Nope, just something similar to the HBO graphic on the previous page, where it says $10 off Fox movie collections.
Most places won't price match discount clubs like Costco anyway.
Just got back from Iwilei Costco, for you Hawaii people, and there were lots of BoB for $30.

Yep, saw that as well. Mine had a TON of these (they were actually the cardboard holder thingys that you take up to the front).
Probably worth the $30, but I only really LOVED the first one. The newest one was such a crappy movie (though I imagine it looks and sounds really good in Blu-Ray).

Is the Spidey collection also $29.99?

re: Costco discounts and deals on Blu-ray
Sorry, nope...it is $49.99 - $10 instant rebate = $39.99 unfortunately....
Same with the Resident Evil trilogy....I probably would have grabbed that one at $29.99 after discount (since I waited too long when Amazon was offering it at that price point a few weeks ago), but $39.99 is too much in my book for it....
I did grab my $9.99 after discount copy of Big Trouble In Little China yesterday though!

re: Costco discounts and deals on Blu-ray
Thanks for the heads up on these, I hardly ever look that close at the magazine. Went there today and picked up Band of Brothers, Die Hard, and the Spider-man collections.
For $100 total it's hard to beat 7 different movies PLUS a top notch 10 hour series! I guess that would be more like 12 movies on blu for $100.

Inside the box : Disc 1: Original Theatrical Version, Disc 2 : Special Edition, Disc 3: Director's Cut, and a Collector Book. A good deal for me since Amazon still sells it at $ 31.99.
HTH.

re: Costco discounts and deals on Blu-ray
Are you sure about that? I went to Costco to get BOB for $30 so I picked up a copy and asked the cashier to scan it if it was really $30 but it showed $45. What the hell?! I ended up buying at BB but now, I don't know what to do. Do the $15 rebate come off automatically it's scanned in the register? I'm confused!!!!

re: Costco discounts and deals on Blu-ray
NOPE!! I struck out twice. Band of Brothers was sold out at both of the Costcos I went to, Yonkers, NY on Friday and Waterbury, CT today. DAMN!!
I guess I'll pay $37 for it at Best Buy this week.
Anyone else having as much trouble as I am??

It's confirmed that 30th Anniversary Ultimate Edition Close Encounters of the Third Kind 3disc Blu-Ray box price is $14.99 before tax. I bought it today @ @ Costco Fairfax,VA.
Inside the box : Disc 1: Original Theatrical Version, Disc 2 : Special Edition, Disc 3: Director's Cut, and a Collector Book. A good deal for me since Amazon still sells it at $ 31.99.

I'm not disputing the price, as I have seen the BD version at Costco for $14.99 as well myself....

re: Costco discounts and deals on Blu-ray
Dang, sucks that you guys aren't finding them at your local Costco's. Mine had like 6 of them OUT on Friday, though i would bet they are all gone now. Try asking someone though as sometimes they have BOXES of stuff below the display counter. Maybe they just haven't put more out.
BTW, this is (in my opinion) THE best mini-series EVER!! Even if your not into war stuff (which I am) it's worth it for the historical aspect as well as the epicness of it. lol I have watched my regular DVD version at least 8 times so this Blu-ray will be replacing it.
Can't wait for The Pacific.

re: Costco discounts and deals on Blu-ray
You sure you didn't grab the DVD version there by mistake? The BD version is only two discs, not three (which the DVD version is).....if you have three discs, then you're going to have to make a return unfortunately....
I'm not disputing the price, as I have seen the BD version at Costco for $14.99 as well myself....

On another note Band of Brothers in blu was pain in the neck to find. I went to Yonkers, Port Chester, and finally New Rochelle NY on Saturday. I finally found one copy, which I bought, in New Rochelle sort of hidden among The Supranos Season 1 blu-rays. If they had stock it seems to have gone the first day of the rebate, which was Friday the 18th.

re: Costco discounts and deals on Blu-ray
Well I just blind-bought Band of Brothers so I can finally see it. You guys better be right about it. I'm sure I'll sell it when I'm done, whether I like it or not. I got the only non-dented one they had.
I also picked up Close Encounters for my dad.
Not bad for a total < $50.

re: Costco discounts and deals on Blu-ray
Brooklyn, NY Costco had the following:
15+ copies of Band of Brothers, at least a few pristine ones too
~10 copies of John Adams
~7 copies of Sopranos S1
15+ copies of Close Encounters of the Third Kind
8-10 copies of various blu-rays that had instant coupon ($3 off selected Fox, $6 off selected Holiday, $6 off selected $18.99) see here for more details.
They had a good amount of selections. Angel Heart was $7.99 as well if you prefer to buy it locally instead of on Amazon.com.

re: Costco discounts and deals on Blu-ray
I tried to pick up BoB today at the La Habra Costco, of course they were picked clean. I asked for a search of all the So Cal locations, the only store within 50 miles that had any was the Inglewood store, they had 20+ copies. I wasn't about to deal with crazy Christmas Eve LA traffic to go into the 'hood' to save $15. I'll wait until next year when this is selling for under $25 on Amazon (pure speculation on my part).
The thing about this Inglewood Costco location, this is the store that I could always rely on when the Disney Treasures were super hard to find a few years back. They always had deep stacks of everything, I'm talking a good couple months after their release date, and not to stereotype a demographic but (okay maybe just a little) I get a funny feeling that DVDs aren't the highest priority for this surrounding community. This is also the only Costco that I have ever been to that is surrounded by a ten foot high locking rod iron fence. Pretty sketchy part of town.
