damn, hope we get some better halloween deals the following week.

Thanks for posting this and the full ad. I'm surprised they're doing a doorbuster thing for Transformers 2.

NiCK Crush · 10-14-09, 10:18 PM

Transformers 2 Blu-ray Doorbuster has me sold.

Might pick up a couple of those 12.99 horror BDs as well.

Agreed.

I will probably pick up the Flight of the Conchords CD this week, but that will be it (if I even go for it immediately).

GenPion · 10-14-09, 10:23 PM

As for you people wanting Transformers 2, why not buy the IMAX one at Walmart that is $20 on Blu-ray and call it a day?

That's what I'm doing. The doorbuster thing is BS. I'm not sure if the doorbuster thing is at midnight, or store opening. It doesn't really clarify when that 2 hour period is. Either way, I'm not going at midnight, or at store opening.

Just for reference it says:

Quote:

In store only. Doorbuster discount does not apply to BestBuy.com pre-orders or sales. Stores with midnight openings will have Doorbuster pricing for both the midnight opening and the first two hours of regular business hours on October 20, 2009.

Anyway I think I am sticking with the steelbook from fye... the Target robot looks cool though.

The fine print on the ad says the 2 hour period applies to both the midnight opening and normal business hours. Yet the walmart exclusive does seem like the way to go.

SethDLH · 10-14-09, 11:09 PM

does anyone know if those are the only $12.99 horror dvds or will there be others?

bluetoast · 10-14-09, 11:09 PM

Doorbusters...for Transformers 2? Best Buy really wants that Wal-Mart business.

Moleman1138 · 10-14-09, 11:17 PM

WAL-MART Transformers BD's still cheaper - 19.99 with better package art (TWEC steelbook in black)

yes... but are the special features the same? i realize the IMAX cut is on it... but is everything else the same?

jrsl76 · 10-14-09, 11:28 PM

Why oh why is there a doorbuster deal on a movie as bad as Transformers?

because millions of people like it

Juicy.Fruit84 · 10-14-09, 11:42 PM

Thanx Op, nothing for me tho.

Boba Fett · 10-15-09, 12:03 AM

I wonder if the Best Buy computers will be programmed to exclude WWE box-sets from that Svr2010 deal. The fine print says only the Batista DVD is excluded and I vaguely recall more than once people getting boxsets for free or cheap with deals because the computers weren't programmed right.

Rammsteinfan · 10-15-09, 12:18 AM

Getting TF: ROTF at WM for $20. Definitely picking up Rammstein's new CD. It is awesome. Might get a few of those $12.99 blu's too.

As far as I'm concerned if they exclude only Batista then they have to honor any other.

pridesticks06 · 10-15-09, 12:36 AM

Nothing here for me this week. And as far as Blu-ray is concerned, and not to be offensive to anyone, but I see no reason why anyone would want to pay $22 (or $19 after PJ coupon) for this at Best Buy when they can get the IMAX version for $20 (or $17 with PJ coupon) at Wal-mart. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

DVD people on the other hand could benefit. I like the idea of doorbuster, but the idea of a doorbuster is to have something good enough to get me in the door, something they fail at here.

supermike07 · 10-15-09, 02:05 AM

I'm not planning on going at midnight, but I'm thinking about getting there within 2 hours of store opening to get the standard edition of Transformers 2 for $13.99-$3 (PAPA JOHN'S coupon)=$10.99 even though I don't like the artwork of that version.

Any ideas what "deals" Wal-Mart may have for the standard DVD?
