Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

is it true that Best Buy is going to be opening at Midnight this year for BF instead of the usual 6am?

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

Thanks for posting the lists, some nice deals. I'll wait for Amazon's list.

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

That's what the leaked ad says...

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

Having read the Best Buy, Target, and WalMart ads, I'm pretty disappointed with the TV on DVD sales. TV on DVD sets that were around $10 last year (or less) appear to be $13 now. It also seems like stores are holding back from putting more recent seasons on sale too, when last year I even got the latest release as cheap as the other seasons. A lot of the DVD sets I'm interested in have been $14 or lower over the course of the year, and now they're maybe only $13 for Black Friday. I guess I'll keep waiting or hope there are some good unadvertised prices.

Considering DVD is on a decline as a medium, its also unfortunate to see some of the movie titles listed in the various price categories above $5.

Obviously retailers are worried about profits and they certainly don't owe us consumers any deals, but it's still disappointing. It looks like Best Buy has the better prices on TV on DVD, and Wal-Mart has the better prices for movie DVDs, so far. And seeing how timid Amazon was last year, at this point I'm not even expecting them to price match or even beat these B&M retailers price wise.

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

Is Amazon price matching these ads?

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

I'd be pretty surprised if they didn't.

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

I hope we will see smaller retailers represented in this thread as well and I will do my part should advance word come my way. Last year my best deals came from sales at VCI and the WB SHOP.

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

So far these Black Friday deals on DVDs are pretty lame, I already have the DVDs I want from those lists and I didn't pay very much for them when I bought them (I never do). I'm hoping these lists expand as we get closer to Black Friday, I'd like to see a good price on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2. $13.99 isn't good enough for me. -kd5-

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

My experience with last year's Black Friday sales was mixed. I found that the after Chrsitmas sales between the 26th to 30th December were much better than the so called Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale prices and offers. Lower prices and better, wider selection of titles too!

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

I didn't see that listed in any Best Buy Black Friday ad, how reliable is that information? -kd5-

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

Doorbuster (Picture of single disc Blu. Min 30 each per store)

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

Does anyone know if Target will be opening at midnight like Best Buy & Walmart???

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

Ad says, "doors open Midnight Tonight!"

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

Be aware that I've been in Target stores many times on Black Friday and a remarkable number of their dvd specials have been FS only, with the WS versions significantly more expensive..

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

Cool! Looks like Best Buy takes the prize for offering this for the best price (without waiting an eternity for it to make its rounds). Thanks! Can't believe I didn't see that when I looked at that ad yesterday. -kd5-

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

Target will be opening at midnight. Some of its employees are really pissed about this and are complaining openly:

http://consumerist.com/2011/11/targe...ing-night.html

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

These stores must have boxes of unsold Weeds seasons. Every Black Friday, it's the main tv season on sale in all the stores.

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

First, thanks to those who put the lists together. But wow, for my needs I see very damned little. No TV boxes, a handful of films. Obviously, while the retailers are being aggressive in terms of opening hours, they're not offering very compelling product. I'm seriously reconsidering my midnight run to Wally Mart and El Targay.

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

Hopefully there will be a Blu-Ray Black Friday list soon to save me from squinting at the ad scans and writing up a list. The problem is that DVDs aren't very interesting to me any more with BD, so I'd have a tough time paying more than $3 for any DVD.

Regarding Doc Moonlight's post above, it says the article says the reason BF was moved up to midnight is "because people simply can not wait". Oh really? Maybe I'm in the minority view here, but I definitely wish BF would never start before 5 AM to allow people to sleep and spend an uninterrupted Thanksgiving with their families. I assumed the reason BF was moved up to midnight is "because RETAILERS simply can not wait".
That's right, and every year I pass on it regardless of the price (I think it's usually $8.99 per season). I haven't ever seen the series, so maybe it's good.

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

That's weird. I've never seen that happen at any I've gone to.

Part of it might be that they're throwing it back in the vault :rolleyes: at the end of the year.

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

It's VERY good Manzana as I can attest to. Good amount of comedy + drama.
Of course you have to be open minded on the main topic of weed. Excellent performances by the entire cast and especially Kevin Nealon (who prior to this series I only marginally liked).

I give this series a big :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I own all the seasons and eagerly look forward to each new season on DVD.

