DVD Talk Platinum Edition
With the 10% discount and lack of sales tax, Amazon comes in about $1 more than Best Buy. For the convenience and the principle of not paying tax, the extra buck at Amazon doesn't make a bit of difference for me.

Express shipping (5 days I think) EUR18.30 ($24)
The standard shipping (12 days I think) was about half that price. I might could have found a better deal at another site, but I really wanted these on the same order (due to shipping) and amazon had all my info saved (made the french checkout MUCH easier to navigate).
After shipping, this makes them $39 each. Not bad for 2 movies that I really, really love. I wouldnt spend this on many movies.
Ill ebay my 3 disc CE of Brotherhood of the Wolf to contribute to the cost.

Just got back from Best Buy. They have a promotion this weekend on all open box home theater equipment where they will give you 30% of the price back on a gift card. They had 4 OB Samsung BD Players which would have ended up being $560 and $240 for a gift card. YMMV

I remember going to BB about a month or so ago. They told me that an open box would be about the same as a closed one.

You pay a total of $800 and they give you a $240 gift card. If you can find something else for $200 you can also get 0% interest for two years. Well worth spending the extra money and getting another toy.

$800 plus $240 as opposed to $560 plus $240.

Aren't the Samsung BD players already $799.00 to start? If so, then John's $560 claim is accurate. I think he means if you can find something else for an additional $200, then for ~$800 you get 0% interest for 2 years + $240 gift card.

OK there seems to be some confusion with what I was saying (no doubt caused by Best Buy's new method of open box sales). Let me see if I can clear that up.
The Open Box price is the same as the regular price, $799
If you purchase one of these units they will give you 30% back on a gift card, so $240
Best Buy's accounting method for this is to discount the BD player to $560 and then add on the $240 gift card.
I know the open box price sucks, but who here isn't going to spend $240 at Best Buy in the near future?
They are also giving 0% interest for two years on all purchases $999 and up. So on the same purchase if you find an additional $200 on hmoe theater items you can get that instead of the 90 days you would normally receive. Personally, I would rather spend the extra $200 and be able to keep my $1000 invested and building interest for two years than to pay $800 cash up front.
Hope this helps
