I bought the one and only copy and my local BB and plan on price matching it tomorrow.

I see that Black Hawk Down is listed under the two disc special edition as well. To my knowledge, there is no 2 disc edition of this movie but a 3 disc deluxe edition exist. Is this the 3 disc deluxe edition with the third disc being the disc with the documentary from the History Channel?

FangsFirst 12-01-07 08:00 PM

Oh crap. that 8.99 thing is gonna kill me.

PS: "Robin Hood"--> Errol Flynn or Kevin Costner?

Probably freakin' Costner again. Sigh.

DJariya 12-01-07 08:05 PM

Razor and Superbad and maybe a few of those 2-disc special editions for me.

I'm really hating December.

dvd182 12-01-07 09:52 PM

Glad to see that Superbad BR is somewhat reasonable even though the MSRP is ridiculous.

thursdaynighter 12-01-07 10:30 PM

I'll get It's a Wonderful life if it's the new release. Plus Ghandi and Robociop are good deals...any word if Dr. Strangelove is the latest release?

That's the only 2 disc there is.

DouglasRobert 12-02-07 12:54 AM

LOTR Trilogy is the 2 disc versions.

Only the spine of Black Hawk Down is shown, but it's thick so I guess it's the 3 disc set.

It's a Wonderful Life is the new version.

Robin Hood spine is all white and it looks like it says Prince of Thieves.

DJariya 12-02-07 01:47 AM

I would probably be interested in the following 2-disc SE's:
Memento
Serenity
Raging Bull
Boyz in the Hood
Gandhi (I'm on the fence about this, the movie is a classic, but it's so long and probably doesn't have alot of replay value)
Taxi Driver
The Color Purple
The Right Stuff

DGibFen 12-02-07 07:21 AM

Just as a warning:

The Monty Python set sn't the "Extraordinary Deluxe Version" as shown in the ad, but this Python box set that includes "Holy Grail"; "And Now For Something Completely Different..."; "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen".

So price match it somewhere if you plan on getting it - or try showing it to BB early this morning.

Pizza 12-02-07 07:53 AM

I'm in for robo and casino. On the fence for purple.

ScissorPuppy 12-02-07 10:17 AM

WARNING!

All the sale shipments of robocop are the new keepcase/slip cover version.
It has the same upc as the steelbook. The steelbooks should still be on shelf in the action section ( if your store has any left ) and will ring up 8.99, but the sale display only has the slipcase versions.

Lecithin 12-02-07 11:19 AM

This is the title of my post.
 
Glad I picked it up in the store today when I went to pick up the Dark Crystal/Sense and Sensibility for $9.99 dvds I ordered online, that way I got the steelcase version, got them to give me the Holy Grail edition shown in their flyer, AND got a 1 cent Silver Surfer. (Too bad they gave me the WRONG Dark Crystal and I have to go back and exchange it for the 2 disc one tomorrow...)

Thanks for the heads up.

DouglasRobert 12-02-07 11:33 AM

Just got back and can confirm what ScissorPuppy said about Robocop. Luckily I found the steelbook case.

They also have Titanic: 3 disc set and Crimson Tide: Extended Edition on sale for $8.99 as well.

indianajmb 12-02-07 11:33 AM

Unknown if anyone caught this, but online

Braveheart 2 disc special edition, which is a preorder,
IS part of the 8.99 sale.

I ordered Serenity, Panic Room 3 disc and Braveheart preorder.

Imail724 12-02-07 11:47 AM

Shawshank Redemption, Memento and Boyz 'N The Hood for me.

Thanks for the heads up, was about to preorder braveheart from amazon. Will probalby make the trek to bestbuy tuesday to pick up a couple other 8.99 2 discers as well as pirates. was hoping someone would have the 2 disc of dead man's chest on sale this week as well. Somehow I either got teh 1 disc version or misplaced disc 2.

The Valeyard 12-02-07 12:38 PM

No Robocop Steelbook love for me. My Best Buy was completely out of them. :(

indianajmb 12-02-07 12:44 PM

Mine as well.

bluetoast 12-02-07 02:38 PM

Got a Robocop steelbook, and the 1 cent Silver Surfer statue.

My BB is lucky with steelbooks, we still have Death Proof ones.

Is the 2nd disc worth the $9? I ask this because I already have the old DVD, and also the newer HD DVD.

It has some extra stuff. I already have the HD DVD but I like the packaging for this. For $9, why not?

Dutin 12-02-07 02:49 PM

I picked up Robocop Steelbook and Serenity CE w/ exclusive comic book!

Patman 12-02-07 02:53 PM

Well, I've been trying very hard to not buy anymore SD DVDs if I can help it. But I do like the "franchise". Gah, what to do, what to do...

Boyz 'n the Hood and Dark Crystal also qualify for B1G1 for $8.99.

My closest BB doesn't have several of the B1G1 titles from the complete list I wanted or Shawshank Redemption. In for:

Boyz 'n the Hood (B1G1)
Dark Crystal (B1G1)
Memento (B1G1)
Closer (Superbit) (B1G1)
Big Fish (B1G1)
SLC Punk (B1G1)
Casino Royale
Raging Bull
It's a Wonderful Life (gift)

I'll probably pick up Robocop Steelbook if it's in stock.

In that case, just grab it. Doubtful that you'll have to get another SDVD for Serenity anytime soon, so it's just a one time investment.

There is 20 more shown, but only the spines are showing and my copy is too blurry to make them out.

These are the other 3 for $30...

http://akimages.crossmediaservices.c...1151544078.jpg

I've been waiting years for the Tombstone Director's Cut to go on sale. Guess I'm in for that, Father of the Bride, and Pretty Woman.

Gizmo 12-02-07 03:52 PM

The 3 for $30...do I have to buy 3 or can I just buy 1 for $10?

JediJones 12-02-07 03:57 PM

Pretty sure with this kind of sale you have to buy them together. Tombstone certainly isn't on sale online by itself, but they're not even offering this 3 for $30 sale online at all for some reason.

Pyser 12-02-07 04:12 PM

is b1g1 in store too?

JediJones 12-02-07 04:26 PM

Don't think so, but it sounds like you can tell the web site to give you the order through in-store pickup as long as your store has them in stock.

ds6161 12-02-07 04:30 PM

Serenity 2 disc is worth it just for the cast commentary on the 1st disk.

Ah, forgot about the cast commentary. Posting from Best Buy, with the 2-disc set under my arm in the checkout line. Thanks for the nudge.

I was just about to ask that.

Thanks.

Imail724 12-02-07 06:39 PM

It doesn't say anywhere that it is online only.

Bugger. I'll buy it next week at Target then for $10 (High Fidelity/Blank Combo DVD)
