

Lives of Others is currently $19.99 at FYE. They are running a half off sale on all Sony Blu-Rays. If you have a Backstage Pass, then it would only be $17.99. Not as good as the CC BOGO, but none too shabby if you are unable to locate it at your local CC.

[LASERMOVIES]

It worked at the Temecula, CA CC store when I tried it today. I got a total of 10 discs from both formats. For some reason Troy Director's Cut rang up to $12.50 even though it was marked $29.99. Here is the list of what I got and paid.

300 Blu-Ray $15
Casino Royale Blu-Ray $15
Rocky Balboa Blu-Ray $15
The Fountain Blu-Ray $15
Flags of Our Fathers 2 disc SE HD-DVD $15
Troy Director's Cut Blu-Ray $12.50
Black Hawk Down Blu-Ray $12.50
Momento Blu-Ray $12.50
Casino HD-DVD $12.50
Trading Places HD-DVD $12.50

[ivelostr2]

I was able to get transformers for 15.00, but the rest of the selection was pretty bad, no 40 yov, no descent, no charlie and the chocolate fact, no serenity, I ended up blind buying Flags of our fathers, I figure I intended on checking it out sooner or later, and never picked it up, but i would have preferred one of the others.

[FatHead316]

Had no idea blu-rays were involved when the thread title specifically mentions blu-rays?

he said he saw the deal in the HD forum under Transformers thread, went to the store, THEN saw this thread.

Mr. Picky Pants

[RockStrongo]

Worked for me at Southlake and Irving TX stores.

I got Transformers and Flags of our Fathers from Irving

Day after tomorrow and Dracula from Southlake

Irving was picked over pretty good, but Southlake had alot to choose from.

[jeffrey r]

Worked tonight in NJ. The checkout guy had no idea about the promotion, but I asked him to watch the screen and put it through.

Picked up:

Casino
Goodfellas
Troy Directors Cut
Transformers
Batman Begins
Sleepy Hollow

All for $82 out the door. I think they all rang up as $12.50 except Transformers at $15. Haul would have been even better if I remembered to look for Top Gun and some others. But what a sweet deal. Hopefully it continues for another couple of days.

[whovian43]

Went to CC and the deal worked for me. I got Smoking Aces and The Fugitive on HD-DVD for $27.50 total.

[sumdeus]

Thanks OP! I went to CC on my way home from work today at the Newington, NH, location and got the following with no problems at all:

Lord of War - BD - $15
Day After Tomorrow - BD - $15
American Psycho - BD - $12.50
Land of the Dead - HD - $15
Clerks II - HD - $12.50
Transformers - HD - $15
Total Recall - BD - $12.50
Dawn of the Dead - HD - $12.50
Stargate - BD - $12.50
Top Gun - HD - $12.50

The selection at this store was excellent!

[garrettg]

I got denied for Transformers in Olympia, WA. The guy said the BOGO deal was Blu-Ray only. Suck!!

Update: my wife was in Tacoma (about 25 miles north), so I called her and asked her to check the CC there. No problems!! (She _is_ better looking than I am.) We got Transformers and Evan Almighty for just over $30.

-- Garrett

[tasog37]

Thanks for the tip on Lives of Others, I may have to hit that.

Also, CC has the worst customer service of all time. I called a store (Lewisville) and they wouldnt even check to see if they had The Warriors for me. Then, I went in the store and snuck my way into one of the computer pos systems and four seconds later had an inventory search menu. I checked a good ten different titles, non of which were in stock.

Oddly enough, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang which was $29 at the first store (Denton)was marked $34 here, guess I got lucky on that one.

I talked to a girl at a different location (Irving Mall), she told me that CC's in this region (North TX) got their shipments on Wed. mornings so to try for the stuff I wanted again tomorrow. Hopefully the sale will still be going on.

[yellowlt4]

Made the 10 mile trip to another Circuit City and scored Transformers HD and Invisible Blu-Ray for $30. Not bad for 2 brand new releases in hi-def.

Since my stores normaly restock on Wednesday I'm gonna go try one more time tomorrow and see if I can't get my hands on Casino Royale.

