The issues that led to "cut-outs" (physically defacing the product) for discounted LPs and CDs probably apply in the same manner for DVDs:

i wish i could find the robin hood prince of thieves extended edition there. but i havent been to big lots in a couple weeks now, gonna go tonight and see if i can find it

zhorrorfan

Finally found the Margaret Cho comedy dvd 3-pack... Other than that, it seems they still have the same movies from months ago (mostly 3 packs of sports movies/documentaries).

Drake

Finally found "Golden Boy" (Barbara Stanwyck) at Raynham MA.
also picked up Blood Diamond 2 disc SE and "A Fine Madness" (Connery)

Raynham has totally different stock than W. Bridgewater, they had a lot of the double features but in single DVD cases unlike W.Bridgewater which had 2 DVDs wrapped together (none of that at Raynham).

I will tell you, they don't seem to be moving the product like they did when they opened last year. A lot of stuff I saw has been on those racks for Months and Months....Maybe Netflix is eating away at the Cheap deals?

^Nah... the same people shopping in the same stores is more likely. They've seen 'em all and already have what they want. The rest languishes awaiting someone "new" to stumble upon them. The longer they sit the slower they seem to move. One of the checkers here told me she was instructed to mark "old stock" down. Hasn't happened yet, but she also said she had no idea how to determine what was "old stock" and was awaiting better instructions.

Printing the "30 days" is reasonable,and stores(at least in Pa.,it varies by state)are allowed to do what they want. My problem is that BL actually follows through with it. I understand refusing seasonal mdse. long after the stuff has been cleared out or packed away,but everyday items,that's nuts. When managing in retail(25 years)if somebody had,like a perfectly new pair of jeans with receipt and you could put it back on the rack,do it. Even take a little bath to make a good customer a better one,do it. They do this so there is no thought by store management needed. It's policy. It's literally "by the book".
Another stupid example of BL's head up their a** return policy. I bought a DVD that didn't play and returned it for a title for title exchange. They had maybe ten copies of the same damn title. What grief. And the one cashier warned me that they wouldn't take it back. And I told her the hassle my credit card company would make when I wouldn't pay the bill would make this a futile fight. They already get charged for the transaction,they pay another fee for the refusal,they're gonna pay another fee for the refund,I'm p****d,and will gladly post it all over what idiots they are for returns. They caved. Do not take crap from the desk. Get management involved. Waste their time while others stand in line. Take names. Call corporate. Get loud. Make a scene. And get satisfaction.Make the manager want to get fired instead of dealing with smart customers.And do it next time,in case they forget.

New $6 titles at the Beverly, NJ store:

Monty Python & the Holy Grail CE
Along Came Polly/Reality Bites/Mystery Men
Steve McQueen collection (Bullitt & Papillion)
The Skulls & The Skulls II
Fast Times at Ridgemont High & Dazed and Confused
Superman 4-disc + Superman III
Psycho II + III + IV

bse

$3 DVDs
30 day return policy is beyond fair, even a AS IS policy would be acceptable for such great titles at such a low price, if they did not allow returns on DVDs, we would get a lot better titles because the jack ass resellers wouldn't buy everything and return it on day 29.

If your so upset over something so petty and stupid, stop shopping there, we will all continue to enjoy the amazing deals.

Maybe it's just me but lately the selection at my BL's have sucked. I haven't bought a dvd in I don't know when. I look forward to the classic Warner batches that used to be frequent at BL but they seem to have all but disappeared.

Hopefully we'll see another release of them before Thanksgiving.

A store I visited today had a couple of the traditional cardboard square-type displays. One of the individual squares had a bunch of titles that I believe are brand new--including several horror films.

I picked up (all blind buys):

Away From Her
Confidence
Dogville
Dummy

And for the horror challenge next month:

An American Haunting
Borderland Unrated DC
The Gravedancers
High Tension

Another horror title I grabbed was Alone in the Dark Unrated DC. After looking at a review or two, this one may be going back. The others look to be some decent films and even better I went to one of the 20% off locations.

MooMooMooMoo

Bridgeport Tacoma Wa appeared to have gotten the last $3 & $6 batches. Very picked over, nothing much worthwhile left.

I think the 30 day return policy is generous, but if something is open and defective, I expect a refund. Period. I don't care if it's $3 or $30. I want what I paid for. Hardly petty or stupid.

mike07

I went to one of the 20% off locations last night, which appeared to have received the new $3/$6 shipment but was well picked over. After looking over the remaining stock I only picked up one of each.

2-pack for $6: Point of No Return & Universal Soldier: The Return
$3 single DVD: Motorama (this one was marked at $3 but was truly $2 before discount.)

Undeadcow

I highly recommend Dogville thou it's not for everyone due to total lack of set design (buildings are represented chalk lines on a black floor). It unfolds much like a stage play with some interesting twists.

Just found this at another store for roughly the sameprice. I know some members on the board have bene looking for this, so if you're interested, please let me know via e-mail at [email protected] in case you'd like to do a trade. Thanks. Richard

also...today i picked up:

the Sci-Fi Boys
Curse of the Golden Flowers
Believers
Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon
Child's Play 2

depechemodeone

I picked up:

Psycho II/III/IV
The King of Kong
Child's Play Box 2/3/Bride of Chucky
Dark Castle box - Gothika, Ghost Ship, House of Wax, House on Haunted Hill, Thir13en Ghosts

Kguy1326

Is that "Ghost Ship" widescreen?

I picked up the four Busby Berkeley titles for completion's sake. Kinda cool to get the whole Volume 2 box for $12. Was a little ticked that the "Going Through The Roof" documentary wasn't on "Golddiggers of 1937" as someone had mentioned on Amazon.

Also picked up the collector's edition of "Holy Grail."

To those who picked up "Away From Her," it's very well regarded. Julie Christie is supposed to be amazing in it.
