Wow, I can't believe they're still advertising $25+ blu-rays.

DirkBelig · 05-22-09, 01:17 AM

No price is too high for the flawless perfection of Sony's most glorious gift to humanity. Quit being so ungrateful.

pridesticks06 · 05-22-09, 02:30 AM

Well that's a whole lot of nothing. Unless those Pixar BD's have Up movie money, but even then it's a push.

CombatCraig · 05-22-09, 06:14 AM

Australia finally hit the $20 price point for me! Time to pick it up!

I know Bug's Life does.

GizmoDVD · 05-22-09, 08:57 AM

Crappy price...but thanks.

mvckalel · 05-22-09, 09:32 AM

Wow, it's getting worse...

SDSU92 · 05-22-09, 11:38 AM

Welcome to the world of no competition . . . Best Buy had been raising prices on many items before Circuit City went under. It's online and wait for delivery or hopefully soon Target and Walmart will step up their electronics departments.

Anybody receive BB coupons for memorial day weekend in the mail? I thought for sure I'd get some, but I did not...

I didn't get those, either. Whoever mails the coupons must not like me. On the bright side, I had to call customer service 4 times about an issue. I just wanted it resolved, I wasn't asking for any compensation. But they credited my RZ with 750 points, so I'll be getting a $15 cert in the mail soon...

You know you can just print them off the site, right? You just cash in the amount of points you want to and the certificates instantly show up. So, as long as you have a printer there is no need to wait. Also, I think it's best to do $5 increments bc I ran into a problem before w/ a $10 cert. The item I wanted was 9.99, but I couldn't use the $10 cert. unless I bought something else that put the total over 10 before tax.

Wow, I can't believe that people actually pay that much.

Snowmaker · 05-22-09, 03:22 PM

And again no mention of Falling Down BD.

fumanstan · 05-22-09, 03:47 PM

I don't see how people are complaining when those Fox movies are the cheapest i've seen at a retail store. I know a lot of people pay less then $20, but generally that's pretty good for a B&M store.

Keep looking around. Frys usually kicks Best Buys ass in Blu Ray prices, and has a weekly rotating selection of BD's for 9.99.

Also check out fye... while their regular prices aren't great, they usually have a ton of used BD's for reasonable prices.

Marvin Dorfler · 05-23-09, 04:52 AM

May and June are harsh release-wise; slim pickins in the new release department

No kidding. The nearest store to here is in Fishers, Indiana just northeast of Indianapolis. My aunt lives near Indianapolis so maybe the next time I go visit her, I'll take a side trip and visit the store.

What's the reason for this snarky comment?

Darknite39 · 05-23-09, 11:20 PM

It made me laugh. That's a good enough reason for me.
