^ Glad I bought Book of Eli tonight then. Also got Cruel Intentions and Dolphin Tale 3D. I think that makes 25 titles during this U&S, but I lost count... I didn't trade in that many. They gave me the coupon back a LOT, but they took it this time, so I think I'm finally done. I only traded in one actual DVD, plus a bunch of sampler discs...

You must've missed the AQ deals during BF 2011.

Now stores are only getting 1 disc editions.

I picked up mine on Monday ...

I got my coupons back a few times too. I got just over 50. I really can't believe I spent that much. Though the steelbooks I bought were all return/rebuys from November and many of the triples I bought contain a movie I already own and will eBay. I still have a coupon for 4 and the only thing I know I will get is the DK Pt2 BB exclusive.



I kind of wish they would do this only in April and October. I'm getting burnout.

How often do they do this sale? I remember it once last year but I don't remember when it was.

Went into the Hampshire mall in Hadley,MA. Stopped at the $1.09 store and picked up a few DVDs for $1.09 each. Then went into the Best Buy in the same mall and found the 2 disc Blu-Ray of THE LOVELY BONES. Just pulled one of the $1.09 DVDs out of the bag and did an Upgrade and save.

I endured the horrible Geek Squad line once again to trade in another 5 DVDs. I ended up buying Out of Sight, Das Boot, L.A. Confidential, Eternal Sunshine, and Re-Animator. The decent $9.99 titles are starting to get pretty scarce. There are a couple more in stock that I would consider buying, but I don't know. For the first time, I had the guy return my coupons, so I guess I will likely go back once more to look around. Maybe they will get some more titles replenished or get some fresh sale titles. We'll see.

Beasts of the Southern Wild and Moonrise Kingdom just dropped to $15.99.

Are there any new $9.99 titles?

The 99 cent store went to the 99.99 cent store and another dollar store went to 1.15.

You can go to the BBY website, look for "blu-rays" and sort by price. Or wait for other members to do the work for you.

Been waiting for Moonrise to drop. Thanks!

I see Willy Wonka is $9.99 online but it's backordered and says not available for pickup. Anyone know if they usually carry this in store even though it says not available?

Re: Upgrade and Save coming back! 1/13 - 2/2
 
Yes.. I've seen a few titles backordered on the website, but available in store.. It's YMMV, but certainly more than possible.

Yeah, crap. Two titles I want and they are not offered in store! Not sure I wanna drive over to stores and attempt to find them. Not worth the gas.

I've traded about 45 movies during this promotion and think I'm done. Today it took me a long time to find things I wanted:

4.99 - Amadeus, Guns of Navarone, Assault on Precinct 13, Robin Hood PoT, Seven
9.99 - Swordfish/Executive Decision/Point Break Triple Pack

I went in earlier today and got Beasts of the Southern Wild, Moonrise Kingdom, and WWII in 3D. The first two were in stock, very low stock on both though (one or two of each) and I had to order WWII in 3D using the Express thing, and yes they allowed me to use a $5 on it as well.

After trading in three more cell phones for a total of $15, another gift card I had left from a previous cell phone trade in, and three $5 coupons from trading in some DVDs, I got all three for under $10 out of pocket.

Re: Upgrade and Save coming back! 1/13 - 2/2
 
So, went to three best buys.. None of them had Dredd or Chronicle. After scouring the third location, I found three without the slipcover. Won't even mention Avatar 3D.

The worst part is none of the stores have restocked anything in the last few weeks. This whole promotion has been extremely disappointing.

Almost scored the LOTR Trilogy all in SteelBooks(priced $9.99 on shelf)but rang up as $14.99

Manager tried to override the price to $9.99 and apply the coupon but either couldn't or wouldn't go. I was SO close too!! lol!

On a sidenote, I picked up Yes Man and it rang up $4.99 so I got to save the coupon.

Not sure if you guys knew about it or not.

Brent L 01-27-13 05:53 PM

Re: Upgrade and Save coming back! 1/13 - 2/2
 
Of course they had to finally have a dedicated shelf AND full stock of the combo packs after they raised the price of them...

Both after coupon...

Knight and Day $4.99
Prometheus $10.99

Also got a random $5 bonus reward certificate in the mail. So that was nice.

Picked up that 7-disc Rocky Ultimate Collection for $17.99 after U&S. That's a crazy great deal and amazingly I've never owned any of those films and still haven't seen the last one.

I didn't realize The Dark Knight Returns pt. 2 came out Tuesday. So with coupon, it'll be $14.99. :up:
