Very soooooon. I've slowly been adding them into my phone app. When I'm done, I just need to export the file, and import it into blu-ray.com. I'll probably do it by the end of next weekend. And yes, I realize blu-ray.com has a phone app now. But it wasn't available when I started cataloging my titles, and can only handle blu-rays, so I'm sticking with what I've been using, since I can catalog DVD's and HD-DVD's as well...

Don't forget about Cashback as well...

Store pick-up is no longer available for Star Trek TNG right now, but I'm sure it will return tomorrow morning once it is released...

I'm debating on whether to get just a few titles. Probably MI:4 at least.
I bought over 40 during the last U&S promo. Yep, we're crazy... Just don't ask me how many of those I have watched yet...

I didn't know that. After seeing the app, my life is no different. o_O

Cashback? It's now (2:12 am EST) showing available for pickup.

So the best deal would be to order ST:TNG BD at the full $60, pick it up in store, then use the upgrade coupons for things in-store (because they don't work with online orders, right?) on a separate transaction?

I picked up the four seasons of Battlestar Galactica during the (lame) private shopping event. There were about two employees there for every customer in the store.

Picked up:

Final Destination 5 4.99
Flash Gordon 4.99
Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies 4.99
The Butterfly Effect 4.99
Super 8 7.99 (sale price)

They checked the condition of my DVDs on my 1st trip in for some reason (the guy didn't seem to know what he was doing, anyway), so I was a little worried with this batch. I brought in some real garbage. But they took them no problem (it was a different store).

Still have 2 coupons left, somehow. Will probably go back for The Final Destination and Total Recall. I wish The Innkeepers was cheaper than 12.99.

We aren't allow to mention specific Cashback sites on here anymore, but the most popular one has 2.4% cashback at BB on movies. A Bing or Google search for "cash back on purchases" should direct you.

Yes, your 2nd statement is correct.

Barbarella is a total hoot if you like late 60s, over the top camp. The look is pure psychedelic Op-Art, and you have nekkid Jane Fonda in the opening credits (and shirtless John Phillip Law as well).

I'd hold off on the Batman steel books if only because there is bound to be an even spiffier edition of all 3 films later when TDKR comes to home video.

What do you use for cataloging your titles ?

Oh boy, I may be in trouble again. I was bored, so I scoured BB.com and found 30 more titles I want that are $9.99. Granted, they won't all be available in-store, but even if half of them are, I may go crazy again...

EDIT: Only 9 out of 30 available in store, and I decided to delete one of those. So only 8 on my "buy" list. Granted, some of the "unavailable" ones may actually have one copy in-store, but it is unlikely...

Second run of this promo. Got the following:

Hang 'Em High $9.99
Ice Age BD/DVD/DC $4.99
We Were Soldiers $4.99*

*This was a lucky score. Most of the copies on the shelf were the new ones in the red slipcovers. But I found an old copy with the original cover art (no slipcover obviously) tagged at $9.99. It didn't ring up for that price, but the CSR cheerfully got someone to adjust it, and I didn't even have to ask. The register failed to deduct the $5 upgrade discount, so she credited $5 plus tax back to my credit card.

MI trilogy
Firefly
Mel Brooks Collection
Taxi Driver and 4 more this morning from Hastings

You can export it to a .csv file with only the title and barcode, and have it emailed to you by the app. Then in Excel you can remove the title column, leaving only the barcode. Then you can import that file into blu-ray.com or other site you may store your collection at.

Called on Sunday to make sure MI4 BB excl. was still going to be on sale today and she told me until the 8/24 or something like that.

Anyway, went today and picked up (all 4.99 w/ T&S):
The Sting 100th Ann w/coupon
Nutty Professor 100th Ann w/coupon
MI4 BB exclusive
Taps
Heavy Metal (I finally own this movie)
Kung Fu Panda 3D (for some reason there was a 9.99 tag on this and it was enclosed in a case. I didn't even notice it until a BB employee pointed it out to me during a price check)

Also 4.99 (or 5.00) w/PM to Fry's or WM.com (No T&S required)
Batman the Movie
Speed (for a gift)
Hey Dude Where's My Car
Super 8 (w/slip)

Hoping to get a decent deal for Strike Back in 2 weeks. I already watched the season, but I really want to hear the commentary tracks with Winchester and Sullivan. Those guys are a blast to watch.

Blade
Blade: Trinity
Ice Age 2: The Meltdown
Ice Age 3: Age Of The Dinosaurs
MI4: Ghost Protocol

---

FYI, some Best Buy employees are grabbing the LIGHTER WEIGHT Blu-ray Combo Pack WITHOUT the Best Buy Exclusive sticker, telling people, "Yeah, this is the same thing." The Best Buy Exclusive pack is apparently busting out the lenticular cover, because it was only made for two discs. So, if you see a crapload of perfectly-looking MI:4 packs, these are probably only the non-Best Buy Exclusive versions.

Obviously, YSMV (Your Store May Vary)

Used the 2 coupons that I got yesterday and picked up:

Boss: Season 1 ($17.99)

Friends with Benefits ($9.99) -- I've already seen the movie, but I'd like to have a Mila Kunis fix handy.


Recycled 5 more today:
Collateral Damage --- Bought the Eraser/Collateral Damage 2 BD set yesterday for $8
Under Siege 2 --- Bought the Under Siege 1 and 2 movie set BD yesterday for $8

Underworld 1-3 -- Bought the 4 movie BD set in the last sale.

Not sure what I'm going to get next. My Best Buy as of tonight was out of stock on alot of the titles.
