The Official HD DVD Clearance Sale Thread Part 2
since the other thread was closed for length, lets resume the chat here..
(always wanted to make a new thread that i knew would end up to be a very active one :) ) |
Not a huge deal, but most of the Magnolia titles have dropped to about 50% off at amzon - titles like The Host and World's Fastest Indian.

i went to Wal-Mart last night and they had some for $17.00, sticker price. I got The Kingdom and Elizabeth The Golden Age. They rang up as $15.00. Seems pretty inconsistant since I went to another Wal-Mart to see if they had some others cheap and the same two titles were $29.99. So it's hit or miss at this point.

My EzyDVD order of Terminator 2 shipped yesterday. Anxious to get it. Has anyone gotten the Austrailian release of T2? I can't seem to find any reviews of its quality. I understand that it's basically the director's cut with no extras.

Why on earth does District B13 cost more on HD DVD than it does on Blu-Ray? Been waiting for that one to drop...

Depends on what an "Issue" is. It's not the theater aspect ratio, but the director did approve to "open up" the image to 1.78:1. I can't recall the directors name at the moment, but some of his previous films films were put on dvd this way. So the dvd/HDdvd are not OAR, but they are the directors intended home viewing ratio. EDIT: Whoops, looks like someone beat me to it. |
Just got back from Best Buy. The HDDVD's are on a rolling cart near the front and have been picked over pretty thoroughly. Not much worth getting. I did pick up Spartacus and Meet the Fockers for $10.49 each. I had a couple burned copies so this was worth upgrading for $22. I grabbed the last copy of each. No problem with the price match.

My Wal-Mart in Greenville, SC reduced some of their HD DVDs (unusual because this WM usually sucks at clearances I hear going on at other stores), but most are gone. American Gangster, Bourne Ultimatium, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry and a few others were $17.00 but are gone. Elizabeth: The Golden Age was still there -- also at $17.00.

Half.com is where it's at. I've scored 15 HD DVD's the past two weeks for under $10 a piece. Half of which were still sealed. Not brand new releases mind you but I'll be able to get those titles in a few months for good prices.

Is that with the $2.50 shipping? |
DanDaMan069 - "..So, you just have to get lucky and have a store with cool managers and sales clerks.."
DVDPolizei - "Kinda like finding a woman with three tit and four vaginas, but I agree" I feel the same way... except my gf was my cashier and her manager is a friend of mine :) |

Since we're mentioning things like Half.com, I'll throw out that Craig's List isn't a bad place to poke around as well. Just today, I met up with a guy and bought 13 HD DVDs for $100. They all look like they're fresh out of their shrink wrap and he said he'd only watched each of them once. I got:
Harry Potter 1-4 Bourne 2 & 3 Superman 1 & 2 The Fugitive Blood Diamond 2001 The Perfect Storm Top Gun Beats the hell out of most of the lots I've seen on ebay. |
Where is the cheapest place to get hardware these days? I am looking into a new TV for my bedroom and a nice upconverting DVD player would help. If yousearch on Best Buy they advertise Toshiba A3 as Upconverting DVD player with HD-DVD playback :)

Edited to Add: TigerDirect and CompUSA both have the A3 on their site for $79.99 + s/h (including 2 movies). |
