wow, never would have thought tower would have good prices

[brownjon610]

agreed .. thanks for the post

[WiiDSmoker]

i wish there was a way to view the movies by price though

[epp1e]

Sweet, found the Blu-ray of Casshern for a decent price :D

[Scopitone]

Holy hell these are the best prices on Blu Ray I've ever seen! THANK YOU

Thanks for the deal OP... I'm pretty sure the 10 dollars off google c/o is only applicable with buy.com.

[xcoax]

There are also great prices on HD-DVDs too, with many being $15 or lower.

Lots of good deals there, as most of the Blu-rays offered for sale are the typically BOGO ones on amazon.

[tidwell]

I'm in for the Fantastic Four. Only $68.98?!?!?!?!? Score!!!!


j/k...thanks OP, I'm in for some more realistically priced stuff....:)

[shaunLEGEND]

Sweet, found the Blu-ray of Casshern for a decent price :D

I saw this as well and almost don't believe it. I've searched on the net and no one has any record of this existing.

I ordered on the hopes that Tower somehow magically really has it. This is easily one of the movies I most wanted in hd.

[Aleman]

Awesome price on some Buena Vista releases... picked up Ratatoiulle, Remember the Titans (13.99!), and The Prestige. Thanks OP!

[rdwd39]

Thanks OP, picked up Black Hawk Down and Knights Tale both for $27.98. Wasn't goint to do it and then I just went to the checkout screen and saw 2 bd's for less than $30 and had to go for it.

[tysontomko]

thanks for the info

[dg7md]

Going to spend a few hundreds here to complete my wishlist, thanks a ton OP.

[xeno]

wow to many good deals =/

[dg7md]

I splurged and picked up Memento, Underworld, Hellboy, First Blood, Bullitt, The Getaway, The Host, Paprika, The Rock, The Terminator, The Road Warrior, The Devil's Rejects and Enemy of the State. Spent over 200, but they won't get any cheaper than this price new outside of the offshoot chance they'd be apart of a BOGO. They averaged out to be about 18 each, which is a nice price. I wanted these for my library anyway, thanks a ton OP... making me spend so much... At least no tax and free shipping is awesome.

[ehwhoknows]

Has anyone ordered from this site before?

The entry at resellerratings.com looks pretty bad. http://www.resellerratings.com/store/www_tower

If you've ordered please let us know how it goes.

Thanks.

[edson13]

I ordered a bunch of cd's from them over the years, being in california, their stuff almost always came next day.

Thanks.

I'm definitely going to consider whether or not I am going to complete an order.

[dg7md]

Never ordered myself but I'm keeping my order intact, it sucks they charged before they ship the items, but as long as it comes soon I don't really mind.

[NSYNCSUX33]

WOW thanks ehwhoknows, was about to order up 4 blu-rays and after reading those reviews of the site, I decided to hold off. Every review there was as bad as you can get. Good heads up.

[nosferatu51]

I had 5 in my cart as well and then saw those reviews. I don't know if the potential for hassle is worth the $20 or so I'd save over Amazon today. I'll just wait for an Amazon BOGO instead.
Makes sense since Tower went out of biz not long ago. Apparently this is the company that bought up the few remaining assets.

[dg7md]

Granted, the reviews are bad, but there aren't all too many of them anyway.

[y2julio]

Tower used to be a B&M store. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_Records

[ccockerill]

I just ending up placing an order, I really hope that I do get them. I'm sure I should, if there are any problems I'll just have to start knocking heads.

[MCalvert1]

These prices are really all over the price. Look at all the movies that are $50, $60, $70 like Die Hard with a Vengence, Princess Bride, and The Sentinel!

edit:Wait, a lot of these high priced ones are listed twice, also at cheaper prices...

MjC

[tysontomko]

I was about to order too, if anyone has ordered, please update this with your experience

[Aleman]

I ordered a 360 Wireless Racing Wheel for them awhile back when they were supposedly going out of business. No problems.

