Re: Borders Blu Rays 50% off and
You apparently didn't look at what I posted and why so defensive. I never said you needed a math lesson.
I said they take the extra ten percent off the final price after all other discounts.
They way they sell it to you makes it sound like instead of 40% off you get 50% off the price and you do not.
What's the difference anyway there is no more plus rewards it's over. Try not to act so injured when some one is simply having a discussion with you when you disagree with the other persons comments.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Re: Borders Blu Rays 50% off and
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.

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
