Blockbuster - 5-for-$20 (<$9.99), 3-for-$20 (<$14.99)[DEAD-Now 4-for-20 and 2-for-20]
I didn't see any topics on this one yet - Blockbuster has upped the 2-for-$20 (titles $14.99 and less) and 4-for-$20 (titles $9.99 and less) to 3-for-20 and 5-for-20.
They also put out some newer titles like Watchmen, Fast & Furious, Coraline and others. Great prices if you don't mind used discs (and don't mind missing out on any bonus discs/digital copies). The $9.99 sections have a lot of older hard-to-find-cheap titles (Anime, foreign films, etc..) that never seem to go on sale and most seem to have never been rented. There are also "clearance" titles for $3.99 (same as 5-for-20, but you can buy less than 5 to still get the deal). Stuff like Indiana Jones was in this section. Sale goes until either Sunday or Monday (the manager was confused with the wording of the promotion and wasn't sure when it will actually end). There are also 2-for-$25 on used Blu Rays ($16.99 otherwise). The blu ray sections havent been updated in a while though. Last edited by SPIDERone; 09-13-09 at 11:04 PM. |

Re: Blockbuster - 5 for $20 (<$9.99) and 3 for $20 (<$14.99) - USED
Went back today to see the new titles - BlockBuster apparently puts out "new" used movies on Sunday Morning. Picked up a few titles that I've wanted.. but not for MSRP (Street Fighter, Obsessed, Spring Breakdown and a few others).
They seem to have also moved quite a few horror titles (ones that rarely go on sale), some good international movies to the $9.99 section, as well as some newer releases like Choke, Bangkok Dangerous, Lakeview terrace, etc..) But the other reason for replying is to say that the sale ends MONDAY night (not tonight). All used movies have a 30-day guarantee, but the ones I |

A couple of locations had new movies on Clearance.
I got Cinderella II, Cinderella III, and The Rescuers Down Under for $9.99 each. I thought that was pretty good for Disney movies. Ghost (Special Collector's Edition)- $4.99 In the Heat of the Night (original)- I think it was $3.99 |

I just picked up 3 titles at a Blockbuster for $9, just like in late July. I got The Visitor, My Name is Bruce & Madagascar II. Best deal ever that I've seen at Blockbuster. Haven't seen it at any other Blockbusters.

The Visitor was one of the best movies of last year. It's too bad a lot of people haven't seen it. At least that guy got nominated for Best Actor, which gave the film some light.

Indeed it was one of 2008's best. By the director of The Station Agent, another little gem of a movie. No relation to either of these films, but if you like this kind of story, The Band's Visit is another worth checking out.

Re: Blockbuster - 5 for $20 (<$9.99) and 3 for $20 (<$14.99) - USED
I'm working on a feature of various rental places in the area for the campus newspaper, so I came across this deal by chance this afternoon. I just got done clearing around 80 DVDs from my collection, so I was resistant to even a great deal like this one.
Finally spent enough time going through the racks to come across three I've really wanted to add for a while (There Will Be Blood, Burn After Reading, Zack & Miri Make a Porno). Found the SE of Chinatown and grabbed Changeling to round out the pack.

I went to my local BB and they didn't have the sale. I just bought 4 for $20 but I completely forgot this thread said they had it for 5 for $20. Oh, whatever. I think my BB is going against the grain with these types of sales. I'm happy what I got, though.

My local BB is closing and they have a inventory clearance going on right now, at a whopping low price of $7.99 each. Damn, they had lower prices before they starting going out of business.

As far as I know, the last day for the "5 for $20" was Monday Sep 7 - on Tues my store was back to the regular "4 for $20".

It looks like they might have been holding back some titles until after the sale ended (possibly so they can have a larger selection after many were picked up in the 4-for-20) - my local store had quite a few new $9.99 titles the next day (ones I wouldn't have minded picking up for $4). I'm going to try to edit the title to update the status of the deal. |

Re: Blockbuster - 5 for $20 (<$9.99) and 3 for $20 (<$14.99) - USED
Just got back from stopping in a location before hitting the grocery store. They've tacked on Away We Go since the last time I stopped in. So, I ended up getting it, Adventureland, and Surveillance for $21. Not too shabby.
![]() FYI, talked a bit with one of the employees and they mentioned The Brothers Bloom might be put out next week. Grain of salt, but it's still worth a look to see if you can snag a rental exclusive (which, by the way, is Summit retail material on the outside -- no BB exclusive strip at the top or anything).

Re: Blockbuster - 5 for $20 (<$9.99) and 3 for $20 (<$14.99) - USED
you folks are lucky! The BBV by me is going out of business, so the 4/$20 and 3/$20 are now reduced to $6 and $9 respectively!
yes, that actually is a slight increase. 2 days ago they were $10 and $15, so at least the #'s are going down in the right direction, but still more expensive than when the store was active. So take advantage of this stuff while you can! |

None of the Blockbusters in my area EVER participate in these sales. 4/$20 is the absolute lowest any PVV has gone around here.
