Bad Grandpa cheap this quickly? This sounds too good to be true... I wonder if they used the wrong products in the picture...

Aren't these sales set many months in advance though? I doubt they could have retro-fitted a sale ad that fast. Besides, I don't think running a half-dozen or so Blu-Rays for $10 is going to grab a large enough general audience.

Yup, release dates and price drops are planned months in advance. Media sales are plunging and its not like these are all classics that merit a sustained release day high price. I still don't know who purchases these on release day for $25. Pacific Rim was already $7.99 during BF. But the bottomline is that media sales are low and this is the only way for them to dump millions of commercially pressed titles. If (m)any of you are like me, $9.99 is STILL on the higher end - my limit is $4.99 and I am willing to wait :-)

Plunging ?? Really -- any numbers you want to support that statement?
Bluray sales --
Q1/2013 Up 28% compared to 2012
Q2/2013 Down 1% (1st Half 2013 Bluray Disc Sales up 13% year over Year)
1st half Q3/2013 Up 13%
December 2013 Up 3%
Back to Back weeks in Dec 2013 with the #1 and #2 all time weeks in sales for Bluray Disc
I can't find full q3/Q4 sales, but Bluray sales certainly don;t look to be plunging based on any numbers I can find.

I wonder if there's a chance any of the 3D discs will be on sale. I'd like to get The Wolverine but want the 3D version as it has the extended cut. May pick up Bad Grandpa and We're The Millers. Also will get The Escape Plan and Fast & Furious 6 if they're included.

The 3D Wolverine is an extended cut? How did I not know this? Thankfully I haven't picked any of them up yet.

Over in the DVD section JohnIan says "The ad reads 'hundreds of movies, CDs and books' for ten dollars".

Re: Target Ad 2/2 - 2/8 - $10 newer release blu rays
One of the stores I went to yesterday had The Wolverine with the bonus content on clearance for $6.xx. Regular edition was still full price. I picked up a copy and will return my other copy I bought last month for $10. As much as I would like to have the uncut version, I couldn't justify spending an extra $15 or so just to buy the 3D version with it included. But I might still swing by Family Video to pick up the unrated version for $7.99.

With all these great prices on new releases, why the hell is Iron Man 3 still pushing $30?\
I liked the movie, but it's more of a $15 like.

Disney seems to be following the same pricing model with the Marvel films as they do with their animated classics, in that they almost never go on sale.

I know. I'm still holding out for an IM3 3D deal, which has never happened, not even during release week. I already got a Thor Dark World bargain from CH, and bought The Wolverine for a decent price. But IM3 is eluding me...

That sucks, so the theatrical in the 3D copy is only 3D or can it be viewed regularly? I'd like the extended version in the 3D copy but would like a copy of the theatrical cut too but don't really care for 3D viewing.

Re: Target Ad 2/2 - 2/8 - $10 newer release blu rays
someone posted the Target ad (in picture form) up on over at blu-ray.com - I can't attach it here as it only displays text and not the actual advert graphics), but he does mention this:
Note: Blu-ray/DVD/UV Combo packs shown for $10 are as follows: The Wolverine, Man of Steel, Turbo, The Croods, and Bad Grandpa. The exact list of blus on sale may not be known until Sunday 2/2 unless someone that works for Target lets us know ahead of time. Most movies in the ad are DVD only
