A lot of people are going to be pissed about NBK being $7.99.

Thanks for posting!

So, how long before "Kick-Ass" drops below $20?

Probably not too long... Lionsgate titles seem to drop pretty low and fast, right?

LOL NBK keeps dropping in price! Hopefully people know that BB does price adjustments.

Might pick up The Crazies for that price!

In for Unforgiven... Tempted by Traitor but I can live with the DVD. I guess.

No price for Road to Perdition? Not surprising... I didn't expect there to be one. Oh well, I won't do many day and date releases but Road is an exception. Guess I'll burn some Amazon credit. Must. Have. It. Now.

It just occured to me that they are not advertising Diary of a Wimpy Kid Pretty odd, as it's a family title and the film was somewhat successful in the theatres.

I have a feeling they are not going to offer sale prices on catalog disney titles anymore since they know disney is pushing the coupons. meaning 34.99 for james and the giant peach minus 10.00 coupon for a total of 24.99

Atleast thats the impression iam getting from the fact that neither Target or Bestbuy has these as advertised prices.

I'm in for a little refund on The Crazies purchase. Paid 19.99 for it on release day and it will be 12.99. I'm also going to ask for a few bucks back from buying NBK this past week. Of course this will go right back to them for Kick Ass. I forgot about buying Hot Tub so I should get another 7 bucks or so returned.

I'm in for 'Unforgiven' and 'NBK'. Worked some overtime this past week so that will be my reward. I'll pick them up Tuesday when I'm off

Why would they care? They do millions of coupons a year that they get refunded for. It's not like it will be less coupon handling work for them if they don't advertise these.

Re: Best Buy Media Prices (August 1 - August 7, 2010)

Is there a significant difference between the two versions of NBK? I have the Director's Cut, but am I missing anything significantly from the rated cut?

At some point I'll be picking up Elvis On Tour but not for $28. I already have Viva Las Vegas on HD DVD so i won't bother with the 3 pack

If you have the Director's Cut there is no need to see the Theatrical cut ever again. The DC also has improved picture quality over the Theatrical cut.

Jeez, Elvis on Tour is $28!?! But then the box set (that includes that movie) is only $7 more?? What kind of stupidity is that? I already have Jailhouse Rock and Viva Las Vegas on BD so it would be pointless to buy the box set. However, I could probably just sell the others and make more than $7. Anyway, I'm going to pick it up anyway, I wonder if it will be cheaper anywhere else.
