Scorsese Collection

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=3056622

Walmart.com just marked this down to CLEARANCE price of $38.83 from $50.93. Seems hot to me. Didn't see it posted before. My first post. Assemble the firing squad.

It's 43 at DDD. When you add shipping to walmart it 42.

Not much of a deal if you ask me, but good effort

Welcome and thanks, BernardPFife. It's $41.94 with free shipping at Amazon, but Walmart's is still the cheapest pre-shipping price I've seen. If that's what it is in the B&M, people might want to pick it up there. I'm still hoping Best Buy comes in around $35.

It looks like Best Buy is selling the collection for just $49.99, although Goodfellas alone is going for $15.99 which is cheaper than CC or Target.

STL at Amazon is the best deal I'd say. Walmart kills deals with their shipping. $37.75 w/ STL. Not too shabby.

I ordered mine for $34.53 including tax and shipping, but I got in on the DDD deal when it was posted early and was accepting on pre-orders. Woo hoo.

Does anyone know if mean streets was upgraded or is it the same one that's been out forever?

I think Mean Streets is upgraded. The new one has commentary and a feature ("Back on the Block").

I used a free gift certificate plus STL to get it for a really good price at Amazon. But since it really pisses me off when people post about using some GC they got from somewhere that nobody else can use I am not point to post what I paid. Instead I will use this post to bitch about those kind of people.

What about Goodfellas?

Is it the SE or the original one?

Seems like it's the same price to buy this particular collection as it is to wait for the disks to be available to buy at columbia house?

Right?

Close enough. Even with me paying tax, it's only $8.21 each. Less than that for most. CH would've been, with typical offer, about 7.16 each.

Only if you totally ignore your fulfillments, which you can't do and be accurate about your cost. Average will be over $7 each, so pretty close to just buying now.

Sorry for the CH detour, but he did ask.

I don't take into account the fufillments since they're completely different movies. I usually pick up movies for enrollment that I probably would never buy individually, but getting 6 DVDs for $17.40 is too cheap to pass up.

My fufillments are all movies I really like, most of the time I'd end up spending the same amount on them as I would if I were to goto Best Buy or Circuit City on the day of release.

I know it's sort of a wierd but that's how I think.

Considering that this is the bargains forum and not the "pay a high price on some and exaggerate the savings on others" forum, the way you think isn't really inline with what most people here are trying to accomplish.

What do you mean by 2 dollars starting Nov 17th.

Not trying to turn this into a CH thread. Just trying to figure out the cheapest way to buy the collection.

Dude???!
It just a bunch of BS from somebody with poor math skills. Didn't you read the four messages between your two posts?