[HappyRabbit]

Worked for me in KY. Picked up the following BOGO:

Robocop BD
Day After Tomorrow BD
Troy BD
Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer BD
Planet of The Apes BD
28 Weeks Later BD
Perfect Stranger BD
We Are Marshall BD
The Usual Suspects BD
The Invisible BD


Transformers x2 HD

Has anyone seen any Transformers HD with Decepticon Covers?

Southlake had a good selection that didnt look picked over.

[dago2727]

Transformers x2 HD

Has anyone seen any Transformers HD with Decepticon Covers?

The Cover is 2 sided. The other side has Megatron.

[typecase]

Thanks OP! This worked for me, I picked up:

Transformers, Knocked Up, Talladega Nights BD, and Troy BD. :D

[HappyRabbit]

The Cover is 2 sided. The other side has Megatron.


I was just curious because one of the ones I got had Megatron on the cover. It was the only one I seen like it in all the stores I went to today and since I bit and bought nearly every exclusive today lol I went ahead and bought that one too(well got it free that is)

[sunstar715]

can anybody confirm this works in ct, either the newington store or meridan store

Thanks in advance

[sman113]

Got:

Transformers x2
Troy Directors Cut
Knocked Up
40-Yr-Old Virgin
Swordfish
Bourne Identity
Bourne Supremacy

Was looking for Top Gun and non-combo Superman returns, but no luck.

[HE Pennypacker]

Damn, I should have gone HD by now eh?

[HappyRabbit]

If anyone is interested in picking up The Reaping on Blu-Ray in exchange for something they couldn't find in their store, let me know. My circuit city didnt have it the reaping. Maybe my store will have one you couldn't find. I am making another trip in the morning so let me know through pm. I'll be on for a little while.

I can probably do 2 for 2 or so on as well if it would help make it more worth it for shipping reasons.


Just let me know which ones your looking for and I'll tell ya if I can get it. I spent enough time in there today to know what they have lol

I can also pick up HD,including Transformers in return if thats what your looking for.

[alfredog1976]

Anyone here in Orange County, CA there is a new store at Foothill Ranch. Pretty good HD-DVD/Blu-Ray selection, especially compared to the other CC stores I went to. I was able to snag Rocky Balboa, Casino Royale, The Good Shephard and FF2.

[REL77]

Does anyone know what happens if I need to return one of the movies I got that was part of the B1G1 free promo? DO i need to return 2 movies to get my full money back?

[naitram]

Picked up a few HD DVDs there today, great deal but pretty slim selection. I'm really tempted to go back and buy some BRs even though I don't have a player. :p

[WMAangel]

Thanks GCS and WMAangel! I totally forgot there was a CC by VA Center Commons, I may try there too. It's about time the Gaskins store got a remodel job. That store has been horrible since I moved to Richmond.

Also, WMAangel.....do you know if the second Movie Stop on Midlothian Tpk is open yet? I keep forgetting to ask the people at the Harbour Pointe store.

Do not know yet about the Movie Stop, where on Midlo Trnpk is this new one going to be? I went to the Hull Street one last night to pick up my Transformers HD-DVD since they were doing the special midnight sale thing....I had pre-ordered it there with the new release trade in deal.....wish I had known about this CC sale before I pre-ordered it from them, I'd much rather have paid $15!

I might have to try and hit up the CC at Southpark in Colonial Heights just to see if they might possibly have anything that I haven't been able to find at the other locations (specifically Accepted on HD and The Fly on BD)...can't try and call any of their stores beforehand, the CC employees always seem so clueless....

[Slickkeng]

Hey guys, wow when i started this thread I had no idea it would get this many views/responses!!! I'm glad everyone was able to take advantage of this great deal (probably the best one we'll ever get this year)!! I myself ended up getting about 20+ BDs and am pretty much broke. I hope this last till the end of the week, but it seems like they are slowly shutting these down store by store =(.

[BiMonSciFiCon]

Stopped by the Depford Mall store in NJ and they had a small sign posted over the DVD rack. The sign listed BOGO titles in two categories - $24.99 and $29.99. The items listed seemed to consist of mainly Disney titles - the same titles that are on sale @ Amazon, DD & J&R.

