Best Buy Media Prices: 10/25 - 31 - 30% Off Reg Price BD w/Exclusions
 
30% off regularly priced BDs (no new releases, no Ice Age 3, Tinker Bell ATLT, Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, Transformers: ROTF, Wrong Turn, Twilight, Last House On The Left, Friday The 13th, The Haunting, some other "horror" movie I can't make out, and music blu-rays)

so not much of a sale compared to everyday Amazon prices but you might find a deal or 2 and may be good if you have GC's or credit to burn

Hmmm, I wonder if this deal will be available online at their site as well....there have been some MSRP price drops lately that their site reflects, but their stores do not...I'd rather be able to order online and use the in-store pickup option to get the cheapest price, rather than go through the hassle of debating things with some of their employees....
I'm going to keep my fingers crossed for Sunday!

Anyone know what Batman Begins is usually priced at? I just saw that it's on sale for 13.49. Don't know if I should pick it up today or hold off and see if it's cheaper after the 30% off.

Army of Darkness and an American Werewolf in London (minus 30%) would be priced at $13.99 = sold!

i picked up hot fuzz and green mile today, gonna go back tomorrow for the adjustment.

im thinkin of pickin up that 3pack of halloween, hellraiser and children of the corn. its priced @ $35, but minue the 30% it would bring it down to about $25.

and i saw the masters of horror season 1 for $45. For just over $30, thats not a bad deal at all.

I'll check their selection on Tuesday. Odds are though, I won't find any better prices then I could get at Amazon.com

I hoping online applies too. They matched Amazon's True Blood price. $24 maybe if this works?

website reflects the 30% off prices .... including pre-orders

most of the stuff is still on par though with Amazon pricing as I thought in the OP especially once you add tax on the BB price
plus I wouldn't doubt Amazon marks down anything big enough that they have priced lower

some things like Inglourious Basterds which is 20.99 on bb.com vs 27.99 on Amazon (but I doubt Amazon has marked this as far down as they will closer to street) look to be better deals

NXNW is 24.29 on Amazon and 20.99 on bb.com but again not much once you add tax and no shipping if you have Prime

The Green Mile which appears to be exclusive to them right now is now 20.99

Whew after 2 hours of finding the best deal on pre-orders. My cart had 15 in there then after an hour, I eliminates 10 of them and order just 5 movies i like.

I placed an order a few minutes ago (picked up the original Omen for $9.09) and it went through just fine.

It was a little flakey earlier, but I did order through for Point Break ($9.06) before I went out.

FYI: Just be aware that Amazon is starting to match some catalog titles to the Best Buy sale. I've not seen any pre-orders match yet.

May I ask which 15? I am a bit lazy on looking for pre-orders and then their pricing etc. Greatly appreciate the help! Thanks!

So will these prices hold on pre-orders if the order is placed now? Any reason to believe they won't?

I stopped using Amazon in August after they started using a really shady courier for Prime members in this area. Getting prices for all the Q4 releases at or better than Amazon prices is very attractive for me now that I am buying local again.

Re: Best Buy Media Prices: 10/25 - 31 - 30% Off Reg Price BD w/Exclusions
 
In theory, you should be able to pick up the Battlestar Galactica Complete Blu-ray Collection for $175 + tax, since in-store pricing is $250 for the Blu-ray set. Not too shabby, considering you can actually go there, make sure you've got a good-looking set, and have a receipt for in-store returns in case of a faulty disc or something. :up:

As a reminder, BestBuy honors price matches for 30 days - If you bought anything in the last month, they'll adjust the price.

Snow White = $20.99, Sleeping Beauty = $20.99. I got them when they were both $25 and ended up with a $15 gift card + $10 off, making them just a few dollars each after pricematch.

Proposal is $20.99 - if you used your coupon ($10 off) you can get it for $10.99 after price-match (previously $26.99)

I came out with $30 back after price-matches today.

Not that I am going to spend this amount, but the Batman Anthology is $66.99 for Blu and 89.99 for DVD... hmmmmm?

Probably regret this as I am sure there will be an IMAX version or some other special or coupon or something, but Star Trek (2009 Movie) is $20.99 with this sale... In store Pickup = $0 ship... + tax... Maybe I can cancel pre-order if it becomes cheaper with other means..

They also have many titles for $9.09... Click on Movies, Click on Blu-Ray, Sort by "Priced Low to High" and browse... Jewel of the Nile, Romancing the Stone, Batman 1966, to name a few..

Maybe I'm just cheap, because none of these prices are jumping out at me. Everything I'm looking at is still in the $20 range, which is too much for me.

Shit. I picked up Green Mile last week. I'll have to take my receipt over there tomorrow. You don't actually have to bring the item, do you? I would think the receipt should be sufficient.

This is one of the reasons I do my orders through the website for in-store pickup. Since it's a website order I just have to email them to adjust it.

You know, after waltzing around the section for probably 20-25 minutes, I came to the same conclusion. Almost bought The Green Mile, but it was still a little more than I wanted to spend.

Same here. BB's prices are ridiculously high. $50 bucks for Band of Brothers and that is with the 30% discount? That's crazy. James Bond blu rays sets were priced at 100 bucks b4 discount. lol

I did get Shawshank Redemption for $17.XX though.

Yeah, item isn't necessary - if you paid with a credit card or used your reward-zone card, that information is enough for them to pull the info up in-store.

I think this sale's getting undersold here. I'm fine with spending around $20 for a new-ish Blu, and these are some pretty good prices; I did a cross-check of eight titles, comparing to Amazon and Deep Discount minus 25% (presuming that sale comes back in November), and all but one were at least a buck or two cheaper at bestbuy.com.

maxfisher 10-25-09 08:57 PM

Re: Best Buy Media Prices: 10/25 - 31 - 30% Off Reg Price BD w/Exclusions
 
Yeah, looks like picking up all three seasons of Star Trek TOS is about $172. That's about $40 less than Amazon and $45 less than Deep Discount. Not too bad.

jiggyblau 10-25-09 09:11 PM

Re: Best Buy Media Prices: 10/25 - 31 - 30% Off Reg Price BD w/Exclusions
 
I got Primal Fear, Romancing the Stone, Jewel of the Nile, and Spaceballs ($5 MFR coupon printout) plus Ice Age 2 ($5 MFR coupon printout). Pretty solid prices. I would have bought Major League for $12.59 if they had it in store. I'll just order from Amazon, and hopefully they'll match.

mraw 10-25-09 09:11 PM

Re: Best Buy Media Prices: 10/25 - 31 - 30% Off Reg Price BD w/Exclusions
 
I personally don't consider paying 1 or 2 bucks less than other retailers a 'deal' when I'm on the fence about buying certain titles anyway. The titles I looked at were a buck or two less than amazon and the likes, but that doesn't make me want to rush and buy them. When tax is added they are the same price as amazon.

I'll wait for Black Friday if I get anything. I've purchased about 10 titles since summer and I have yet to open any because DVR is talking up all of my time.

I haven't paid $20 or more for any of my Blu-ray discs.

I didn't even notice this in the ad and I was just at the store where there was NO indication of such a sale.

Brodie Corleone 10-26-09 11:37 AM

Re: Best Buy Media Prices: 10/25 - 31 - 30% Off Reg Price BD w/Exclusions
 
I didn't see any signs either. They had tags up for some titles that were already on sale, but nothing about 30% off most BDs.

I picked up The Office: Season 5 ($34.99) and 300 digibook w/exclusive comic ($24.49). Decent enough deal for me.
