Some of the HD-DVD discs were combo discs which were playable on DVD players for the DVD side so I know they were being sold for really cheap at some point and people with or without a player were picking them up. $5 is my price-point for upgrading my HD-DVD to Blu-ray so Warner's Red2Blu program was something I took advantage of. Great because I got to keep my HD-DVD discs and bought their Blu-ray equivalent for $5.

Hopefully Best Buy does another one of these Trade and Save deals in the future with their sales staff being fully informed of dealing with the sale on day one and without them jacking up prices on some of the titles after the first week.

It looks like several of the T&S titles have gone on sale. Unfortunately, price matching does not preserve your coupon, so in most cases the new sale price is above the T&S price. However, there are a few titles that have dropped below their T&S prices, so you can take your receipts in to Customer Service and get them price adjusted.

I believe all of these titles were $9.99 after T&S coupon, but they are on sale now for $6.99, so you can get $3 adjusted:

Punisher: War Zone
Rambo
Trainspotting
Good Will Hunting

Do anyone able to get their $5 coupon back after they returned Trade & Save blurays?

TheBang

Why would it matter? The coupon is expired, as of Oct. 29.

i havent used this before. so if i bring in Punisher warzone and Rambo dvds. i'll be able to upgrade those to blu ray for 1.99 each? is that right? or is it 5.00 off the second price on there?

Ugh. Party pooper.

Found this on a slickdeals thread today

Assuming this is accurate at all, this could be a great deal for everyone since there doesn't seem to be any restrictions on titles.

Gizmo

Good deal if it's off any BD. Seems to good to be true, but probably trying to clear out some space.

darkhawk

If it is coming back, I'm ready for it.

laidbacklarkin

be prepared to be rejected on the flimsiest grounds by arrogant gasbags posing as managers. am voting for BB to go down the drain in 2012...at least shutter a ton of stores. an abomination of a company without the slightest semblance of service.

joltman

Yes, because one less store of competition will surely make sure we pay less for Blu-rays.
FTR, I have never had any issues with deals, including the Trade and Save, or coupons at Best Buy

Superdaddy

This is interesting if true. I almost did this the last time they ran it, but never got around to getting to the store. The few titles I did want ended up being the same discounted price (or cheaper) on BF.

If it's really going to be on any BD $10 and up this time, it could be really exciting. I wonder how long the lines will be to trade in the DVDs.

b2net

I hope the "fine print" doesn't say the discount is taken off "regular price"...

DVD Polizei

In this case, I'd gladly pay MORE for Blu-rays, because a "sale" at Best Buy is just a fucking pain in the asshole. At least with BB gone, if something did go on sale, it wouldn't take an Act of Congress and the entire state's National Guard to get what was advertised.

Well said.

If you ever purchase something from Amazon where they are matching Best Buys ad price (and they do that frequently), please tell them you would prefer to pay the original price instead. Thanks!

Peep

Well said.

To each his own. I love Best Buy and never have issues at any of their stores. It would be a sad day for me when I can't go into a Best Buy and browse DVD's and video games.

Gizmo

Err, sometimes these "sales" are sponsored by the studios trying to get rid of excess stock. While you might think Amazon is price matching Best Buy, they are simply going along with whatever rebate might be offered to them.

I'm also pretty sure Amazon likely has the lower price over Best Buy more than 50% of the time. I'm sure cherry-picking some titles would work, but is anyone going to pay $55 for Chuck S3 on Blu-ray from Best Buy (just a made up price).

Wait so it shows Boardwalk Empire for $30 on BLU with coupon? Damn, guess thats a buy from me.

asianxcore

Definitely in for Boardwalk Empire.

kenbenobi

Not sure if I'm reading you right. Are you saying the titles you listed BEFORE that sentence are all $12.99 with coupon? If so, I'm all over Cowboys & Aliens and POTA

Schloob1

Prices hold true it looks like possibly a lot of their $9.99 titles on sale now may hopefully still be on sale. Going to go right away for sure if that is the case.
