I already have the 6-disk set and was just looking for one for my brother.

Lowest price I can find is $10.39 at DD.

I think the 3 movie disks are the same as far as content as the ones in the 6-disk set IIRC.

I thought that it was mentioned that there was some movie cash in the set for Die Hard 4 which is what I was mainly purchasing it for (and the first movie). The one at my Wal-mart made no mention of movie cash so I didn't pick it up or attempt to price match (especially when I would probably re-buy them eventually on BR or HD in the coming years). Is there a mention of the movie cash on the outside of the sets that have it?
My Circuit City had none but then again, as messy as their movie section was, I don't see how you could find anything you wanted there.
My BB had a sign posted saying it was a price mistake.

Individually, they're single discs in standard keepcases, I believe.
It's kinda like the Bond movies. They took 'em out of the sets, and took away the second features disc. But there's still a commentary on the disc for each movie.
... heck, at $18.88 I'd consider buying it. But I was at a WalMart last night and didn't see it. I can check another, but even if they have it, the price may be different, as WalMarts often are. Still, $15 (for 2 and 3) is less than $19. I have no need to buy the first movie again. I already saw the new one.
I would think sets with the movie cash would state so on the package. Why some have it and others don't, I dunno. But I'd think all of them should have the bonus disc - that's pretty much the sole reason for this release, isn't it, to tout the new film???

Of course, I do appreciate all of Speedy's work.

I got in on this deal but at Wal*Mart which has the 3 Movie set with NO bonus disc for $18.88. IT's also a slightly different cover than the one shown in the Best Buy thread. That alone caused many a furrowed brow at the Wal*Mart in West Haven, CT. yesterday.......
Good deal on Bourne movies coming in tonight's Best Buy posting.....

Just called a nearby WalMart. They don't have the box set. The movie's individually are $9.44.
So I'm stopping at BBuy on the way home. I just can't see $7.50 each for 2 and 3 - which I need and want - being a bad deal.

I went to Best Buy, grabbed the flyer, drove over to CC... looked through their titles for like 10 min and couldnt find the set, asked a employee if they had any, he dissapeared for like 5 min, came back with one, went to the checkout... $5.15 after tax for The Die Hard Collection + Free Ticket for DH4. Thanks OP

Well, this was an interesting turn of events:
I stopped at a second CC on the way home, grabbed two Die Hard Collections and proceeded to the counter with the BB ad just like before. And once again the girl looked at the ad, didn't believe it and had to go check the BB website. I figured right there I was boned.
She comes back saying how its $34.99 on their site and they cannot match it. Now, after that display of smarts, this is the part that amazed me. She then says, "I think that set was on sale here last week for $9.99 though, so I can match that price if you'd like."
So, without hesitation, I said "that'll work!" and was on my merry way.
I don't know why $7.50 seemed like such an unbelievable price, but not $9.99.

Success for me here in the ATL.
I brought in the BB ad and went up to the register, verifying i could pricematch there (playing dumb). I handed her the ad and she then checked the BB website (who gives cashiers internet at their registers?!) and saw the price was 34.99. she was, obviously, confused, and i figured i was toast then. she went and spoke to her supervisor who ok'd the transaction (after initially claiming the ad wasn't valid, which i promptly pointed out was still valid). She then came back and proceded to price match the 7.50, with the 10% deal, making the price $5.25 / $5.71 out the door! this did have the ticket in it as well!!!
for people who might want to try, this was at the Akers Mill Circuit City (by Cumberland Mall). There was one more set BELOW the regular action dvds (which are a HUGE mess). might be able to be successful tomorrow if you try! I only took one trying to leave it open for other dvd talkers.

Responding to all the posts about this being worthy of a separate thread... The logic being pointed out is that it's difficult to look through the threads that Speedy posts with the weekly ad. I have to disagree a bit. I Don't take the time to read through the whole thread consisting of people offering their thanks and asking for the prices on televisions. Just check the 1st post. This week's Best Buy ad clearly pointed out in the very first post, the Die Hard deal including a note from Speedy indicating the likelihood that it was a price mistake.
Even with all that being said, I don't mind the separate thread. I'd be equally as content with Speedy's weekly sale ads.

Bought 3 today at CC, pricematched w/ no problem. Thought about going the route for the extra 10%, but decided to be happy at $7 and change. Used the three tickets tonight. So I've made $3 and have 3 sets of DVDs to ebay or gift. Thanks Speedy and OP!

Anyone know the difference between this set and the last box set that had all three movies in 2-Disc sets ... specifically regarding the content and options?
I am trying to decide if I should get in on this deal.
