HBO Blu Ray Sets $30 with Coupon At Costco

From 12/18-12/24 Coscto is selling the Blu Ray sets Band Of Brothers, John Adams, True Blood Season 1 and The Sopranos season 1 for $30. They're listed at $44.99 but $15 comes off automatically at the register. A great deal for those of us who remember when those sets were $100 each for DVD versions.

Band of Brothers is a must own for anyone who doesn't have it yet. This price is begging for you to own it. I may try and grab John Adams but not many Costcos around here.

I wonder if BoB is worth the upgrade if you already have the set on DVD.

Definitely worth the upgrade on picture and audio quality. If you have a receiver that decodes HD audio with surround sound speakers, you will be most pleased. Picture quality is excellent too.

My girlfriend's mom is the only person I know with a CostCo account, I think. I need to find a way to get my hands on "Band Of Brothers" for that price.

I won't be able to make it to Costco before the 24th, so I just ordered it from Best Buy plus the amount of gas I would burn driving from here to G.R. is more than the extra $ I spend at Best Buy.

Unless you want to drive 90 miles to Ontario there aren't any period. I grew up in Western New York and BJ's is the only wholesale retailer in the area.

I don't know if there are any Sam's Clubs there now, or by you in the Roc, but there's definitely no Costco.

Are you sure about that? I went to Costco to get BOB for $30 so I picked up a copy and asked the cashier to scan it if it was really $30 but it showed $45. What the hell?! I ended up buying at BB but now, I don't know what to do. Do the $15 rebate come off automatically it's scanned in the register? I'm confused!!!!

Already posted in the other thread, but it is $29.99 at checkout through December 24.

Yes, but it's not something that I've ever had the urge to watch a second time.

Yes I'm sure. It came off automatically. I bought John Adams and True Blood today. Now I'm thinking about upgrading BoB, but I still don't know....

But why didn't it work for me when the cashier scanned it?

And you could probably sell the DVD set for at least $25, if not more.

Same thing happened to me a couple of years ago. There is something with Costco's system, coupons do not show up if you just do a price check. You have to go thru the register system and it will take it off. If it doesnt, just tell them you dont want it.

Houston Costco(s) seemed to have plenty of BoBs in-stock. Went by Galleria store and then Bunker Hill - they had 8+, 4+ copies respectively. Thought about it, but couldn't pull the trigger.

Oh, ok. Well, that sucks. I don't mind spending $8 more in BB anymore now, since returning it and re-buying it in Costco seems like a waste of gas.
