[quote name='doubledown']Apparently there is a glitch at CC where ALL HD/BD are ringing up B1G1 free. It may only be for $29.99 HD-DVD's. Hopefully this is good tomorrow also.[/QUOTE]

Just waiting for the exact details before I bolt out the door.
 
[quote name='rsigley']it's for all hd dvd's 29.99 and under

caught this thread on my way to lunch so checked it out

34.99 the fountain combo didn't work, but i got some 29.99 and 24.99 and they worked

here's a crappy cell phone pic of the receipt

lol that's why i bought those titles

i got there and was like yea cheap HD-DVD's!!

then going through the rack i had all the ones i wanted, so i just bought some random movies i saw in theaters

the only couple i wanted (300, Fountain, Return to the House on Haunted Hill tomorrow) were 34.99 and not eligible

does anyone know if Next is 29.99? Thinking of what to grab with Transformers tomorrow if it still works
 
Awesome. Got my return to house on haunted hill this morning from WMV. Still waiting on Troy Directors cut, both were ordered at the same time end of September...
 
[size=+1]Curse you, Circuit City sale![/size]

Yeah, I went in honestly meaning to only get Transformers and one free movie. Shit happens I guess. Went in, bought four, then went to recruit a friend who just bought the add-on. He bought four himself, and I bought four more.

Plus I got a free hat that I'll probably never wear.

...I'll probably go check one more Circuit City tomorrow. The one I went to this morning had a pretty solid selection so I don't feel the urge to make trips all over the place.
 
[quote name='doubledown']Does anyone know with the CC that you can get TWO of the SAME movie (two transformers)

I know someone who wants one also.[/quote]
Yeah...someone reported getting 2 copies on the HD DVD deals thread.

EDIT: Doubledown...by someone you mean eBay?...;)

thanks circuit city :D

wanna buy more but i dunno when i'll ever watch these

(have an odd number cause picked up one copy of knocked up for a friend)
 
[quote name='guyver2077']so you guys just take any two hd dvd's to the register and say what exactly?[/QUOTE]
Nothing, really. I just brought 4 discs up and said "you guys are running a buy one get one thing on these, right?" She said "I think so" and checked for me. She looked through the ad, I told her I didn't think it was advertised this week. No problems at all though, when they ring up the cashier should see a prompt for the B1G1 deal.

I did have her check on stuff that was $34.99 (ie Hot Fuzz) and pairing it with a $24.99 title, and it didn't work. However, it appears any combination of titles $29.99 and lower will work, whether it's a combo or not is irrelevant; it just so happens that most combos are $34.99 there.
 
Of course a crazy deal has to pop up when I'm broke.

If somebody wants to grab me Next and sit on it until I get the money or trade for some Xbox games, I would really appreciate it.
 
Looks like I'm going to run to Circuit City after work, already got Transformers through Amazon. I hope the deal is at the one I go to.
 
I ended up with Transformers , Terminator 3 , Dawn Of The Dead , & Out Of Sight . for $55 + tax . [they apparently take 1/2 off every one, not lowest price is free]

[quote name='guyver2077']anyone noticing alot of grain in transformers?

i cant stand all this "intended" grain nowadays[/QUOTE]

Noticed in the theater too. It is in most movies. The reason you dont notice it usually in the theater is because you arent sitting as close as you do at home.
 
[quote name='Richlough']Why an odd amount ?

I believe that you can acutally buy odd ammounts. But i also purchased 3 BR Movies so a total of 8

Couldn't resist...wen't back to CC for more...

Harsh Times - (Blind Buy, Never Seen It)
Casino - (Blind Buy, Never Seen It)
12 Monkeys - (Blind Buy, Never Seen It)
Meet The Fockers
Knocked Up - (For A Friend)
Assault On Presinct 13

Of those movies I've never seen...Are they good movies or should I consider returning/exchanging some?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, I found Unleashed HD DVD/DVD combo at Target on clearance for $7.49...it was the only one at the store. I posted this on the HD DVD deals but it got lost quick...

