Thanks Sabrett for the find. I just got back from the Palo Alto, California, BlockBusters at 3990 El Camino Real and asked for the Trilogy since I could
not find it. She showed me the display up with the Trilogy as well as single editions of Saw. The clerk rang it up for me and told me that it would be $38.00, and I just smiled and waited. The cash register then began to magically discount first 10.00, then the 6, then other amounts and finally settled down with $19.47 after tax. The clerks eyes bugged out of her head and she said "that's a really good deal." I just smiled that DVD Talk secret smile and walked out with my swag. Something is definitely not working right with the computer registers at BlockBusters. They had 4 more copies on display as of 2 pm today. So go for it and thanks again for the tip.

Day-um...that means you got more of a discount than the rest of us! Do the separate instant coupons show on your receipt? How much were each?

Last communications update I read said the Saw movies were going to be promoted at 6.99 each. We have the display in our back room, I just haven't really opened it up to look yet. Our back room is crowded enough as it is.
Cleaning time for me tonight though.. joy joy.

Here's the break down from my receipt at the Palo Alto Block Buster. Saw Trilogy $34.98, minus $10 Credit, minus 6.99 coupon equals $17.99 plus $1.48 tax equals total of $19.47. Great Deal.
If the individual copies are going to be sold for $6.99, that would be a super deal for those of you trying to complete your collection.

Please post when you find out more details. I doubt if the new 2 disc Saw III is part of that deal but anything's possible. Thanks.

According to Mister Peepers, it is, though I haven't verified personally.

Did you happen to have 10 dollars in store credit on your account?

Hit two Blockbusters. First one had the display in behind the counter and I asked if I could get one of the box sets. She went to get one but the manager said they couldn't sell them til Tuesday the 23. So I left and headed to the next one right down the street. Walked right in and sure enough the display was up right when I walked in along with all the directors cuts for all the Saw films for $6.99. Got the box set, marked $27.99, it rang up $37.99. Clerk said oh thats wrong, called the manager, overrode the price down to $27.99, then the $6.99 rebate came up. He looked and said damm thats a good deal would you go and get one off the display for me. So the deal is still working guys, just you may have to hunt for it. And yes the Saw 3 directors cut was marked $6.99.

No, I did not have any credit with Block Buster. I did not show my BlockBuster card for this deal, nor was I asked to. I noted from other posts as well that the Trilogy is originally priced anywhere between 34.98 to 38.98 and they are offering a 10 dollar discount to promote it for 28.98 with an additional secret 6 dollar coupon that most clerks are suprised to see pop up as well. I have noted that there appears to be a lot of price confusion with this set at the stores as well as release day confusion. My Palo Alto store had no signs or prices on the sets, but it rang up as $34.98 minus the standard 10 dollars off for this sale period, plus an extra 6 dollars off that has most of us all excited for a walk out the door price after tax of 19.47

Forgive me if I missed it in the thread, but are these 6 discs the same as the individual releases?

Yes, they are the second release 2-disc sets including the forthcoming Director's cut of Saw III.

Okay, on the our box in the back it says release date Friday 10/19. Also, I took one of our box sets up and scanned it to a non member account. It rang up 37.99 then the 6.99 discount popped up. I don't know where you guys are finding the 21.99 but my store is sadly not going to be one of them.... Anyone want to pick one up for me

Thanks, since these have already and will be in the $5 bins, I think I'll wait then.

If it had something exclusive to this trilogy, I might have picked it up.

AG, try another Blockbuster! - the Blockbuster store that is located in the BJ's plaza in Tonawanda, NY has it for $27.99 before tax/discount so with the discount its $21.99 before tax. (They have a stand set up right where you enter with the SAW 3-pack plus SAW III 2 Disc Directors Cut-that is being sold for $6.99.) So there you can save $6-$7!

LB...

Thanks for the heads-up.

I went to my local BBV this morning and I was able to score a copy. They didn't have any on the shelves, but they grabbed a copy out of the back for me.

And to the previous poster, the only copies of Saw I've personally seen in the $5 bin were the rated single-disc edition.

I bough Saw I 2 Disc Uncut for $3.99 and just picked up Saw II (first release) for $4, but if I could have got it for $21 I would have.

I just saw the Future Shop add and they are calling it an 'exclusive', they are asking $37 for it, too rich for my blood.

target had the 2-disc saw ii on sale for like 7.50 a few weeks ago. and i recall seeing the saw 2-disc for like 6.99 during a sale at best buy a while back i believe. never seen either in a $5 bin, but they have been going for pretty cheap if you don't mind waiting. you don't get that cool packaging though.

One BB (out of 4) near me had the Saw display up. Unfortunately, the individual Saws were the one disc versions and they were priced at $7.99.

The futureshop one looks identical to this one when you take the plastic shell off. It's a slip case with the mask sticking out

I was abe to get in on the deal at one of the Blockbusters in Colorado Springs. The stickers on the Trilogy box were for 27.99, but rang up for 34.99. The cashier started getting frustrated that there was a price difference, and called his manager over to let him know that all of the Saw Trilogy boxes would have to be restickered with the 34.99 price tag.

I was able to get the set for 20.06 after the instant coupon and a 10 dollar credit since there was a price difference between the sticker and computer. As I was leaving the cashier was already restickering the box sets, so if you want to get in on the lower price, I would definitley check out your local Blockbuster soon.
