[shyguy1083]

thanks for the early prices! interested to see what other series are included in the 50% off sale...

[erlong]

Seinfeld set won't get much cheaper than that. Must pick up.

[kstublen]

In for the Seinfeld Set. Just hope my Best Buy has 'em in stock still. Tempted to buy one now and then go back on Sunday and get the price adjusted.

[joecansee]

Does Best Buy have different packaging for the seinfeld set?

[Maxflier]

Would have been awesome if Blu-Ray was included in that 50% off tv sets deal. Oh well...

[kstublen]

Does Best Buy have different packaging for the seinfeld set?

I believe they have the regular release inside a special fridge package that includes bonus magnets or something.

[mvckalel]

I might pick up that Seinfeld set...and some of those $9.99 movies...thanx OP.

[Big Worms]

Thanks OP!

[zekeburger1979]

Smallville Seasons 1,2,3 and 7 (don't ask) are available at Wal-Mart for $19.95 each. So is Sopranos and Big Love Season 1 as well as the first 4 or 5 seasons of 24.

[ValeTudoChokeOu]

Wow...not a peep about Fight Night Round 4? Damn...

[kefrank]

solid prices on the BD digibooks. i'll be picking up the Matrix for sure.

[jackson walker]

I can't tell if that "Natural Born Killers" Blu-ray is the recent unrated cut, or the previous edited cut. That might be a good buy either way.

[dino88]

I can't tell if that "Natural Born Killers" Blu-ray is the recent unrated cut, or the previous edited cut. That might be a good buy either way.

The unrated cut doesn't come out until October.

[JeffTheAlpaca]

It peaked with Gran Torino a couple weeks ago and now it is going downhill with Pink Panther, confessions of a shopaholic and Friday the 13th as the major releases.


I don't think I will be interested until The Watchmen comes out in late July.

[Snowmaker]

So does Matrix come in a regular case now as pictured, or is that just a mock-up?

Good price on the Dream Theater - Black Clouds & Silver Linings SE. I'm afraid to see the packaging it comes in though. :(

[stingermck]

Hopefully HAWX is either a price drop, or will be on sale for PS3 also.

[jackson walker]

The unrated cut doesn't come out until October.

Thanks for the info.

[naitram]

Might pick up Dirty Harry BR at 14.99, though I don't like the digibooks.

Thanks for the ad scan.

[jeffbase34]

Really curious to know which tv seasons are on sale. Smallville and Lost sale prices are not that great. Been waiting for a price drop on Jesse james blu ray though.

[rexinnih]

In for Amadeus at that price.

[JayDerek]

I'm in for the Matrix blu-ray

[GizmoDVD]

No DigiBook Blu-ray has been re-released in normal packaging (in America). Its simply a mockup. Odd how Amadeus shows in book form though.

[gotrice487]

Thank you for the early prices! Definitely considering the Seinfeld set

[Cartload]

Matrix and Dirty Harry blu-rays look good to me...

[awil1026]

I might pick-up The Matrix.

[SkipKassidy]

Mark-downs will be taken from regular prices.

[SkipKassidy]

Mark-downs will be taken from regular prices.

Well, I was going by the sticker price on the DVD itself. Except for The Sopranos set.

Using the Best Buy Web site as a guide, I've noticed that a few titles are tagged lower in-store than on the site.

For instance: Lost: Season 3

Web site shows it for $49.99
In store it is tagged for $34.99.

Now unless they retag all of the TV series as part of the deal, would that mean the sale price of Lost: Season 3 is $24.99 or $17.50?

I imagine the reg. price is $50 and it'll be $25 on Sunday. Note in the ad that Season 4 will be on sale for $25 and is reg. $50.

[Inhumans99]

Even if BB bumps up the price to full MSRP for the half-off sale, I am all over Burn Notice S2...was waiting to pick that up during DD's bi-annual sale. And just thinking out loud...but here's to hoping The Closer S4 is also part of the sale.

[jeffbase34]

So is this 50% off all tv seasons?

[Kory]

Wish I hadn't bought that Seinfeld set the day it came out. Ugh.

[bluetoast]

How are the other 4 Dirty Harrys? Is the box set worth a blind buy if I only like the first, or should I just buy this one and rent the rest?

Plus..I'm going to have to get a price adjustment on The Shield S7.

[JorgeC]

So is this 50% off all tv seasons?

