Chelsea:
655 Sixth Ave. (between 20th and 21st St.)
212 229-1005

7 days- 9:30am - 10:30pm

Examples with links to Amazon's prices:
Tex Avery's Droopy $6.99
Aeon Flux- The Complete Animated Collection $6.99...some sets even have the Target Exclusive Cards
American Gangster 3-Disc Collector's Edition $6.99
Hot Fuzz 3-Disc Collector's Edition $6.99

Re: NYC: new B&M DVD bargain store

Forgot to add that evrything is brand-new, factory sealed. Their more current titles are overpriced as are their limited BluRay selections.

I walked by the Union Square store the other day, but didn't have time to browse. Thanks for posting.

Re: NYC: new B&M DVD bargain store

I stopped by last night. There are some great deals on DVDs. No Blu-rays though..

Here's the ad they are running in some local NYC newspapers:

Re: NYC: new B&M DVD bargain store

This place (actually both locations) is right around the corner from me. I've picked up Hot Fuzz, a couple of SCTV box sets for $10 each, and the complete Danger Mouse series for around $17. Good stuff. Lots of oldies and many CD sets too.

Re: NYC: new B&M DVD bargain store

The Broadway location has a limited selection of overpriced BluRays on a endcap rack by the registers.

Some more examples:
Midnight Cowboy (Two Disc Collector's Edition) $5.99
Yankee Doodle Dandy (2 Disc Special Edition) $5.99
Warner Legends Collection (7 discs) $21.99 discontinued by manufacturer
La Femme Nikita Complete Second Season $9.99
The Complete OC Season 2 $6.99

You might want to pay attention to the price tags because some titles occasionally had 2 different prices.

Re: NYC: new B&M DVD bargain store

Don't make the mistake of not buying Cracker season 2: it's the best season of perhaps the best crime series that was ever made. For $6 it's a very good deal, I think it retails for about $30-40.

A caveat: you are looking for the Granada Cracker TV series with Robbie Coltrane, not the US one.

I think the Village Voice and the free NY Metro you get in the morning near all subway stations. It was just an ad, no coupon...

With the ad it looks like the $5.99 titles are 2 for $10. That's the coupon I mentioned.

Whoops!! You are right. I guess I should have read it a little closer. Try printing the image I posted. They may take it.

Re: NYC: new B&M DVD bargain store

I'll look for the ad in the AM papers but it's not in the newest Village Voice.

Stopped in today (B'way) and saw they've added some great titles:
Prisoner Cell Block H Set 2 $6.99 "The cult phenomenon from Down Under"...a hodgepodge of 12 episodes of the 690 aired on Aussie TV; but does include the first four on Disc 1. Deliciously cheesy.
The Unbearable Lightness of Being (Two-Disc Edition) $5.99

Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats (4 disc set) $5.99
Rob Zombie 3-Disc Collector's Set $6.99
plus some markdowns...La Femme Nikita S2 now $6.99

Grabbed the NY Metro coming out of Penn Station yesterday morning. It had the ad. Hoping to stop by after work in the next week or 2.

Their website is not up yet - strange. However, they are on twitter, and they also have a page on Facebook

The Sixth Avenue store has a bunch of HD-DVDs for $5.99, including Season 4 of Nip/Tuck. I don't have an HD-DVD player so I don't know if these are good prices, but just FYI for those interested.

So...any update on when their website will be up? Can't exactly go check out the B&M store since I'm in CA.

Re: NYC: new B&M DVD bargain store

I stopped in on Friday and saw a couple new titles, in particular...
The Fall of the Roman Empire (3 disc limited collector's edition) for $6.99.
Here's Amazon listing of it for details of contents.
Also saw Indie Sex for $6.99 with the lenticular slipcase.

I'd be all over that if I didn't already have the 2-disc. Oh well.

Looks to be another store that gets clearance merchandise like Big Lots, Ross, etc.

Re: NYC: new B&M DVD bargain store

Update: their website is still non-existant although supposedly there is someone "working" on it.

Did see some new hot deals at the Union Square location.
Casablanca: Ultimate Collector's Edition $6.99; sells for $53.99 at DVDEmpire
Rat Pack Ultimate Collector's Edition $6.99; sells for $52.99 at DVDEmpire
Many of the previous titles have sold out.

Note: Also saw the Ultimate Collector's Edition of Rio Bravo for $6.99 (MSRP $39.99) and the HBO miniseries Five Days for $5.99. If you go to buy the Rat Pack set, be aware that some sets are priced at $9.99. Tell them you saw it for $6.99 on Sat. if they don't ring it up for the lower price.

Nothing to speak of at the Broadway location. Two minor titles only.
