I'm not paying an extra $5 for a figure, so $10 is the perfect price. Thanks!

Does anybody know if the Blu-Ray 3 pack for Body of Lies/Edge of Darkness/Pride and Glory has the bonus features?

I ask because I really am interested in Body of Lies; the commentaries are exclusive to Blu-Ray.

The Sony Savestation changes out Sunday 5/5. Some of the ones I've seen that may end up there are a lot of the Resident Evil blus, In the Land of Blood and Honey, Les Miserables, Sparkle, Snatch, A Knight's Tale, Memorial Day, The Way Back, A Dangerous Method, Zombieland, some of the Underworlds, The Patriot, Fifth Element, etc. Also I believe the movie feature wall side that is $9.99 is getting some new titles, but haven't seen what yet.

What makes the question quick? Do you think you're more likely to get an answer by saying it is a quick question?

A "quick question" is an expression used which usually means answering it won't take much time. And in this case, the question was answered just a few posts later. And that was 30+ posts ago. I should ask you a quick question. What's the point in bringing it up now? Seems like petty criticism to me.

Speaking on the Eyes Wide Shut Blu-Ray, is there a better version with more special features out there? The blu-ray I saw at BB wasn't packed and I know the director is kind of a big deal, so anyone know?

I don't think my store even has a savestation display anymore, since they re-arranged the movies section to make room for the Samsung crap.

Same (and only) US release on blu-ray is the same whether sold separately or in the Kubrick collection. I have the US DVD release as well, and the blu-ray has more special features than the DVD.

The difference is that the US blu-ray is the uncensored international version vs the DVD being the US edited one.

10 looks and sounds great, but ...
7 is interesting from a filmmaking perspective... how they bridge the two series, as you say, but it's not particularly a good movie. I thought 9 had some clever moments but I've had no need to revisit it. I choose to forget 10 happened.

They should be the same exact discs as the single releases. As long as none of them had 2 discs, they should contain all the bonus features.

I've never done it myself, but I think you go to the customer service desk or something and basically have a Best Buy employee order a disc off their kiosk, shipped to your house. It's basically a way of getting around the little inventory that most Best Buys carry these days. Coupons are not supposed to apply to Express Lane orders, but some have duped employees into using them on these orders.

Found a copy of Dick Tracy on blu which I had been looking for. $12.99 w/slipcover after U&S sounds good to me.

I know what you mean, my store wiped out the entire Hot Price Movie setup, and previously the other movie wall as well. Should be able to find those titles inline though, as well.

I often wonder why there's hardly any awesome films released when they do these sales. Corporate greed really sucks.

1. Define "awesome films."

B. Do you think that there's been nothing released during this sale?

Re: Best Buy Upgrade & Save 4/21/13 - 5/11/13

My haul today:

Shutter Island
The Collector
Star Trek (Chris Pine)

$16.xx

They stapled 3 coupons to my receipt and gave it to me. They have never stapled the coupons to my receipt before. Is that a mistake? Can I use those? They didn't write on them or anything.

The local ones here always staple the coupons to the receipt, but the last couple U&S events have went to one coupon stapled with the number of uses written on it (ie. x5). I believe it stems from the fine print that your supposed to show the receipt with the coupons (although I've read some stores don't enforce that).

Unless your saying you traded in 3 DVDs and used those coupons, but then they gave you back the coupons and stapled them to your receipt? I would guess in that case you could use those 3 again. I've had stores not change the x5, and was able to use them again.
