If anyone is able to get Beowulf, would you be willing to pick me up a copy? PM me and we can talk about price with shipping, etc.

I guess I lucked out when I called because the friendly employee put Stardust aside for me. I had just hit a store in a town I happened to be in and was heading home and they didnt have Stardust. I called my local HV and asked if they did and they held it for me.

Now I suppose I should say that my local store was the same one that when I called the Friday before had told me that the didnt have/rent HD OR BLURAY, much less have any previously viewed.

I just depends on which person you talk to.

Picked up this AM:
Beowulf (x2)
King of California
Brave One
Total: $37.50 (used the b1g1f)

And both Beowulfs are spoken for, sorry!

If anyone else sees an extra Beowulf or Jessie James, let me know and I can pay you right away.

gbeenie

Anyone have any luck in Metro Atlanta? I can't check until Friday.

If anyone finds an extra copy of The Matrix, Jesse James, or Beowolf...PM me, I have Shrek the Third for trade or could pay w/Paypal right away...thanks! No luck at the single Hollywood Video in my area.

Thanks to the original poster of this thread, and to the folks that mentioned Beowulf's release today. I got Beowulf today (plus the Bladerunner 5 disk set), and the gal behind the counter said, "I just put that out. It was never rented!" Awesome deal, cheaper than seeing it in the theater.

BTW, I asked about Jesse James, and the guy at the branch i went to said Hollywood wouldn't be getting that.

Paul Arnette

Forgive me if this has been asked already, but does anyone know what the cut-off date (in terms of release week) is for Hollywood Video to continue receiving HD DVD new releases? The employee I spoke to today indicated that the decision was made within the past week. Therefore, I assume titles like Into the Wild, Things We Lost in the Fire, and Bee Movie are possibilities, but anything after that seems unlikely.

I hit up the store again this morning. American Gangster was gone but score Beowulf and Smokin' Aces for $15 and change total...

dead000

Scored Beowulf and Swordfish for $10.78. Store combined coupon and 2 for $20 deal.

HWV will be getting Into The Wild on HD next Tuesday.

I went to the HV today and they said that they were told to send Beowulf back to Corporate... so no luck for me!!! I have been questioning/ inquiring about that copy for the past 2 weeks with the people there and they said we will have it ready on tues... what a crock! Congrats to those who got it!

garrettg

I went to my local Hollywood Video today and got:

Beowulf
American Gangster
Next
V for Vendetta

$32.50 after tax. Not bad!!

(I'm going broke... after $12.20/$9.98 DDD movies and Matrix from Amazon for $43.)

My store didn't get Beowulf in HD

John Sinnott

^You didn't read your PM MetalGator. Sorry you missed out. I bought the last copy minutes after someone else left with one. I thought it might have been you.

DirkBelig

The Garden City, MI store does not carry ANY HD/BD titles. Livonia, however, does, but they've got them all pulled off the shelf and have them stacked to the side. Picked up:

* Beowulf
* Face/Off
* Payback DC Straight Up
* All three Matrix films

They said they'd have to do 2/$20 until I showed them the coupon and they acknowledged that $7.50 ea. was a better deal. No grief beyond that.

My HWV had informed me that if I came back on Tuesday I could get Beowulf and Am. Gangster. I called today and they said Am. Gangster was gone, and I would have to wait on Beowulf for a couple of days. Which is the same BS they said about A. Gangster. I was also informed that the manager at Gamecrazy was buying most of the newer titles before they're put out.

Silkk_34

New update on Beowulf.
I called just now and now it's on hold for an employee.
I called a different HWV in Knoxville, TN and they said they would hold Beowulf and Am. Gangster for me.

rhcp1214

Went to the one near me, and they wouldn't honor the 2 for $20 deal but he finally let me use the BOGO coupon. I ended up getting American Gangster and the Blade Runner 5-Discer. Anyone know where I can get the 5 Disc HD DVD case for this?

StephenX

Cumming, GA had a bunch, but my friends and I pretty much cleaned them out. They were supposed to have two Beowulf today, but I ain't driving 30 miles again one way for it.

I THINK the one in Decatur sells HD DVD's, but you need to go asap.

I drove to the ONLY Hollywood Video in the area after work today up in Martinsville, IN. They had about 20-30 single copies. I had a nice long chat with the store manager, who had reported that he had been told by "Corporate" that they would no longer allow discounts on their pre-viewed HD-DVD collection below the standard $14.99 price. The ongoing 2-for-20 sale and B1G1 free coupons no longer worked on HD-DVDs.

He had even scanned a few into the system to see if he could use the discount for friends. No dice.

I don't know if this is the beginning of the end, or if this is just a regional things here in Southern Indiana, but you might want to move quickly (today!) in case this is a sign of things to come.

For the record, I picked up Stardust and Beowulf, even though both rang up at $14.99 plus tax.

asianxcore

I tried to ignore this sale, but alas I could not

I called up Petaluma, CA HWV to make sure they were selling them. The person I talked to did confirm their store was selling them and that they were "2 for $20"

I was able to use the "B1G1F" coupon inside the coupon book (on one set of movies) that was near the front door. They had a display for American Gangster but it was checked out.

So for $37.XX I picked up:

Elizabeth: The Golden Age
The Mummy
The Mummy Returns
The Brave One

Thanks OP!!
