I'm holding out for the complete 7th series. I almost bought series Six P1 and P2 when they were on sale, and was glad when I saw the Complete 6th series on sale for $19.99. In looking back, I guess it did take a year for the price to drop, but I'm so far behind in watching everything that it didn't matter.

The complete 7th series was announced with details on July 10th. An internet search should turn up the details. I don't want to post the link here, as I think it is a competing site.

BBC Home Entertainment has announced and detailed the Blu-ray release of Doctor Who: The Complete Seventh Series, a set that features all 13 Series Seven episodes, both the 2011 and 2012 Doctor Who Christmas specials ("The Doctor, The Widow & The Wardrobe" and "The Snowmen"), and numerous extras including commentaries, behind-the-scenes bonus content and more. The Complete Seventh Series streets on September 24th.

Special features include:

Audio Commentaries
Behind the Scenes Featurettes
Episode Prequels
Doctor Who on The Nerdist
Doctor Who in the U.S.
Last Days of the Ponds
Pond Life
The Science of Doctor Who
The Companions
Doctor Who at Comic Con

Does anyone know how much Dick Tracy is ringing up in store? I saw it in a BB the other day but put it back. And I can't seem to find the item online either as well.

Second haul:

Blade Runner - $4.99
The Evil Dead - $4.99
Evil Dead 2 - $4.99
Insomnia - $4.99
Scarface (Steelbook) - $4.99

Once again it showed up as "Coupon bundle" on my receipt so they gave me back my 5 coupons. I'm not complaining.

BestBuy.com only triggers an "Available" option when there are 3 or more copies in stock at the store. Mine is indicating not available for pickup, but there were 2 copies in a $9.99 display so I was able to pick it up. It wasn't anywhere to be found under Comedy.

There are actually some good deals on catalog titles this go-around. I'm going to go back later tonight and pick up some of the Universal decade-themed repackages that I wasn't able to get when they were part of the 100th Anniversary promotion from last year.

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

If anybody gets one of those Universal decade themed release which include the BD and Digital Copy/UV Code, I would advise opening them in the car. I bought The Jerk, and when I got home and cracked it open,there was no insert for the DC/UV. I took it back to Best Buy, and they ended up opening all of the copies on the shelf until one had it. Out of all them, only one actually had it inside the case.

There may have been a batch of these that went out without the insert, so FYI.

Interesting. I looked on the BB website and every store near me was showing the Orphan Black blu-ray as unavailable. But the first store I went to did have a copy in stock that I picked up with a U&S.

There was almost nothing in the circular this morning. BB is really letting the media be a sink or swim portion of the business

At this point considering how crappy BB's selection is, Im better off keeping the DVDs I have left.

I may use one for next week on GI Joe Retaliation Extended Cut depending on price.

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

Best Buy's website has Criterion’s Naked Lunch for $19.99. I figured for little hassle, I could get a store to pricematch their own website and apply an U&S coupon. No dice. It looks like Best Buy stores have pulled all Criterions from their shelves, probably to avoid matching B&N’s current sale prices AND combining U&S coupons. A store I just left that is well known for stocking plenty of Criterions had none this morning.

What a shame.

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

A month ago? I'm not sure. They definitely had them in stock when BB’s site had pricematched Amazons and most CC Blus were $19.99. (I believe that promo ended mid June.) I was eager to buy a few at that time, but was waiting for a few rewards vouchers to be issued. Of course, BB issued the vouchers a week after the Criterion pricematch ended.

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

It was the other way around. Amazon price matched Best Buy's Criterion sale.

They didn't remove Criterions from stores because of the Upgrade and Save. There haven't been many in stores for months. The only ones I've seen in stores recently are Badlands and The Man Who Knew Too Much. They've been cutting back on the media section for awhile now and it's not surprising that Criterions would be some of the first to go as I'm sure they aren't big sellers.

I don't suppose I should cross my fingers and hope for a chain-wide pricing gaffe at BB on the complete S7 Blu set, as happened when the complete S6 was released (when those of us lucky enough to snag one got it at half-price the week of release)?

+1 I have 2 coupons I'm sitting on and couldn't find anything else. The problem is GI Joe will probably drop pretty quick anyway, the other one did.

The Guilt Trip was kind of cute. I wasn't going to own it, but if I can't get rid of my last coupon otherwise, I may pick that up for $7.99 after coupon

I picked up Batman Returns for $5. They also had Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz combo for $10 ($5 after coupon). I need to go back for that.

Got X-men 1-4 for $20 and 2 $10 movie cash tickets to see Wolverine. also picked up rise of the POTA for $5.

Traded in 3 DVDs that we will never watch again.. so VERY happy...

My Blu-Ray collection has grown from zero to 35 in 4 weeks with all these sales. Been averaging $5/BR. Need to take a break.. Can't see myself buying DVDs anymore, except when I can get them from go.hasting for about $1.5 or less.

It's worth mentioning that a number of the online prices are not ringing up that way in store. I personally had trouble with:

Badlands - rang up 26.99 (19.99 online)
Hell on Wheels S1 - rang up 17.99 (14.99 online)
Workaholics S3 rang up 16.99 (11.99 online)

I've seen other people mention these titles as being different in store:

Flight
Jack Reacher
Paranormal Activity 4

A manager had to override the prices and it wasn't a big deal, but of course YMMV.
