Transporter 3 PS3 BD starter pack 12.48 @ Target YMMV

lovgun7 · 04-23-09, 12:10 AM

i wasn't sure if this should be at the gaming section or Bargain section...

But since this pack takes advantage of the Blu-ray capability in the PS3 i thought this was the better section

I already have an HDMI cable and the Blu-Wave remote for the PS3 but 12.48 JUST for the movie is a bargain

they had 3 of these and one of the employees saw me looking at it and said "just take it, 13 bucks is worth it since the movie itself is 29.99"

i had my doubts but 2 things confirmed the price . The employee and the original price which was 49.99

i found this deal at the West Hills target buy the Burlington Coat Factory dont get it confused with the Target in Westfield.

still no free ICEE refills....

If any Target has Transporter 3, then they might have some of the other bundles, the two I remember are Transporter 1 and 3:10 to Yuma.

I purchased the terminator BD with remote/HDMI cables from target. Took it back yesterday though. I didn't need the cable and remote plus you can get terminator cheaper on e-bay or amazon... I have a spending problem and that's the only reason why I bought this!

kenbenobi · 04-23-09, 07:26 AM

I bought the 3:10 to Yuma set yesterday...

wildman1037 · 04-23-09, 07:37 AM

Question: For the people buying these bundles, are you finding it at the $12.48 price???

Ignore the sticker price and take it to a self scanner.

YMMV. Every Target is different on most clearance items.

At my local Target, these were still ~$30 last week.

Yes. At the store I went to in PA they all had a red sticker price marked at 12.48.

Is this in the gaming or dvd section? I need a remote. It sucks trying to watch the movie with the PS3 game controller.

DirkUSA · 04-23-09, 09:55 AM

Just a quick question. Is this HDMI cable PS3 only/specific or is it a standard HDMI cable?

Dirk

sotra · 04-23-09, 09:57 AM

Standard cable.

What is a HDMI PS3 only cable? Aren't they all the same including Monsters?

thanks.

I didn't know if there is such a thing or not, that's why I asked. I don't have a PS3 but I need to get an HDMI cable for my Sat receiver and this would have been a sweet deal but no luck at my local target.

Most likely on a clearance endcap in the electronics section. And also likely to be gone by now, but you never know... I checked all of my stores yesterday morning before this was posted (I've been monitoring the price on these for over a week, waiting for the clearance price to drop again) but could only find one. They're all gone in my area, and I hit 8 stores...

Hmmm. it was more in the DVD section. Just look on the end of the rows. You should easily find it!

It's an honest question since gaming consoles typically have a proprietary cable output.

Heading there this morning.

Thanks OP!

Sweet Baby James · 04-23-09, 01:45 PM

These sets are located in the PS3 section at my local Target.

lovgun7 · 04-23-09, 03:14 PM

To answer the clearence location question your answer is YMMV

Both stores in van nuys have 2 clearence sections for games and movies the store in west hills has 1 big end rack with games and movies the store in burbank hardly ever gets good clearence items. When in doubt just ask an employee.

I'm gonna check out a few more targets and see if I have any more luck.

Willh51 · 04-23-09, 08:24 PM

Oooh. Want this. I'll have to check tomorrow.

lovgun7 · 04-23-09, 09:45 PM

if anyone has seen these deals at van nuys, burbank, West hills, Woodland hills, northridge anywhere in the San fernando valley let me know please ...

doctaheath78 · 04-23-09, 11:05 PM

Anyone find these in South Florida?
