For sure.. someone keep us updated (though it may take some convincing to go spend more money!).

It's not changing to 50% to 70% today. It's staying at 40% to 60% while a few things are going up. What I can remember from the sheet my manager showed me yesterday:

Used - 50%
Toys - 60%
Strategy Guides - 50%
CDs - 50%

DVDs and Video Games are staying at 40%, it was the first thing I asked.

Thanks for the update...I wonder if it will go up or just stay here

It could be going to other stores that are under the same ownership, like Suncoast.

I guess they're just not willing to really take a loss or lower profit to clear out the stores. The "nothing held back" and "everything must go" statements are BS.

I suspect a lot of the stuff that isn't selling is not selling because the sticker prices are so insanely high, that even with a 40 percent discount, it's still too much.

I went to mine again today. They seem to have restocked DVDs since last week. They're still 40% off. Last week I grabbed the last Batman Begins 2-disk in sight that came with the comic book. Today, they must have had about 15-20 of them on the racks.

I just ended up walking out with a couple 50% off CDs today.

Movie selection thin at the one in Antioch, TN, but CDs are plentiful at 50% off.

Anime dvds are now 50% as are cds. Toys are now 60%.

A thought that had occured to me about this.. Isn't Media Play not owned by the Musicland group anymore? I thought that with the going out of business, they were basically sold to a liquidation company? Maybe I'm not up on how that all works though..

I went in last night, and we landed up getting a couple more things. I forget when things went to 40%. As others have wondered, certainly curious as to if it'll get any cheaper (especially for DVD).

According to a newspaper article from mid-December Musicland is still the parent company, and they had a Musicland spokesperson giving quotations.

I also saw a few Batman Begins 2-disc....I passed though, already own it.

Anime DVD's are still 40% off at the Florence, KY store (as of last night, when you posted). I'm debating whether or not to pick up a series or two, but I'm not sure where to begin.

Does this sale apply to Southern California Suncoast stores?
Anyone know or been to one lately?

I've checked out both Suncoast and Sam Goody, both of which are affiliated companies, but nither are running any sort of discount deal.

I'd take them to the checkout. There are 4 media plays in Columbus, Oh, and All had the 50% discount. Once of the stores had failed to post the 50% signs and still had 40% signage up, but they did ring up 50% off.

Media Play, Suncoast & Sam Goody were all owned by the same company. Media Play went out of business and was sold to a liquidation company who should have control of prices and sales. Suncoast and Sam Goody are still in business so they wont have the discounts Media Play is having.

Went back yesterday, not too much. They had a LOT of War of the Worlds and Batman Begins (some w/comic). I did not buy anything. They also had a bunch of 50 Cent crap too....his soundtrack and videogame. I did see a few Criterions also, but I don't know a thing about them, so I passed.

Isn't media play and its affiliates owned by Best Buy?

Not anymore.. I think they dumped them over a year ago..

Question - has anyone checked on what this means in terms of the Media Play Replay membership card? back in mid 05, they convinced me to renew my membership for another 2 years, so now my membership doesn't run out until August of next year. Are they giving refunds?

While I know that these are good at Suncoast and Sam Goody, I do not have those stores near me, and the closest areas that have those stores are an hour away and have nothing else of interest.

I went to the Media Play in Middletown, NY today. They had pretty much nothing left. I did manage to find a diamond in the rough though. I picked up Volcano High (The MTV dubbed kung fu movie with the voices of Snoop Dogg, Outkast, Method Man, and Tracy Morgan) for $14.99 (regular price). After the discount and my $5.00 gift certificate from Replay it came to a little over $4.00.

Don't forget Musicland.

Toys are now 60% off. I picked up a bunch of Wallace & Gromit and Hitchhiker's Guide stuff, plus a Silent Bob bobblehead for $30.

Anyone go to the Enfield Media Play lately?

The ads running on the radio are still claiming that "everything must go" and "everything in the store is on sale" and "nothing is being held back."

Unless, of course, you count the entire stock of books and most of the better DVD's / CD's that were promised to whatever liquidator bought their stock.

Isn't it bait & switch or something to say that everything is on sale and then tell the customer when they come in that only certain things are on sale?

I'm going to the Enfield one on Monday at the latest - have to make a trip to the airport.