[Havok83]

I will definetly be hitting up CC at lunch time tomorrow

[V-ism]

Came back from Huntington Beach, CA with Transformers, Goodfellas, Fantastic 4 2, and Serenity.

I was originally holding a ton more and realized I'm spending way to much.

ya mine had that too, everything under 30 is still free game though regardless of what the list says.

[jones]

What's the possibility of this sale lasting through next week?
I would love to get 2001 A Space Oddessy HD, The Shinning HD, and A Clockwork Orange HD B1G1 free. Assuming that they will even carry those title.
BTW, anyone find The Reaping on HD DVD?

[MetalGator311]

This is a day to day matter, one would think higher ups will be suspicious why BD and HD-DVDs are flying off the shelf.

My two local stores had NONE of those. I was very disappointed in the selection. I bought Transformers and Blood Diamond today, but I have no plans to buy anything else. I had a list of 20 HD titles I would have bought, and they had none of them. Their selection sucks...

[GizmoDVD]

No 'The Reaping', 'House on Haunted Hill', 'Master of Horrors' at ANY CCs today?

[kenbenobi]

can anybody confirm this works in ct, either the newington store or meridan store

Thanks in advance
This works at ANY store you can get a cashier to enter "02" to activate the promotion when they ring em up. It is YMMV by cashier, not by store... I'm sure every store has a cashier that would do it. It's just a matter of finding the right cashier... Unfortunately they aren't like Best Buy. They have few cashiers...

[Sweet Baby James]

can anybody confirm this works in ct, either the newington store or meridan store

Thanks in advanceA little up the road, but I scored at the Milford location(a strip plaza next to Barnes and Noble).

[Sweet Baby James]

Stopped by the Depford Mall store in NJ Small world. I grew up in West Depford.:)

[Mosskeeto]

The NYC location I scouted was wiped out except for The Transformers which was available in bulk.

[Decker]

First attempt for me was a no-go. Tried Transformers + Knocked Up, then Transformers + Day After Tomorrow at CS and was told it wouldn't work. Asked them to punch "option 2", she said that would make it work, but it's an override and she'd get into trouble. They got the list of honored titles and gave me a copy. I said thanks. Then I picked up one of those titles, "Bridge to Terabethia", and kept the Transformers HD-DVD (feigning partial ignorance), went to a check out line and THAT worked. Thanks, OP.

[Sweet Baby James]

^

You made out fine-Bridge to Terabithia is a great movie, IMHO.:)

[dizzlle01]

I saw the weaping at my local store today.Willing to pick up for someone if they willing to get me the day after tomorrow?

[MetalGator311]

It's just a matter of finding the right cashier... Unfortunately they aren't like Best Buy. They have few cashiers...

Since I was checking out 6-8 each time, I simply said "I think some of those are part of that Blu Ray promotion." The first transaction was kind of awkward, he told me a total of $162, I asked him if he could check to see if any of my purchases were part of the promotion (thinking he would hit something on the checkout) instead he got the list, but I think he finally hit something else because after he got the list (none of them were on it) It came back $80 something instead. Second transaction with a different cashier simply mentioning the promotion got me the discount

[bee_01]

CC manager gave me the "sorry, those disks aren't on sale" line with a big grin on his face after the clerk called him over. Ugh, CC - worst retailer ever.

[DJ_Longfellow]

I was going to pick up Transformers x2 last night, but I went inot Circuit City at like 8:30pm last night and the line was wrapped around the store....the employees are god-awful slow at that store, so I put the HD-DVD's down and left. I had enough that day...

I may try today if it is still working, but not a big issue to me.

No 'The Reaping', 'House on Haunted Hill', 'Master of Horrors' at ANY CCs today?


I saw the Reaping on HD-DVD only. I was looking for the MOH and Return to House on Haunted Hill, but they were nowhere to be found.

[steebo777]

I scored Transformers and Troy: DC for $29.15 yesterday afternoon with zero problems at the CC by me. Hooray for deals!

