Look for the prices that are in red & have a line through them

I’d just like to take some time to say that Blockbuster Total Access is fucking awesome for Blu-ray (they don’t carry HD-DVD, though, so you red guys will need to use Netflix or something instead). They ship super fast, too, even on discs where they claim to have “long wait” status.

anyone got pics of their collection?

here’s mine, i just mix my HD And blu ray together


and

i have a couple movies in the mail on the way to me (click, masters of horror vol 4, superbad, bourne ult, simpsons movie, blade runner, close encounters)

i also have about 15 movies pre ordered and paid off for the rest of dec and january (eastern promises, the kingdom, heartbreak kid, the pianist, white noise, white noise 2, invasion, 3:10 to yuma, saw 4, shoot 'em up, war, RE box set, sunshine, pans lab)

and blockbuster online does have HD DVD, just not in stores (except a few)

oh yea i forgot i have 5 free HD DVD’s (tmnt, darkman, aeon flux, the thing, the frighteners) coming to me hopefully eventually from when i upgraded to a-35

The numbers are in for last week’s sales… The Bourne Ultimatum wasn’t as big a deal as we thought it would be in terms of helping HD-DVD sales.

http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/show/Industry_Trends/Disc_Sales/Disc_Sales:_Pirates_Leads_Blu-ray_to_Decisive_Weekly_Win_Over_HD_DVD/1268

Pirates was the biggest help in making Blu-ray account for 76% of high-def media sales that week.

:u: You have that mixed up. Bourne Ultimatum released this week, and Pirates released last week. The Bourne numbers aren’t in yet.

Best Buy BOGO

Ah yeah, right. I lost my sense of time for a sec, I must’ve been high. The Blu-ray releases sucked this week, so it’d be interesting if we somehow came out with winning sales.

NEW Amazon.com BOGO (Looks to be mostly or all FOX movies. First time seeing the Usual Suspects in a BOGO):
http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Ffeature.html%3Fie%3DUTF8%26docId%3D1000177751%26pf%5Frd%5Fm%3DATVPDKIKX0DER%26pf%5Frd%5Fs%3Dright-1%26pf%5Frd%5Fr%3D1Q1KWJ9WS2Q6VA69W2H2%26pf%5Frd%5Ft%3D101%26pf%5Frd%5Fp%3D339189901%26pf%5Frd%5Fi%3D130&tag=inevitboredo-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325

This week’s new releases:

  • December 18, 2007*
    The Simpsons Movie
    Blade Runner
    Terminator 3
    Underdog
    Shakira: Oral Fixation Tour

Some FOX movies not listed on that page are working with the promotion… Edward Scissorhands and The Marine work to name a few.

Sorry, tried The Simpsons Movie & Live Free Die Hard. Both don’t work.

damn wish i didn’t buy the die hard box set now

this is much cheaper and i’d prefer 4 boxes instead of a boxed set

oh well

in for from hell, robocop, the fly, and planet of the apes

devil wears prada also works

i went through every fox release and only those 3

wish mr/mrs smith and cast away were included

or FF: Rise of Silver Surfer - haven’t seen that one yet, tho I hated the first one

or Pathfinder, I wanted that too, but not paying full price for it

guess i can get FF/Smith from Best Buy but they’re over priced + tax = blah

I don’t have a good digital camera, so I can’t take pics of my (small) collection.

Anyway, my Blockbuster videos actually came in today, two days ahead of schedule (one postal service business day), and they were all initially tagged as “long wait” on Thursday night. So, yes, I highly recommend them, except for that disc-right-in-an-envelope thing they do, but I guess they all do that.

40% off Boxed DVD Sets @ Borders, valid 12/18 & 12/19 (You must have a Borders Reward card)

Rumor has it that it works on Boxed Blu-ray sets (Spiderman Trilogy, Harry Potter, Planet Earth, Die Hard). Unfortunately, my Borders doesn’t have them in stock.

Friendly reminder: Last day for Amazon’s FOX/MGM BOGO.

For those of you who want Blu-rays not involved in BOGOs, use coupon code 85721 at Overstock.com for 10% off your order (this also works on video games & game systems). Shipping is 2.95 no matter how much shit you order.

Spiderman Trilogy on Blu-ray came out to be 57.72… not exactly amazing savings, but this is a good deal for those of you who might order a bunch of Blu-rays at once with the code.

rsigley’s mixed collection reminds me of red and blue pills lol.

Picking up Robocop and The Fly. Frys.com had some movies I possibly want too.

you can get blu-rays and HD-DVD’s at the wb online shop and use the coupon DCBM for 25% off.

the first 4 harry potters comes out to $17.21 shipped each.

I stopped buying DVDs back in March because of this god awful format war. Tomorrow however though, I guess I will be finally choosing a side and snagging the snazzy Blade Runner: Final Cut Blu-Ray. I bought a PS3 for MGS4, might as well get some use out of its BR capabilities while I wait.
