that's the part I haven't been able to understand. Why no parity in storefont pricing ?

Re: Upgrade and Save coming back! 1/13 - 2/2

I've picked up over 60 titles at five different stores and NETWORK is the only one I haven't seen yet. I'll post a full list at the end of the three weeks, but some highlights of what I got:
  • All 16 Triple Features that were on sale. Only missing slipcovers for Scorsese and V for Vendetta/Watchmen/Constantine.
  • Five steelbooks (all $4.99 a/c): The Book of Eli, The Hangover, The Matrix, Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
  • I passed on Casablanca and Ben Hur to wait for a deal on the 2-packs releasing in March (Casablanca/The African Queen and Ben-Hur/The Ten Commandments)
  • Pineapple Express for $2.99 after coupon. It was in the ad last week for $4.99 a/c but it was on sale for $7.99 and it scanned fine with the U&S coupon.
  • Good finds for $4.99: Donnie Darko 4-disc, Fort Apache (non-U&S), The Lovely Bones 2-disc, and Restrepo.

Taken 2 is 12.99 as part of a 2-day sale. A few other movies on sale, but nothing to get excited about.

edit: didn't notice, but SBJ has a separate thread on this.

Hmmm. I didn't know about this. I looked it up on Amazon and it's coming out 3/12. I bought Casablanca with U&S on 1/15, so if there's a good deal on it on release day I'd still be just under my 60 day silver returns. However, with U&S being over I'd only get back $4.99 having flushed away a $1 DT trade-in.

I expect that there won't be any $10 or less deals on this 2 pack when it's released, so I'll probably end up keeping Casablanca from U&S and just waiting for a $5 deal on The African Queen.

I've totally given up on The Lovely Bones 2 disc BD. Every store only has the 1 disc. I guess it was just pure luck that others found the 2 disc in their store. I have a question: did anyone who got the The Lovely Bones 2 disc BD for $4.99 AC buy it after the first week of the sale? My theory is only the first week's inventory had 2 disc editions mixed in. Now stores are only getting 1 disc editions.

The one I found was the last one. It was on a display with other 9.99 discs. I had no idea the 2 disc was rare, but I was happy to get it.

I'm hoping my Best Buy carries them for $14.99 each, making them $9.99 each when the next U&S comes around. So I'm not really saving any money, just one spot on my shelf :-)

I bought mine yesterday. It was the last copy in store.

Are the steelbooks still $9.99? I want to get Book of Eli. Both of the versions online are $14.99. I can't tell if either is a Steelbook. I'm thinking the price went up, but just want to confirm...

Re: Upgrade and Save coming back! 1/13 - 2/2

I saw The Departed steelbook last week, but when I checked my BB app it didn't even show it as an item, so I had no idea whether it was marked down to $10 or not. Is it? I was surprised to see Sherlock Holmes 2 SB for $10 with a tag on the shelf.

For those that really want Casablanca, I saw it at Wal-Mart for $9.99. I know that you guys are looking for it for $5 but if you can't find it in time, $10 isn't a bad price to pay for that disc.

I traded in 2 and got Scrooged and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. When I got home I found in the bag the 2 coupons still stapled to the receipt that I had just used.

Unfortunately, GDT was cheaper a month or two ago, when it was on sale for $9.99 AND it was part of the BOGO free promo.

You sure that wasn't the BD/dvd combo pack? All the re-issuses are sticker priced at $19.99 I believe.

I think this is the link to the non-combo steelbook.

I thought it only worked on titles $9.99 and above! Is it worth it you think to try and do it with ones priced at $7.99? Has this worked for others?

Re: Upgrade and Save coming back! 1/13 - 2/2

Can I use the Upgrade coupon with a Reward Zone coupon? Or would one cancel out the other?

Yes, you can (assuming you mean a RZ certificate)

Does BB make you provide any personal information when trading in the discs? Name, address, etc.?

I've never seen it work on anything under $9.99. If this is the case I'm sure it would've been mentioned on some site at some point on how to get practically free movies. Maybe he should check his receipt. I just bought Pineapple Express this past Monday and even though the signage indicated $7.99 it rang up $9.99 and I was able to utilize the coupon.

It was in their weekly ad for $4.99 after coupon, $9.99 regular price. It was simultaneously on sale for $7.99. I was prepared to state my case for getting it for $2.99 but it rang up fine with the coupon. My thinking is they made an exception in the system to cover their error.

I've tried to buy blu rays before that I didn't know were on sale for under $9.99. In both of those cases it wouldn't interact with the coupon.