[Jabba_RT]

can anybody confirm this works in ct, either the newington store or meridan store

Thanks in advance
It worked for me at the Meriden store on Monday night. I ended up getting Casino Royale BD (last one) and the Departed BD.

I don't know about it working for the HD titles.

[whotony]

didnt work for me today.

is it dead.

[HappyRabbit]

im on my way now to pick up a few more. Will let u know if it works. Typing from iphone so forgive my errors

[jeffrey r]

didnt work for me today.

is it dead.

A couple of people on AVS have reported no luck today (with no-one reporting success yet), so I fear this may have been corrected nationally overnight. That would suck as I was planning another run today for everything I forgot to grab yesterday. If dead though, this was fun while it lasted.

[kenbenobi]

I assume you guys mean HD is dead. It should still work on BD, shouldn't it? I thought that was advertised... It seems pretty much every store has B1G1F on BD this week. Even FYE and B&N!

[Sweet Baby James]

^

The BD sale at all of the stores this week is limited to Disney titles though, not all BD titles. I have a bad feeling that CC smelled the coffee yesterday after all of the Transformers DVDs headed out the door for $15.

[HappyRabbit]

they have fixed the glitch. They now have a list to go by. I'm sure they have fixed it nationwide. It was fun while it lasted

True, I was only focusing on HD-DVD. Not sure about BD.

[DJ_Longfellow]

I belive BD is DEAD also

[Big Worms]

Yep dead now.

Now back to the normal Speedy Support Boycott of CC.

[Sweet Baby James]

Yep dead now.

Now back to the normal Speedy Support Boycott of CC.


:lol:

[GCS]

Yep deal is dead now on all fronts. They have a list of BRs that its good on posted at the BR section and at the registers. I looked it over and it appears to be a combo of all Sony and Disney titles. I would say the list was at least 50 or 60 titles long.

Hey this was great while it lasted. It broke me anyway so I am kinda glad its over, LOL!

Now I just need an inexpensive BR player (yeah right .. they don't exist)

Enjoy your bargains everyone!!

[Michael Corvin]

I can also confirm. Went at lunch. The party's over. The guy was aware that it was working on HD though and was puzzled why it wasn't working today. He called the manager who also didn't know what was up. Their final decision? Whatever the computer says, goes. :lol:

Damn. I couldn't make it the past couple days and only wanted one flick. Oh well.

[rexinnih]

Yep dead now.

Now back to the normal Speedy Support Boycott of CC.

:up:

[Zen Peckinpah]

I was so gonna get V for Vendetta and Clerks II after class, not now.

This deal is dead? Circuit City is dead to me.

[Legolas]

Dead now, huh? Now I don't know what to do with the Blu-Ray title (which wasn't part of the official sale list) I got that I don't really want.

[LASERMOVIES]

Oh well I was tempted to go back again today to look for a few more DVDs I missed yesterday. My local CC had a great selection of both HD formats in stock. It didn't appear anyone in the area was aware of the glitch so the title selection wasn't picked over.

[BSTNFAN]

Dead now, huh? Now I don't know what to do with the Blu-Ray title (which wasn't part of the official sale list) I got that I don't really want.

Trade it on the HD trade thread. What is it?

[Legolas]

RoboCop.

[matrixrok9]

This deal is dead? Circuit City is dead to me.

You're upset at CC because they caught the glitch?

[Zen Peckinpah]

You're upset at CC because they caught the glitch?

I was quoting Colbert.

[SoonerDoc]

no go at OKC Quail Springs location this afternoon around 1:00 pm

[Trevor]

You're upset at CC because they caught the glitch?
Amen. This was an obvious glitch and no one should be anything but thankful to CC for letting some of you get some "deals".

[Legolas]

When I was at CC on Monday, there was a guy going through literally every Blu-Ray case on the shelf to find the sale titles, and he kept double checking the list to make sure he got a title. He was even grabbing crap like Flightplan. I thought about telling him about the glitch, but then he probably would've ended up buying everything there.

