Street Date Breakers
 

I know the feeling we all have when we browse the DVD and High Def display area's in our favorite area shopping locations and we are delighted to find the coming weeks titles let go early!

One employee's mistake makes a handfuls day!!

This could be the place where we all could post!


Please provide for everyone :

......................


Hot Fuzz - HD-DVD

Circuit City

Corridor G/South Ridge Plaza - Charleston, WV

$39.99

My local Blockbuster always has catalog titles out a week before they officially come out. Saw Shaun of the Dead yesterday but passed at the $24.99 price.

This thread will be of little use though.

As always so useful to so many threads...:(

Yeah, I'm sure you would rather read about people fighting over who should win the format war on 38 different threads or how other websites are pro certain format.

I'd rather read about something that has relevance to whats factual - and what I can see and hear - rather than speculation or bickering.

I'm looking for the positive things that are coming out of both formats.

And of course, I'm reading further into this than what was stated by, GizmoDVD - But I'd rather keep this from going further into a negative light or getting this thread shut down.

I don't think this thread is a good idea.

I understand that this is your opinion, but can you say something more that that?

Maybe worried about reprecussions of studios on the retailers?

All GizmoDVD was saying was that this would be of little use because most of us don't live in the same place. No one is going to go out of state (or even out of the county) to pick up a new disc release early.

I don't want to get some minimum wage worker fired because I reported their mistake on this thread! These folks already have difficult lives without me announcing to the world that they opened up a box of DVDs earlier than allowed. I see these types of mistakes all the time, but I never publicize them because I don't want to cause anyone to be fired from their sad jobs because of me.

Hey big guy - I wasnt trying to get anyone in trouble. Just simply trying to inform others that there are films out there.

0f course not everyone is from the same location but there are people that ARE from the same area as what would be posted - and this information would pertain to them.

Just like other forum postings or wanted lists - if it doesnt pertain to your city or state just ignore. :D

In this particular forum, there are maybe 80-100 active posters. Very few of us live anywhere near each other, and if we do, very few of us will go out and spend an extra $5-$15 to pick up a title a week early (as most street breakers are uncommon places you wouldn't shop for HD media). I don't think I would be out of line to say most of us shop online, mainly Amazon for out HD media.

We've had this type of thread before on in the DVD forum and it was not very helpful. It becomes a mess . If anything, if we have a specific thread talking about a certain movie (Hot Fuzz for example), then I can understand someone posting 'OMG!!! I found it at BLANK in BLANK for $$$'.

Its a good, helpful idea, but I can't see it really helping too many people out.
