Blockbuster 3 PVD for $25 starts Friday 11/19

I was advised of this by an assistant manager at my local Blockbuster (Northern Indiana), should be the same at most stores.

Since you don't have any cash left after the DDD 20% off sale, go spend some of those BBV GiftCards burning holes in your pockets.

Have any Blockbusters put out Super Size Me, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, or Mean Girls out as PVDs?

I've seen Eternal Sunshine and Mean Girls...

You're from Northern Indiana, eh? Where at? I'm in the Northwest.

ProjectMayhem, I'm about an hour drive East of you (Plymouth).

I've seen Mean Girls pulled at some stores.

Sweet. Will probaly pick up Mean Girls, Butterfly Effect and something else.
Anyone seen Van Helsing or Dawn of the Dead (2004) on Previewed shelves yet?
I would have gotten Eternal Sunshine but... 2 disc in January.

Good deal, but i was under the impression that Blockbuster was dropping most of their PVD prices under 10 dollars, with many titles coming in below 9.99. If that's the case, it won't be much of a savings. I guess we'll see though, depending on whether your Blockbusters have begun the new pricing like some people have reported.

My local store knows nothing of this, maybe it's just a local sale.

Since going to 2/$20 regular pricing, BBV has had a couple of 3/$25 sales and they have all been over the weekend within a week +/- of a major holiday. It makes sense that they would run this sale now with thanksgiving following it. It may even extend through thanksgiving, I think they did that on one of their 3/$25 sales.

If your local store is corporate and not franchaise, then chances are you were talking to yet another ignorant BBV employee.

My manager said it was Buy 2 Get 1 free but she didn't look on her computer or anything so I'm sure she was probably just spouting something off the top of her head. That happens a lot at my BBV.

I remember reading on the forum that the second disc was just the soundtrack to the movie (sort of like the limited edition 2-disc Matchstick Men, that came in the keepcase packaging).

Anyone read, or heard, the same thing?

I finally broke down and picked up some stuff I'd been waiting on at Hollywood last night, even though I still have over $100 in credit at BBV. BBV just takes way too long to put stuff out PVD. I picked up:

Ladykillers
Jersey Girl
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Dogville

I remember stopping by HWV like 2 months ago and seeing Ladykillers and Jersey Girl, and yet, when I asked BBV when they'd put them out, they said December.

Nope, turns out the 2nd disc is an all new disc of features... Bastards.

Does anyone know for sure if/when they're cutting the prices of the PVDs? I'd hate to go in for the 3 / $25 then come back a week later to find everything is $4.99

confirmed 3/$25 in New Jersey.
There were no large signs advertising it, only the plastic dividers within the previewed section, Also, used games are buy 2 get 1 free. And a separate deal on games, trade in any 3 games, get any used game for $10.
