Best price on the Terminal?

$17.99 at Best Buy and Circuit City is too much.


Will it be cheaper at Frys?

Anybody know if Terminal 3 disc (2 dvds, one cd) will also be low priced at Target? BB & CC are awful high & I really don't want to wait for DVD Planet or Amazon who have better etailer prices.

but you can't do a price match with target since the ad in the Sunday flyer only says "Low Price"

That's how most new releases are labeled. It's their way of getting around the Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) Policy. You should be able to PM that ad to Circuit City and sometimes Best Buy. At Circuit City, bring in Target's phone # and you can have them call the store to verify the price if necessary. Best Buy is less likely to do this due to us being Devils.

Thanks

Once I go there I bet they will think I am a nut since I will do a price match for the U2 Deluxe edition CD, Nirvana box set, and the Terminal plus best buy has a ad where all cds priced at $13.99 are for sale for $9.99 until Wed Nov 24.

For the 3 Disc Set, $25.87 free shipping and no tax (if you are not in California) at www.dvdplanet.com is probably the best deal so far for those who don't mind the wait (like me).

Lower then DDD and all B&Ms that I have seen.

I have never been able to price match that type of deal so that's a big YMMV.

Good price, but I am not sure what I was originally thinking because I expect a better price than this. I think I am going to wait to let it have a price drop.

Someone once posted BB was going to raise their prices on new releases, looks like that came true!

Not sure if its worth a 20% coupon or not.

This is pretty normal for Best Buy pricing. the Terminal isn't the feature product of the week, that's Harry Potter.

Thanks, I never saw an ad and thought it was a featured.

Maybe that might be the cheapest price for this one!

Going to circuit city was a waste.


I got the U2 and Gwen Stefani CDs for $8.99 plus the free Gwen poster but they only had the full frame version of the Terminal and they did not have the Nirvana box set.


Another trip to best buy


UGH!!!!!

Plus a rebate on the shipping!

Nice.

The picture looks like the 3-disc set, but the description says "fullscreen", lists no special feature and shows the regular price as $19.99. I doubt it's really the 3-disc set. Can anyone confirm based on the manufacturer's id number?

Awesome deal! Thanks for posting!

Does Sears typically have these DVDs in-store? I rarely make it out to the mall and would be most appreciative of any information.

This is what it said on the linked page "Web exclusive. This item is not avaliable in Sears stores".


I've never ordered through sears.com. Anyone have some experience with them?

I have ordered through them. they are good but the shipping tends to be high plus you have to pay sales tax. that is probably why they are doing a shipping rebate which takes up to 8 weeks to receive.

I'm tempted to just buy it at Costco for $25 + tax rather than getting it at sears.com for $25 and then sending in a shipping rebate. I know that's a better deal, but I've gotten screwed so many times with rebates, I can't bother anymore and prefer the instant gratification of getting the DVD right away.

Thanks for the Sears deal. Sounds good to me and I can wait for its arrival and the rebate!



Hope this Kmart deal doesn't screw up Sears. I have found some really good bargains there.
