Glad to hear this has been extended, have a gift card burning a hole in my pocket. Time for Prometheus & something else.

Went to the only local Blockbuster near here and the selection was meh. All the stuff I would be interested in I already bought on release day.

So happy I stopped by. Picked up Star Wars episodes I-VI for about 20 bucks

Me too! Took about 3 different locations, but I was able to complete the set.

They should ave started to switch over to becoming a Gamestop and a Radio Shack or Best Buy Mobile in one type of store 15 years ago. For the life of me I don't know why Dish bothered buying them.

His store isn't closing. He will continue to manage that same store after this round of closings, and will still be accountable for his actions.

Anyway, I decided to stop in after work today to get Moonrise Kingdom. I'm glad I did because they added copies of The Pirates: Band of Misfits to the shelves. I got both movies on blu ray for $13. As for that copy of Fantasia, it was still listed as all four discs and was still on the shelves with the blu rays.

It will be a sad day when bb is no more loved them late 80's until netflix hit big. I had so many good memories and a couple real bad ones haha evil drop box ate my movie in 90's and had to pay for lost vhs...

New Egg has a pack of 25 Verbatim Blu-Ray cases for $11.59 and $4.99 shipping if you're not a Shoprunner member. I bought a pack last week and they're fine. I've also bought from sellers on Amazon and eBay with comparable prices in the past. Look for products by Square Deal Recordings and Supplies. They sell single disc cases in packs as small as 5, and also have 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 disc BD cases. I need to pick up a few 2-disc cases actually.

My BD haul at BB was The Sitter, Spider-Man 3, Beetlejuice and Ghost Rider 2 for $20. Since it's been extended I might go back.

When does this sale end? i saw someone mentioned its been extended?

I just got off the phone with my local store which is closing and going to stop renting around Feb. 10, close for a day or two then start the final clearance. They said it was extended indefinitely. I don't know if they're doing it until the doors close for good or not, but I think at least another week is a safe bet.

The one near me(KC MO, on 64th and 29) is closing its doors on March 3. They have a sale going now similar to all that's been posted already, with tables of DVD's in paper sleeves for 99cents. All the stuff that has cases is still on the shelves and was priced at $9.99. Each Monday between now and closing time, they are marking all down even further(20% or something each week). Unfortuantely the games aren't included with the sale.

Jelly! I need Star Wars and Empire, if you guys find extra's, PM me. Picked up Jedi already, man that CGI crap in Jabba's palace is still just beyond ridiculous, good lord.

Sucked you can't buy just those discs individually or the Raiders series one by one either.

I was 8 years old in 1997 when the re-releases started coming out. I had been watching the Star Wars trilogy over and over and over since I was a couple months old.

Even at 8 years old, my reaction to that scene was something like "What the heck was the point of that?" It seemed like they were just desperately trying to find something they could add.

The sign said the BOGO sale is through 2/4 now.

Now that Disney's driving the Star Wars cashmobile, I'm almost 99% sure they'll release the original theatrical versions of all the films on Bluray at some point. More than likely when we're closer to seeing Episode VII in theaters.

Disney doesn't have the rights to the first 6 films, those stayed with Fox. Fox might do that to cash in though.

Well I stopped in today and picked up Men In Black 3 and Hunger Games for myself, then I found Kung Fu Panda 1 and Kung Fu Panda 2 which i bought for my son, for his birthday. Total cost was 18 dollars even since they didnt ring up buy 1 get 1 even though signs were up so he did a credit and since he did the credit took tax off. Not a bad deal at all

Well, like with U&S, went a little crazy:

90% of the above had flawless cover art and included bonus features on the disc. The ones I know were rental exclusives were Conan (no features) and the Time Traveler's Wife (marked rental). Of the above, was able to get about 16 pristine blu-ray cases by asking nicely.

Edit: $216.10 for 46 movies = $4.70/movie. I need help.

I believe/hope/pray/dream the same thing. I still like many parts of the special editions. I'd just like to have the option of watching the theatrical. I would probably switch off between the two on viewings. Like I would watch theatrical, then special, then theatrical, and so on.

Furthermore, I'm a huge cheap ass extreme couponing motherer, but I would drop at least another $49.99 on the theatrical bluray trilogy. I'd drop another $99.99 on the 3D bluray trilogies because I like dumb 3d shyte.

Disney makes the best blurays in my opinion (Criterion is good too). But I have faith Disney would make it work the price for a double dip or triple dip.

As another poster said, Fox owns the rights to Episodes I-VI, so Disney would need to buy them out. I do believe they now own the various TV shows though.
