Where is everyone getting the deals on Kick-Ass? Seems like a waste of Best Buy RZ points or whatever when the price will inevitably drop or does outrageous prices just not matter?

isn't $22.99 pretty standard and not that bad for a combo @ BB, especially one with a decent amount of extras that are exclusive to Blu?

I'll rent Kick Ass someday... might also rent Charlie's Angels just to see a little high-def eye candy.

I didn't see it in the theater, even though I had planned to, so that's $10 in my pocket I have to put towards the purchase.

Plus I'll be returning a copy of The Wolf Man that I never opened (and purchased with gift cards) to Target and getting them to price match K-A with Best Buy.

in other words, a fairly painless purchase.
-unless I end up hating the film.

Kick Ass for me. Just under $22 for me from Amazon since it was in my Gold Box. Even so, 22.99 isn't really "outrageous" with most new releases coming in at 24.99 or 25.99.

Even if it's something that will probably drop in a couple months, i'm eager to see it again.
