You'd think it would be clear by now that I simply don't like you so I argue with you on occassion. But based on your (lack of) punctuation skills, I can see you are a little slow and might have trouble figuring that out.

I don't remember arguing with you before. How can you be so angry at someone you don't know and never met.
So sorry about your anger issues I hope you resolve them someday.

b2net

and I heard that borders was clearing out Blu-ray discs...

whotony

I saw a Platoon(w/dvd) and a The Third Man (Canal version) but at 50% still not cheap enough.

mzupeman2

There are SOME deals to be had. For example, A Beautiful Mind was priced normally at I think at 16.99... 50% off, that's pretty good. There were some others, but mostly yeah, it's cheaper to go to Amazon for a lot of their stuff. But some careful browsing CAN yield some nice results.

Classic Films

Blu-rays are now 60% off. DVD's are 50% off.

Some prices on blu rays

Time Traveler's Wife $8
The Town blu ray + DVD $14.40
MASH $12
Sex And the City $8
Sound Of Music Gift set $36

I found a couple gift cards and figured I better use them before it was too late.

No BDs were cheap enough to bite, but I picked up a couple graphic novels.

Fwiw, the clerks were pretty sure they'd last until at least mid-September. They (Sterling VA) were a larger store and they are still getting new stock in as smaller stores close.

Blu-rays spotted at the Mount Laurel, NJ store (prices are after discount):

The Ultimate Matrix Collection $26 (one copy, front counter)
Coraline w/3d glasses $10
The Man in the Iron Mask (OOP) $15

Also several copies of Life and Planet Earth at the front counter, but 50% off only brings them down to ~$55.

Ha, I wish there were a selection of BD's anywhere near that quality left at my Borders.

sleepyhead55

Yeah, I went to the Ward Centre one today and the BD section was very sparse. I just blind bought Senso BD $12 and a couple of other things. The only other film I was moderately interested in was The Midnight Meat Train but I couldn't really justify paying $9 for that.

For some reason, there were still a bunch of Twilight BD there.

Manzana

That's the biggest reason why I didn't go to any of the store closing sales when both of my stores closed (well, the nearest one closed a while ago and the one about 10 miles away is closing very soon). The last time I had entered a Borders store (probably sometime in late 2010 or very early 2011), they had exactly 2 tiny "pyramids" of BD titles... maybe 30 total, and for DVDs they had another slightly larger display. Unless they shipped in a bunch of new stock for the store closing (highly unlikely) I already knew they had nothing worth looking at to begin with, so why bother going?

Now if I had time and were into reading books, then I might've gone. I surely won't miss Borders. What's sad is that the Borders that already closed was the last store left in an entire corner "strip mall"... now it's totally empty. When it was full it used to have Best Buy, Comp USA, Staples, Borders, Cost Plus World Market, Marshall's or Mervyn's (I always get them mixed up), and various smaller stores. I feel sorry for the owner of that strip mall which generates $0 of rent per month.

Had the morning off, so I decide to stop in. Not much there in the way of BDs (Twilight, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Sunshine Cleaners, Men Who Stare at Goats in abundance). This store has 8 days left according to the signs in the windows. Ended up with a few books and U2 360 at The Rose Bowl for $8.10 + tax.

Bandoman

I picked up Fight Club for $15.

maxfisher

I picked up Much Ado About Nothing (~$6) and The Hustler digibook (~$10.50). Unfortunately, it seems like most of the stores I've been to were cleared out at lower discounts. On the bright side, I've found about a dozen cds I wanted that came out to ~$4 each.

Alan Smithee

Went by the Roseville CA store tonight and ALL the Blu-Rays were locked behind glass doors! Some of them weren't even facing so you could see the titles- if you're going to fucking do that, the title and price at least should be clearly visible. They probably didn't sell too many at full price there.

John Galt

Finally stopped by my local store and they didn't have much left. Probably 30-40 blu-rays total. I ended up getting 2010 for $6 and Billy Madison for $8.

Schloob1

Until the price hit 70% off that's how it was at least 2 of my stores, although I admit you could at least see what the titles were.

melvin

Got some decent deals on some Blu's last night:
Romeo & Juliet $10.50
Bambi $12
Heathers $6
The Town (extended) $11
Grinch (animated) $9
Most were impulse buys but I figured WTH I'd shop there one last time.

Mad Men Season 3 - $15.00
Bottle Rocket (Criterion) - $12.00

Not much else of interest...

matt0009

Went to the two remaining Rhode Island Borders this weekend. The Cranston store was pretty picked through (though had lots of quality books left) yet Providence Place had a good amount of Blu-rays left. Got -

Another Year $11.50
Atonement $6.00
A Christmas Story $7.50
Deliverance $4.50
Bob Dylan: The Other Side of the Mirror $9.00
Hard Candy $6.00
The Lives of Others $6.00
Never Let Me Go $12.00
Requiem for a Dream $6.00
Splice $7.50

Bachmelle

Picked up Beauty and the Beast (Criterion) for $12

Went back for one more:

Bruce Springsteen - The Promise (3CD/3BD box) - $53.60

It was considered a CD, so it was only 60% off. But I still didn't want to wait any longer, and potentially miss out on it, as there was only one copy.

The signs said '10 days left' on Sunday, so I assume they're closing for good around the 14th.

joltman

Anyone know if they are going to drop the percentage again before the last day? Not a BD, but I've been eyeing The Walking Dead - Book 6, and even though it's a good deal now, I keep passing since there's a good amount of copies yet, hoping to get an even better deal
