I just ordered District 9 for $5.93 and shipping was $0.96! I hope this is their new standard shipping rate. Too bad the sale is just on Pre-Viewed movies.

Edit: I was looking at the sale again around 8am this morning, shipping is now back to $2.16 :(

As you can see by the pic below, shipping is .96 cents on used CDs. Probably just a glitch earlier.

Does anyone know if their previously viewed Blus come in Blu-ray cases or DVD cases i.e. Blockbuster?

All of the ones I've ordered from them have come in Blu-ray cases.

Is there any way to see just the "previously viewed" products? None of the "used" ones I have tried work with the coupon code.

Just got home from work, thankfully everything I wanted was still available.

Picked up a few I'd been waiting on:

The Invention of Lying $8.10
District 9 $5.92
The Hangover $8.10
Surrogates $8.10
The Wrestler $8.10

Shipping kills the deal. They could've keep the discount and offered free shipping. $2.16 a pop? Nope. Closing tab.

It's pretty much a wash in that case. $2.50 off a $10.00 BD >> $2.16 for shipping.

Picked up some cds:

I wouldn't say it kills the deal. You can still get a lot of newer Blu-rays for $10 or less.

dan30oly 08-01-10 11:19 PM

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 
The titles I picked up have been nowhere near $9.99 (I've been watching them for a while).

I must have ordered 50 titles from hastings when shipping was dirt cheap from them, and they must have taken a bath in lost profits from myself and everyone else ordering from them at that time.

I had been debating on picking up The Invention of Lying last week for $14.99 at Best Buy (yeah, I know it's not that great of a movie overall, but I love Ricky Gervais and the first half of that movie is great - it falls completely apart in the 2nd half).

Click on the "Movies" tab at the top menu.

Then click the "Used Movies" on the left menu

Then click on "Format" in the Grey menu bar and select "Blu Ray DVD"

Then click on "Promotions" in the Grey menu bar and select "Previously Viewed"

Yeah, I wanted Book of Eli, but after tax and shipping, almost $14 bucks. No way I'm paying that for an ex-rental.

Just remember that goHastings does NOT guarantee that PV discs come with bonuses (extra disc or DVD, digital copy). Also, some studios have barebones "rental only" discs (e.g., no commentaries, extras, etc.) and this may be what you receive.

Yeah, this is something you have to look out for.

Looks like they've discounted a bunch of PV Blu-rays since the sale started, might be worth a second look.

Ordered:

Shutter - $3.33
The Wrestler - $5.39

Price drops on titles happened today and the 25% is still active.

I just went back for more.

Went ahead and bit on Where the Wild Things Are - $9.40 after shipping and tax. Now I just hope for a blu ray case and that it's not a rental copy.

In Gohastings terminology "Previously Viewed" means it's a former rental. You might get lucky and get one that's not but I doubt it.

I picked up Sherlock Holmes. Lets see what comes. I can always return it but its such a pain in the butt.

I can live with it if its in decent shape with a BR case and original Artwork

jr7936 08-05-10 02:29 PM

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 
if it is a rental copy call them and they might send you the double disc version, its what is going to happen to me and percy jackson

JimRochester 08-05-10 03:41 PM

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 
Bit on Paul Blart, Duplicity and Couples Retreat. Normally would not own these titles but for $11 for all 3 it was worth it. The bitch was the $6 shipping on an $11 order, but even $17 shipped for 3 discs is less than $6 each. So like others before me I just hope they have real Blu-ray cases and are not toasted rentals

As someone who has ordered Previously Viewed from Hastings before, I am reasonably confident some or all will be rentals in rental cases. But you never know. I've received crappy rentals, perfect used, awful used, and I've also received a brand new box set when I ordered used. At least they do have good customer service.

As long as they play OK

I'm okay with it being a previous rental. I just don't want a bare bones 'rental copy'. I won't be too happy if it isn't in a blu ray case though. They'll probably get a call about that if it be the case.

Went in for Bad Lieutenant, Public Enemies and The Hurt Locker, all Blu-rays for $24.XX. Not bad.

Make sure you're choosing "Previously Viewed" only.

cfmoran13 08-06-10 09:30 AM

Re: 25% off Previewed Blu-rays & DVDs @ gohastings.com
 
Picked up (prices include shipping):

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs $9.44, received BD and DVD set in BD case
District 9 $8.08
Brothers $10.26
Where The Wild Things Are $10.26, received bare-bones rental copy in BD case

Considering there wasn't really much on WtWTA anyway, I guess I'm not too upset. Would be nice if it didn't say "RENTAL" across the bottom of the cover, though.

I bought Avatar PV for $11.87 on Monday. Received it today. It was only the single disc "rental exclusive" version.

I called gohastings, and they're going to send me the full Blu-Ray+DVD 2 disc set (new, not previously viewed) and are asking me to mail back the rental exclusive version I got today (using their prepaid shipping label). They'll send the new discs to me ASAP, before receiving my return.

Great customer service.

I'm surprised they haven't added a disclaimer: "Previously Viewed movies are former rentals and may not ship in original cases or with bonus discs and content."
