FYE still best deal in town(Lots of sarcasm here) - Blu-ray Forum

Hypertrophy · 01-15-2010, 02:48 PM

It's no wonder retail media outlets come and go like restaurants in strip malls. They just don' get it...

DetroitSportsFan · 01-15-2010, 02:49 PM

Yeah, that's FYE's pricing strategy.

Man, that's just scary. The FYE in my area advertises their used blus like they are great prices. Even the used ones are usually $5 - $10 dollars more than new at other places.

MaCruz · 01-15-2010, 02:57 PM

No wonder I've never bought a BD from them.

bandit29 · 01-15-2010, 02:59 PM

Wow and I thought Borders was awful..who the **** would pay that?!

tlimof · 01-15-2010, 03:14 PM

The one next to my house, doesn't even price match local competitors... well there's a reason they're going out of biz.

I have the same question. but I bet its people who are lazy and dont search for deals and just buy it right away. I only bought one movie in my collection and it was because I had a fye gift card. LOL.

You'd have been better off selling the card outside FYE and going to Wal-Mart.

There's a reason all the FYE stores near me are all gone.

Tom Hiddleston · 01-15-2010, 03:45 PM

That's why I buy off of Amazon. I'm glad they're going out of business. Good riddance.

MaCruz · 01-15-2010, 03:47 PM

If they ever come out with SteelBooks, I might... just might consider buying from them as long it's not for $50.

I think for the US it will only be Best Buy and Amazon.com that will do Steels.

Yeah I know. Next time if BB comes out with a SteelBook I want. I'll just be on top of it.

There was also a thread at the SteelBook forum where they might make exclusive SB's from FYE, since they make DVD SB's.

I'm guessing this is where all the blu naysayers complaining about the high price of blu-ray are shopping.

mikejet · 01-15-2010, 03:52 PM

What's funny is I used to work for an FYE after high school. Back when they still had Record Town around.

They have released quite a few DVD steels over the years. But it sounds like 2010 might be their last year of business.

Rblu-Dblu · 01-15-2010, 09:24 PM

Now thats a sale!

metalgeargreed · 01-16-2010, 05:19 AM

If $45 is the sale price, what's the regular price? Geez. I've bought one thing from them in the last 5 years. That was a cd no one else had, and it was the very last place I looked.

That's MSRP, what FYE charges for about everything.
