[howwon]

Blade
Blade II **
Blade Trinity **
Fanboys **
Hannibal Rising
Hostage
The Illusionist
Rogue
Seven **
Sin City **

BlockBuster Canada Flyer (see page 6)
Valid: April 6 - 12, 2010

**Future Shop's website already has 5 of the Blu-rays listed on their site and available for ISPU.
I imagine that this will be available at all major retailers.


All ten Blu-rays confirmed at these locations;

$4.99 Best Buy
$5.99 BlockBuster Video
$4.99 Future Shop
$5.00 Wal-Mart

Future Shop jumped the gun and started selling these Blu-rays on the weekend. Most FS stores are sold out already.

flyer says 5.99 - still a good price... will wait and see if future shop has them for 4.99 and likely pick up hostage, illusionist, blade, seven, and fanboys...

i phoned FS to ask about the other $5 titles, they say it varies by region...

so hopefully it wont be limited to those other 5 across Canada

Make sure if anyone wants these that they get there early Monday morning as my store only got 2 copies of each title. And some of these titles we've never had before so we definitely only have the 2.

[ithireeul]

It'll be Mon morning. I've already got the price changes for them.

Isn't Monday a holiday?

[nmycon]

only people working for the government get Monday off...

think it may just be Federal, but not 100% sure

nonetheless, this definitely won't include video store employees

[ithireeul]

Yeah BBV is open every day of the year.

it a holiday here in quebec, not in ontario i think (there is mail in ontario on monday but not in quebec)

i will confirm prices go into effect monday. dont be surprised if you show up to a bbv first thing and there are only half the titles suppose to be there. i went in yesterday at my store and 5 other employees that beat me to the sale items had already claimed ALL the blade movies, seven and the ilusionist. each store is getting 2 copes of each sale title. but i drove to the store down the street from me (where only 1 of the employees own a bluray player) and everything was still available. so it just depends..

Man, i can see a lot of pissed off customers especially if someone comes in bright and early, and there are no copies available. Blockbuster should put aside a certain amount of titles for employees only, plus another amount for the customers, not 2 copies of each title, with employees snatching them all up.

Just came back from a Blockbuster in Burlington. They had the illusionist (which I got) the blades, rouge, fanboys. There were some more as well, in a little yellow cardboard bin that had 'great deals' on the side. They had other blu rays for 9.99-19.99 in the bin as well. Zack and Miri was 16.99

[thecardman23]

yeah..some other noteworthy titles available in this sale are:

Equilibrium $9.99
Buttefly Effect $9.99
Knocked Up $14.99
40 Year Old Virgin $14.99

The blockbuster buzz email lists Apollo 13 as 24.99, which is $5 more than Futureshop

Just got back from my own local blockbuster (after hearing folks were grabbing the cheapies a day early... that flyer said Tues. April 6th) and grabbed the $9.99 Equilibrium (thanks for the heads-up cardman!) and the $5.99 Illusionist. Tacked on a $4 off coupon from my little blue booklet... two blu-rays for $12! Mwahahahahaaaaa!!!

The staff went to the back to grab the box of special blu-rays being discounted (they were shocked to see Equilibrium come up at that price... and even more shocked at Illusionist) and enticed me to grab even more!! I held off though (got Blade II and Fanboys from the Futureshop $4.99 sale). No way in heck was I gonna plunk down for the horror-show that Blade Trinity was (I mean that in a BAD way... I still feel horrible for Wesley Snipes getting shafted in that one), and I already got stung on the crappy pan-scan ratio transfer on the first Blade when I bought it at full price about 6 months ago. Hoping for a better visual experience with Blade II.

HOWEVER... there were a couple others not listed on this site that were decent prices... either $15.99 or $16.99 including The Patriot (Mel Gibson). If you haven't yet... git down to your nearest Blockbuster before they're gone!
