3rd Trade:

Batman Begins SB $4.99
The Dark Knight SB $4.99
Hangover 2 Combo $7.99

Traded in another 5 and I will save 3 of the coupons for later. No problems today except a bit of a wait at the service desk. They did look at the dvds a bit closer this time, but they took them, which is good considering everything I have brought in has been complete crap. My Dark Knight steel book had 2 wb rewards/ultraviolet copy codes, so someone can have the extra code GWJ2V6QCJMT3. Please post if you use it so others dont waste their time .

Picked up

Sucker Punch (expect to hate it, but $5 in movie cash to something I'll see makes it a write off)
Gremlins 2 ($5)
Planet Earth (for $15 a fairly painless side grade from the HD DVD)
The Human Planet ($15)
Yellow Submarine ($20)
A Dangerous Method ($20)
Truth Or Dare ($5)

I picked up the four seasons of Battlestar Galactica for $14.99 a piece today. More than I like to spend in one go but I wanted to make sure I got them all before the prices change. There's still a handful of movies I'd like to pick up but I think I'm finished for this week.

The Final Destination
The Butterfly Effect
Ice Age
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
The Dark Knight
Batman Begins
Transporter 3
I checked the tags of some of these today. The tags for the Batman steelbooks and Final Destination 5 said they expire on 7/21. I'm not sure about the others you have listed.

Likely not, there is 3 versions: the Combo, the Blu, and the Steelbook, the sale tag only lists the SKU for the Combo.

I found Blade II on a BD display near the movie section, not on the shelves.

Though it took about 10 minutes with customer service to undo the mistakes the cashier made trying to override the computer on music blu-rays, I made out like a bandit.

First, even though it was expired they honored a 6/6/12 rain check on Yellow Submarine. With the raincheck & coupon, it came to $12.99 (see this thread : http://forum.dvdtalk.com/store-forum...st-buy-cs.html )
CSN Blu & 2 CD's $16.99
Madonna Truth Or Dare $4.99
Coraline 2 Disc $4.99
Dazed & Confused $4.99

The only time I've never gotten a coupon, and had to do it the way you described, is when they've run out of coupons before the promotion ended. And that was only once.

It appears there are two different sets of coupons,floating around the stores. I currently have three I haven't used yet, and two of them (which I got today), say they don't expire until 8/11/12, which is when the promo is supposed to run to.

The other, which I got by doing the "Phone Upgrade Eligibility Check" on Sunday, actually says it's for this on the coupon, and it expires on 7/21. I think, perhaps, that some stores mixed the coupons up? Either way, I'm going to be sure to use this one, just in case, before the week is out.

Did my first ever upgrade today, I gave them 6 DVDs, and the dude that was brought over to help the girl cashier told me that only 5 would be allowed but she was like it's ok just put it on a separate receipt. Sweet!

got:
Batman Begins (steel-book) [have it on HD-DVD]
Dark Knight (steel-book) [have the Mask Target version]
Blade [... I guess to complete Trilogy]
Blade II [wanted this one]
Blade Trinity [... to complete Trilogy]
Robin Hood [wanted this one]


They didn't have some of the movies I wanted or they were too much, so I couldn't pass up on getting them for basically free after coupon and $5 movie thingy, well except RH which was $10 after coupon and has a Bourne Movie Ticket.

Does Blade II have a movie ticket?... checked all 25+ copies and none had them.

MI: Ghost Protocol - $5
UFC: Best of 2011 - $15
The Office S7 - $15
Batman Begins - $5
The Dark Knight - $5
Sucker Punch - $5
V for Vendetta - $5

And all the $5 titles (minus MI) came with $5 towards TDKR, which makes this deal unbelievable, IMO.

I have those as well the HD-DVd and Mask version, haven't build the courage to double dip on them yet. What made you get them?

Picked up Ransom today but it is $15 in store and $10 online. They adjusted the price to $10 but didn't want to also add the t&s coupon on top of that. Manager said it was ok this time buty in future will only allow he coupon for in store prices.

Did you watch it yet? I loved it but I can see where the people who aren't fluent in spanish missed the funny in this movie.

Most of my laughs came from his use of the language. He really impressed me with his spanish. The use and dialect is what was funny.

Nope, blind buy for me. I'm not expecting much from it, it doesn't seem like Anchorman or anything of the sort. I'm fairly fluent in Spanish, so I was hoping there would be lots of little lines spoken not translated that may be funny. And I just like Will Ferrell.

Picked up Firefly today for $14.99. After hearing everyone talk about it for years now, I finally decided to bite the bullet. Hope it lives up to the hype. Also got Insomnia for $4.99, mainly for the movie cash, although I love the movie. Not sure if it needed the upgrade, but for what amounts to basically free, I'll take it.