Casino is a great movie. A little long but great. I've always been into downward spiral stories.
12 Monkeys wasn't my cup of tea at all. Watched it, hated it, sold it.

Then again, you should go back to CC and grab Next/The Warriors for poor little Sporadic until he can come up with the money. ;) Japanese Band Of Brothers and Machinist broke my bank. :cry:

Harsh Times was NOT that great....it was worth watching once maybe, but nothing I would ever buy. 12 Monkeys is a odd movie, some love it, some hate it....

I went to pick up Transformers x2 last night at CC, but the line was wrapped around the store and people were NOT moving, I got fed up and left. Hopefully the deal is still going tody...if not, oh well. I generally watch movies once lately anyways
 
i loved harsh times.. picked up day one.. i guess im a bale fan

also microsoft should be promoting the shit out transformers but nothing....

i hope amazon gives us a bogo soon to counter those damn charts

i need to pass by cc and try to get blades...

Liked them all, but 12 Monkeys is a very hit or miss movie. It's a little odd and kinda jumps around storywise if I remember right. Assault on Precinct 13 was ok, but I'm not sure if I'd actually watch it enough to buy it.


The CC deal is apparently dead, they were not ringing up today. Picked up Transformers and Full Metal Jacket anyway. =)
 
Yep, looks like it's dead unfortunately. I didn't go to the same store it worked at yesterday, but I did go to two other CCs about an hour ago and it didn't work at either. Boy am I glad I went Tuesday morning.
 
Just watched Return To House On Haunted Hill. Pretty shitty movie but it's worth a rental just for the novelty of picking what happens.

It was pretty funny how
when I picked to save the map instead of that guy about 40-50 minutes in, everybody ended up shooting each other and then the credits rolled.

Thankfully you can just press chapter back button and you get to pick again.
 
so they still havent fixed these addon issues when using web enabled discs? i constantly have to wipe the memory on the drive to get it to work

What issues? I did it with Transformers and it worked fine.
 
[quote name='LinkinPrime']What issues? I did it with Transformers and it worked fine.[/quote]

occasionally the discs just freeze up when playing web enabled discs... usually you have to go to the dash and delete the hd memory to fix the prob

I've never ran into that issue.
 
really... its been reported alot for web discs like heroes and knocked up....

it is so annoying because i have to wipe out the memory so the disc will play and then i have to redownload stuff etc

I've never run into that. Although last week no HD DVD would play, it would just go black screen, then back to the dashboard. Clearing the cache is the only thing that fixed it.
 
My Transformers disc is doing it now. Locking up on the Web-enabled update screen.

edit -- Deleting the cache got it working again, glad I found an easy fix the first place I looked. It's been a long dang day.

I just had my add on lock up when I was watching heroes. It sucks.

It probably had nothing to do with the add-on drive itself.

Damn you for mentioning this...I got jinxed...Now I get this issue with Transformers...lucky for me I rememembered that you said you had to delete the HD DVD memory for it to work again and it did but damn...this does suck, everytime I load it up I'll have to clear the memory beforehand. :bomb:

i had the same problem last night. I stopped watching Transformers half way through on Tues night and then continued last night. As soon as I fired the disc up, it hung. I didnt know about the cache clearing, so I just restarted my 360 and unplugged the Ethernet and it worked fine that way, bypassing the update (that I had already downloaded.)

I have Knocked Up and Heroes, but Transformers was the first time this happened.
 
yea its been a pain for me.. this has happenned with every web enabled disc for me.... its a pain to have to re login and typing the stupid logins with the controller.. a usb keyboard doesnt even work

it seems to happen randomly or maybe i just havent caught the pattern yet


O and that gps extra on transformers is fucking bad ass... i think paramount stepped up the game for web enabled discs with actually providing some useful stuff