[lawdood]

lol, dood, you act like it was ancient history.

But anyway, this is NOT the same company that owned Tower before, Tower Records DID go out of business and the website was bought by this crackpot organization based in Canada. From what I've heard and read...STAY AWAY.

I really do long for the old days of Tower's website as their warehouse was based in West Sacramento, about 30 minutes up the freeway from me. I always had 1 or 2 day shipping because of it. It was great when they'd have their online sales.

[Aleman]

Just got an email, all three of my Blu-rays that I ordered yesterday shipped today.

[mywhitenoise]

Just got an email, all three of my Blu-rays that I ordered yesterday shipped today.

Same here.

I'm really running out of blu-rays to own. Are Robocop and Basic Instinct worth their prices (That's how many blu-rays I own, these titles are the very bottom of my wanted list.)?

[Justin42]

I bought the Mission Impossible box from them late last year, besides taking 2-3 days before they shipped media mail (so about 10 days to get to me), I had no complaints. I was nervous as I ordered and THEN saw the reviews but it went ok.

[VipFREAK]

Tower is still around? lol

[xcoax]

I ordered a few days before this post was up as I found it on a different forum. I placed the order on the 18th, and they didn't ship until the 21st. I ordered four HD-DVDs and got four different emails confirming shipping. I chose the free shipping, so it said it would be here in 8-15 days, so if it isn't here sometime next week I'll update you all.

[dg7md]

I ordered last night, and while they instantly charged my card, they already shipped about half of my order of 13 today via media mail. Pretty impressive.

[RyanFrost]

I just placed an order for less than $30:

Rent [Blu-ray]
One Last Thing [Blu-ray]

I'll let you know how my order goes.

[Deadpool]

shit i thought Tower was out of business...

*edit* i should read all the posts first lol

[RConcheiro]

just joined this website today! Thanks a lot man!

[BooSe86]

I placed an order for 3 Bluray/HD-DVD on Thursday and received shipment confirmation emails this morning. I'll keep you all updated.

[jpw21683]

Just got an email, all three of my Blu-rays that I ordered yesterday shipped today.

I ordered four Blu-rays late Thursday night. Three of them shipped yesterday (all except Blade Runner). So I'm not worried.

[xcoax]

Put my order in on the 18th, all four of my movies arrived today. The free shipping came to me media mail from Miami, FL.

Everything arrived correct and complete, so they're legit as far as I'm concerned. Go ahead and order away if you've been on the fence.

[DarkNessBear]

Agreed. I feel more comfortable buying through Amazon.

[Ruined]

They are great so long as the item is in stock and you don't have to return anything. If you do have to return something, you are pretty much fucked as they don't respond to email.

[BooSe86]

They sent me Casshern on DVD rather than BLURAY... now I'm a bit upset.

[peloquin17]

i got all my stuff on saturday.

everything was fine.

[RyanFrost]

I ordered two Blu-rays from them and everything came in fine. No problems here.

[tidwell]

Great. I just got my shipment...and the Lives of Others was standard DVD. Looks like I just got hosed.

i sent the e-mail...but according to the above...it's not looking so good.

[portcityplaya]

They sent me Casshern on DVD rather than BLURAY... now I'm a bit upset.
I was concerned about this as this movie was showing as a Paramount release and Paramount is HD-DVD exclusive and have been since last summer before this DVD was released in America so I was very doubtful that it was on Blu Ray. Also, it wasn't available on Blu Ray on Amazon and that sent up a red flag for me.

yeah, i figured it was worth a try.... oh well...

[shaunLEGEND]

I got Casshern on dvd as well last week and it's already on the way back.

I don't know but my experience hasn't really been bad. I e-mailed them, then later that day I recieved an e-mail with a link to print out a postage paid form.

I'll update if I don't get my money.

[DrNo888]

I guess there's tax for CA residents since this is located in CA. Guess I'll wait for another Amazon B1G1F deal.

