Amazon is pretty much matching the Best Buy $8.99 sale for the week. They also have Dark Crystal, Taxi Driver, It's a Wonderful Life, Serenity, etc for $8.99 each.

Is this the steelbook version? I don't want to end up with another non steelbook version as I did with the one I ordered from Deepdiscount. They sent me the version with a slipcover. I am going to return this to them.

It's very possible that you'll get the slipcover, the steelbooks are being phased out.

I just ordered this last week from Amazon and it was not the Steelbook version. Quick switch with a Best Buy Order and I was golden.

TheJoker

Do they share the same UPC numbers?....

I could always check around if CC has the steelbook and try to price match for that...and then switch it with my Amazon one...I just ordered and didnt know about this...

bluetoast

Yes, they have the same UPC.

TheJoker

Awesome....that really gives me hope now. Im going to scour my CC tomorrow and price match.

Thanks for that.

The ones at Best Buy were slipcover, but for $8.99 I bought it anyway.

mike01

Actually I just picked up this at BB non-steelbook and the disc id is the same but the upc on the cover is differant.

I'd actually PREFER the slipcover version.

Am I right in assuming that I can find one at Best Buy?

Preferably for $8.99?

Just came back from Best BUy. They had tons of slipcase ones.

They had separate sale section where they put bunch of Robocop and other $8.99 DVDs, but it was all slipcase. So I checked out the regular "action" section of the store and luckily for me, they had one tin edition left. Paid $8.99 and I am happy now

IG80Nate

ah, much obliged.

Just picked one up, very much worth the extremely long wait in line.

Grabbed Dr. Strangelove 40th Anniversary (2 disc). I believe the latest version of Taxi Driver is worth it for the extras alone, even if the picture still isn't perfect they did adjust the colors to a more suitable palette. Serenity is the new collectors edition with DTS.

i got mine from best buy and the DTS audio track did not play on disc 2... so i'm gonna have to send it to get it looked at

i had heard of such problems but since i thought there was no way that the problem could have made it all the way to where i live (south texas), there wouldn't be a problem but i was wrong

tonyjg

so - have we 'established' that if you order from Amazon that you will not get the steelbook ??

blued888

Anybody else had similar problems as bledfordays stated?

TheJoker

I think so, I still havent been able to get a steelbook copy too...
My DVDs will be coming tomorrow so we will see.

sandman007

No steelbook for me. But I switched it out with a copy from FYE.

StrTrkker

No steelbook either for me, will check out another Best Buy near me since the one here in town is out and do an exchange...

I was expecting to NOT receive the steelbook, but it turns out I did Mine was shipped from Seattle, so it probably depends on which distribution center you receive it from.

Thanks to the commentors who pointed out that BB also had Robocop on sale this week. I would have entirely missed it otherwise.

Just got back from there this evening, and there was one steelbook and one slipcase left. So I scored the last steelbook

BB apparently had many titles on sale for $8.99 this week, but those shelf spaces were about 98% emptied out...

5.50 average price thru CH

This was dropped from Columbia House a month or so ago. That's where I had planned to get mine until it was dropped.