[Artman]

Surprised it took so long... the ineptness of CC is really astounding if it takes them days to fix this kind of a mistake...

[myrdh]

let's start a "trade the sealed stuff you don't want but bought because of the glitch". I'm first. I have....

Deer Hunter HD (sealed)
Meet the Parents HD (sealed)
Meet Joe Black HD (sealed)

[yellowlt4]

Now back to the normal Speedy Support Boycott of CC.

Considering how much money this likely cost Circuit City I would say this hurt them more than a Boycott. I only bought titles I couldn't get from the other BOGOF vendors.

[mitch079]

It usually takes them 3-4 days to get their advertised video game deals right in their system. This is par for the course with them.

[fujishig]

Someone said that they can only make system wide changes in promotions and pricing overnight, so it makes sense that it didn't go through until today. Well, actually, I thought it would be caught by yesterday morning, I'm really surprised they let it go until after Transformers came out.

[TheJoker]

My aunt actually went and got my 28 weeks later exchanged for F4:ROTSS!

It had the bonus disc included and I even got back $1.63!

This really made my long day at school and club.

I thought it wouldnt work since the BOGO was said to be dead.

[gmess]

Well after all was said and done and 3 trips to 2 different circuit citys on Mon and Tues my final haul was

Knocked Up HD-DVD $15.00
Bourne Identity HD-DVD $12.50
Bourne Supremacy HD-DVD $12.50
Shooter HD-DVD $15.00
Dawn of the Dead HD-DVD $12.50

POTC Black Pearl Blu-Ray $15.00
Blood Diamond Blu-Ray $12.50
The Prestige Blu-Ray $15.00
The Departed Blu-Ray $15.00
The 300 Blu-Ray $15.00
Troy Director's Cut Blu-Ray $12.50
The Patriot Ext Cut Blu-Ray $12.50

It failed on Transformers cause there was only 1 guy running the registers and he must have known that there was no way transformers was half off. If there was a girl runnin any checkouts I would have gone to her for sure. So he denied my 1 package deal and Transformers and Top Gun are goin back!

[dplatt]

RoboCop.

Anything in particular you're looking for? This is the one title on my want list that I couldn't find at any of my local stores.

[yellowlt4]

Amen. This was an obvious glitch and no one should be anything but thankful to CC for letting some of you get some "deals".
I agree and I am very thankful CC gave me a reason to screw them out some quality BD and HD releases.

[Jake77444]

Someone on CAG is claiming this is working again today. Anyone attempt or confirm?

[MetalGator311]

My aunt actually went and got my 28 weeks later exchanged for F4:ROTSS!


Exchanged as in returned without a receipt and swapped?

[kenbenobi]

CC does not allow returns without a receipt, not even after Christmas... not even if there is a CC sticker on it (although they did try to find my out-of-state Aunt in their system to find the receipt)...

[HappyRabbit]

I don't see how it could be working again but if anyone else confirms it worked for them, I'll take another trip and see

[Big Worms]

I think if you get extremely lucky and have a person ring you up that has no idea what they are doing you may have a shot at getting this deal. I think officially it is not dead in their system, it is that they were told not to ring anybody up for this sale unless they have the titles that apply.

[HappyRabbit]

How would they ring it up though? when I picked some up on tuesday they rang up on sale by themselves. I tried this wednesday and they rang up full price and the cashier called someone else over and they took them back to the csc and someone told them about the list. I believe most stores now printed the list out because of the glitch. I don't think putting in the 02 code would even allow them to go through as BOGO.

That is the question. Did they actually fix it in their system? I don't think they did. Could be wrong though.

[whotony]

people in this topic keep saying "blah blah is being said over at cag"

when will you provide a link so we can read exactly what you found.

[yellowlt4]

That is the question. Did they actually fix it in their system? I don't think they did. Could be wrong though.

I think the glitch was fixed at my stores. On Monday/Tuesday when the discs were scanned there was an option that forced the cashier to press "02" to make these discs BOGO or press "01" for full price. When I returned on Wednesday the option to press "01" or "02" was gone. The cashier is a friend of mine and she said the system had changed as of Wednesday morning as she could no longer "force" the BOGO unless the discs were qualifying Disney/Buena Vista titles.

