Official Moviestop Thread - B2G1 on 10/20?

[Bezerker]

Current Deals: Nothing great, just the random "Managers special" sales. Up to 50% on various things. I'd imagine most of them would be horror movies as we're coming up on the holiday.

Upcoming Deals & Pre-order Bonuses:

10/20 - Midnight Release for Transformers 2 - Usually Moviestop does a B2g1 on the Night of the midnight release (10/19) and the Tuesday as well.

Gamestop's website has FINALLY put up a PDF of all the locations for Moviestop. The CAG auto-affiliate link made linking not work, so you'll have to copy/paste the two lines into one and change the hxxp to http.

[Tyga24]

Also, i dont think the 50% off a $12 or less purchase coupon would work either.

I haven't seen those 50% off coupons in any store for a few months now. Have they started putting them back out in EB/GS around the area?

Thanks for the heads up on the sale, I'm guessing this is their July 4th promo then?

[Bezerker]

No, i kept a master coupon so i can make as many copies as I want. There was no expiration date; so i figured why not.

Yea, seems like this'll be their promo for the 4th.

[furyk]

It'd be better if the prices weren't totally jacked up to the moon. I went to buy some Witch Hunter Robin singles and they were bumped up to $15 from their previous price of $10. Other anime titles (and a few horror movies I checked) had significant price jumps.

[Bezerker]

updated the OP with the trade 4 details

[Voiceroy]

MovieStop started offering the B3/G1 promotion again this week, but I didn't think to ask how long the sale will last.

[Bezerker]

Supposedly there will be a Midnight launch of Transformers with a B2G1F sale for the entire day.

[heatdolphins45]

Can it be VHS Titles or only DVD's on the trade 4 get $20?

[Bezerker]

Only dvds, vhs's average about 10-25 cents each trade in value.

[mtxbass1]

Do the DVD's have to have a minimum value? I seriously have about 30 I wouldn't mind getting rid of...

[Bezerker]

Nope, as long as they are of the studios listed above they are accepted.

[thechipunks]

I do the 4 for 19.99 all the time..my method is to go to gamestop and buy their 1.99 DVDS (with the B2G1) and then go to movie stop. I get new releases for about 5-6 this way. And if they're seasons i usually only pay about 8-11.00

[Bezerker]

Bump, updated with some new info and a great way to get some cheap movies.

[kyle90316]

what exactly are moviestops

[Bezerker]

Its Gamestop's movie store. Theyre mainly in the SE. I've updated the OP with the only store location list i have (its a year old)

I was able to get 40 movies at CC, brought them to Moviestop and ordered the following:

Blu-Ray

Paprika
Badder Santa
Omega Man
Masters of Horror Vol 3
Masters of Horror Vol 4
Blade Runner
Led Zeppelin

HD-DVD
Anchorman
Tremors
Old School

10 BR/HD's for $13.28 each after tax. Not too bad at all. I may go back later in the week. I want to order War & Pan's Labryinth as well

[sying]

If they give away eye patches for the POC:AWE release I am so there. I won a Optimus Prime standup at the Transformers midnight release.

[CocheseUGA]

My store won't allow the T4 for the HD stuff. Pretty much my only reason for going in the store anymore.

[Bezerker]

Bump with a new anime promotion

[animemaniac14]

so wait is moviestop STILL doing the promotion with the trade in 4 get 19.99 credit towards new releases?? please someone let me know ASAP!

and do they accept movies without their original cases for this deal?

[Bezerker]

From what i understand, most stores are shutting down the deal, but it cant hurt to ask.

I'm not sure about them taking disc only stuff.

[animemaniac14]

From what i understand, most stores are shutting down the deal, but it cant hurt to ask.

I'm not sure about them taking disc only stuff.

well luckily, i called my store and they ARE still doing the promo! joy! so ill be heading up there friday and trading in some stuff to put towards a pre-order for Paprika which im dying to see...big fan of Satoshi Kon

[Solius2009]

There is also a new one in Tuscaloosa AL now.

[lordopus99]

the deal is what made this store so special... now it is not worth it at all :(

[Bezerker]

Which deal are you referring to, the trade 4?

I thought it was more special when it was trade 3, but i guess they lost a lot of money on that. Trade 4 isnt bad, however from what i heard, there may be another new rule that all dvds have to be worth $1.50 value to qualify. I just hope it doesnt happen.

