Has anyone tried getting the Incredible Hulk (Edward Norton one)? There are two on BestBuy.com, but they have different SKUs and the one with the green eco-case and digital copy is 14.99 while the other without is 9.99.

I meant to get it last time this promo was up, and I'll be kicking myself in the head if i dont get it for $5 :whistle2:#
 
When i went up to the service desk, i put my 5 dvds on the counter and said i would like to trade them in. The guy literally pushed the dvds aside, typed something into the computer and gave me one coupon with a receipt for 5 dvd trade ins. Never once even remotely pretended to look at the dvds. Hoping i don't have issues using the coupon 5 times now since he said to just have them scan it 5 times.....Have receipt with it just case....

[quote name='farva2']so damn bummed this ends like 3 days before the grey and chronicle come out.[/QUOTE]

coupons are good til may 12th.

The lady was pretty annoying when i tried to get crazy stupid love because i grabbed the 3pack one and didnt check the back of the dvds just the cover art. Got 4 Blus. Good Deal. Idk if im going back tho.
 
[quote name='GundamFan']Ugh so many blu's that I want to get! I think I have an addiction to buying really cheap blu-rays...[/QUOTE]

i feel the same way bro. just got a PS3 a couple weeks ago, so i'm starting to build up my blu ray collection. i have about 23 blu rays now. but haven't spent over 10 dollars on a single blu ray yet. Buying through Amazon and having Prime has helped a lot.

I have 1099 Blu-Rays, you can never have enough!!!! This sale didn't help though, I've picked up around 20ish titles with in the last few days.
 
Question, in the ad is shows some movies that come with 10 dollars in movie cash? is the movie cash for any movie in theater or a specific title?

It's for the movie "The ten year engagement"

I have an old pic from last year, just scroll to the bottom. I think I had close to or around 800 in that photo.

Me and a couple other people have been trying to keep this updated:

The ad is talking about Jason Segal's newest, Five Year Engagement, but they've also got ones for American Pie and Safe (though Safe's are $7.99 and not eligible for U&S).
 
Oh, and I grabbed Forgetting Sarah Marshall and with the U&S:

Batman Begins $5
Forrest Gump 2-disc $5
Knocked Up BR+DVD+DC $8
40 Year Old Virgin BR+DVD+DC $8
Dawn of the Dead (2004) BR+DVD+DC $5
 
The Last Starfighter oddly has a BD+DVD combo in the wild now, which is an incredible steal for $5. Pisses me off that they stock so few movies, as half the items I went in looking for aren't even available at the store and online only.
 
Not sure if YMMV, but the manager at the store I went to said I could do pickup in store and he would apply the coupons at customer service.

Now that's service right there. If only the BBs I go to had a manager like that.

When I did a return/re-purchase, they just did $5 pricematches on all of them rather then re-ring it. CS has been far more helpful lately and I have to wonder if corporate is loosening the noose now that their higher-ups are gone.

They don't even care if the DVD is in the case, because every time I've done this promo they just take the case and toss it aside only stopping to count how many.

Man, I suppose if I ever feel like I collect too much stuff, I can just remember you and feel better about myself :p

I need to take a pic of my stuff. My PS3 game collection is posted somewhere...

Let Me In is online only according to website. :( def would get at $5!

You should check your stores anyway, I've seen it in stores recently.
 
Lots of Marvel animation in-stock at Best Buy that I didn't notice last week. In addition to the recent straight-to-video releases, I saw the 90s Iron Man, X-Men and Fantastic Four.

A lot of these were at or around Amazon's prices (~$20 for the 90s series).

These can probably be found for cheaper if you're patient.
 
[quote name='oldboy26']Let Me In is online only according to website. :( def would get at $5![/QUOTE]
Sometimes when the website says its not available in stores that's because there are less than 2 copies in stock at the store. It's a 50/50 gamble though.

Not true. I saw a few things at my store that was unavailable online, yet had 3 or 4 copies available.

mainly because Amazon matched BB's pricing
 
In case anyone was wondering. I did a pricematch of "The Innkeepers" to $13.96 and tried to use a $5 off coupon, even though the manager mentioned that it wouldn't work. I asked if we could try it and he said sure. So the cashier tried it and sure enough it didn't work. I was able to use 2 out of 3 coupons but the third coupon didn't apply to the price matched item. I thanked the manager for allowing me to try and gave them my business by purchasing "The Innkeepers" anyways. After the manager left the cashier gave me my coupons back and cheerfully said "You can have them back."

I didn't say unavailable online. I said when it shows that its unavailable in store online then it's because there are less than 2 copies in stock at the store.

Same thing happened with nearly all the older seasons of supernatural and half the movies I purchased. Best to just make a list of all the movies you are interested in purchasing, regardless of the stock status on the website, and wander around checking to see if they have it in stock, making sure to check end caps and displays near the front of the store.
 
Did straight upgrades of Monty Python, Gladiator, and Good Will Hunting, and picked up Forrest Gump (finally) and Justified S2. It was actually almost hard finding 5 total to dump. I even blew through the online sale selection to see if any others I own worth worth upgrading.

Just curious why was MI4 $17 for you, with the coupon I got MI 4 for $15 since BB edition is still on sale for $20

Looks like you have enough to open a video rental store. Lol
 
[quote name='TerpsJunkie']You can try doing instore pickup and then using the coupon.[/QUOTE]If you don't mind doing a return-and-rebuy, of course.

They would have to return the BB.com order and then ring it up as a in-store purchase, which means a second charge to your card.
