What if one day, you discovered that the world wasn’t quite what it seemed? In the year 2070, life is rather quiet for Hajime Murata, a curious second-year student at Misumaru Middle School. Classes by day, fights with his little sister by night; nothing too exciting ever happens. Even when a strange alien ship appears over Tokyo, no one's really that shocked. After all, the government has been covering up aliens for years, right?

Then, a mysterious new transfer student arrives at Misumaru, wearing an ancient school uniform. Gentle and polite, everyone considers Muryou Subaru to be a pretty nice guy - everyone, that is, except for student council vice president Kyoichi Moriguchi. When Kyoichi challenges Muryou to a fight on the school roof, Hajime rushes over just in time to see the simple schoolyard brawl turn into a startling display of psychic powers!

OK, I reconsidered being that 2day shipping was only $.50 more for me. Still, $7 is way too much.
I wish that Outpost would offer MediaMail shipping for DVDs, considering they carry so many , but their damn distribution system doesn't allow for it.

Now I wonder if we'll actually get it, being that they list it as a 11/15 pre-order?

$7 is a lot, but if you throw the title into DVD Price Search, the next cheapest price is like $50 or something. Maybe this is a re-release, and it's going to be cheaper elsewhere in the near future. Who knows. I didn't look too deeply into it because I really shouldn't order anything for a while.

You're telling me.

This week is a huge week for animated titles too.
We have Gargoyles S2 V1, Batman V4, and Superman V2. I can't keep up.

I see that Infinite Ryvius is at $47.99 on BB's website. That is the same price in store (label only, didn't scan it to see if its at the old price )

Yes, many if not most of the prices on Best Buy's website are not the same as what's listed in the table you see within this thread, however, all prices should still reflect the prices in their system in-store. Also, many prices are mislabeled, or rather, not updated to reflect these prices. When I bought my Infinite Ryvius box set, it also said $47.99, but scanned for $23.99. I've purchased a huge chunk of what's listed in that table, and it's never failed me, so don't let the mislabeled prices discourage you if you're interested.

Yeah, it was included toward the end of last month's thread, up from $42.97. Still a good deal, though.

Potentially great news regarding the Columbia House DVD Club. They are now offering ADV titles. The only anime titles that they have right now are the 3 volumes of Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040(Essential Anime). Hopefully they'll keep adding titles-I could use the last 3 volumes of Elfen Lied.

I also just noticed that Columbia House has all 4 volumes of Fruits Basket available as enrollment selections. This is an even cheaper way to acquire this series compared to the Amazon deal.

James, CH has had Fruits Basket, Blue Gender, Conan, etc for a while now. I think it's still cheaper just to buy them as box sets rather than to buy individual discs from them.

Now if they started carrying ADV thinpaks that would change everything...

I didn't know about Fruits Basket until I was looking through the site last night. If you can live without the box, then Fruits Basket would be cheaper at CH. All 4 volumes are available as enrollments, so you can get them along with 3 other titles for $13. You can then fulfill your obligation for around $40(you'll get another 3 DVDs). So you'll end up getting 10 DVDs for around $53($5.30 per DVD). So, the Fruits Basket series would cost around $21 through CH as opposed to $42-$49 at Amazon. If interested, go to the DVD Clubs sub-forum to find out how to maximize the savings at CH.

Yeah, but remember you have to spend money to save money. That's how CH stays in business.

FYI: All 8 vols of Kiddy Grade are also available for enrollment now.

I mentioned this title in last month's thread. It must not have carried over to the new thread. You can also add volume 4 of Witch Hunter Robin to the list. A renewed thanks for keeping this thread thriving, JBM.

That's weird. I added the ones you told me last month, but I guess when I pulled SkyDog's updated table, he updated the outdated table, and I carried that one over... I'll update it again.

Edit: Or maybe I just screwed up, I don't know. Ha ha, either way--it's updated.

P.S. I think it was just me. Thanks to SkyDog for his table help, as always.

FWIW, Kiddy Grade is being reissued at a much lower price per episode.

If interested, go to the DVD Clubs sub-forum to find out how to maximize the savings at CH.
I've done the CH routine about 5-6 times now over the years, including on Fruits Basket. It depends on the coupon, but you can't really get below about $8.00 anymore regardless of how hard you try, since they got rid of the $5 web-only coupon and raised fulfillment prices by a few bucks on everything remotely good (that I don't have yet). If it's your first time, you might still find some $19.99 fulfillments, though.

It's $3 for the first 6 enrollments. $14.99 for the 7th. Then fulfillment is ~$26 each after s/h + tax. So you're looking at a total of $70 for 9, not $53 for 10. That's about $8/dvd. You could also exploit the periodic "free shipping with 3 titles" offer, and get 10 titles for $75, knocking it down to a BARE minimum of $7.50 (or $7 if you can find any $20 fulfillments -> $2-3 less after s/h).

At $8.20/dvd, Fruits Basket was $33 (the price at which I bought it from CH). Then I ordered the bare artbox from Rightstuf.com for $9.99. So the total came out to $43 -- the exact same price as the original Amazon deal. Thus, after taking into consideration all the hassle, the original Amazon price was clearly the best deal. At $50, it really depends on how frugal you are

(A side note, they had Wizard of Oz Definitive Collection mispriced last week for about the same price as a fulfillment. The $30+ set came out to about $8.20. Keep an eye out for mispriced box-set fulfillments.)

I don't want to derail this thread into a CH discussion(there's a whole subforum for that), but I want to address a few points made by Gamelore.

1. Use code LMT for enrollment and the deal is as follows-
6 for $0.49 each($2.94), take a 7th title for $9.95. Free shipping on all 7 titles and you have to buy 2 more in the next 2 years. The total for the enrollment package would be $12.89 plus whatever your state sales tax may be.
2. The $5 off of your first online order of $30 or more is still active-
columbiahouse.com/webdvd(if you don't fulfill right away, they sometimes will email you an offer of $10 off of your first online order).
3. If you're patient, they will offer you free shipping on 3 or more titles and will even offer a buy 1 get 1 free deal. Generally, it will cost you around $45.88 plus tax to fulfill(2 $19.95 titles-preorders are always $19.95, 1 title at 50% off to qualify for free shipping-$10.98, deduct the $5 off web coupon for a total of $45.88 plus tax). Theoretically, the cheapest way to fulfill would cost you $29.90 plus tax for 4 titles(2 $19.95 titles, 2 free titles as part of a BOGO if you're lucky enough to get that offer, free shipping, deduct $10 off of your first order if you're lucky enough to get that email offer).

So the total cost would be $58.77 plus tax for 10 titles($5.87 average).
The ultimate deal would be $42.79 plus tax for 11 titles($3.89 average ).

Sorry for the long winded threadjack, but anyone interested in CH should really go through the threads in the DVD Club subforum.
