Re: Apparently U&S is back on October 7th
Picked up Ed Wood for $9.99 this morning. The guy at the register asked me for my phone number; first time that's happened. (No, he was not trying to pick me up lol). The girl who took my trade asked me when I bought the disc I was trading in; I told her years ago. The guy told her, "He doesn't need a receipt to trade in."
Yet another BB first. They often seem clueless on the first day of these promos.
Saw the Alien Anthology on a display touting Prometheus; $24.99 for this with trade is a good deal for anyone who doesn't have it considering the literally days worth of extras it has. Also had all Aliens movies including multiple copies with slipcovers for all you slipcover fans out there.

You could S L O W L Y handover each disc, and maybe you'll get 5 coupons.
Debating on getting Prometheus 3D--not that I want the 3D disc, but like the cover, and for a few bucks more, what the hek--there might be a few more goodies on the 4-Disc version. How was the movie, though. I haven't seen it, but reading about it, looks good. And it's about time we had an Alien prequel. Been waiting about 15 years for it!

I'm sure others will chime in with more personal views.

Anyone know if the display with Magic and Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer is a display that has not been put out at many stores or is it a case if you don't have it by now, too bad.

for what its worth when i finally found the display it was picked over and barely had any left I asked a shirt if they would be getting a restock and he said he didn't hear anything about it.

Re: Apparently U&S is back on October 7th
Turned in five DVDs tonight. Two of them were still sealed and unopened, and the guy made a point of opening them up "just to be sure." First time that ever happened. It seems like a bit of overkill, plus it took him FOREVER to get them open, and this was after waiting in line for ten minutes because they made me wait in the returns line instead of simply doing it at the customer pick-up desk like every other time. Then I took my coupons up to the check-out lane, and none of them worked. Luckily the guy checking me could do a manual override without calling a manager. After all that, I walked out with:
Nightmare Before Christmas-$14.99
How to Make It In America Season 2-$19.99
I Spit On Your Grave Double Feature-$4.99
Road to Perdition-$4.99
The Innkeepers-$4.99
Looked everywhere for a display or endcap with Henry and Magic, but no luck. And asking a worker seemed pointless. Regardless, very happy with the deals, especially Innkeepers.

Instead of giving one coupon per disc traded, they are giving one coupon and crossing off on the receipt.
Picked up:
* American Werewolf in London - $5
* Evil Dead 2 - $5
* Nightmare Before Christmas - $15
Also got the Kevin Smith triple-pack for $5,normal sale price. I'll be getting Prometheus on Tuesday, selling off the 3D copy.

Re: Apparently U&S is back on October 7th
After the usual first-day-of-U&S-cluelessness, the CS person just had me bring my 5 blurays to her and she took off the discount there. For $5/ea, picked up:
House of Flying Daggers
Road to Perdition
Evil Dead 2
Everything Must Go
Red Dawn
I also found one copy of The Blair Witch Project for $5 (w/o U&S). I had tried to get it online, but it went out of stock, so that was a nice surprise.

Just a warning. Seems like Best Buy is trying to dump their "Enhanced For Widescreen" versions during these sales.

Re: Apparently U&S is back on October 7th
Just be aware of the aspect ratios, is all I'm saying. They may not be the original.

Re: Apparently U&S is back on October 7th
Why would you need an "enhanced" Blu-ray. Seems odd. By definition (no pun intended), the information is already there--natively. Maybe these terms have already been on titles, but I don't remember them being there so much on so many titles before.
I've noticed some of these labeled "enhanced", have been cropped. Most of them are the Miramax / Echo Bridge releases. For example, my "enhanced" The Crow: City of Angels, was originally at a 1.85:1 AR, but is actually 1.78:1.
I realized enhanced does not mean cropped. Maybe this is just a coincidence.
Yeah, I recommend it. Especially with your upgrade coupon.

I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't remember - Will they accept other region dvds?

You are absolutely correct and it irritates me that I made that mistake. I'll blame the lack of sleep + early morning combo and take a mulligan on it.