[captainfrizo]

Got my order too. The Lives of Others was a standard def DVD, not Blu-Ray. The packing slip even said it was supposed to be the Blu-Ray edition. I'm not too impressed.

[mywhitenoise]

I got my movies in less than a week (Closer, and Edward Scissorhands), I'm pretty happy with my transaction. I might pick up Robocop.

[Filmmaker]

Received FINAL FANTASY: THE SPIRITS WITHIN, HOLLOW MAN: Director's Cut and THE LEGEND OF ZORRO without incident less than a week after I ordered them. Seems legit to me!

[jpw21683]

I ordered four Blu-rays late Thursday night. Three of them shipped yesterday (all except Blade Runner). So I'm not worried.
I ordered four Blu-Rays on 1/24; all were listed as "in stock" on their website. I received emails on 1/26 that three of the items shipped.

I didn't receive a notice about the 4th Blu-Ray shipping until Tues 1/29.

All four of them arrived today (I'm in SW Indiana), shipped in one box. Obviously, all were sent on 1/29, despite what the earlier emails led me to believe.

However, I was in no hurry to receive them, all items are correct, and I got darn good prices on them. I will probably buy more from them in the future.

[tidwell]

Got my order too. The Lives of Others was a standard def DVD, not Blu-Ray. The packing slip even said it was supposed to be the Blu-Ray edition. I'm not too impressed.

Same boat here, man. I e-mailed them and they never wrote back. Today I got the shipping notice for the other half of my order, Kung-Fu Hustle.

That's great... although I already got it in shipment #1 (with reg DVD of TLoO).

Son-of-a.

[ccockerill]

I bought Paprika, Corpse Bride, and Finding Neverland on 1/25 and they shipped on the 28th and I got them yesterday, all in great condition. I live in northern michigan btw.

[captainfrizo]

Same boat here, man. I e-mailed them and they never wrote back.

Same here. I sent them another message today wishing for an exchange or a refund. If I don't hear back in a day or two I'll find a number and call them.

Either way, I think I'm done giving my business to Tower.

[PhiLeingFunkie]

I dont see a number you can call for customer service. Once I have a little more confidence in them im going to buy Donnie Brasco and Pirates 3

[BooSe86]

It took them about 3 days to respond to my email about casshern but they finally did today. Sent me a link to print out a postage-paid return label. Now to see if I actually get my money back.

[powerknowledge]

OK, now I'm very, very nervous; one of the two BDs I ordered (and the only one shipped thus far, after 4 days) was The Lives of Others, which I already have on SD (and was replacing on BD because the price was so great). Looks likely I could now have another copy on SD...GRRRR! I'll have to see, but this isn't encouraging.

Is the link for the return label that some of you have been getting one that is "custom" to your order, or a general form? If the latter, would anyone mind posting the link to save the rest of us the time, frustration, and uncertainty?

[powerknowledge]

Yup: Standard DVD for Lives of Others. The call is in for a return label; we'll see how quick that comes.

Anyone know if they work to send you the right thing, or if you have to reorder?

[PhiLeingFunkie]

Pirates 3 for 15 bucks...whata deal. Too bad their rep is as dependable as my unflushing turd.

[rdwd39]

read back on the other pages, cags have put in order and most have gotten what they ordered, some have not. Personally, I got a confirmation of order, shipment notice, and it arrived in a timely fashion with what I ordered.

[dack]

I ordered Paprika and Underworld a few weeks back. I received them in only 5 days and they came in a nicely packed box.

[ticalmc2k2]

There prices are almost the same as Amazon. I'd just go with them.

[awp]

Liking Tower's price on The Road Warrior HD DVD ($13.99), I just ordered 4 HD DVDs from them prior to reading this thread. Did anyone who got a standard def DVD get their order straightened out or refunded???

Have my fingers crossed that I'll have a successful order like some others did.
