This might be the funniest thing you've posted in awhile.:lol:

Just got back. Picked up

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (with Cinemanow code) $4.99
The Princess Bride $4.99
Les Miserables (1998) $4.99
The Departed (Steelbook) $4.99
Avatar 3D ($14.99)

Be wary if you buy one of the Cinemanow special Blu Rays. The lady at customer service rang it up and hit decline without asking me about the Cinemanow code. I had to point out to her that I did want the code with it and she had to re-ring it up and and accept the free code.

It's pretty easy to figure out what's on sale through the site:

I traded in blockbuster previously viewed blurays before in those DVD cases they come in. HD-DVDs were also accepted in there regular cases. I think it depends on the rep, today they didn't even bother to check my submissions for discs inside.

Strongly agree with the bolded part. The woman that took my trade-ins and rang me up took the 3 dvds I was trading and just threw them in a box behind her without opening the case. It really does depend on how fickle someone is going to be about the program.

I grabbed Jaws, Amadeus, and the Kubrick triple feature for $5 each (after coupon). They didn't even have stock on several that were advertised. :(

They took my blu-rays. They were not sure about it but since I am a regular customer they accepted them.

How'd you manage Jaws for $5? It's on the website at $17.99, and I believe it was stickered at that price when I was at the store today. I'll totally pick that up tomorrow if it's ringing up $9.99 before the U&S.

There were reports of people finding it at $9.99 around Christmas and it was stickered $9.99. I guess there were a few left.
It rang up as Horror - BD - Jaws - $5.00 Pack Disc... whatever that means.

Why the heck would you want to trade in BD's?

You know they are sending these to be ground up, destroyed and recycled?

Do you not have anymore DVDs you don't need?

Are they are just absolute crap BDs that are worthless and you really want to get rid of them?

There are simply some Blu-rays you cannot get $5 net profit for used, either on eBay, Amazon Trade-In, craigslist, or in the forums (especially after shipping).

I unfortunately am presently stuck with a few Mel Brooks BD's after biting on the set for a very low price that I'd be happy to be able to net $5 for, but cannot.

Picked the blu rays up at dollar tree (they had no dvds) for $1 then traded then in for $5 2 hours later. Quick $40 savings.

It's intense, gruesome and beautiful. It's long but there's so much suspense and tension that the movie never feels long. There are some really amazing sequences also, I don't think I blinked during the cab scene and the finale. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. It's just a really, really well made movie.

Here's a couple hundred reviews:

Thanks.
