CompUSA $5 DVD sale

I noticed in the paper today that CompUSA is offering a bunch of titles for $5 each. Seems like it is online too.

EDIT: Yikes! Most are N/A or "sold out". Might be better off going to the store.

I tend to doubt it .... any time I've gone to a CompUSA location re: a DVD sale, I've never had success. Maybe it's simply an NYC problem , maybe not.

No, you're not alone. CompUSA is the undisputed king of "bait and switch" sale pricing on DVD's. Always have been.

Went there tonight and they had 15-20 titles on sale - picked up Contact for $4.99.

They also had:

Matchstick Men
National Lampoon's European Vacation
Austin Powers' Goldmember
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
Money Talks
Dumb and Dumberer
Disclosure
About Schmidt

can't remember what else.

I thought Contact was the worst movie I've ever seen and you would have to pay me $499 to watch it again.

Yeah, little green men would have been much cooler - there aren't enough of those movies around.

I dont know if this sale is over but I ordered Kelly's Heroes and Empire of the Sun for $4.99 each and they tried to charge me $7.99. I showed the clerk the printout and he was very cool about it. Just watch for the price bump folks.

Usually the sale starts Sunday morning and ends Saturday night, so it would have been over if you tried to buy it today.

I ordered them yesterday night. I got the confirmation email today. I called them up also to make sure as the store is about 25 miles away. They are supposed to give you 72 hours to pick it up but maybe they do charge more if the sale ends.

Does CompUSA fill online orders from multiple local stores? I ordered a few games online last week and saw charges on my CC from two CompUSA locations today

Nice deals...did you notice that the Chicken Little dvd is selling for only $321.06? http://www.compusa.com/products/prod...37182&pfp=cat3

Shipping is free though, so I guess that 'hot' deal just got a little hotter.

Oops...Chanster beat me to it. Too quick!
