Picked up Tron 20th Anniversary SE for $10 and the movie ticket, which was worth $12. Enough to see it in IMAX 3D for free at matinee prices.

nice shrike! I think I do need Tron for the collection..
and are you sure about that Imax pricing? round here, Imax is flat out about $18.50 regardless of the time of day..sure is nice for you!
and might as well get this in now, but I want to see this Alice In Wonderland so bad, but everyone in the family thinks it will not be good for my 4 year old. I see Disney, PG rating, classic tale..but they all see dark and scary Tim Burton. My logic is his movies have gone from great or extreme scale, to mild and family friendly (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)..so this can't be that bad? Disney wouldn't back it if they knew they couldn't draw everyone in..

Imax in 3D is $15 around here... So I figure I should buy 2 of these to get these tickets!
[quote name='SuperJedi']ONLY SD DVDs NO Blu-rays I don't think[/QUOTE]
Wow, that's seriously lame. You'd think that when they're trying to push people to adopt blu-ray, they'd take any promotional opportunity they can get to sell them.
Hm . . . this is going to be a tough call for me, as I don't really want to buy any more standard DVDs than I have to at this point. Tron would be almost tempting, but I'm betting we'll see a blu-ray release to coincide with the release of Tron Legacy. Still, I know that we're definitely going to this film, so if the DVDs are cheaper than movie tickets, I guess it's probably worth it.

The 20th anniversary SE got good marks from DVDTalk, so it made sense to pick that up.
My local theatre has IMAX matinee pricing at $10.25 for my local theatore, so the ticket money covers me with $1.75 to go.
And if you have a 4 year old, I don't think this would be the movie for him to see in the theater, being a Tim Burton movie. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a bit tamer than this, IMO, though you might want to think twice about it.
These days, I'm only trekking off to the movies if it's a movie that is in 3D, IMAX, both, or is our D-BOX equipped theatre and it's worth spending the extra money for the D-Box pricing (add'l $8).

[quote name='flameofdoom666']So if you are going to see the movie, you mind as well get a free DVD out of it. Sweet deal.[/QUOTE]That was my logic on a $9.99 movie + tax for a $12 voucher towards a $10.25 movie.

Yeah, that's probably what it'll come down to for me (actually, it's even cheaper than the movie ticket, which will be at least $12 here, and therefore is what really makes it worthwhile), but I don't really need or want to be adding more plastic to my collection that I have to store.

Eh, I'd almost agree, but the way I look at it is that it's $10 for a movie ticket that's normally $12 (so essentially 17% off), making the DVD an essentially free bonus. I certainly wouldn't bother if I weren't going to see the movie otherwise, but since the girlfriend has already informed me that we're seeing it (and realistically I'd probably end up going anyway), might as well . . .

I haven't actually seen the offer yet, but based on what I've seen with past offers like this it's worth keeping in mind that this is probably limited to certain theaters or theater chains. Therefore, if you know you want to see it in a specific format like IMAX, it might be worth checking to make sure that your theater is covered first. Here in the DC area, for example, I suspect that this will probably work with the AMC IMAX theaters in Columbia and Alexandria, but most likely will not work with the Smithsonian IMAX theaters in DC and Dulles (if they even get the movie -- I don't think they ever did get Avatar).
If anyone has the URL that lists the eligible theaters and can post it, it would be appreciated.

It appears they did a double-shrinkwrap job on my copy of Tron, for those that were wondering.
You can remove the outer level of shrinkwrap and get access to the movie ticket redemption code, and then resell the movie on CL/Amazon/Ebay/whatever.
Amazon gives $4.50 for the trade-in of Tron, BTW.

[quote name='GenPirate']Do you get 1 ticket per dvd?[/QUOTE]In theory, yes.
You get a code that you enter into a website that produces a one-time use credit card number for the theatre to use to purchase the ticket(s). They're worth $12 each, so if you had three of them and tickets were $8, I think you would be able to buy four tickets with them.
Terms are spelled out on the printed certificate.

yeah, but don't expect any money back from unused ticket money! anything in the terms about 1 ticket voucher per customer? I can see that being a main stipulation..i wonder if it is the same as the sherlock holmes promo company (which sucked b/c it has very limited theatres to chose from)? I redeemed that one, but to totally go see another movie :lol:

Looks like it does say that it's for a single admission, so it's one cert per movie.
And it state clearly that any unused money isn't refundable.
Yes, it's the same promotion company that is running this one. They've run most of the past promotions over the last couple of years.

I'm guessing this deal is B&M only? The nearest Best Buy to me is about an hour away.
[quote name='GenPirate']Is this deal still going on? My brother wants to go see this with a bunch of friends so I am going to try and get him a couple free tickets.[/QUOTE]
As long as you find a DVD with the coupon sticker on the front, you're good to go. The movies may no longer be on sale, but they're still available.
On a side note -- anyone redeem the "child admission ticket" yet? Is it clearly only for child tickets or up to $8 towards any ticket?