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

Wallmart:

Saw the above mentioned tv titles on a special display at Sam's Club for $18.88 plus The Sopranos, John Adams, Deadwood, and Rome. So there is a possibility that these titles will be in the $10 bins at Walmart on Black Friday.

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

Maybe, but I doubt I'll find a new release for less than that even if they're going to throw it back in the vault. I'd love to pay just $3.96 for it like I did for the other 7 at Walmart the other day but I doubt that'll happen anytime soon, unless you know something I don't. -kd5-

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

I'm sorry but I'm new at this. When the Black Friday Sales start, do I have to go to the stores to get the sale, or can I go to their websites and buy them online without spending hours on line in front of the store?

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

Some of each.

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

Depends MooMooMooMoo. This year Wal-Mart will start BF at 10pm, Thursday. If you arrive around nine, the line to get inside isn't too bad. Look about and find the areas of your target. The DVDs are held inside cardboard racks and sealed plastic; won't be open until ten. Get done quick, leave quick. It will be busy, but for the most part NOT as bad as later. Later will be a massive, massive mess.

This year will be my fourth outing.

I'm still waiting on info for Big Lots.

My game plan is going around 9pm to Wal-Mart, leave about 11 or so, go to bed. Wake up about four and go to Big Lots. The line there is usually big. The store is next door to a Target, so I'll give them a look.

After both stores I'm heading off to Best Buy then back to Wal-Mart. They're going to have more DVDs on sale at 8AM.

My BF will be a hectic. I for one love it. It's exciting. Two years ago I was in Upland and the police showed up. Nothing happened at the Wal-Mart I was at. But a nearby store (another Wal-Mart) had a full riot. They closed down the store. They were afraid pissed off customers from there would come here. Every few minutes on the loud speaker they would say, 'please stay calm'.

Good times.

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

I have stuff I'm gonna pick up at Target & Best Buy and I will check Wal-Mart(and T & BB) for there "more in-store".

Upset that the Chuck Season 4 Blu-Ray,and Middle Season 2 arent on sale as neither of them have had any kind of price drop. $40 for Chuck and $35 for Middle are just to damn much. Also wish that the Clone Wars Season 3 Blu-Ray was on sale like the 1st 2 seasons were the last 2 years.

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

Something that needs to be said for newbies.

Wear sensible shoes.

You're going to do a lot of walking and or standing.

Comfortable shoes; good for Black Fridays and the zombie apocalypse.

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

Worth noting that Target has promised that their Price Match policy this year will include Black Friday (with an original printed ad). Not sure if the employees will be clear on that, but it sounds promising:

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

I'll get what I get online and that's it. No way I'm getting in the middle of that madness. Best Buy has also been getting better about putting their BF stuff online.

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

I went abotu 12:30 last year (which would correspond to 10:30 this year). Traffic wasn't that heavy, and most people were congregated around the two or three big sale items (this year they've got a 55 inch Samsung plasma TV for just under $500). I didn't have any problem getting my share of the promotional DVDs. Keep in mind that they will be in displays in different parts of the store, not necessarily in the DVD section. Also keep in mind that just because a DVD is in the rack doesn't mean it's on sale (especially if it's the only one of that title you see there). People have been known to pick things up in one place and put them down in another. They promotional DVDs will usually be clearly labeled.

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

be aware tho. If the ad states "doorbuster" or "limited quantities" or any other verbiage like those, they may not price match it for you.

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

This year will be my first time going to Best Buy on Black Friday... Followed by Wal-Mart.
After seeing how unorganized the local Target was last year, I'm just going to skip them this year.

Like someone else on here, I'm waiting to see what Big Lots will have this year.

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

I hope these stores have product when the normal Black Friday crowd shops in the morning. I hate that these stores are opening at midnight, +/- an hour or 2, the night before, and all these crazy people are going to be thrashing about the stores in the wee hours of the morning when us normal people are sleeping peacefully waiting for our Black Friday morning at the stores, only to find everything's already gone. I predict there are going to be alot of pissed off people come Black Friday during normal business hours, and I may very well be one of them. But neither my wife nor I want to subject ourselves to that insanity the night before. -kd5-

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
 

If you're looking for a doorbuster deal, what difference does it make waiting in line from 9pm - 12 am vs. 2am - 5am which people were doing last year (hell, even earlier for some). If you're just looking for DVDs & Blu-rays, I remember in the past couple years I've seen plenty left at noontime. This year could be different, however. As the store ads clearly state, everything has a limited quantity. :) :)
