I have a couple of stupid questions:

If I preorder Up on Blu-Ray ($24.49 on the website) in-store and get the Steelbook for free, what price am I going to pay for Up when I pickup the DVD on release day? I'm guessing release day price minus $7.95 I put down for it.

Would I be better off pre-ordering it on the website to make sure I lock in the 30% off Blu-Ray sale this week?

How about you start with all apple or all oranges? Are you talking about the DVD or the Blu-ray because you mention both in the same sentence...

zekeburger1979

My fault. The Blu-Ray.

BSTNFAN

I just did the same.

Zen Peckinpah

So the dumbass told me the 30% only applied if you bought that Insignia player. Everything rings up at 30% off though?

FYI, Amazon is now matching BB pricing including pre-orders.

b2net

not on everything.... but make sure to search for the titles you want..

Star Trek is still 27.99 at Amazon so I cancelled my BBY order for everything else.

Ran by and picked up some discs yesterday. Wizard of Oz (with lenticular cards-still had some left), Shaun of the Dead, Van Helsing, Army of Darkness. A guilty pleasure extravaganza!

heads up: An American Werewolf In London Blu Ray is showing $13.99 on the website (dvd is 14.99). Will be heading to best buy today to scoop it up plus 30% off

edit- nevermind, didn't realize it was on sale for $13.99 still a good price that i will probably jump on

I hope they're just late on matching this. They seem a little slow adjusting prices, as they just matched The Professional and Love, Actually today.

Sweet. Hardware (the film) is included in this sale. Might have to drop by BB today.

The "manager" (there's never a REAL manager in BB) tried to tell me this too and after politely arguing about it, he called another store, and then said he was wrong.

Turned out good for me, because I didn't pay attention to something too, that the discount didn't apply to music related BDs, and they gave me the 30% of The Police-Certifiable BD anyway for the "problems" they caused by not knowing about their own deals.

Two years ago I remember liking going into BB and getting great deals, now I buy almost everything online.

dolphinboy

It's strange because I checked all my orders today and my Star Trek is 22.99 in my pre-order. That's not because of matching the BB deal, because that would take it to 20.99.

I have no idea where my price came from and with Forrest Gump and Chasing Amy not going down either, I think some might not get matched.

E-mails never hurt and sometimes do get enough attention for Amazon to do something. I've sent 2.

If you've had it pre-ordered for while, it was $22.99 briefly (like a day) a couple of weeks ago. It was likely automatically adjusted through the pre-order guarantee.

As a heads-up, the Sony staycation coupons are good through Saturday - you can get some very good deals on titles when combined with the BB sale:

I just picked up 'The One' on blu for $11.99. Most of these are under $15 before coupon.

You can also use the follow codes for amazon: http://www.sonypictures.com/homevide...et_Amazon2.pdf

BB just sent me a 10% off coupon in my email. Has anyone tried using this coupon in conjunction with the 30% off? According to the coupon it's not supposed to work when you combine offers, but sometimes it works anyway.

The Monkees

I picked up quite a few things with this 30% off BDs, I pretty much tapped out all my money in the process.

I got:

Home Alone
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
Dr. Suess' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory

And then I also preordered:

It's a Wonderful Life
Rocky: Undisputed Collection (which I ended saving only about $0.50 on, but whatever)

SPIDERone

I've had no luck with coupons and "sale" prices like these - the rep will usually say "Yeah, it accepted it", only to see that it took off $0.00 (or only discounted the non-sale items.

musick

unfortunately STAYBLU3 is not taking @ Amazon on "The Professional" blu pre-order

SPIDERone

^ yeah, the discount only applies to the titles shown on the coupon (the majority being DVD with a handful of BLU). The Professional shown on the coupon is for this DVD: http://www.amazon.com/Professional-J.../dp/0767802519

Hi, I have not seen this mentioned, but Best Buy has the Donnie Darko/Silence of the Lambs blu ray 2-pack for $18.89 with in store pick up right now. I placed an order for instore pick up and it is now waiting for me for later today.

WMAangel

Yes, it does work, just used one this morning, saved an additional 10% on top of the 30% off sale price...the reason this works is because the 30% off is not in their systems indicated as a "sale price"....

zekeburger1979

Ignore my previous posts asking about Up.

I noticed that the cashier didn't ring up my pre-order correctly and I took it back in to have done right. While the CS girl was adjusting it, I asked her if when I picked up the Blu-Ray on release day, would I pay the price that day or the pre-order price from yesterday. She wasn't sure, but wrote on my receipt that the pre-order on the website was $24.49. If all goes well, I should owe $24.49 + tax - $7.95 pre-order on release day.

What's the over/under on how soon the disc holders in the steelbook break?

SethDLH

Do steelbook hubs usually break? I've never had a problem in my 8 or so steelbooks