[DVD Polizei]

This is EXTREMELY YMMV.

I spent an hour at a CC in the Portland, OR area, and most of the CSR's said "it's only on BD" but then a more intelligent gal said, "No, I just rang the HD DVDs up a few days ago on Tuesday." Anyway, after going back and forth with the manager, and the nice girl was honest and said, "Well, maybe it was over..." I got the B1G1. I grabbed 8 HD DVDs but it was looked through. Managed to get Transformers at least in the bunch.

This is NOT in their system. The deal is very YMMV, and you have to luck out that the person working the day you're in there, has done it before.

I would imagine it was just for the Tuesday or up until Tuesday.

I almost think it was an error, and they included both HD formats, because I asked if this was still valid until this Sunday, I got an affirmative "NO". I only got the HD DVDs I did because for one, the nice girl working remembered doing it before and said as much (which maybe she shouldn't have but then they began to honor it at that point), two, the manager said go ahead she was adamant the discount was valid--but then at the POS computer screen, it said different.

I actually paid $12.99 for $24.99 titles because the person doing the discount didn't calculate 50% off properly. And I wasn't going to bitch over a $4.00 difference.

My guess is, it's over. I mean, I was rather late and I just happened to get curious passing a CC today, and it was luck that the girl working knew what I was talking about. She won't do it again, because I'm pretty sure she now realized it didn't come up in the system, and whatever the "sale" was, is over.

I want to turn in the Bourne Supremacy after learning of the Jason Bourne set. Will that invalidate my deal on a different HD-DVD since this was B1G1?

[whotony]

maybe but i looked over there and i dont see anyone saying any such thing.

so link to it so it can be seen.



the previous topic on this, over there was closed.

besides, what does me being pompous or anything else have to do with it.

if there was a post over there saying this worked today, link to it.

[kenbenobi]

YMMV on that. Personally, I'd do one of the following:
1) Ebay it
2) Give it as a Christmas gift
3) Return it to WM or Suncoast or FYE for store credit
4) Wait until after Christmas, when BB accepts gift returns

Wally World or FYE sound like the best options

Borders gives me absolutley no problems, never asks for ID and you can use the gift card at Amazon(although Borders is going to sever their tie with Amazon in 2008 and sell through their own site). Since Christmas is just around the corner, I would wait until then to do a receiptless return.

I would add that it can be traded on the HD sale/trade thread.

Yeah, Borders and B&N are options as well...

As is the trade forum. I have never used the trade forum before, although I surely have a lot I could trade. But I never know what I'm looking for since I seem to buy everything!

By the way, my list was not meant to be by order of preferance. I try to avoid Ebay as best as possible. But if you have no local stores to utilize, then it is a viable option...

question on bestbuy return without receipt. when after xmas will the accept returns and will they hassle me on such a return?

[rjd72285]

Went in there yesterday after work knowing that the b1g1 sale might be over and select titles only. Checked out the blu-ray section for a list but nothing. Asked a girl stocking dvds if they still had the b1g1 sale on blu rays goin on, she said yeah. Then I asked if it was select titles she said no it was anything 29.99 or under, so I said sweet. Picked up 4 movies, 3 for 29.99 and 1 for 24.99. Went to the register and they rang up full price, told her that the lady had told me they were b1g1. She called her over and she said yeah they should be b1g1. The register lady and another lady who worked there both said that they thought there was a list to go off of, but the lady that was stocking the dvds said no it's for all 29.99 and under, apparently the previous day she had rung up a few people and had to put the b1g1 sale on those, not sure exactly. But the register lady said ok and manually overrode the prices to be half off. She might've messed up as I got 2 movies for 12.50 and 2 movies for 15.00. So yeah I got super super lucky and am proud of it.

[kenbenobi]

Every year for as long as I can remember (including last year), you can return up to $100 worth of merchandise after Christmas for credit. You need a DL or state ID, and you can't make more then 3 returns. They usually give you one full month, so you'd have until approx. Jan. 25.
