HOT Deal - Saw Trilogy Out Early and Only $21 @ Blockbuster!

Sabrett · 10-15-07, 08:24 PM

I picked up the Saw Trilogy tonight at Blockbuster. It was out early (which I hear it is at most Blockbusters). It's marked for $27.99, which I thought was an awesome price considering it's going for $38 on Amazon.

To my surprise, when I went to purchase it, it rang up as $27.99 with an automatic $6.99 instant coupon, which brought it to $21.

Already own the other sets (other than SIII DC), but if it's only going to be $22, might go ahead and pick that up since the DC could be around $18.

Is that the official packaging? Or is that an exclusive thing at blockbuster?

Official packaging, as far as I know. It said nothing about it being exclusive to them.

That's the Was Trilogy. I want the Saw Trilogy.

dcprules · 10-15-07, 10:52 PM

Does it come with a ticket for the new Saw IV? Even if it doesn't, good deal (which, is it just me, or has there been a ton of great deals lately?).

Nope, no ticket. Unless a different store is going to offer it as an exclusive.

I'm sorry, I'll run off and retake all the pictures to make you happy.

You're welcome.

Great, now I have to go to Blockbuster and get this. Huzzah!

thedrizzle · 10-15-07, 11:06 PM

Thanks for the info. I'll have to stop over and see if my blockbuster has this on Tuesday. I only have Saw 1 uncut and I don't own 2 or 3 so this is a pretty good deal.

Do you have to be a member to get that price?

tofferman · 10-16-07, 12:25 AM

Knowing my luck, that is the price for corporate-owned stores versus the franchise-owned stores here in Bend and Redmond, Oregon...I hope I'm wrong. Thanks for the info op!

Nope, never gave them my card, and they never asked for it.

The Monkees · 10-16-07, 12:59 AM

Hey that says $27.99 not $21.99

Sabrett, was it a franchise or a corporate store?

I know. Which is why there was the whole explanation in the initial post saying it is $27.99, but it rings up with a $6.99 instant coupon, making it $21, not $21.99, or $27.99

Not 100% positive, but I think it is a corporate store

sinizine · 10-16-07, 02:26 AM

Most stores are putting it out as a mistake. Myself, working at one when we assembled the display, deciced to find out if it was out yet, and it says 10/23 in the system. So it IS a mistake, and likely going to be corrected soon, so if you want this I'd call your local store first, as I imagine district mamnagers will be emailing people telling them to take them down soon.

DVDMagic · 10-16-07, 06:55 AM

Haven't been to Blockbuster in forever, but might have to head over to the local one when I get a break at work today and see what they have. If they don't have that, then maybe some decent PPV titles that might be worth picking up.

MrPink · 10-16-07, 08:16 AM

Is there anything new to this set versus the 2 disc stand alones?

haleyxvader · 10-16-07, 08:25 AM

Makes me wish i was a fan of those movies, its a pretty nice looking trilogy set

FunkDaddy J · 10-16-07, 12:41 PM

YMMV, but I just stopped at my local Blockbuster to find the set stickered for $19.99. The guy rang it up and said it must be mispriced (computer said $27.99), but honored the sticker. Then, the instant $6.99 coupon came up, and he honored that too.
