(DEAD) Star Trek: Enterprise Season 1 - 3 for $44.99 each at BB
 
Bestbuy has Star Trek: Enterprise season 1, 2 and 3 for $44.99 each. Not sure if it's a sale or a price drop.

I believe it is a "sale" , the computers say that it is normally 106.99 , yet the "circle tags" say that regular price is now 56.99.... so prob on friday the new normal price will be 56.99 or so.

icruise 01-23-06 03:25 PM

So you're saying that the new MSRP on these will be $56.99? I've been waiting to buy these, and this seems like a great price. But I could see DDD going even lower if it's an MSRP change.

DisneyDVDFAN 01-23-06 04:31 PM

thanks for the post we picked up seasons 1-3 at BB :) 44.99 each
they had price marked down as sale regular 105.99 ...
thanks again for the heads up this mark down now have to wait for season 4 ;)

Cartload 01-23-06 04:43 PM

I hope that they reduce the price for all these seasons to $56.99 upon the end of this sale so I can get Season 4 at a cost I'm more than willing to pay. Yesterday I picked up Season 3 (never watched it the first time around, but so far I've enjoyed it), and had them scan Season 4. It still run up as $105.99.

Maybe it's been like this for awhile, but I noticed that the first 3 Seasons of The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine are also about $50 now at Amazon and Deep Discount, woohoo!

Looks like I'll finally be able to get into the Star Trek universe on DVD. It's about time. If I had a nickel for everytime I heard "Yea, I love Star Trek. Too bad it's too expensive on DVD." I'd be a trillionaire.

But seriously, they must have lost billions in potential revenue by prcing so high.

Obviously though, they must have had a customer base but still, $107.00 per season is a bit high.

I purchased 2 or 3 of the X-Files sets at the $99 price tag but then after that I started seeing them cheap so I just waited till I could find them used at $45 but that was pretty rare.

I hope they continue this trend as it will be the only way I can afford the Star Trek sets. The only one's I want are THG, Enterprise, and DS9. Now I can wait for those used as they will be priced at roughly $25-30.

The best pricing news I've seen in a long time.

Well said! According to DDD, this is being released 1/31/06, so I'm guessing that refers to the new MSRP.

Trevor 01-23-06 08:08 PM

I wasn't going to get these, but as a sucker for those exclusive bonus discs, I'm now the owner of seasons 2 and 3. I'll pick up 1 before the week is out, hopefully I'll find one with the bonus disc.

I am a big fan of TOS, TNG, and DS9, didn't like Voyager that much, but maybe Enterprise will grow on me.

Baytroll 01-23-06 08:42 PM

Didn't feel like I needed the bonus discs, so I pricematched at Circuit City (110%) and saved some more coin.

Don't forget you also get 15,000 Reward Zone points!

Trevor 01-23-06 08:56 PM

And don't forget those BB movie gift card coupons, giving you an extra $2 off or bonus RZ points.

Bobweiser 01-23-06 09:31 PM

This is not a pricedrop. The SRP for Best Buy is $106.99 and their cost is $80.00 each. Someone screwed up on this one. We were notified earlier today and I was just getting on here to post about this but looks like it's already been noticed. They are planning a correction but will honor the mistake if they have to. My recommendation is if you're looking for these, get them soon.

kenbenobi 01-23-06 10:12 PM

Well, I hope they keep honoring the price. I'm in the mountains for a few days and cant get to BB until Wednesday night. BB.com is sold out already...

forumsmy 01-23-06 10:20 PM

I grabbed mine on Sunday and some places still had good stocks BUT... the cashier at one place told me that the first thing he did when he arrived was t buy these 3 seasons. So even the employees are getting in on it and that will dwindle the racks even more -- like Bobweiser said -- get going NOW !!

For those looking for bonus disks, 3 different stores had them to varying degrees, so of course YMMV - but hurry for best selection.

icruise 01-23-06 10:22 PM

I wanted to pick them up at my local store to save on shipping charges, but all three seasons showed as being out of stock. I'm glad I got them from BB.com when I did.

I'm skeptical. My BB clearly has the sale sign out for $44.99 and it is listed in their weekly flyer.

Looks like BB caught their mistake.

Website now shows first three seasons SOLD OUT and the price has been adjusted to $99.99

Glad I rushed in Sunday morning and grabbed all 3 at $44.99 ea - got all 3 bonus discs too!

dvdjunkie32 01-24-06 02:20 AM

Wow, you're right. They totally changed the weekly ad on the website. Thankfully, I got 1 and 3 for the bonus discs on Sunday, but I was hoping to go back later and snag S2.

lisadoris 01-24-06 11:24 AM

I went on Sunday to pick these up and while they had S3 and the computer showed they had multiple copies of S1 & 2, the poor saleperson couldn't find them. My guess is an employee or two stashed them away. I snagged a raincheck on S1 &2 with the original price so hopefully when they're back in stock they'll honor the sale price. No bonus disc for S3 but I think I'll live.

I'm just passing along the information I was given. BB has put out new price signs with the adjusted sale price to $99.99 today. I believe they will still honor the ad, but that's very YMMV. I don't work for BB, but for a sales company that deals with the movie department and this what we were told.

Slowpc 01-24-06 02:29 PM

when i get into work tomorrow i will try and check

RockyMtnBri 01-24-06 02:51 PM

I grabbed season 3 today at the $45 price. It did ring up at $99 but I showed them the add and they adjusted it.

goillini 01-24-06 05:42 PM

Price matched at Circuit City with their 110% guarantee. Got seasons 2 & 3 for $38.49 each. Had to go to Best Buy to get season one. Rang up as $99 but they adjusted no problem. They still had the $44.99 tags on the shelf as well.

Altimus Prime 01-24-06 05:50 PM

I was at a Best Buy tonight and they would NOT honor the ad price. I even talked to a manager on duty. No budge at all. Wouldn't even consider it. There was a "correction" notice taped to the shelf, and all the tags said $99.99.

Best Buy bastards. I may have to boycott for a while. If they don't have to honor their ad, I don't have to shop there. Screw 'em.