[Bezerker]

Figure i'd give this a bump with the sale coming in a few days.

[sying]

Huzzah for Battlestar on HD-DVD

[Skylander7]

Damn... I missed it. Would've loved to pick up some Blu-Ray Kubrick. The Prattville store usually doesn't seem to know what specials are going on though.

[animemaniac14]

to anyone who cares, moviestop (at least the one in kennesaw/marietta) is still doing the Trade 4 movies get credit towards a new movie promotion. I'm gonna trade a bunch of dvds in and get Paprika Blu-Ray :-D

[Bezerker]

I updated the op, apparently all stores will still be doing the Trade 4, but they are no longer allowed to advertise it.

Also, they have a new rule that all trades must be worth $1.50 in value. Really puts a damper on my budget dvd flipping...

[JolietJake]

I wish there were moviestop stores around here. 3 gamestops within 5 miles but no moviestops.

[animemaniac14]

this thread should be updated to say that MovieStop is now running their 40% off all used anime sale once again!

[Bezerker]

Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to go to my store and check to make sure its a national thing.

[Bezerker]

Updated the op with some info, nothing too big

[cag1000]

Brand new Movie Stop just moved in by me. They are having a buy 2 get 1 free sale on everything in the store. Any oop rare suggestions to look for?

[jiggyteddy]

damn there are none in nyc yet!

[DarkKenpachi]

Brand new Movie Stop just moved in by me. They are having a buy 2 get 1 free sale on everything in the store. Any oop rare suggestions to look for?


My suggestions are to look for the transformers Generation 1 season sets, Gi Joe season sets, and maybe even the Gem season sets. Actually any animation season set fro Rhino DVD
Also the OOP disney dvds like pinocchio, snow white, and the fantasia box set.

Just a few from the top of my head that I know are hard to get and great trade bait.

I would also like to add there is a Store in Philadelphia at Cottman and Bustleton Ave's were the old Blockbuster use to be. Sorry I don't have the exact address and phone number but I will get them whenever I get a chance to stop in the store again.

[jiggyteddy]

Do they have a website?

[Bezerker]

I guess even though theyre up to around 40 stores nationwide, they dont wanna bother with making a site. I wish they would because buying dvds off of Gamestop.com is a p.i.t.a..

[siptang]

There's one in Fort Walton Beach, FL. I'll post the address later.

[ryoga79]

Statement retracted because I'm fraking blind. The moviestop in Wilmington, NC now has blue "HD Movie" signs beside the blue "Blu-Ray" signs, so it looked like they didnt' have any HD-dvds. Yea, I'm a retard...

[Skylander7]

Hmmm... anyone have the updated price for Planet Earth? I'm going by later to take a look at a few things. How about used price drops? Are the new drops to $9.99 to $14.99 the used or new price? Although a subsidiary of Gamestop... I have to say, I've never seen a flaw on a used Moviestop disc. Thanks for the info OP!

[CocheseUGA]

HD prices have definetly not dropped here. I've seen some stuff like 2001 for $10, but any semi-popular/newer release is still $20+.

I'll check again on Wednesday, but I doubt I'll find anything worth buying.

[ryoga79]

Let me through this out to anyone, maybe my Moviestop just sucks.

The Moviestop here in Wilmington, NC is located directly beside a Gamestop. There isn't a time I haven't been in Moviestop that someone hasn't asked the question "Can I use my Gamestop credit over here at Moviestop, since you are part of the same company?" Every single time, the answer is "No, you can use our credit over there, but not their credit here. Since we are not the same company and our computers are setup completely different, the credit can't be read and sued. But, you can use your Edge card to save an additional 10% off of all purchases."

And everytime I scratch my head in amazement at this. They have even thrown out that "Gamestop and Movies Too are NOT REAL Moviestops!" Has anyone else encountered this? My bro said that they just don't like me (they recently converted a GS to a Moviestop near him from what he said), but they do this to everyone who asks...and people asks at least 2-3 times everytime I'm in there.

I've witnessed the same thing. I've also witnessed the same response. It doesn't make any sense.. and hell, they are even advertising a job fair at my local store on a flier for Gamestop AND Moviestop. Who knows. Then again.. attempting to devise any sort of logic in Gamestop megacorp is a little bit of an impossibility. You would think that they would support a new business line in order to spur expansion with credit from their primary line of business.

I have a feeling that like many Gamestop store credit situations (the Rhino to Gamestop or EB credit to Gamestop credit situations come to mind), are similar to this one: it can be done, but the employees simply do not know how.

[Bezerker]

It mainly is that they want you to spend your money there. Barnes & Noble is owned by Gamestop as well; and while you can buy used games from B&N's website, you cant use GS credit on there either.

[starmask2k3]

is moviestop in buffalo

[Bezerker]

The locations in the OP are all I have. Stores around here only give locations for the state. Searching on Google, Mapquest or White/Yellowpages might help.

[metallicoholic]

Just went to Moviestop over here in Orlando and Planet Earth on HD DVD was $29.99 used. I picked it up because with the 10% discount, it becomes the cheapest price I've seen for it yet. Didn't notice any drastic changes to the used prices though. The cheapest used price was still $9.99 for King Kong. Otherwise, most the movies were $19.99 and up used.

Also picked up all three Resident Evils on Blu Ray for $52. It's a little pricey, but I just wanted to bite the bullet and buy it.

And for those wondering, it appears as if the B2G1 sale for Blu Ray is only for certain titles. The ones off the top of my head that I remember are: Patriot, Resident Evil (1,2,3), Die Hard (could be all of them but only saw 1,2,3 on the table), Simpsons Movie, Paprika, 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, Fantastic Four, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Fifth Element, Layer Cake, Hellboy, Spider-Man 3, Casino Royale, and Surf's Up. I know there are a few more but I just don't remember them.

As far as pricing is concerned, most of them were $29.99 which doesn't make this that great of a deal. I do remember that Resident Evil 1&2, Patriot, Fifth Element, Casino Royale, Layer Cake, and Hellboy were between $20-22 though, so if you can pick up a few $20 flicks, this might be worth it.

[Bezerker]

bump, updated the op with this week's deals

[animemaniac14]

you should update the first post with the Anime 40% off sale..:_D

[Bezerker]

Its been in there since 27 hours before your post, lol.

[Skylander7]

Anyone seen any HD DVD price drops yet on either new or used? Mine tends to rarely resticker updated prices, and aren't very receptive to having to check a price. I'm guessing they have universal prices across the chain, so any info would be great.

[Bezerker]

My store's prices have been dropping every week. I'll be going back tomorrow night to check up on whatever the deal is for this week, and hopefully an update on the mystery HD-DVD blowout.

[Bezerker]

Looks like this deal is going on for another week. Unfortunately, it seems that Moviestop has taken part in the HD-DVD recall. My store sent all of its new stock back except for about 20 titles, the Heroes Boxset, and the Matrix boxsets.

[Skylander7]

If anybody can, try to post prices that you see dropping. My store refused to scan more than three titles stating that "we've already restickered the latest drops." They had Pan's Labyrinth stickered at $24.99, but restickered it to $29.99 when they checked the price for it (new). I'm guessing that it is the used HD DVD's that are dropping. Another price check of the three was on a used copy of V for Vendetta, which I got a little satisfaction out of it scanning below the stickered price of $17.99 at $12.99.

Seriously.. my store is staffed with some real assholes. I can understand retail hell, but come on.. if somebody walks up to the counter, don't just walk off because you don't feel like helping them out. That and it's practically impossible to have updated the prices on all of the DVD's in their store.

It used to be when they first started, the employees would be as un-Gamestop as possible - help you out with deals, not take all the great deals for themselves, go out of their way to get stuff for you.

Glad to see GS cracked down on that. :roll:

[Bezerker]

Moviestop has definitely gotten worse. I guess they aren't making enough money, they've been really nailing ppl with pre-order requests and whatnot.

There was a corporate wide recall on most new hd-dvds, so i doubt you'll find any drops anytime soon. The used drops i noticed were the Universal & WB titles were all $12.99-$14.99 from $19.99-22.99, Weinsteins were $9.99 from $19.99. Its no firesale, but they've gotta be doing a B2G1F sale sometime soon.

[Junior Asparagus]

If you're still looking for locations, there's one in North Attleboro, MA. The only one I've ever seen.

Fashion Crossing
1250 S Washington Street
North Attleboro MA, 02760 US
(508) 643-6955

I have a flyer that has various locations in the Northeast (DE, VA, MA, NC, PA, NJ), if you need it.

[animemaniac14]

Gonna check out my local moviestop tomorrow and will be able to use the edge card to get 50% off my purchase (possibly) of anime :-D SAHWEEET! thx again for the update Bezerker

[animemaniac14]

well unfortunately the 40% off didn't stack with the 10% off edge card :( but i was still able to get a good deal (just under $14) on the Blue Gender Complete Viridian Collection...not too shabby

[darylfoot]

yeah, they don't stack deals like GS. Most of the HD's are gone from here, but I did notice Heroes HD marked down to $39.99. I got Planet Earth HD there used for $29.99-10% of course.

[Bezerker]

no good deals this week; though i did notice that hd-dvd prices dropped even more (Sopranos boxsets went from $48 to $30; some other titles dropped to $9.99)

[darylfoot]

They started a Buy 3 get 1 free sale here on used stuff.....

[Skylander7]

They started a Buy 3 get 1 free sale here on used stuff.....

Interesting, including the HD-DVD's? I'd go by and take a look at stuff, but it's getting to the point to where it's too much of a hassle to deal with my local store. If I go by and see some drops, I'll post em here. Anyone see any particular price drops that they can recall off the top of their head for the HDDVD's?

[Byramerica]

This deal is happening at the MovieStop location on Blanding Blvd in Jacksonville, FL, buy 3 used DVD's get 1 free. I did not see any HD-DVD's in this store, just a reconfigured section towards the front with a large selection of Blu-Ray discs(at least 3 double-sided racks full of them and a lot of plastic cases on the floor in that section.)

What I grabbed:

Star Trek Insurrection 2 Disc Special Edition -7.99

Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery-5.99
(Surprisingly, for how much I love these movies, I did not have them on DVD, now I have all three)

The Great Gatsby-3.99(Amazing movie, Robert Redford, Mia Farrow, and a young Sam Waterston, awesome flick)

Austin Powers in Goldmember-2.99(FREE)


I am gonna go back pretty soon for a season 5 set of ST:TNG for 30 used, cheapest price I've found yet, just gotta grab my trade fodder and head over there tomorrow!

[Bezerker]

added this week's details, unfortunately no good deals.

[davyd]

For your list of locations...there's a Moviestop here in Leominster, MA.

[Bezerker]

No update this week, haven't had the chance to go out to the mall.

However i do have some good news for any Columbia House members. There is currently a code floating around (871245) that is good for B1G4 Free on $19.95+ dvds (no boxsets/high def movies). Moviestop pays $12 a movie for most new releases. Basically meaning you can turn $20-$25 into $60 easy.

Code doesn't appear to be working... or maybe it's not active.

[Bezerker]

Works fine for me, just placed my 3rd order litterally 2 minutes ago. There seems to be a trick to get it to work:

" - enter 801888 (or any other working code)
- once you submit that code paste "&onlineStr=871245" to the end of the url and change the x's to the b1g4 code and don't include the quotations."

[Drizztd9]

Wanted to chime in with a couple locations i didnt see on your list. There is 1 in Tuscaloosa AL on Macfarland Blvd across from Macfarland mall.....and there is 1 in the Centerpoint/Trussville AL area.

[cag1000]

Got a BOGO coupon on all used dvds in the mail yesterday and used it (one time use only). Incredible deal, especially when you are finding rare oop dvds like i did....

[Bezerker]

Any chance you could scan the coupon? Most of the time they use a code that works in all the systems.

Sorry I havent kept the thread updated, no deals this week except HD-DVD prices keep dropping. most of the used movies are now $5.99-$12.99 and boxsets for $30-50.

[neocisco]

I didn't even know this thread existed. Bezerker, the store in Marietta,GA is really in Kennesaw. It's technically a Marietta address but the area is considered Kennesaw. Just wanted to offer that info for the OP.

[ryoga79]

I was told last night by the manager at the MS in Wilmington, NC that all stores will stop carrying HD or doing anything related to HD by the end of May.

The only $5.99 movies there are King Kong, though I have picked up Shooter and Serenity for $9.99 each.

[cag1000]

Sorry they took the coupon and said I couldn't use it twice.

[ryoga79]

I'd kill for a bogo coupon...

[Shimrra]

Anyone know where I can score a good deal on Hot Fuzz HD-DVD?

[Bezerker]

Been a while since I've updated this thread. I left the original trade 4 details in because the promotion they are running now is about the same for most cases, and worse for others. Depending on the value of the Blu-Ray you are pre-ordering for "50% off" you could be losing money in your trades.

[ryoga79]

Anime deal is back on. Was at MS today and got used anime dvds for 50% off (40% sale + 10% edge card). Was told it's on until NEXT Sunday.

[neocisco]

Any recommendations for a very casual anime fan? I've already seen Ghost in the Shell, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Steamboy, basically mainstream stuff (as far as anime is concerned). I prefer more realistic styles as opposed to the "big eye" stuff.

[ryoga79]

Hmm, I can recommend a few titles.

One that is not out yet that I highly highly HIGHLY recommend is The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. I have it on dvd (r2 subbed) but I will be buying this as soon as it is released.

As for stuff that is out, I recommend the following:
Kimagure Orange Road (total 16 volumes which is 12 tv eps, 2 ova dvds and 2 movies): Great love triangle story with the male having psychic abilities. Classic

His and Her Circumstances (5 tv volumes): Excellent series about highschool love and lose

Azumanga Daioh (6 tv volumes): excellent show about a group of highschool girls and their crazy lives.

Kite (1 ova, if you want something that is NOT considered Hentai, get the original edited release, Purple artwork): La Femme Nikita of Japan, released 3 times in the US due to the graphic sexual content. You can watch teh edited version (they only edit out the sex, the language is still there) and never miss a thing. My dub studio did this one.

Oh My Goddess ova (new 3dvd boxset recommended): excellent 5 part ova series that my dub studio did. It's a classic.
Bubble Gum Crisis 2032 aka Bubble Gum Crisis ovas (remastered 4 ova set recommended): Cyberpunk at it's best. Classic series.

I'm 3/4 of the way asleep, so I can't think of any others ATM. Project A-Ko is good (get the remaster), Record of Loddoss War is classic (get the remastered RED set of the OVAs), Nausicaa is probably my favorite anime movie EVER (can't recommend it enough).

[Slappybob]

Does Moviestop have a website or is it just a chain of stores somewhere?

[ryoga79]

B&M store. There is a page someplace with all the locations (I was surprised to see that they added another MovieStop in my state), but you can't order the stuff online from them. You can't use Gamestop credit either, so it's always YMMV on selection and prices. I've seen the same dvd used at this one with different prices on the stickers, but they tend to go with the lowest price always.

You can't use GS credit but you can use the Edge card. It's odd. I traded some things in a couple of months back for the first time in a couple of years and I was surprised to see that they still use paper receipts and not cards for credit. That's just laziness on somebody's part at corporate. Either lazy or just plain cheap.

[ryoga79]

I couldn't tell you how many times I hear the whole "Yes, we give you the discount, but you can't use the credit from the GS right next door over here because we are 2 completely different companies with different filing systems" speech they give to people everytime I go in there.

[Methadon]

I stopped in my local MS today, and they had this sale going on (didn't see it posted). The sign said for DVDs, but the guy said it'd work on any used movies.

Not that great a deal, since most of their used movies are overpriced anyway, but figured I'd post it in case.

[metallicoholic]

This works for BRs too, so this can be a good deal if you can find some cheap used Blu Rays.

[Cedrock15]

so the b3g1 free also applies for blu-ray? I went on saturday but didn't even think of asking. The b2g1 blu-ray table only had about 20 titles and were $25-$35. There are some overprice used titles but you can also get some good deals on others.

[velcro600]

If This is the wrong forum Im sorry .. please move it

Does any one have any experience with trading in dvd there? Do they give you good trade in values or are they like gamestop? I just have a bunch of dvd I want to get rid of and I found out there is a moviestop by my house

[Bezerker]

They give really good values on new movies. Usually everything single disc gets $12 in the first two weeks. It goes down from there.

They have a deal going on now where if you trade 4 movies with TIV's of $1.50 or more, you get $20 off a new/preorder dvd/blu-ray.

sorry to hijack your thread OP but i was wondering if there is any other company that does those kinda promotions (or anything similar) seeing as Moviestop decided to completely skip over South Carolina when planning their stores. ( i go to college in utah if that happens to open up any other doors)

and OP i gotta say that this is the best way to upgrade your dvd collection to blu-ray. cause i've looked into trading my old dvds (not all of them just the ones that i don't enjoy anymore) into a place like FYE and selling them online and they fetch next to nothing. sad really

[bigdaddybruce44]

Wow, that's a pretty good promotion. Too bad there are only a couple of MovieStop stores in Jersey, and they are way too far away to make the trip worthwhile.

[Cedrock15]

they give terrible trade in values, at least for what I traded in.

Matrix 1
Matrix Reloaded
Matrix Revolutions
LOTR 1, 2 and 3
The Descent unrated with sleeve
Terminator 3 FS
Poseidon

Those 9 movies they told me $14.50! I mean yes they are common and poseidon T3 are poop but $14.50?? So seeing the trade 4 dvds in and get 1/2 off blu-ray pre-order I said i would use 4 movies to do that deal and take credit for the rest. So like 10 minutes later...yes 10 minutes she said she messed up transaction and supervisor said i can pick out a dvd for free. I stated i wanted a blu-ray and I picked up 2 used ones that came to $33 total and they shaved off $16! :) on top of the $16 that applied to the blu-ray pre-order. So in the end i went from $14.50 trade-in to getting $32 after some shody cashier work that took 10 minutes too long.

Btw if you do the trade 4 dvds in to get 50% off a blu-ray preorder its not really a good deal because it's only the selected movies on the sign. The only options for me were harold and kumar (came out a day later) or iron man (which was months away). I say trade your movies in at fye as you get more there...

[argyle]

My gf took 3 movies in to trade to them on Sat. They quoted her just over $2. She was about to take it, but I was looking at some movies nearby & overheard. I told her "why don't you just take them to Blockbuster?" The cashier says "Oh, what kind of deal are they running?" I told them about their minimum $4 credit for any movie (in my area, at any rate). She says "even the one without a case?" Ironically, the one she was talking about was in a GS generic case. I kinda chuckled and said, "even if not, she'd still get $8 for the other two."

[munch]

Some of you have gotten deals on HD DVDs. Were they marked differently, or was there an unadvertised sale?

[ryoga79]

I wish my movie stop would still carry Hds, and that they would quit selling bootleg anime dvds....

[Bezerker]

Some of you have gotten deals on HD DVDs. Were they marked differently, or was there an unadvertised sale?

All the HD-DVD's in my store are marked $3.99 (King Kong & Bourne Identity mostly) to $9.99 (everything else). Boxsets vary from $5.99 (Nip Tuck Season 4, which i re-sold on ebay for $23) to $29.99 (Heroes & Ultimate Matrix). That should be the national price.

[ryoga79]

Anyone with a movie stop that still sells HD-DVDs wanna help a brotha out?

Holy crap.

[Gden]

Awesome, glad we're going to Atlanta (nearest Moviestop) on saturday, hopefully some good anime is available used.

[Bezerker]

decided to bump the thread with the new coupon, once again thanks to Bossman.

I wish my store would put me on the email list for these coupons. They have a list going in store which i signed 2 weeks ago.

Cant seem to get this coupon to print correctly, only wants to save the middle part of it when i right click save. Is this found in their advertisment mag

[Bezerker]

Bump, Moviestop is clearing out on their HD-DVD's with a 40% off sticker price. The 40% also stacks with the B1G1 coupon.

I picked up Heroes Season 1 & Planet Earth (both on HD-DVD) for $18 total. Very very nice.


I also confirmed that the B1G1 coupon is not limit 2 items, you an Buy 2 and Get 2 Free, Buy 3 and get 3 Free, so on and so forth.

[bossman]

That's because the coupon is actually made up of 4 separate images. You would need to save all these images and put them together. I get it as an e-mail newsletter from GameStop News [gsnews@email.ebgames.com]. I don't remember how I signed up for it tbh.

That maybe YMMV. My store didnt let me do that. I did however pick up Rome Season 1 and John Adams for 40. Going to hit up the other one in my town tommorow and hopefully they will let me stack

[cag1000]

Woah. Can't believe i missed this thread with this coupon by one day. I have recieved 2 B1G1 coupons in the mail for Moviestop and used both but haven't seen an online one. Please if this coupon pops up again I would be so grateful for you to post it again.

[neocisco]

I went in today to reserve Incredible Hulk on BR with the trade 4 promo. Each DVD has to trade in for $1.50. 2 of mine had a trade-in credit of $1.49. So essentially MS is intentionally keeping these .01 lower so they can't qualify for the promo. That's a great way to encourage repeat customers.:roll:

Hopefully they'll match Fry's at $25. If not, BB has it for $26.

[Bezerker]

Not sure if its YMMV, but im told that Moviestop should be doing a B2G1 tonight & Tomorrow all day to celebrate the release.

They also came out with a new 50% off all items $11.99 and under coupon. I'll have a scan when I can.

Thanks bossman, I dont know why I dont get any of these emails. They did a signup sheet in the store a month or two ago...

[Byramerica]

I don't know how many stores are doing this, but MovieStop has a card of their own now called the Director's Club card, much like the Edge Card. Here are the stats on it:

- You pay $15
- 10% off all used movies purchased
- 10% bonus credit trade credit when trading movies (it says some restrictions apply, I don't know what they are)
- 55 weeks of Entertainment Weekly magazine..I asked about this considering I already have a subscription, the cashier said it would add time onto my current subscription

Pretty good deal in my opinion, the card lasts for one year, the cashier punches the month and year it will expire, much more flimsy than Edge card, not credit card style so credit cannot be applied to it

Yea, I signed up for the card a couple weeks ago and have 2 issues of EW so far. The interesting thing is I received a post card in the mail from entertainment weekly saying "With your one-year subscription, you get a free Directors Club card ($2 retail value.)"

This is referring to my discount card that according to the clerk "is $15 with a free subscription to Entertainment Weekly." But the card has it the other way around, so I am wondering if you can just get the card for $2, and I also wonder if it works the same way the Gamestop and Gameinformer.

[Dah-Dee]

I see over in the game deals forum that GS is apparently running a bonus trade-in credit promo with 3/4/5 titles, starting on Monday. Does MS mirror GS on these types of promos?

Thanks for any info; I'm trying to decide whether to hit MS today for the trade-4-for-a-free-new-release promo, or wait until next week for 'something better.'

[Bezerker]

Unfortunately no, Moviestop considers itself a seperate entity, especially now that they no longer accept the edge card, and you also cannot use GS credit.

I honestly haven't been to my Moviestop in a while. I'll probably hit it up tomorrow or Sunday to see what new promotions are upcoming.

[hobbie8046]

They opened a new MovieStop in Spotsylvania, VA a couple of weeks ago...have already spent way too much money at the place. My only issue is that they get VERY pissy if you do not preorder anything when you check out.

[neocisco]

That should change the longer the store is open. They're just all gung ho about it since the store is brand new.

[Byramerica]

Just as a heads up, today I went to my local MovieStop in Jacksonville, FL (this may be YMMV) but they were having B3G1 free offer for all used games thru this Sunday, I also saw a B2G1 on select titles as a Manager's special, mostly kids movies, Disney; I picked up The Rocketeer, Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo and Herbie Rides Again for just over $20 (they were all new)...I gotta head back tomorrow for the used cuz I didn't have time or energy to search like I wanted to

Hope this helps someone

[Shagrath]

Is there a MovieStop newsletter you guys are signed up to to get these ads? I see they're hosted at gamestop.com.

[Bezerker]

Yea, if you go in-store they have a sheet to sign up.

I went to MS on Tuesday, they werent running any special deals other than the random clearance tables, with mostly kids movies. I put in the details for the Dark Knight release party.

[munch]

This may have been answered, but does Moviestop take Gamestop credit?

[Byramerica]

answer to your question munch is no, they don't accept GS credit. Also, I don't know if anyone else has seen this but I have seen that 4 used DVD trade in for new release info in my MS's preorder listing book towards the back, I'm gonna do this this weekend to pre-order The Dark Knight and I'll remember it for future reference for other pre-orders, it's a nice deal

[Bezerker]

I can confirm that Moviestop does not accept GS credit, which is very unfortunate as I've got over a grand in GS credit right now.

[Byramerica]

Just got back from my MovieStop in Jacksonville, Fl and there are lots of advertisements for that 4 trades get a new release by preorder. Also good is B2G1 free kid's movies, sports, music, and special interest DVD's as well as B3G1 used movies. Also I saw "Trade 4 movies, put that credit towards a pre-order, get extra $5 towards that pre-order."

[Byramerica]

As a heads up and a bump, MovieStop has a flyer I got on Black Friday that has some interesting coupons. The deals are week to week:

12/1 to 12/7: B2G1 All Used Movies
12/8 to 12/14: 50% Extra Credit on all trades
12/15 to 12/21: Free $10 GC w/ purchase > $75
12/22 to 12/28: B1G1 50% off all used Blu-Ray

Some restrictions apply

I just called my closest store and they said they've got B3G1 going on right now. Maybe the B2G1 is a regional/local thing?

