Re: Best Buy / bestbuy.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray
I don't know what people are doing with the Goo Gone, but I've used it dozens of times to successfully remove the glue from slipcovers...even partially removed stickers can be easily cleaned up. First, I use a blowdryer to warm and soften the glue. Then I gently peel the sticker s l o w l y applying a bit more heat as I go along. If there is any residual glue, I get nice clean terry cloth and spray just a small dot of goo gone on the cloth and gently rub the glue away. I then polish with a soft micro fiber cloth to lift any remaining goo gone. I buy many used discs with slipcovers that have partially torn stickers. In those cases, i add just a bit of goo gone to the sticker after I warmed it up with the blow dryer and gently scrape the sticker off using my fingernail....never ruined a slipcover using goo gone and I have well over 1400 Blus.
The Sony Savestation was fully stocked today so I grabbed the three 2-Packs that were available at 3 for $20. I grabbed "Bad Boys I & II," "21/22 Jumpstreet," and "The Raid Collection." Not bad, 6 movies for $20....and each movie is in its own keepcase and they are housed in nice double wide slipcovers.

I've also had good luck with Goo Gone; but if they've changed the formula I have not tried the new one; it's been years. Somewhere I still have a 3/4 full bottle in one of the boxes I still haven't unpacked since my move of a year ago!

Re: Best Buy / bestbuy.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray
I'm not aware if they changed the formula but I have a bottle purchased recently and I've used it with no negative results. I think it just takes patience to remove the stickers successfully. I find heating the sticker with a blowdryer is the best first step to removing them. You can remove most glue by slowly tapping the remaining glue with a piece of scotch tape wrapped on your finger or the sticker you removed...the gentle tapping usually lifts the remaining glue. But again doing it gently will prevent losing the printed layer on your slipcover. Goo Gone is always the last resort.

Just a head's up. Best Buy now has "The Phantasm Collection" on sale for $59.99. Amazon has followed suit (that's a surprise) LOL. I prefer Best Buy since I get paid back for my patronage with free shipping, extended return time, easy price-matching, rewards points and local employment opportunities for my community. There's no need to fork over $100 to the b*st*rds at Amazon.

Shows up fine for me, and holdable at all the potential stores in two different states where I could foreseeably pick it up if I needed it. As slick as it is, though, I'm skeptical that they'll completely disappear from the Marketplace any time soon.

I remember when Amazon was the trendsetter. There is still quite a bit I order from Amazon. The difference in pricing for accessories, cords, cases and the like is staggering. But most of the time I prefer to deal with BB. Either go to the store or get the free shipping. Plus just about any media I buy I get free or reduced with my RZ. I for one hope BB sticks around.

Amazon charges you a higher sales tax then BB? They both charge me the same, 10.x %.

It still excited me....! An excellent value at $59.99 and the opportunity to inspect the package to make sure it was pristine. I rarely pre-order an longer.

I really don't want to have to deal with any arguments sparked from this, so if someone gets the urge to vent in response, take it to the Politics forum. Thanks!

I wholeheartedly agree. This is not the place for political discussion. But why didn't you just delete the offending post? That would have been far more effective (and fair) rather than quoting and then, of course, repeating the statement. That being said, I am passionate about the first amendment. I thoroughly enjoy reading Breitbart but do as little business with Amazon as possible.

Re: Best Buy / bestbuy.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray
Users generally argue that it's unfair to delete posts. Unless it's a spammer, something really egregious, or someone persisting after a mod warning, I move/warn rather than delete. I know there's no ill intention behind what was posted, so I figured a friendly "hey, let's not go down this road" is fine.

I understand your point-of view Adam. However, these guys drop those types of comments here and at other forums and the people who respond end up getting the reprimand or suspension. I've been banned elsewhere (unsuccessfully) and I don't particularly give a rat's patoot. I believe leaving such comments unchallenged means acquiescence. Many are growing weary of such selective discipline here and elsewhere. If the comment was inappropriate for the thread then it should have simply been removed and a personal message and warning sent to the offender. Granted, that's just my opinion and I'm not the crossing guard here.

Fine, MSNBC is awesome, I totally love it's balls on my forehead.
Adam, can you reprimand me so there's some sense of equality.
