Best Buy Media Prices (October 3rd - 9th, 2010)
pixs from CES at Blu-ray Bargains forum

First off there appears to be an error in the ad. The DVD/Blu-Ray release for "A Nightmare On Elm Street" reboot (2010). The image used in the advertisement showcases the cover from the 2006 special edition (an InfiniFilm edition). They should honor the price for the correct title.
I'll be getting "Caprica" S1.0, but I'm disappointed by the price. I was really expecting this to be $29.99. I am curious about the price on "Iron Man 2" $14.99 - the two disc version?

Doesn't look like Best Buy's ad this upcoming week has much going for it yet again. If they're going to get out of offering sales on DVDs I wish they'd just do it and put themselves out of my misery. I used to count Best Buy as a decent source for a good sale from time to time, but they haven't had a decent sale on DVDs for so long, I don't know why I keep torturing myself by going there week after week, must be a glutton for punishment. -kd5-

You can currently pre-order Caprica for in-store pickup at Best Buy's website for $31.99, the same price Amazon is listing at the moment. Anyone know what Target's in-store price is yet?

This post isn't about sales.
Just a heads up.
I picked up "Caprica" (price matched their website and used my RZ voucher). It was busy, very. I asked. Today or rather yesterday now had the various district managers from all over California and neighbor states visit Best Buy's flagship store, the San Bernardino outlet (I saw a charter bus in the parking lot). My store is moving towards digital - less physical items; CD and DVDs. In fact my store in the past weeks had a major overhaul. It looks nothing like it used to. One whole long rack (or two) worth of DVDs are gone. The CD section is even worse.
So?
All the stores in California are now going to look like that. From what I heard, TODAY, Wednesday is the day many stores will begin their revamping. If you want that DVD or CD that isn't among what would be considered 'popular' and live here in the state, you might want to pick that up. It won't be available for long. And not inventory sold in some great sale, no just packed away, shipped back the distributor. It's messed up.

If this is true, I guess Fry's Electronics will soon be the last retail store near me where I have any chance of finding anything besides the latest and most popular movies. My Walmart likes to tell me they will be getting more movies to fill their expanded electronics section, but so far all I see is that they've taken the same small amount of movies and spread them over more floor space. At the current rate of attritition, in a few years I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon is the last place left in the US that sells movies older than 6 months. Just kidding. :-) Since I'm so price conscious and most retail stores are not, it probably won't matter. I'd end up buying everything online anyway based on price.

I've seen the transformation already at a few stores (Glendora, Montclair, CA). The DVD and CD racks have been downsized considerably...