It's a coupon as part of that flyer, if your store offers that flyer then you're set

[GTZ_NSR]

Anyone know of any deals (specifically trade-in) going on right now at MS?

[Bezerker]

ive been pulling a lot of 16 hour days at work, so I havent had the time to stop at a MS so i can properly update the thread. I'm working 7a-10p tomorrow and 7a-7p on Saturday, so I probably wont have time to go til Sunday. Hopefully someone else knows of the happenings at MS

[bossman]

I have seemed to stop getting emails from MS :cry:

[kev9228]

Went to a couple of Moviestops today and they are having a big 50% box set sale. Included were various seasons of The Simpsons, The Sopranos, Smallville, and many others. Most of the ones I saw were off Used copies so there were some good deals (and the Director's Club discount adds on top of the 50% off). I got the Complete Series of Seinfeld (with coffee table book and all) for $90.

Here are the shows I remember seeing on sale at a couple Moviestops:
The Simpsons Seasons 1-6 (might be more)
The Sopranos Seasons 1-3 (might be more)
Smallville Seasons 1-6
Laguna Beach
Run's House
Alias (Saw Seasons 2 and 4)
Six Feet Under (Saw Season 1-4)
Dallas (Don't know which seasons)
The Amazing Race Season 1
Complete Series of Seinfeld
Complete Series of Full House
Complete Series of The OC
Complete Series of Miami Vice
Complete Series of Gilmore Girls

And LOTS more I don't remember.

[CocheseUGA]

I have seemed to stop getting emails from MS :cry:

Last thing I got was that they were changing the name to e-play. Don't know if that refers to the whole chain, or just the kiosks.

www.e-play.com

[argyle]

Anyone know of any current trade-in deals they're running, specifically on blu-rays? I have a couple of blu-ray movies I'd like to trade in, but not sure where I'd get the better deal (and my MS is 30 mins away).

[neocisco]

I don't know about any current TI deals but I'd wish they'd run the same trade 4 get 1 free deal on BR's like they do with DVD's.

[GTZ_NSR]

When I passed by a couple of weeks ago they were still doing the trade 4 get a $19.99 title. I don't know the specifics of it though.

[GTZ_NSR]

I went to MovieStop today and I thought I would give you guys an update on current deals. They are still running the Trade 4 Get a $19.99 New Release DVD (or half off the Blu-Ray) deal. They're also currently running a Buy 3 Get 1 Free on used DVDs. Sadly, Blu-Rays are not included. They also had a bin of Clearance movies, but most were disc only and forgettable. That's probably YMMV though. Hope that helps some people.

[hopeunknown]

Sorry to be a n00b to moviestop (we have one in the area now) - so you can trade disc only dvds? i have a couple. are their trading standards like gamestop more or less - ie some scratches okay as long as it plays?

[Byramerica]

Yes, they take single discs, because they have a huge section of those in clear cases at each location. I would suggest they probably drop the price if it's scratched. If you don't have the Director's club card, dang good deal, can get 10% extra credit on trades and 10% off used movies you buy for $15/year, PLUS you get 55 issues of Entertainment Weekly, it's a steal

[Bezerker]

Bump, I added the details of the Easter sale going on til 4/20

[Bezerker]

Just wanted to give a bump since its the last weekend for the Easter sale.

[Gden]

Planning to go to my local moviestop (I use the word local loosely). hope I can get some good anime cheap

[neocisco]

Big ups to the MovieStop in Kennesaw,GA. I had a problem with a preorder and they were able to come up with a solution and fix the situation. I love that store.

[Byramerica]

Not only as a bump, but for those that use MovieStop, this might be of note: My location in Jacksonville, FL no longer takes single discs/discs with no case, this changed as of 9/1/09. Although they added another rack of these for sale afterwards, probably due to high trading demand. Hopefully these will eventually go down, the best quality is usually 3.99 for a disc or 3 for $10. I don't know if this is YMMV or not, but will check it

[Bezerker]

Wow, its been 5 and a half months since I last updated this thread?

Sadly ive only been to moviestop probably 3 times since April, I do plan on hitting one this weekend, so if I find any deals I'll post em here.

To confirm, the whole no disc only policy should be company wide. Now only if gamestop would take the same route...

[bossman]

I don't think this has been mentioned but they have a Facebook page with some of their promotions on it.

Thanks Bossman, I added the pre-order bonuses & the details about the Transformers midnight release to the OP.
