I have a question for anyone who has seen the free Resident Evil: Apocalypse movie ticket that comes with the Resident Evil Deluxe Edition DVD:

Is it "Movie Cash" (which is good at Harkins but not at AMC Theaters) or is it something else that is good at AMC Theaters for up to $7.50 (matinees are $6.50 I think)?

I live within a mile of an AMC Theater complex but I'm almost 10 miles away from Harkins. Knowing where the ticket is good at does make a difference to me on borderline purchases (because I already own the previous Resident Evil DVD and it sounds like this release only adds a handful of extras).

I picked up the 5-Star Die Hard (I didn't know there was another one) and Donnie Darko for $15. They didn't want to do it, but I pointed out that there is no other version of Die Hard available and he gave it to me...

Thanks for doing the format like this, but if it takes too much time, I think you can skip italicizing the prices...it's the way you bold the store names & sections that makes it easier to read.

if its a movie cash ticket, like the one that came with Predator, couldn't you check moviecash.com to see what theaters in your area accept it?

After looking around some websites, it looks like there is a bare bones Die Hard coming out on Tuesday with a $14.95 MSRP.

http://entertainment.circuitcity.com...=FOX2223349DVD

So maybe this is what they are referring to in their ad?

I saw this at Best Buy today. It looks like it's just the first disc of the Five Star Edition but it probably has a different disc art than the 5-Star version.

Yeah, that's probably what's going on. I went to CC today, trying to pick up Die Hard (and Jason X) in the 2 for $15 sale. But they didn't have any copies of Die Hard, in either the sale display bin, or anywhere else in the store, as far as I could see. Then I overheard one the sales people telling a customer that they had a bunch of copies in the back, but they couldn't put them out today. So I left without getting anything, figuring on trying again later in the week. I was pretty puzzled about this, but now it all makes sense - they must be waiting for the Tuesday release of the new version.

asianxcore, I already know that moviecash is good at Harkins and not at AMC Theaters from their web site. I'm trying to find out before Tuesday and before I try to buy Resident Evil Deluxe Edition it if it's Movie Cash (like Predator) or some other ticket type I could use at AMC.

I think I'll make a new thread so more people will see it.

Same here. But I was planning on going on Tuesday, anyway, so no big deal... Alias and Clerks w/20% off coupons for me!

Good stuff today at BB. Clerks X only rang up at $19.99, and I used the $5 off coupon for Jersey Girl. I bought Ladykillers also so it gave me $5 off that (for buying Ladykillers and JG) to make that $12.99. Finally, on the Sky Captain dvd, it has a coupon for $5 off some Paramout titles. I used that to pick up The Saint. So my receipt looked something like this:

Clerks X $19.99
Jersey Girl $14.99
Ladykillers $12.99
The Saint $4.99

Also, Murder on the Orient Express is $10 in store, as opposed to the $13 it shows on the website. My BB had a sign up for Star Trek and had no copies on the shelf.

This is great! I was going to pick up Clerks X at Target and get the free popcorn with The Punisher, but I guess I'm off to Best Buy for Clerks X.
