Pretty much all of this weeks fliers are advertising a "low price" for the SW trilogy. I'm guessing a last minute price war will be erupting, and thought it'd be nice to have a resource to compare what the actual off the shelf prices are. Post them here once you get some first hand confirmation. Cheapasses unite so we can all get the best deal!

Best Buy should be $42.99
Target was $44.99 I believe
CompUSA was $39.99

I'm buying mine for $49.99 at Suncoast. That way I get some points on my card, plus I don't think $50 is asking too much for a trilogy like this. :D

Not to be mean or anything, this is just a question, but do you work for deepdiscountdvd or something??
This has got to be a really good site for dvd's or you get a kick back from every sell you send their way. :P If not the latter then you should, but I haven't tried them but I just might.

EDIT: Dangit, Wshakspear kinda beat me to the punch.

Might want to check out Toy's R us I heard they have a deal for like 41.99 and like 10.00 store credit for Each of the DVD's Trilogy and the XBOX Game so if you bought both you got 20-30 back in store credit. Save it up for October 27th when they have the 3 for 2 sales...

Those of you that still have the 20% DVD coupon from the Madden coupon Books at Best Buy could get the set for around $32 from Best Buy.

Best Buy price = $42.99
Price match to $39.99 from Comp USA + 20% Madden coupon = $32

My Best Buy's all still have a bunch of those Madden coupon books sitting on the shelves so you could just go into the store and grab a coupon off the rack to use.

I believe the Toys R Us was $49.99 for the DVD trilogy and the Battlefront game. However, you get a $10 Gift Card for either purchase...so you could get $20 back.

Also, DeepDiscountDVD.com is a great E-TAILER. They have free shipping and are usually the lowest price out there. I've used them numerous times.

Also, If you still have the Madden 20% off coupon from Best Buy, that could be the best deal if they accept it.

I work at WalMart. Tomorrow morning I'll be calling CC,BB and Target to find the cheapest price then we will beat it,BY MORE THAN .04. If there are alot of competitors around your local WalMart try them after around 10 AM.

I was at my local Wal-Mart today (the flood water receded enough so we could get out there). They had places marked for the DVD set. The price was $47.82 or something close to that.

I traded in 2 of my CC $5 games (Zoo Cube - awful and Haunted Mansion) for $25.50 in credit to FYE. Then I used the credit to buy a $30 gift card (added $4.50) which got me a free $5 card.

I traded in another Haunted Mansion for $15 more in credit . . .

So, after rebate, I will have gotten the Trilogy for $20 ($5 and 3 CC games).

Yea, Im about to shell out 1000 for a new paint job and some misc work. I spent 400 last week for a new distrubtor and upgraded fuel pump. I already got a swap and I/H/E so this should get me out of the whole

FYE has two specials you can combine to get an awesome price. First, they have a buy a $50 gift card, get a $10 one. Then, they have a $15 mail in rebate. Use the gift cards to buy the trilogy (which was $53, including tax). Then mail in the rebate. Total cost - $35, plus a gift card worth around $7 (more or less, depending on your state's sales tax). Oh yeah, you also get a free poster. Only problem is that it usually takes 6-8 weeks for your rebate check to arrive. Probably the best deal I've seen. Coconuts has it for $30 AR, which is also good, if you have one near you.

Hey TRU will price match so get them to price match the CompUSA $39.99 and maybe you will still get the free $10 giftcard which makes it $30. Be sure to bring the CompUSA weekly ad or they won't give you the discount.

Thats our everyday price,we will mark it down the first week of release to whatever the lowest local competitor has it at. Minus a few cents,eg. if Target has it at 39.99 we will market it to 39.87. :wink:

Thanks for posting the Target price. It looks like a price around $39.99 will be what everyone will sell it at by today. Anyone go to the BestBuy Midnight selling of Trilogy? Just wondering if there is a confirmed Best Buy price?

Well, I'm going today on my lunch hour to Best Buy....if they let me use the Madden coupon, I'll just pick it up there. If not, TRU is right down the street...so I could get it there with the $10 Gift Card.

Just thought i'd come check in after ESB (doing a movie marathon). I went to Best Buy last night at midnight (mine didnt have cool prizes), and it was $43.00. I also got the box set of hte new soundtrack for $33 with my employee discount. /cheer.

same here - the cashier about wet himself when the coupon worked.
he scanned it and said "it probably won't work since the set is on sale for $42.99." But, behold! The coupon worked! :lol: 8)

I doubt it...search in the gaming section at Best Buy. They will say Madden 2005 Coupon Book (or something to that wording)

It's a small square coupon book with about 50 or so coupons in it.....mostly for games.

I hit up Toys R Us during my lunch break - price was $49.99 with a free $10 gift card for both the trilogy and the game. Not the best deal out there but I gave the $20 gift cards to the girlfriend and she didn't give me shit about spending $100 on Star Wars stuff.

I'm thinking that what they might be doing is checking for the lowest price in the area and beating it by $0.12 or so. Theres a Fry's here in austin that has it for $36.99 so thats probably why my wal-mart has em at 36.87.

CAGs in the San Fernando Valley can also go to the Wal-Mart in Porter Ranch today where they have the Star Wars DVD set for $36.96. It's a sale price to beat the Fry's one-day sale price of $36.99 (yeah, they beat it by 3 cents...), so Wal-Mart's sale is also only valid for today only. There were still about 20 widescreen sets left, and more fullscreen sets than you can count.

By the way, the Toys R Us in the same plaza refused to pricematch Fry's ("That store is a discounter -- we don't pricematch discounters." I thought I read somewhere that Toys R Us itself is classified as a discounter store) and they will not give the $10 gift card if you pricematch another store.

Went to Walmart to pick up the trilogy after work. All they had were 2 fullscreen editions for 47 bucks. Wanted the widescreen so I decided to go next door to Kmart. Bingo :) They had em for $39.99.

Best Buy matched Fry's price of $36.99 and they had an exclusive Star Wars insider magazine with some cool articles and great artwork/pictures inside. Plus I got some points on my Best Buy reward zone card. It wasn't a Toys R Us $10 gift card but the manager at TRU was being a jerk about price matching Fry's. I told him to Shove it up his Donkey's behind and went over to Best Buy where they were at least pleasant about it....Also while I was at Best Buy I picked up Freedom Fighters for XBOX for $4.99 and Arx Fatalis for XBOX for $9.99. Now I am glad I went to Best Buy because I was really surprised to see those game deals there...FU-TRU

Walmart in Vallejo, CA $42.87
Best price so far in this town. Target was $44.xx

I will probably end up getting it at TRU for the giftcard,... since I'm buyinbg something fullprice this week anyway, that drops my Star Wars price to $30 + tax effectively. That is, if TRU gets Katamanwhatthehell Damacy in.

Your lucky, I went to my TRU and they know about the Compusa price. The manager said he would price match Compusa's $39.99 price but wouldn't give me the $10 gift card :( On the coupon it states "Not valid with any other 'R'US offer for same item. I think this covers price match from a competitor. So you guys are lucky.

Anyway, I bought it at CircuitCity with the pricematch and it brought it down to $39.50. Hey, every cent counts. Also found Mark of Kri for $5.
