Re: Best Buy Trade And Save - Oct. 9 - Oct. 29th
I would guess that the person in question either never had a HD-DVD player to begin with, or maybe did, but it died and now they have nothing to play them on. I personally waited until the format war was over, so I never bought a player, but if I got a good deal on the the discs, I might grab them on an impulse.
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.

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

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.
Best Buy Upgrade and save $5 off any Bluray 9.99 or higher. Starts 1/08
Hey everyone.
I was talking to a friend at Best Buy and found out the Upgrade-and-save program is coming back starting next week.
You take in any old DVD (real copy, no burnt copies or porn) in original casing and you get a $5 coupon towards a Blu-ray
In the past it was a select list of movies...this time is alot better
You can use the upgrade coupon for any Blu-ray 9.99 or higher.
If I can get a copy of the ad ill try to scan it.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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).

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

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.
