Thanks for the comparison chart, Trevor. Looks like Best Buy will get my money Tuesday at 10, like I noted in the BB thread.

Yep, looks like they are the "winner" this week, cheapest in 4 of the 7 "match-ups".

Paul blart Mall Cop will likely be $27.99 with an instant $5 off at BJs the 1st week. Additionally they have a $5 off coupon (monthly magazine - see other thread) plus an additional $5 off coupon coming up in their review magazine and also a $3 off coupon was posted. Potentially it could be $9.99 for the blu-ray!

Thanks Willo and Liontamer. I haven't started the exclusive thread for this week yet, but will add those to both threads.

Whoops, sorry to post it in the wrong thread, Trevor. I didn't realize you had split up the exclusives and price comparisons into separate threads now.

That's ok, I'll keep putting everything in both threads pretty much.

The split is just an experiment, we may go back to one thread soon.

Friday Night Lights S.3 is $18.99 on Best Buy's website. So, it's worth mentioning in-store to get another dollar off.

Thanks for that. I need to decide whether to get it for cheaper, or wait for the BD. Hmmmm...

I went to BB on lunch and bought True Blood BD (last copy with t-shirt) and two copies of T2 Skynet Edition. I see absolutely no point in getting the 6-disc set with the plastic bust. It may look neat, but it's not worth the extra money. If anyone isn't planning on using your Sideshow Collectibles gift card, let me know!

Thanks for mentioning that. I just did an in-store pickup to get the extra buck off.
