I have been following the news that I broke. (So I did miss it 'cause I scrolled forward).


Sorry about that.

Speedy, you, as always, are awesome.

Too bad this thread is going to be drowned out by Blu-Ray arguments.

At least my all time favorite site (DVDTalk) is getting some recognition across the internet from something I posted.

And I'm still getting to help people and save them money!

Thank you.

I may be a failed comedian but I'm a hell of a reporter.

MUCHO APPRECIADO!!!!!!

Awesome for speedy.

Too bad the ad has little of interest to me otherwise--but it's worth it for getting speedy recognition

Thanks a ton for posting, I am a long-time weekly Thursday reader.

It's a bit complex both by necessity and design.


Nice to meet you nlyonssmith.

While I still dunno about getting a PS3, a few $4.99 DVD titles will find their way into my home.

Thanks, Speedy! As always, you are a tremendous value to the DVDTalk/CAG community.

And some well deserved props for a huge heads up. It's about time he is shown worldwide (a bit exagerrated) respect for his efforts.

Thanks for the ad speedy. It's been a slow summer for DVD's thus far, nothing for me again. Of course I appreciate your effort.

Please, everyone who wants to debate PS3/XBox, HD/BR, please keep the discussion to the appropriate threads. This thread is for pricing and sales only.

Thanks for the prices, Speedy! I hope you had a great 4th of July!

And...I'm sorry to have to do this, but, everyone keeps mentioning the battle between the Microsoft XBOX 360 and the Sony PS3, but, nobody has mentioned that it's the little guy, the Nintendo Wii, that has been kicking both of their asses and taking their names, and it doesn't have HD-DVD or Blu-Ray!

Now, back to the regularly scheduled program!

I know I am just a new member but......Congrats on the articles Speedy. I wonder if they notified you about your reference before those articles went up.

I am a little embarrassed to ask you for the third straight time about the same item, but could you please tell me the LCD computer monitor deals at CC for this week. I just haven't found that knockout deal, but I will buy one soon regardless, and you have been a huge help in my shopping.

As always, your the greatest Speedy! Thanks

So, a PS3 is now worth $50 Reward Zone with BB "Summer of Entertainment promotion. Where I live the PS3 would $531 with tax, but $50 in RZ certificates makes that $481. Not a bad deal, a little cheaper than tax free websites (Amazon)

Whoa. Didn't think about that special reward zone program going on. This will make me finally seriously consider picking one up. I had about decided on a 360 but have held back. This may make me finally jump on board.

What makes you think video game hardware is eligible for this promotion? I read the fine print as "movies, music, and games" - all software. If hardware truly is applicable, I'd love to see proof so I can justify myself a 360 purchase.

Knowing BB you're probably right, I guess wishful thinking on my part

What exactly is this promotion? I'm going to shoot for picking up a PS3 at BB, too. Also, if the price drop is supposed to hit July 12, I guess I should try and head up there then? Thanks for the info, speedy! I've been wanting to go BR.

Just go to http://www.myrewardzone.com , log in, sign up. It just means when you use your RZ card and spend $100 on music, movies, or games you get $10 back in certificates. 10% back is pretty damn good, but it won't apply to video game consoles so don't expect to get $50 back from a PS3. The promotion runs through 8/25 and you don't have to spend $100 all at once.
