Hmmm, I wonder if NYC will be running this promotion?....for some reason I doubt that they will be.

i called BBV in Kent, Ohio and was told they were doing the $8 and that it started Tuesday October 5th. He told me it had to be in their system, have UPC, and cover art. I wonder... What is in their system??

Minimum $8 store credit (for the 1st week only) for any DVD, bring in as many as u want, as long as they have cover art, and aren't scratched to hell.

Anybody aware of any participating BBVs in southern or central IN? None in Louisville area are participating so I'm willing to drive for an hour or so if I could rake in.

I called two stores today but they said that their store does not take trade-ins currently. If anyone finds any stores in the West Palm Beach area please let me know.

Question.
I am going to take my stuff to blockbuster. I have about 35 I am taking and about 30 of them were throwaway gifts from my dads side of the family.
Say I want to get the six sessions of Cowboy Bebop. Can they special order them for me to be delivered to that store for me? I know their prices are gonna be suckeee, but hey I am gonna get them for free.

"Just a quick update. I called a few more stores and finally got a store that had a district manager in it. She was aware of the promotion but said no stores in South Florida are doing it, maybe buy the first of the year. She said we are one of the last areas in the US to get it."

I called two Blockbusters in my town this evening and they both said the buy back will begin on Tuesday (October 5th). They also said the prices given would depend on the dvds being traded in (for store credit or a gift card).

Yeah, looks like the $8 minimum guarantee isn't going to happen in Dallas either (well, Plano actually). My local Blockbuster has a big sign in their window announcing this trade-in deal. It begins on October 5th, but nowhere does the sign mention an $8 minimum. In fact, if you read the fine print, it states that the trade-in value amount for a dvd will be determined soley at the discretion of Blockbuster.
I have several dvds I would trade-in for $8. But for only $5, I'm not so sure.

I called a store Chapel Hill, NC since I'm going out of town, and they are participating as well. The only limitation is, a customer can only receive a maximum of $500 Store credit!
Damn, thats a lot.