The ad says "select TV series", so I'm guessing no.

[leitmotif]

So is this 50% off all tv seasons?

No, only all the seasons of a particular series, not all tv seasons.

[ReduxGuy]

Wait, Pink Panther 2's out NEXT week?

I saw a bunch of copies in stock at the Galleria BB in Houston yesterday.

[biglou114]

How are the other 4 Dirty Harrys? Is the box set worth a blind buy if I only like the first, or should I just buy this one and rent the rest?


Well IMO the first is the only film in the series worthy of being on blu. The rest of the films of the series keep on getting a little worse from the previous. So I'd say jump on the first film on blu and search out for the rest of the film on SD.

I've rented them all - the picture quality is a big improvement, but like biglou said, they get progressively worse as far as the films themselves go. I really only need the first two to be happy, but I'd be much more inclined to buy a full set if they came in normal Blu-ray cases...another gimmicky-packaged set. I'll buy the first one and hope the rest get individual releases later.

[KillerCannibal]

I'll grab Beetlejuice for $15.

[scott1598]

is $24.99 for LOST (S4) the best price it has been thus far and is it likely to be $19.99 any time soon? i know Amazon price matched, but they say 1-3 weeks so would rather get in-store pickup when price drops Sunday.

[miamiboy100]

does true blood season 1 fall under the 50% discount?

[SkipKassidy]

does true blood season 1 fall under the 50% discount?

You could just pricematch Target's ad for this week (ends Saturday night) with the price of $24.99.

ABC shows rarely hit $20. Disney is nowhere near as aggressive with their TV on DVD prices as Fox and Universal are with theirs. I've seen Target hit $20 with Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives this year, but still, it's very rare.

[dino88]

Link to $9.99 and $14.99 blu-ray titles. There are a few more than what was pictured in the ad, but nothing too exciting (Space Cowboys, Body Heat, etc). I know the link looks screwed up, but it works. I tested it...

Wow, that's it? Guess I won't be making a trip today.

[Moopher]

I bet that's it online, I'm gonna be heading out in a bit to see if in-store is any different.

On another note, I thought ALL TV DVD was on sale for 50% off today only? Am I wrong?

No they word it to trick you:

ONE DAY ONLY
50% all Seasons
of select tv series
more instore

[kenbenobi]

It sure is pretty select. If the online titles are truly the only ones available, that sale really sucks a$$...

[BravesMG]

If anyone that has been out could let us know if there are additional blu-ray titles for sale in store it would be much appreciated.

[DrPrimo]

NCIS s1-3 are on the website for 22.99 each. Seems to be a good price, but 1 and 2 from another site may be a little less if the sale-that-must-not-be-named happens.

[jeffbase34]

Dropped by my Best Buy for NCIS. They didn't have a single copy of S1-S3. However, I did notice that all seasons of CSI including New York and Miami are on sale for 19.99 each.

[dx23]

There are several MGM Blu-rays for sale. I saw Rocky, Hoosiers, The Terminator and Rocky Balboa for $14.99.

[Theitman]

The CSI sets that are $20 are not every season.

From memory, it was CSI 1-6, CSI: Miami 1-4, and CSI:NY 1-2

All of the crime show/Paramount TV DVDs on sale at BB this week are listed on their website, as well. Only other show I can remember is Criminal Minds Season 1.

[mongoco]

It sure is pretty select. If the online titles are truly the only ones available, that sale really sucks a$$...

the BB i went to today only had those online titles in the one day sale. very disappointed considering the ad text

[Decker]

Thinking about Dirty Harry and my third rebuy of The Matrix at that price. I think if I had the Ultimate Matrix on DVD and the first movie on BR, that would probably be enough for me.

[Trevor]

Looks like Best Buy doesn't have many new release winning prices this week. Comparison thread (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/dvd-bargains/557081-new-release-price-comparisons-week-6-21-09-6-27-09-a.html) done, and BB only ties for the best price for Confessions of a Shopaholic 2 disc SD and Code SD, with other retailers beating them in every other price.

[nycdude]

Matrix is available at Amazon also. free shipping over $25 and no tax for most.

[kenbenobi]

I bought Gothika today. For 10 bucks, I figured why not. But I can't believe how sucky the selection is...

[dx23]

Amazon.com has pricematched the blu-rays on sale at Best Buy.

Anyone buy Code at BB? It has an exclusive featurette that I'm curious about.
