Re: Best Buy Upgrade and Save 7/14 - 8/10

The two Best Buy stores near me each had a Best of BBC America endcap with great prices on lots of BBC Video Blu-rays (and even better deals if you subtract $5 for a U&S coupon). Here are some of the titles I remember seeing (including all the ones I bought!):

$14.99
Being Human S4 (with coupon 83% off list price)
Primeval Volume 3 (with coupon 83% off list price)
Doctor Who S7.1 (with coupon 67% off list price)
Doctor Who S7.2 (with coupon 67% off list price)

$19.99
Doctor Who S5 (with coupon 83% off list price)
Torchwood S1 (with coupon 85% off list price)
Torchwood S2 (with coupon 81% off list price)
Sherlock S1 (with coupon 63% off list price)
Sherlock S2 (with coupon 63% off list price)
Ripper Street S1 (with coupon 57% off list price)
Copper S1 (with coupon 75% off list price)

If you are interested and have a Best Buy near you, you should go to the store, since I found the website to be unreliable for what was in stock. For example, the website says S1 & S2 of Torchwood are not sold in stores, but both stores near me had several copies of each season.

Mine did NOT have a BBC section, however I wound up finding a few and bought them.

Didn't even know Copper was available otherwise I would have bought that

Re: Best Buy Upgrade and Save 7/14 - 8/10 (Your Haul Thread)

Doctor Who Season 7.5
Doctor Who The Snowmen
Ripper Street Season 1 (blind buy)
Warner 4 Pack (Comedy)
X-Men Trilogy

Really didn't want of these but I already traded stuff in. Should have looked at my stores pathetic stock before Walked around for 45 minutes before settling.

Was going to wait for the Complete Doctor Who S7, but figured why not (they are easy flips and I want to rewatch a few episodes anyway)

Only got the X-Men Trilogy ($19.99 after coupon) for the $10 Wolverine Cash. Will probably sell off the Blu-rays making back my money and keep the Digital Copies.

I *might* do a few more for some Wolverine cash (selling the BD or giving it to my father in-law), but stock is just so damn bad at my stores I won't find much of anything.

I had better luck at Wal-mart grabbing the Matrix Triple Pack for $12.99.

The Buy More, Save More promotion is apparently still going on on-line (for selected titles, buy 1 for 9.99, 2 for 12.99 and 3 for 14.99). Anyone know if this is still going on in-store and, more importantly, if it would combine with U&S?

After U&S:

$4.99 The Evil Dead
$7.99 X-Men
$7.99 X2
$7.99 X-Men: The Last Stand

The X-Men movies were a great deal, as each of them came with $10 Hollywood movie cash for The Wolverine.

"Cabin In The Woods" had a shelf tag of 9.99 but rang up at 14.99. Had to wait a few minutes for a manager to do a price override but I ended up getting it for 4.99. Also got the "Scarface" steelbook.

Re: Best Buy Upgrade and Save 7/14 - 8/10

Everything went smoothly for me during day #1 of U&S. No line at CS and I was able to do everything in one transaction.

I picked up:

Primeval: Vol. 3 - $9.99
Being Human: S4 - $9.99
Dinosaur - $9.99

There aren't many $9.99 titles in-store if you don't count the ones on the 3/$15 rack and save station. With one or two exceptions, I feel the endcaps are pretty weak this time around. Compared to past U&S's, my 'want' list is pretty skimpy.

For anyone who has done this :

Are they picky about which dvd's they accept as a trade-in?

Not at all. They take pretty much anything except porn.

My BB usually don't even peek inside the case to see if there's actually a DVD there.

Re: Best Buy Upgrade and Save 7/14 - 8/10 (Your Haul Thread)

First haul:

X-Men Trilogy - 19.99
X-Men First Class - 9.99
Seven Psychopaths - 9.99
The Hunter - 4.99
Rust and Bone - 4.99

I picked up the two X-men items since I wanted two $10 movie cash certificates. The weird thing about my order was that, other than Rust and Bone, the other 4 items all came up with a $5 coupon bundle discount, so they couldn't use my Upgrade and Save coupon. The manager explained that one of the sale items triggered this. I didn't really care since they gave me back all 5 coupons and I was still paying the price I expected to pay anyways. It was just somewhat strange, so I thought I would mention it since other people seem to be buying the X-Men titles.

In the past for me, they wouldn't accept the DVDs without a UPC. Other times, they don't even check.

I've given my Best Buy plenty of "holy" dvds when it comes to UPC's. Mainly because I can't get rid of them any other way (unless I just give them away which I've done plenty of too). They never seem to complain and just check for a disc inside and make sure it looks like a legit release which it always is.
