Virgin 50% off HD DVD YMMV

[pulsar0510]

Was going to post this in the regional deals, but thought it might go better here: Was in the Times Square Virgin Megastore on Saturday and they have all their HD DVDs @ 50% off. I checked online and the sale is not available there, so as I said in the title: YMMV. The stores regular prices are a bit on the high side, so the deals aren't killer, BUT there were some pretty cool deals available: the best IMHO was the Blade Runner briefcase set for $50. They had about 8 copies of that. No idea if/when they will hit 75%, but if there was something you had to have most titles are $15-20 with the 50% off.

Was it advertised in-store? or did you find out once you went to check out?

Signs all over the place, an extra signed table and stickered merch. Some w/ 50% off, stickers & some with the price (from which they will NOT take an extra 50% off :lol.

Hows the selection? worth the travel time from Brooklyn?

Tough call. They had a lot of stuff, probably 75% of their normal HD DVD stock anyway. There were some gaps in the selection, and as I mentioned their prices even @ 50% off weren't outrageously cheap, but it might be worth the swipe to check it out. I haven't been to the Union Square store; they may be doing it as well.

Cause I hate going to Times Square. Damm tourists walk so damm slow. So if I go there, I want it to be worth my time.

FYI: Union Square is 50% off as well. They seemed to have a little better variety of discs.

Nice. I can easily get to that one without much problems. Thanks!

I went in today. They still had a decent selection. I got the last copy of Blade runner 5 disc version for $20 bucks. They also had the ultimate collectors edition for $50 bucks, with tax it would be 54 bucks. cheaper than Amazon's offering. I ended up getting Blade Runner, The Invasion and American Gangster.
