Thanks speedy! You wouldn't happen to know if the Sex & The City Complete Series also comes with the free movie ticket? I've been waiting for the price to go down, and for $110 I don't think I can pass it up, with or without the movie ticket.

That's should give you an idea of what they carry.Yep, the Magnolia rep at my local store told me that he expects the 65" Mitsubishi Diamond to go on sale soon. I'm either getting a 60"+ HDTV or a projector and I'm on the fence huge right now. If that 65" Mitsubishi Diamond ever dipped to $2499-$2599 (which is the price point the rep expects for a sale), I'd probably bite instantly.

Thanks for the help and quick response, as always.

It's odd that the ad lists Frontier(s) coming out on May 6th, becuase the release date has been May 13th for quite some time (which is even what it states on their website).

If it doesn't come out until the 13th, I hope they'll still honor the $14.99 price.

wildzero84
05-01-08, 02:38 PM
yeah, that is why i was curious to see the actual ad davejt1, because i couldn't understand why they would list it a week before it actually drops. i kinda hope they(or at least the store by me) break the release date and put out some copies early, considering it's in the ad and all :)

btw, the msrp on that disc is $14.99 ...so that's what it's gonna be no matter when or where you get it from.

I was hoping for the same thing.

When Inside came out, I got it for $14.99, which I thought was the MSRP. The following week, it was up to $19.99. Therefore, I wondered if the same situation would happen here. But if $14.99 is both the MSRP and the advertised price, then no worries.

Rome is wayyyyy to expensive. $54.99 is like regular price for me. It's been down to $29.99 for both seasons, and I would wait yet again for that price to hit. Maybe around Memorial Day.

My damn Best Buy didn't have any Movie Money for Sex & The City: The Movie. I asked 'em, and they said they had no idea when it was coming in. What happened to the 2 per title per store minimum? I'm about to call customer service and complain.

I had the same problem with Narnia tickets. Actually, I asked the workers and they said they were prepackaged in the DVDs with the sticker, but based on the ticket being sold on bestbuy.com for $10 I am thinking that it is seperate like most other free movie ticket offers. Anyone else have any luck with these?

The Best Buy here had Frontier(s) out for sale today at $14.99. The limited theatrical premeire isn't even until Friday, so this was a nice slip up. :)
