Used Blu-Rays at Blockbuster.
Walked into my local Blockbuster Video today and saw that they pulled out some used Blu-Rays for Sale. Most were bulk titles such as Dark Knight, Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Forbidden Kingdom, Speed Racer, among others. They were all priced at 16.99 a piece.

Re: Used Blu-Rays at Blockbuster.
Interesting, thanks for the heads up. Were they in the typical blockbuster rental cases? That would be a huge negative for me, but there are titles like Hulk that I would want to pick up.

Re: Used Blu-Rays at Blockbuster.
Yeah, Incredible Hulk is most definitely worth picking up...

Re: Used Blu-Rays at Blockbuster.
Hmmm cases won't be an issue for me since I have about 20 extra from sleevetown but this is good news.

Re: Used Blu-Rays at Blockbuster.
I was told that they would be sold in the rental cases and not the blu-ray cases. The lady I spoke with about it says that they receive the movies already in rental cases and never get the Blu cases.

Re: Used Blu-Rays at Blockbuster.
16.99 (above 18 dollars when you include tax) seems to be a bit high for used,especialy used rentals with no case.

Re: Used Blu-Rays at Blockbuster.
So, you don't get the original artwork either?
|
Re: Used Blu-Rays at Blockbuster.
So $17 for a movie not in its original case when most can be had for the same price for $2-3 more? Pass.

Re: Used Blu-Rays at Blockbuster.
I believe you do get the origianl atwork just slipped into the rental case. I still think 15+ dollars plus tax is a bit high for a used Blu-Ray. I also consider the fact that some renters still manage to scratch up Blu-Ray discs despite efforts made to prevent that from being so easy.

Re: Used Blu-Rays at Blockbuster.
i'm assuming they don't make BD specific rental cases. IF they (at least) have the cover art i may bite if the price is right, otherwise it's a no go for me. It's funny, i seem to remember the BlockBuster i used to frequent (before they were shuttered in Dec) had them in the regular Blu-ray boxes w/ cover art.

Re: Used Blu-Rays at Blockbuster.
Pass. I have a Movie Stop with plenty of used Blu

Re: Used Blu-Rays at Blockbuster.
Depends on the movie... I don't think I've seen Incredible Hulk for anything less then $22.99 and have been waiting to get it under $20 bucks. But if i'm stuck with the shitty rental case, nevermind :)
|
Re: Used Blu-Rays at Blockbuster.
I bought Incredible Hulk as part of a B1G1 BD deal from Columbiahouse a while back basically making it half price ($15) when ordering with another title. $16.99 is way too much for a previous rental.

It was $19.99 at one point. I remember i saw it somewhere on this form.
I am pretty sure it was at Target last week for this price. |
Re: Used Blu-Rays at Blockbuster.
I will have to check it out at my Blockbuster. They never seem to follow the rules and seem to always have a better deal than advertised.
FYI -- the Blockbuster copy of the Mist is a 1-disc version, without the second disc and the B&W version, I believe. Not something I would settle for... otherwise, I think my BB has the original cover art with these, and 1 or 2 discs depending on the movie. If there's a better deal, like 2 for XX, it could work for me. -beebs |

Re: Used Blu-Rays at Blockbuster.
I know it's no tremendous bargain, but for those interested my Blockbuster put some new titles out: Get Smart, House Bunny and Rambo. There were a couple others that I have forgotten.
FWIW |

Re: Used Blu-Rays at Blockbuster.
I saw a bunch the other day as well, all for $16.99. If it weren't for the crummy cases I probably would have bought Get Smart. Oh well.

Re: Used Blu-Rays at Blockbuster.
The stupid box was a deal breaker for me as well.
