Do they have Green Lantern, X-Men: First Class, Scream 4, or Fast Five out under the 5 for $30?

mattysemo247

Yeah, I’m not liking this new sale much either. A ton of the newer ones (Transformers 3, Black Swan, X Men First Class, Thor, Narnia 3, etc) were still $16.99. Everything else was $9.99. Nothing in between. But I did manage to find some good ones. Picked up Disney’s Earth, Alice in Wonderland, Pirates 4 (in an actual blu ray case with artwork), Horrible Bosses and Shift 2 (360). Horrible Bosses is actually the unrated version with the correct artwork and disc. Wanted to pick up Green Lantern, but they cut the back part of the artwork off for some reason. Hopefully they do bring back the 5 for $20 sale though. I was OK with $4 per movie before, but $6 for a rental version is cutting it close.

Yep, I asked a BB employee the same thing on Tue. She siad 5/$20 was going away. My question is, when the DVD/BR sale is off, what will be advertised?
2/$20 and 4/$20. Just a guess.

This new sale will last through the end of the year.

mooovies

i was not happy with the sale,i thought a week ago tron blu ray,black swan blu ray(march and april releases on blu ray used)was 14.99,now there are 16.99.....did they raise the prices for the sale?

Manzana

I agree totally. I didn't even know until I read this thread today that the 5 for $20 ended and was replaced with 5 for $30 or 4 for $20. If there were a decent amount of $10-$14.99 titles, it might be OK, but there aren't. Last time I was there digging for $9.99 or less BDs, I remember seeing a handful of $12.99 and $14.99 ones, but probably nothing I'd want to pay $6 for. So they have effectively raised the prices on the majority of their stuff.

I have to assume either they were selling too many BDs in the 5 for $20 and thought they could jack the prices up a little and get away with it or maybe they're just testing the waters to see how people react. I think they'll find having dropped the 5 for $20 that their used BDs sales will decline quite a bit. I had a tough time at $4 each, and now with so many barebones RENTAL versions everywhere, it'll be extremely tough for me to find 5 non-RENTAL titles worth $6 each to me.

I'm not going to make a special trip, but if I happen to go by a Blockbuster tomorrow, I'll swing by but I'll be looking for games over BDs. Of course any of the good games will be gone today and I just don't feel like being out shopping on Saturday after a week of hellwork.

This 5/$30 used pricing is pretty darn blah in regards to Blu-rays, but it's exquisite for games. Spotted Dead Space 2, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Fallout: New Vegas, and a bunch of others that you can net for $6 a game.

The 5 for $40 NEW pricing on Blu-rays and DVDs, however, works out extremely well. Walked out with Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3 (the multi-pack), Red: Special Edition, Watchmen, and Lost: Season One on DVD at that price.

I got


Green Lantern
Scream 4
Lost Season 2
Band of Brothers
Prison Break Season 2


damn good deal imo

zoran009

is there a coupon for online or just store?

Manzana

Wait. Are those brand new or used? If they're brand new those are screaming deals at $8 each. I would've assumed used (Band of Brothers or Lost BD sets used for $6 each would still be great deals), but given gryffinmaster's post which mentioned Lost S1 as part of the new ones I'm thinking they're all new?

If I had known they would have brand new TV season sets on BD this cheap, then I would have gone. I had no reason to think this because I've only seen BD movies for under $14.99 there... never once a BD TV season. All the good stuff is probably long gone by now.

mattysemo247

Like others have said, it's a pretty good deal on the TV season sets. I was thinking about picking up the complete series of Lost for $30, but it was DVD and I really wanted the Blu version. They also had sets of Prison Break, Arrested Development and a bunch of HBO series (BOB, Pacific, True Blood, Entourage, Deadwood)

Manzana

OK. I still need someone to spell it out for me: are all these 5 for $40 BD TV sets new or used? New it's an awesome deal. Used it's a decent deal. Also, if anyone finds out from the store if this deal will be going on Monday, that would helpful. I've heard both that it ends Sunday and ends Monday.

mattysemo247

Used. And like I said in my post, they are DVD TV sets, not Blu. But they still qualify for the sale.

Manzana

Thanks for the clarification! It's still a decent deal for used DVDs, but now as exciting as new BDs as I originally thought. Now I don't feel like I've got to hurry over there today. I'll most likely call them tonight or Monday morning to see if the deal is still going on then and swing by at my convenience. I'm still mainly interested in games, but reading SD it sounds like a lot of the Amazon game flippers already struck most Blockbusters on Saturday. It's just not worth competing with them when I already have so many games and little time to play them.

PopcornBandit

Is the 5 for $40 still going on or was that just for those three days?

groundhog

I can't say for sure, but I think it is still going on. And it is 5 for $30....$12.99 and less.

jmck407

at the BBV I was at earlier this afternoon, the sale is still on, and 5/$39.99 is the new movie price. Got:

9
clash of titans
shrek 4
cloudy w/chance of meatballs
alice in wonderland

may still go back and snag narnia 1-3, and TS 1-2.

groundhog

Wow, the deal keeps getting worse and worse......

DirkBelig

No kidding. Up next: 5/$49.99!

groundhog

I am holding out for 5 for $60 then I will see what they have! LOL!!!!

jmck407

the used blu bundle deals of 5/$29.99 or 3/$19.99 were still available when I was there today. As many have said....passed on those, since everything from that bunch I wanted was snagged during the now gone 5/$20 used blu bundle deal.

PopcornBandit

I thought it was 5 for $40 on new titles $12.99 or less? I guess I was wrong.

dino88

No, you're right.

It was always...

3 for $25 or 5 for $40 on NEW dvds/blu-rays $12.99 or less

3 for $20 or 5 for $30 on USED dvds/blu-rays/games $14.99 or less

The sale is good through the end of the year.

groundhog

For the week of Black Friday I was handed a flyer that was 3 for $20 on 12.99 and under...and 5 for $30 on 12.99 and under. Oh well....not going there anyway...who knows what it is now.

FranklinShepard

I have altered the deal. Pray I do not alter it further!
