Buying HD-DVD discs and sales...

So how is everyone getting their discs? Obviously Amazon is a good bet at this point. Any places actually having these on sale or at least advertising for a price match?

Amazon is currently the only way I'm getting them. No Targets or Wal-Marts sell them and I will not pay the prices Best Buy is charging.

My Walmart's pricing compares to Amazon. Best Buy is the most expensive. My local Circuit City has them all for $24.99, regardless of what the list price is.

That sucks. Are BB's price-matching with anyone else?

If you have a Fry's, they're pretty good on the WB catalog... $19.99 plus you local tax.

I don't know what they're going ot price the hybrid discs for, I guess we'll know as soon as Rumor Has It is released.

Yeah, we don't have those. They're only in a few states.

And it doesn't seem like they sell HD-DVD's at the outpost.

Amazon has been the best bet for me. I did pick up Goodfellas at Best Buy for $24.99, but that's about as much as I want to spend at the moment.

It was marked at $24.99 in-store. All of the WB titles were the same price at my local store.

Up until recently, WM in Kansas city have not had HD-DVD's....but they just started to carry them this past week in the Supercenters. I stopped by today hoping they would put out 5/9 releases, but they even had an outside video dist. person doing a store reset, so no go.

Best Buy sells their HD discs $5 more than Amazon and Walmart. I wouldn't get them there unless you can't find them any place else.

I think Columbia House would be the answer....but I don't think that will be anytime soon.

They will probably only offer Blu-Ray discs, since Columbia is part of Sony, right?

Yep, Sony owns BMG who in turn owns Columbia House.
