Mission Impossible and MI:2 for $5.00 at Best Buy

wajedi · 09-11-04, 03:19 PM

These and several others are normally listed as $10.00 at Best Buy, but if you grab one of the free Sky Captain preview DVD's, there is a $5.00 off coupon for a list of Paramount DVD's which includes: MI:1 and 2, Talented Mr. Ripley, Sum of All Fears, and a few others I cant recall. Just thought I would let you all know.

$5 off is good for Paycheck, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Cradle of Life, Escape From LA, Ghost In The Darkness & The Saint in addition to titles noted above. Coupon is good until Christmas Eve 2004.

TJ22584 · 09-11-04, 06:21 PM

So the skycaptain preview DVD is free? And you get a 5.00 coupon?

I'm there.

nice.

tanman · 09-12-04, 04:05 AM

Can we please change the title to OR instead of AND?

young · 09-12-04, 04:13 PM

i went ahead and picked up mi, mi2, saint and ripley's. w/ the coupons, i paid $23 so not too shabby even though these aren't the greatest.

thanks for the heads up.

Mikes95XLT · 09-12-04, 10:18 PM

Picked up Ghost And The Darkness and Sum of All Fears... I bought one and the g/f bought one.

bowsernieb · 09-12-04, 11:01 PM

So can we get a full list of titles and prices after coupon? Or was that list at the top the complete list. Appreciate it.

Lastblade · 09-12-04, 11:08 PM

Nice! I need to get MI1 and Ripley.

eau · 09-13-04, 01:42 AM

MI1 is nonamorphic, right?

I should probably pick this up instead of waiting perpetually for an upgraded edition...

QuanTum · 09-13-04, 01:56 AM

Mission Impossible is definitely NONANAMORPHIC. I was going to buy it today until I checked the specs. Picked up The Saint and Sum of All Fears.

Here is the COMPLETE list (Note: some are not $9.99 titles)
Paycheck
Talented Mr. Ripley
Tomb Raider
TR: Cradle of Life
Escape from LA
MI
MI:2
Sum of All Fears
Ghost in Darkness
Saint

eau · 09-13-04, 02:11 AM

Which ones are $9.99 titles?

that's how i felt... for $5, i'm willing to just get the current non-anamorphic version.

HumanResearch · 09-13-04, 03:25 PM

Sum of all Fears is listed at 9.99 at their website.

darmok · 09-13-04, 05:17 PM

do they simply scan the back of the free dvd, or do they actually rip off the entire tab containing the UPC?

cubsfan · 09-13-04, 05:30 PM

The coupon is on the packaging of the free DVD. Basically you rip off the back flap of the package. Got MI1 myself yesterday..

The hottie girl did not rip off the back for me. Just scanned it an dropped it in the bag, everything intact.

I'm guessing this will be a YMMV, since there is rarely any consistency at BB.

icruise · 09-13-04, 07:05 PM

They had like a thousand of the free preview DVDs at the BB I went to, so if it really bothers you that they rip it (assuming they do) just go get another one.

No. See this page at widescreen.org:
Anamorphic (16:9) DVD

TJ22584 · 09-21-04, 01:38 AM

Just got Ripley from Best Buy for about 6 bucks. I'm trying to decide between Mission Impossible, The Sum of All Fears and the ghost and the darkness. Any ideas?

Should I just get all 3? $15 isn't bad at all for 3 DVDs.

chamfer · 09-21-04, 02:36 AM

Where are these preview dvd's? I went to my local best buy and didn't see any.

eau · 09-21-04, 05:41 AM

Yes. These are preview dvd's in silver-ish cardboard sleeve. The flap of the sleeve is the coupon.
