Re: Amazon Blu-ray Discounts and Deals Thread #27
Yes. I purchased 2 copies of Brave and used the coupon. Picked up a couple of video games that were not on sale anywhere else. I spent a total of 20 minutes counting the time from when I left the house to arriving back home (3 miles round trip). I parked close (100 feet from the door), walked to electronics, picked up the items (no lines/crowd - much like a typical Saturday afternoon at this store), stopped to look through the Skylanders figures (picked up a couple of exclusive glow-in-the-dark variants), checked out (no line), back to the car and home. I could have looked through the other displays with no issue had I been so inclined. There were *no* protesters of any type. The longest time I spent in the store was waiting for the checker to figure out how to get the theft prevention device off the BR packages. To put in perspective I went about 6:30pm. I saved ~$40 on the games and whatever the savings on Brave is after paying ~$13 for 2 copies. In my book that's a "win". 
As a rule I don't have any problems. But with the sales people go nuts over saving a little amount. They forget the cost of the gas to get there, and their time (How much do you make a hour?). I did go out but it was not to pickup the sales items. No need to, they where all gone. If you are going there to get other items then great. Its just the cost of getting there. But to go for a sales item and not get the item you wanted, or even went there for is a waste. It add up.
To be fair to you. I did go there today for Candy. I had 5 party bags of it. You can see I have it, and twice before I got to my truck I was asked. If I wanted to buy Candy to support. An other asked for change.
BTW I am up to 20 Blu-Rays & 7 3D so far this week. All from Amazon.com

i woudn't necessarily say it disgraced the name (the PQ and AQ was stellar), but c'mon...the whole plot is the Queen turns into a bear?? i honestly thought it was about a young woman who becomes badass and saves the village or something. and yet the end
it was just a dumb movie and poorly executed.

No kidding. It's a pathetic display by everyone who discussed and revealed details of the movie in a damn bargain discussion. Some of us avoid movie discussion threads to avoid things like this. I hope the moderators remove the posts and ban for a time anyone who revealed details.

Question for anyone who knows.
I bought Pretty Little Liars season 2 yesterday for $16.99. The item already shipped when I found it at Walmart last night for $9.96. So I picked it up at Walmart in the madness last night.
Does Amazon make you pay for postage to return an item?

Can't refuse the package. Bought some other shit with it and it's packed together. Hopefully postage isn't more than 2 bucks or so. I mean I saved $7 getting it at Walmart.

Just pay it yourself. Amazon will give you a full refund. It'll cost ya probably $2.25 or so to ship it back.

I've made many returns and I've never had to pay a restocking fee.
Now I'm bummed, I got Pretty Little Liars at Amazon too. Knew I should have waited a while longer to get it for $10 since Season 1 was $10 last year at Walmart as well.

scott was stupid about it. But I wouldn't ban him. That'd be a bitch move.
I am slightly disappointed that I now know wtf that movie was about. Kind of wanted to figure that out myself. I'm not one to bitch about spoilers when it's in the review thread but it bothers me here though.

But no one should get banned!
