Well, my Zombieland story (since everybody else seems to share theirs) goes like this - ordered it for in-store pickup Tuesday at 8am hoping that they would pull the nut up, but I never received a ready for pickup email after the order confirmation. So, I went there today hoping that my order did go through. Once in the store I see no display and none on the shelves. However, they bring me out the nut up edition at order pickup. So, I ask the guy about the lack of extra copies and he told
me they got about 70 copies (about half regular edition) and they were all gone by noon on Tuesday. In fact there were 6 people on the waiting list in case some people didn't pick up their copies!

There were 2 copies left at my local BB yesterday around 11:30am when I got there. Both were the NUOSU Edition.

For those that just have to have a copy, there's a few ppl on ebay selling theirs for $50+ shipping.

Anyone think BB will get any more in in the coming weeks? I kind of doubt it....seems like they had fewer of the special bonus disc blu ray versions than normal?

For those with the bonus disc -- how good are the features? What's on it?

I'm pretty much done looking, but I'm not opening my copy until I'm ready to watch it... just in case.*

* I have a few people on the lookout for me should they stop by a Best Buy.

I reviewed the Nut Up or Shut Up BD: http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/42091...buy-exclusive/

Much to my surprise, when I went to BB today to pick up Zombieland, the one waiting for me at the counter was the Nut Up or Shut Up edition. Note: there were no blu-rays of any type to be found on the sales floor though. I guess I got lucky. Of course, calling in and asking them about it did no good, because they told me it didn't exist.

Darth Maher

I have a feeling that a lot of stores pulled all the "Nut Up" versions for in-store pick-ups.

I had to return a bad disc today to the BB I frequent the most and they had 10 copies of the NUOSU Blu-rays mixed in with the reg Blu-rays. Alot of the standard DVD as well but no NUOSU editions.

BravesMG

Did you notice if those copies were there earlier in the week? I'm still holding off in the event stores get restocked.

RoadToPerdition

I went back today (got the regular Blu-ray on Tuesday) to see if any Nut Ups were there and there wasn't a Blu-ray of any type to be found.

taco5

Hard to say. My BB never really has the big displays like some stores do for their new releases. The ones I saw today were mixed in with the regular "ZLAND" BDs in the same place they were on Tuesday.

So glad I didn't blind-buy Zombieland at best Buy this week. I just watched the movie. It was decent, but not worth owning.

philip74

and this is relevant in a bargains thread how?

kenbenobi

I paid to see it in the theater, and still thought it was worth owning... Sure, it could have been better, but it's still a great zombie flick...

Torchur317

I thought it was great, one of the best films last year. I was hoping my BB might restock this but no luck.

Snowmaker

Same reason its relevant to mention that no one can find the Nut Up version. This thread has become all about finding or buying Zombieland.

sotra

And that is relevant. Especially for those that are looking for Zombieland.

philip74

yeah, but thats not what you wrote. you just mentioned that you watched
the movie and that its not worth owning.
personal tastes aside, but i don`t think any opinion about a movie should
go in a bargain thread. if you absolutely must share your opinion about
zombieland, i am sure there is an appropriate movie thread to post it

Trevor

^ Eh, I don't think an occasional off-topic short post slamming a movie is bothersome. If the same poster did it multiple times in the same thread, or in every thread on the board maybe, but it's natural to voice opinions.

Yes, this is a 'bargain' thread, but it is also part of a community where our main focus is on helping each other. If I'm in a thread that's partially about finding Zombieland, and one or more posters give quick comments on how they liked or didn't like the movie, I'm thankful for their posts. It provides me information to make a more informed decision. If I already made my decision and don't need their input, it takes me less than a second to ignore their opinions. So even 30 off-topic short comments in a bargain thread about a movie sucking wouldn't bother me one bit.

Off topic: I found Zombieland very overrated, but still marginally worth owning someday.

tylergfoster

If someone else in this thread hunting for Zombieland sees Snowmaker's post, they might reconsider and rent it instead, and have the same experience Snowmaker did. This is how the two cents might be useful. And he put it that way, too: "I rented this and didn't think it was worth owning" and not "You guys are idiots, you're wasting your money, this movie blows."

Snowmaker

But there are those, like myself, that will hold the movie in their hands and, having never seen it, wonder if its worth a blind buy. I was merely pointing out that those people may want to rent it first. I figure that info is just as helpful as someone mentioning what stores don't have it in stock.

I was not slamming the movie. It was decent, but not something I'd buy personally.

Yeah, what he said.

hal9000

Second that emotion!

I haven't seen Zombieland myself but having this info let's me know I can hold off 'till the $10 price point.

The DVD Talk community is helpful in this respect, unlike other forums *cough*Hi-def-indigestion*cough* where there is an air of elitism. I no longer go or post there for this very reason, they frown upon any post longer than one sentence because members who get email alerts to the bargain threads supposedly don't want to read anything (especially opinions) unless it was related to a newly found bargain. I say screw that and screw them. They are entitled to regulate their forum the way they choose to, that being said this is why DVDtalk kick's so much ass!

Time to Nut-Up!
Now that I've gone Blu, I rent all most everything. (I've got a lot of DVD's that I never re-watch.)

Anyway I give Zombieland a strong rental.

Darth Maher

Slightly back on topic...

I stopped by another BB on the way home from my Mom's tonight (the Harlem/Irving Plaza for my Chicagoean DVDTalkers) and they only had 4 Blus and a ton of DVDs... NO "Nut Up" in either format.

I got this response in my Inbox from Best Buy Consumer Relations when I got home:Meh, pretty much the answer I was expecting.

fumanstan

I would agree for the most part. Maybe if it was in response to someone debating the purchase based on the price, but in general there's plenty of discussion in the movie or review threads for that sort of thing. Especially given Zombieland was a big success and there have been plenty of talk if someone was looking for reviews.

I usually just skim over the comments since they don't really bother me, but I can understand the complaint. If I posted every week to not buy a new release, it would get old fast.
