After a 15% off coupon I received at the Counting Crows concert last night as well as my $5 reward zone certificate, I hope to hop over to Best Buy tonight when the wife gets off work and pick up Lockdown 08 as a birthday present to myself tonight. Can't beat the TNA sale.

I dont believe anyone has mentioned this dvd yet, so here goes....I picked up "Omega: Uncommon Passion - From Dream To Reality" today from BestBuy (was released earlier this month)...Its pretty good, a decent supplement to the "Twist of Fate" and "Leap of Faith" dvds. It's a 2disc set, but I have only had a chance to watch the documentary disc so far...Sorry for the flash reflection in the pic.

I bought the OMEGA set a while back before it was available at retail. Good stuff. The documentary is solid.

Just picked up the GAB 2007/2008 2-pack at K-Mart. I hope they continue this 2-pack promotion past Summerslam (they've only done this with RR 2007/2008, the aforementioned GAB 2007/2008 and the upcoming Summerslam 2007/2008, right?)

Hadn't check this thread in a while and was coming to post this too. I ordered this during the DeepDiscount 20% off sale and they e-mailed me a few days ago saying they weren't getting anymore in and my order was cancelled. Was pleased to see it on sale today.

Went to my local Best Buy and picked up Christian Cage: Instant Classic and The History of TNA: Year 1 for 21 bucks. After watching little bit of both, they are worth picking up. In addition, my local Best Buy had two Global Ipmact: Japan DVDs.

looks like there not doing the starcade dvd at all, i heard its been cut out completly
seems like vince is still bitter about wcw beating him in ratings for almost 2 years, on the monday night wars it was almost one sided all the way and the invasion storyline was run by all mcmahons, and any sort of wcw footage on dvd only seems to be when its showcasing vince's superstars, especially from 96-98
all i know is better keep your old wcw tapes cause i doubt we will get any real wcw dvd sets anytime soon, its a shame vince has that whole library of great stuff, for ecw he did a few great dvds and wwe gets there's, but that whole wcw library gets nothing
even the nwo dvd was 50% of wwe's version of nwo, which was stupid, the real nwo was 96-97
i just wish after 10 years vince would get over it and give wcw some worthy dvds, even a best of wcw, or best of wcw nitro, anything, then if it sells great like the rise and fall of ecw do some more just like ecw
anways now that its cancelled what dvds are set to be released after the new eddie 3 disk ,i heard there doing a intercontinal dvd set, i thought they already did that already?

The Summerslam cover is...fine. Nothing special about it at all, but I'm looking forward to buying that event on DVD. I'm happy to learn about the $10 TNA DVDs at Best Buy - the next time I'm there, I'll definitely snag some. Here's a more complete listing of the $10 DVDs -
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....s&nrp=15&iht=n
Also, for anyone looking for the Rey Mysterio: Before They Were Stars or Vive Guerrero! DVDs that Big Vision put out - check your local Wal-Mart Latin bargain area, as I found them there (along with a Mistico and Rey Jr. DVD) for $5 apiece.
Vive Guerrero!'s main card is...fairly bad, but does have some gems, like the original La Parka dancing, Super Porky posing and being wacky, and best of HAKU AND SUPER PORKY IN A SUMO BATTEL!~ at the end of a battle royal.
Bad match card, but for $5, I got to see all of that greatness, plus Haku chopping the daylights out of people in the battle royal, and the bonus matches include Crazy vs. Eddie from ROH's debut show and Rey vs. Juvi from early in their careers, so there is some good stuff on the DVD.
However, the production values on the main card might just be the worst I've ever seen - it's usually too dark to see much of anything, as there appears to be just one light over the actual ring, making it completely impossible to see the crowd.

The IC title DVD that came out was just a budget-priced re-release of an old VHS tape - it wasn't a definitive DVD by any means, nor was it meant to be one. The Summerslam cover is...fine.

The one that you mention came years ago and yes, it is a reharsh of the old VHS.

TNA's always done that since they got their national DVD deal - Navarre limits them greatly with the amount of TNA DVDs they'll put out, so TNA supplements things by putting out some stuff that would normally only be sold on their site (greatly reducing the potential for those releases to make money) as exclusives to certain national chains (enabling the releases to get some kind of national release without using up a Navarre release slot).
They've done it with AAO '06 for Best Buy, and I recall FYE getting some exclusives as well. I'm glad TNA does this, as I have zero desire to A. pay full price or B. pay shipping on top of that to deal with ordering from their site, and being able to get Global Impact for $15 a few months ago at Best Buy was awesome, even if the show having the MAIN EVENT in clipped form exactly as it was shown on the TV special, bugged me.
Also, gerweck.net's stating that ALL TNA DVDs except for the Slammiversary 2008 one are $10 - however, Best Buy's site tells a different story, as only about a page or so of DVDs are $10.

For those going to Best Buy for the TNA dvds...look for the August Best Buy Insider. There's a coupon inside for 10% off any single dvd purchase.
Also, you guys might want to check the dvd bargain section and check the Blockbuster.com $10 off any $10 order online. They have tons of wrestling dvds that work out to a nice deal. I picked up the WWE World Class Championship Wrestling dvd for $15.XX.

Is there a way I can search at blockbuster.com for WWE in used dvds? I've tried with no success.

If you like UFC, they have some used DVDs still.
