About done with brick and mortar stores.... - Blu-ray Forum

Blu-dock Saint · 08-30-2007, 12:57 AM

Is it just me or is every B&M store too overpriced (BB/CC), or never updates their stock (wally world).

I went to BB tonight to pick up Warhawk (sold out, they only had 4 copies in.....) so then I was like well I'll get some Blu's, well look at this its all 30-37 bucks....

So then took a lil trip to wally world(also sold out of warhawk) low and behold they havent updated their HD section of movies for about 2 months now.

If these stores want to survive they really need to start cutting down prices and actually stock up more on Blu's.

I enjoy buying from amazon, but are there any other sites out there that sell blu's for cheap? Would save me a lot of gas money and time waisted on overpriced items at the stores, thank you in advance.

Yeah, the B&M stores are way too overpriced. I try to only buy from Amazon.

i'm right there with ya. the closest walmart to me just got BD when Wild Hogs came out and the got TMNT with it. so they have a total of...2, that's it. As for a sale at BB or CC that would make you say,"wow!", don't hold your breath.

I buy from amazon.com as well, though if it is a title I want and can't wait for, I use Price Match at CC they also take off 10% of the difference, and if you go to target.com they have amazon's prices!! so I got Invincible marked at 29.99 at CC for $18

I buy at Bestbuy from time-to-time to spread it around between online and local stores. I also have a problem with impulse purchases.

Use Target.com...it has the same prices

katharsis · 08-30-2007, 01:05 AM

Same here... the local Sam Goody's has like 10 bd movies starting at $29.99 (get some of those 50% cheaper on Amazon) and go all the way up to $34.99 for 300 and Casino Royale!!!

Walmart is not too bad, good pricing, but the selection is just alright... probably around 25-30 different titles, new releases mixed with some older stuff.

Thats more than mine, my wally world has a total of like 8 titles...

Rob71 · 08-30-2007, 01:18 AM

I usually use Amazon. Last week I used Buy.com, they had a decent selection for $15 and if you sign up for Google checkout you get $10 off your order. Also Deepdiscount.com has OK prices.

I think the problem is (here anyway) that everyone competes price-wise with Walmart... not each other. So until Walmart becomes serious about it and starts advertising lower prices, nobody else feels they have to either.
