Kids...

???

I'm crossing my fingers for a Denon one at some point. If they can combine HD DVD, Blu-ray along with the quality they already give DVD, SACD and DVD-A I will be happy to get one though I know it will be very expensive.

...That he pulled up a comment made 10 months ago.

oh ok. i thoguht you were being sarcastic.

i can't remember yesterday, nevermind 10 months ago.

What difference does that make? The dude replied matter of factly that there was not going to be an LG combo player as if he knew that (despite it already being reported that they were making one), he didn't say there would not be one in 9 months.

Anyone else going to use the Best Buy deal tomorrow? Buy 3 HD DVDs, save $20 or buy 2 and save $10? I'm going to buy 3 of the $24.99 titles. Total should come out to around $59. That's pretty good considering they have a great selection of titles. In the past 6 weeks, I've only bought Poseidon, The Departed, and Babel. I think it's time to splurge on some more content.

Definately going to take advantage of that deal. 3 $25 comes out to just over $18 per disc before taxes and I get to use $15 off coupon on them.

Im gonna get Stranger then Fiction on Tuesday...may pick up The Prestige and something else as well. Wonder if we can mix and match between the formats?

If you just want two HD-DVDs from Best Buy, you can add the Hdscape Sampler - HD-DVD for $0.32 or order three copies for $0.96. The only problem is the HD-DVD is a pre-order and you have to pay shipping.

Edit: The breakdown if you buy two $24.99 titles: $39.98 or $38.75 with the sampler. If you buy two $29.99 titles: $49.98 or $48.75 with the sampler.

On-line you can, so it should be OK in the store.

Or you can order three copies of the sampler for 96 cents before tax and shipping. Total for me was $6.40. Split this three ways with two friends and it's $2.13 a piece.

Printed out Target's online prices for HD DVDs and was able to pricematch them WITH the Buy 3, get $20 off deal. This made the deal much sweeter. Just wanted to let you all know that you can DEFINITELY do both (YMMV).

Got Superman Returns, Miami Vice and The Hulk for around $60 (they also had the 300 dvd/coupon add-on that I was able to add).

Picked up six today as well. May return and get 3 more on Tuesday when Bullitt is released.

Picked up:
12 Monkeys (DVD replacement)
The Sting (DVD replacement)
Excalibur (DVD replacement, I know the transfer is pretty blah, but I like the movie)
Dune (didn't realize this was the 80's version or I would have picked it up sooner)
V for Vendetta (rented and loved this one so its time to buy it)
Beerfest (Yeah I know, but I'm in the mood for something dumb)

Man, I hate it when people feel they have to defend movies to everyone around here. I used to and then stopped because I found from listening to what a lot of people around here think is great I ended up with some horrible crap in my collection I have had to sell off. Beerfest is funny (a little low brow) and absolutely one of the best blind buys I have made in years. Enjoy it without shame.

Oh and on topic, I have not been able to find any combination that gives me any incentive to take advantage of this deal. With 10% and amazon prime, the 10-20 discount just does not do it by the time you factor in tax and having to actually go to Best Buy (the one in Knoxville must have some of the slowest, dumbest and most pitiful employees in the whole country).

To be fair, Beerfest got a good review here from Adam and that was one of the reasons I picked it up. Watched it tonight and it was definitely what I expected. Flawed, but funny and raunchy. No regrets at all and definitely what I was in the mood to buy.
I hated their last movie as a troup, Club Dread, but this one had a lot of the stuff I liked about Supertroopers.

I realize that this deal is still not as good as Amazon, but I have a Best Buy 10 minutes away and the quick gratification was worth getting it there. I'm just happy to see Best Buy putting any HD DVDs on sale.

Sorry if I implied anything negative about our reviewers, they do a great job in general and usually do a good job of letting someone know enough to make their own decision. I was more reffering to posts in the forum. Instant gratification is fun, but with 9.25% tax in TN it gets rather expensive.

Also, I have to agree with the Club Dread comment. I enjoyed it, but not nearly as much as Super Troopers or Beerfest.

Anyone else able to pricematch? I might try today.

For the Best Buy deal....it appears you can combine HD and Blu-Ray (at least online it works). I tested with the HD Sampler. I did not buy anything, as it still was pricey.

So could you preorder 2 sampler discs and one other title for in store pickup and cancel the two preorders after you pick up the one in store? Might be an easy way to get an addional ~$7 off.

I think YMMV on that as I've read as of lately if you cancel something, they charge you more for the discount that was previously taken. I know there was a deal with XBOX Live Marketplace points.

BUT, worth a shot.

just got back from Best Buy and picked up 6 hd's. 2 of them were mispriced so it worked out even better. Here's what i scored:

2 Fast 2 Furious: $18.99 was supposed to be $24.99
Space Cowboys: $19.99 was supposed to be $24.99
Lucky Number Slevin: $24.99

total after the $20 off was about $46.xx. I was quite happy about that.

2nd round had all of these at $24.99:

Van Helsing
Jarhead
Constantine

Total came out to about $56.xx
Not too shabby, plus i used giftcards for both orders except about $16 worth.

I also saw that you can pricematch this deal at Circuit City. They did have better prices on Departed and Babel than Best buy.

I dont know if it has been said, but the Best Buy deal ($20 off 3 discs) DOES work on some pre-orders online (HD-DVD and BD). The Game HD-DVD is one of them.

At least I can get to the cart and it works, I havent completed the checkout.

I don't have the amazon 10% or prime shipping, so the Best Buy deal works out for me especially if you pick three $25 titles. Picked up The Terminator, 50 First Dates and Saw for $55 plus some Reward Zone points for me
