Family Video....99 cent mystery DVD - Page 3

alfonsosoriano · 10-18-08, 12:22 PM

Went in for five. And is it just me or are all the used DVDs that were $5 out of stock now?

Brent L · 10-18-08, 12:38 PM

I don't see any of the used DVDs on the site right now other than You Don't Mess with the Zohan for $12.99.

cinemaphile · 10-18-08, 12:42 PM

uh oh. im getting the feeling maybe the mystery discs ARE used dvd's, and theyre filling all the orders wih the crappy $4.99 stuff

Trevor · 10-18-08, 12:44 PM

In for four, hopefully they end up being at least gift appropriate.

Brent L · 10-18-08, 12:45 PM

While I sure hope not, it wouldn't be the end of the world. They had tons and tons of great used DVDs for $4.99. Many of which were new releases from just the past two or three months.

Groucho · 10-18-08, 12:47 PM

It says right on the description page that these are NEW DVDs.

cinemaphile · 10-18-08, 01:47 PM

I'm curious to see how long this thread gets in 5-10 days when everyone starts posting which titles they received!

leahcim · 10-18-08, 01:51 PM

Description said "NEW" and it also said MSRP of 12.99-29.99.

Of course msrp is misleading IMO. I own Uncle Buck, the MSRP is 19.99 (15-20 years ago), so I am not sure how to take the MSRP thing but who care, at these prices, if I do not want them, I can sell them to almost anyone for 1.25 each.

I'm expecting a lot of this: "Got 5 copies of (insert the worst film you can imagine here), will trade for anything."

leahcim · 10-18-08, 03:56 PM

I hope everyone posts what they recieve and maybe we can do some trading.

Or, "there is no way this has a MSRP of $12. The one title I got that I do like is in fool screen!"

rhodysteve311 · 10-18-08, 05:28 PM

I'm in for five.

I'm figuring that if one of the title's is something I'm interested then, then it's a win. Plus, you can always turn it around easy at Moviestop/FYE/etc. with any promotions they have running.

leahcim · 10-18-08, 05:31 PM

Yup, exactly.

I decided to order 5 more and it went through, that is 10 total. I plan on gifting to the mailman, neighbor and give a few to the goodwill.

iamiam · 10-18-08, 05:51 PM

$5 seemed too much to gamble, so I just got 3

Oh well, I really don't want to do this...but would forever be kicking myself if anyone got anything good.

EDIT: I decided "what the hell" and just placed another order for 5 more. So it positively works. And the coupon is multiple use as well...

Figured out my problem. I was changing the quantity, then clicking 'continue' as opposed to updating my shopping cart. Finally got my order for 5 in...

leahcim · 10-19-08, 09:27 AM

Same thing I did the first time when I thought they were limiting the mystery DVD to 1 per, gotta hit the update cart people.

cinemaphile · 10-19-08, 03:13 PM

ANybody know what "Invoiced" means on an order shipping confirmation?

I got an email that my order has shipped, but while my Mystery DVD's are listed in the email as "Item Filled", a couple other used items i ordered say "Invoiced"

Torchur317 · 10-20-08, 04:01 PM

Someone from bulletpointreview.com got their mystery DVD today....

It was the Pulse remake - Unrated (WS)

Trevor · 10-20-08, 04:10 PM

I'd be happy with that. Heard it sucked, but at least I don't own it and it seems somewhat giftable.

I wouldn't mind that. Mediocre movie, but Kristen Bell is yummy :P

Torchur317 · 10-20-08, 04:17 PM

I hope it's different for each person,I already own it....
I don't feel like 6 copies of it.... lol
Plus it wouldn't be too easy to get rid of all them at the same place....

That's not so bad for $0.99. I hope mine show up in the next couple days.

alfonsosoriano · 10-20-08, 07:46 PM

I'd take that for a $1

I wish it was the HD DVD. I've been wanting that. Hope that it isn't multiple copies of the same thing.
