Apparently U&S is back on October 7th
 
I saw this posted on another site so I thought I would share it here:

I hope this helps someone out. I usually look forward to these sales.

Looking forward to it. Not too much I will want to pick up but have a few titles on the wish list.

jeezus. Hopefully some good exclusives come out during this time.

I'm ready! Hopefully there's a few better movies than the last outing- it seems the one prior to the last had a lot of decent $4.99 bargains.

You've got to be kidding. That last U&S was unbelievable ...

This time though the only thing I know I will pick up is the E.T. digibook and Magic. I'm sure I'll buy a bunch more since stuff always tends to pop up, but I'm not really that anxious to spend a lot of money right now.

Hopefully the ET Digibook is listed at a reasonable price.

And hopefully they have more copies available than they did for Jaws, since demand seemed to exceed supply on that one.

Well it was either stuff I had or wasn't interested in. Also, I guess what I should have specified was stuff that worked out to be $4.99. So there wasn't a lot of $4.99 titles that I wanted, most of which I picked up during the prior sale. Plus I mainly upgrade, and a lot of my collection isn't available on Blu-ray or probably won't be.

Re: Apparently U&S is back on October 7th
 
I noticed today that many of the sale tags are not ending until some time in November. So, I'm not optimistic that we'll be seeing a great variety of new $4.99 titles this time around.

Did you look at the actual section of titles marked down specifically to $9.99? Almost all of those titles actually end on 10/06. I know there were quite a bit of titles that were marked down to $7.99 or $12.99 that ended in November as well. One of the titles marked down to $9.99 that I would really have liked at $5 was European Vacation but that will not be happening now :(

Definitely looking to next Wednesday when the ad is revealed to see if there is any clue to some new $9.99 sales items.

I looked mostly at the horror titles and TV shows. Jennifer's Body, Predator, Hannibal, An American Werewolf in London, The Haunting of Molly Hartley, and the I Spit On Your Grave double feature should remain at $9.99 until November. The Hills Have Eyes 2 and Dylan Dog: Dead of Night will be stuck at $7.99.

Ok, yep those are 2 different sections from the one that has all the titles that are on sale for $9.99 grouped together in one place.

Re: Apparently U&S is back on October 7th
 
My biggest issue with the last one was all the titles I wanted were already at $7.99. I ended up buying a title I wasn't that in love with on the last day of the sale just so I wouldn't lose the coupon.

I wish the single Harry Potter movies were in stock, I'd unload my DVDs of the first five movies to upgrade to Blu.

TexasDVDer 10-01-12 01:42 PM

Re: Apparently U&S is back on October 7th
 
My BB has revamped the whole store and only has about half the number of BD/DVDs as before. I hope I can find something decent during the U&S deal.

Anyone have any idea what the pricing is supposed to be on these? I can't seem to find them on the website at all.

Never get more coupons than items you want. Don't trade in a DVD until you have made sure the store has something you want and it's in stock. Take advantage of the sale, don't let the sale take advantage of you. End of lecture and channeling my inner Ward Cleaver. ;)

don't mean to throw a wet blanket on this but all new $9.99 titles have a 'way' of hitting $14.99 just in time for U&S.

Hopefuuly, someone finds them in-store this week and can check the expiration date on the shelf tag.

You may have to ready the Goldmiddlefinger.

Since those Bonds have been reported being scarce someone asked a BB manager where they were and the computer said that they're to come to stores 10/23... just in time to miss U&S.

The Target Bonds are also short (some stores getting one of each). Supposedly the Walmart Bonds are moved to 10/9 as well.

Take it all with a grain of salt as this is the internet, but my BB had no Bonds nor my Target either. Well they did have DVDs, just no Blu. My Walmart had no Bonds so I ordered through the website with a date of 10/9.

That's where I go wrong every time... I buy soooo much, and then don't watch em. My unwatched pile can reach the moon. And yes, I know I still need to update my collection. Now that Fantasy Baseball is coming to an end, I can try to get caught up on life... (I still won't have a life on Sundays, but football is more manageable)

All 3 Walmarts I went to today had the James Bond/Skyfall display with the Bond blu-rays (new re-releases and 3 exclusive titles ($9.96), and Target's here also had their exclusives out ($9.99 although one was $14.99). I haven't checked BB yet because I thought I should wait for a U&S to pick their exclusives up.

I saw the Bond display in only one of the two Walmarts I was in today. I have no idea why they're not all being put out at the same time.

Was looking around yesterday when I went to pick up Cinderella and noticed they have a two-pack of the original and remake of I Spit On Your Grave for 9.99 though 11/3. so that'll be a nice $5 U&S deal.

Gotta read this shit slower. I thought you said you picked up Cinderella as a two pack with I Spit On Your Grave for $9.99 through 11/3. I was thinking "What the fuck is Disney up to now? And great price!"

I won't say it will happen again, but I've noticed some sales extending beyond the original ending date.

It does happen, but more often than not, the sale prices are available during U&S.

The Walmart Bonds are indeed out most places, but I looked at the Blu Ray release list and it does show You Only Live Twice as being released on the 23rd. You would think they would release all the Bonds at once to keep the excitement going instead of spreading them out. I also hope that Best Buy doesn't raise or in some cases drop a bunch of prices. There aren't many titles I am looking for since the last sale.

Isn't that the whole reason to keep the excitement going though -confused- If you do it all at once people can be done with it at once and that's it. Over and done with.

Re: Apparently U&S is back on October 7th
 
My Dollar Tree had only 1 slim case DVD in stock... about a few dozen copies of something with Basketball in the name. Even on previous occasions they at least had a few other slim case titles. I haven't seen a normal sized DVD case movie at a DT store since before the last U&S.

I guess everyone has already cleared out all of the DT stores in anticipation of the U&S. I seriously doubt that my BB would take multiple copies of this slim case Basketball movie. They probably wouldn't even take 1 as they've given me trouble on slim case DVDs saying they're not real DVDs. I suppose I could replace the slim with a normal case even though the cover wouldn't fit.

So I may not end up doing much U&S this time either (E.T. is about the only temptation right now) if I can't find stuff to trade-in. The Upgrade & Save program should be renamed to the "trade in a crappy DVD from Dollar Tree and save $4" program. My BB didn't have any of the new James Bond BDs (nor did Walmart). I'll buy the new Bond BDs for up to $9.99 each, but not if I have to use an U&S trade-in to get that price.

Re: Apparently U&S is back on October 7th
 
I just looked through the 9.99 titles on the site and there didn't seem to be anything impressive. I couldn't find a single title I need, and only found a couple of maybes. I think the problem is the list doesn't seem that different than last time.

You're not going to jump at the chance to pick up the two Human Centipede movies for a sawbuck?
