Site still shows the Blu at 24.99 on page and in cart, yet the first link clearly says "Paranormal Activity on Blu-ray — Just $9.99!".

the movie was ok but not a keeper for me.

Other may disagree esp with the $9.99 price.

I saw this deal posted (I didn't even go to BBY's site to check the $9.99 price), and the few reviews I read (including the one I trust the most at dvdmg) were not particularly positive. It sounds like a pretty slow movie filmed for a $15,000 budget. After all the raves on Frozen which (I'm sure had a bigger budget) was not worth $9.99 to me (maybe $5.99) I'm going to be a little more cautious on blind buys. Maybe when it's under $3 at Big Lots I'll blind buy it.

I'm sure this ties in with Paranormal Activity 2 releasing in theaters today.

An extremely slow movie with a bit of a jump at the end. Totally mystified by all of the praise. COu couldn't pay me to sit through it again.

Still showing up $24.99. This is turning out to be the worst deal of the day ever.
Oh well, it's on Netflix watch instantly anyways, so I'll hold onto my 10 bucks.

I just left bb. I asked the guy at the door if they match their online prices and he said yes. So I take the disc to customer service with my iPhone showing the deal of the day page. They won't match it because it says "online only." oh, well. I tried.

At the end of the day, BB.com is gonna be like "damn, nobody bought our deal of the day! See, Joe, I told you we should have come up with a better deal." Then because no one bought it for $9.99, this will be on sale soon for $7.99...

maybe BB is just hoping people wont notice that they're getting charged more than they thought and just order anyway.

That's the DVD now, though. But yeah, it's pretty amazing they can make the same mistake two days in a row...

I was just checking last night around midnight to see if my local BB had it in stock (planned to get it along with the Wolfman) and it showed up at 9.99 so I bought it.

So did ANYONE else get in on this deal? If not I call shenanigans. I checked on this periodically all day long and I never saw it fixed...

I saw it at 9.99 late yesterday. Decided against it since I have it in my Netflix instant queue.
