Speedy:

In the DVD sets section, you list Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Season 1, Vol 2. Is there any indication that the other volumes are on sale as well?

Thanks as always with posting the prices! You've saved me a ton of money over the years (or is that "cost" me a lot of money (that I wouldn't have spent otherwise)? :) )

That's the only multi-season series on Page #4 that does not list additional volumes in that series are on sale.

From my perspective as a buyer, I think they will be but we won't know until Sunday.


As I'd be interested in those as well, so let's keep our :fc: JSwarce.

Will be picking up Dark Angel. Thanks a lot speedy!

If you have a Costco nearby, they have Dark Angel for $25.99 for each season and it's BOGO this week! There's a thread elsewhere that has the details.

If I could afford it, I would get the Buffy Seasons 3-7 and Angel Seasons 1-5.

I didn't even realize the Deluxe Edition was a 3-Disc set. I have the Collector's Edition (the "black book" packaging), but may go ahead and pick this one up anyway.

if there is any interest in Firefly, Target is the place to get it THIS week at 17.99. I decided to finally go ahead and get it as a partial blind buy. I've only seen a couple of episodes, but really liked "Serenity".

I'll be picking up Madonna: Hard Candy, Mario Kart Wii, and Walt Disney Classic Caballeros 2 Movie Collection! I'm confused on those higher priced versions of Hard Candy? Are any of them a Special/Deluxe Edition, or, are they only higher because of the downloads and ringtone? There is supposed to be a Special/Deluxe Edition of Hard Candy, but, it appears that they aren't advertising it in any of the ads. Do you have have any information on that, Speedy?

It's just Best Buy's way to get more cash from you.

I suspect that with each additional tier, they'll give you a card good for 5 free downloads or 5 downloads + 1 ringtone.

It doesn't appear to come packaged with the CD itself.

I'm going to use my $50 HD DVD consolation prize and apply it toward the crazy expensive GTA IV Special Edition. $40 is a good price.

BTW, if you have a Meijer credit card, they're doing 20% off general merchandise this Fri. and Sat. (4/25-26), you can pick up an Xbox 360 for $280 which is a better deal than the $50 GC BB is offering.

I appreciate that Speedy & I'll take you up on it. Last time I ordered from bb.com (even when they listed the bonus disc in the ad) they didn't ship me one. That was Blades of Glory. I doubt it'll show up in the ad since it's a limited to 10 per store (not in all b&m 2 disc cases) offer but we'll see tomorrow.

Okay, couple questions: Is the Golden Compass here the 2-Disc PLUS a third disc exclusive to best buy? And if so, anyone know what the extra footage is on the third disc? I've been hearing a lot about an exceptional director's cut so I'm debating on holding off or not.....

And as always, thanks Speedy!

Finally found more info on the Golden Compass bonus disc

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?type=category&id=pcmcat149900050012&ref=10&loc=01

Looks to be included in the package, I don't know if that means in the ACTUAL case or in a separate sleeve a la cloverfield. Either way, with the $5 coupon in today's paper, a 3-disc golden compass for $17.99 ain't bad at all.

JorgeC
04-29-08, 04:20 PM
just got back from Best Buy and the extra disc on not ON the pack (like Cloverfield), so I'm assuming it's inside the case. There is a yellow Best Buy sticker on it that notes it as the 3-disc version and has a slipcover too.

DouglasRobert
04-29-08, 04:34 PM
Yup, the bonus dvd is inside the keep case. Best part is it's not in a sleeve at all, but held in it's on place inside the case.

Why they couldn't have done this for Cloverfield is puzzling to me.

04-30-08, 02:40 PM
Here's a warning to anyone still interested in Monty Python and the Holy Grail Extraordinarily Deluxe 3-Disc Edition - bring proof that it's 7.99. Apparently this was a mistake on Best Buy's part, because if you go to Best Buy's website and look the movie up, the 2-Disc Special Edition is $7.99 and the 3-Disc is $22.99. When I went to the store, it rang up as $22.99 and I had to price match it. If you look at the weekly ad online, and click on the picture for the Holy Grail (which shows the 3-Disc version), it says $7.99. Thankfully, the page that says $7.99 shows the SKU that corresponds with the 3-Disc version, so you should be able to use this to price match (it worked for me). Interestingly enough, when I went to the store today the $7.99 sign was on the 2-Disc version, even though it showed the SKU for the 3-Disc. You could probably use this to price match too. Just be aware that a price match will be necessary if you want to get the cheap price for the 3-Disc version, and as always your mileage may vary.

Here's a warning to anyone still interested in Monty Python and the Holy Grail Extraordinarily Deluxe 3-Disc Edition - bring proof that it's 7.99. Apparently this was a mistake on Best Buy's part, because if you go to Best Buy's website and look the movie up, the 2-Disc Special Edition is $7.99 and the 3-Disc is $22.99. When I went to the store, it rang up as $22.99 and I had to price match it.

a bestbuy near me posted a sign next to the 3-disc stating that the $7.99 price was incorrect :(

Yeah, despite all that, they refused to honor the 3-disc version for me. (They offered the older SE version instead, but that one has a known mastering mistake and should now be avoided in favor of the newer version)

Looks like I was lucky. I'm sorry for everyone else's bad luck with price matching.

Last night I watched the new version for the first time, and the picture is nearly perfect. I don't remember how good the 2-disc version looked, but this one is amazing for a film that's over 30 years old.
