Matrix and Dirty Harry blu-rays look good to me...

Well, I was going by the sticker price on the DVD itself. Except for The Sopranos set.

Using the Best Buy Web site as a guide, I've noticed that a few titles are tagged lower in-store than on the site.

For instance: Lost: Season 3

Web site shows it for $49.99
In store it is tagged for $34.99.

Now unless they retag all of the TV series as part of the deal, would that mean the sale price of Lost: Season 3 is $24.99 or $17.50?

I imagine the reg. price is $50 and it'll be $25 on Sunday. Note in the ad that Season 4 will be on sale for $25 and is reg. $50.

Even if BB bumps up the price to full MSRP for the half-off sale, I am all over Burn Notice S2...was waiting to pick that up during DD's bi-annual sale. And just thinking out loud...but here's to hoping The Closer S4 is also part of the sale.

Wish I hadn't bought that Seinfeld set the day it came out. Ugh.

How are the other 4 Dirty Harrys? Is the box set worth a blind buy if I only like the first, or should I just buy this one and rent the rest?

Plus..I'm going to have to get a price adjustment on The Shield S7.

The ad says "select TV series", so I'm guessing no.

No, only all the seasons of a particular series, not all tv seasons.

I saw a bunch of copies in stock at the Galleria BB in Houston yesterday.

Well IMO the first is the only film in the series worthy of being on blu. The rest of the films of the series keep on getting a little worse from the previous. So I'd say jump on the first film on blu and search out for the rest of the film on SD.

I've rented them all - the picture quality is a big improvement, but like biglou said, they get progressively worse as far as the films themselves go. I really only need the first two to be happy, but I'd be much more inclined to buy a full set if they came in normal Blu-ray cases...another gimmicky-packaged set. I'll buy the first one and hope the rest get individual releases later.

is $24.99 for LOST (S4) the best price it has been thus far and is it likely to be $19.99 any time soon? i know Amazon price matched, but they say 1-3 weeks so would rather get in-store pickup when price drops Sunday.

You could just pricematch Target's ad for this week (ends Saturday night) with the price of $24.99.

ABC shows rarely hit $20. Disney is nowhere near as aggressive with their TV on DVD prices as Fox and Universal are with theirs. I've seen Target hit $20 with Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives this year, but still, it's very rare.

Link to $9.99 and $14.99 blu-ray titles. There are a few more than what was pictured in the ad, but nothing too exciting (Space Cowboys, Body Heat, etc). I know the link looks screwed up, but it works. I tested it...
