Best place to buy movies from? - Blu-ray Forum

shamus · 11-04-2006, 08:13 PM

I've been using DVDpacific for some of my BD purchases lately. The first two came prompt(even a little faster

) but sadly Im still waiting on Unforgiven. It should of arrived Thursday but now that its Saturday I have given up. I have wanted this movie for so long(standard DVD was stolen), and going so far as to wonder if I should buy into HD-DVD (for this, Jaws and the Bourne movies). Needless to say I held out. My question is where do you guys get your movies from??? I dont believe DVDpacific is the problem... I would say its the US Post Office(Some *@*!*^ is wondering why "my" movie isnt playing on his standard DVD player). Maybe Im jumping the gun a little bit and it will come Monday(DVDpacific's policy is its not lost untill 30 days)... but I cant wait, and will be buying it from Best Buy(if it comes later.. thats what our trading thread is for. Right?) So... to those who use the mail, anything ever get "lost"?

AMAZON.COM

Good discount, rapid service. And by using my amazon.com VISA card they send me a $25 gift voucher about every month which pretty much covers the cost of another BD movie.

Yup, amazon.com. Great service, great discounts.

Amazon has super slow shipping...and almost always charges more than Wally World and Target.
www.bestprices.com sometimes also has better pricing.

UPDATE!!!! Guess what came in the mail today? Yep.. Unforgiven. Of course I bought it Saturday from Best Buy. I still have the receipt from BB, can I return the one I got in the mail today to BB? Would they even know?

Factory sealed? No sweat. Just make sure no price tags from the other store are on it.

it's bad to say, but we used to do something like that in college. software companies would hand out free packaged versions of software to us with UPC codes and all. programs like visual studio and the like ($800+ software). we would then go to comp usa and other stores, return it, and go on a shopping spree.

Now that's something completely different!

Normally, like in shamus's case, if it's factory sealed and it's the same product, I really don't see any problem with it myself.

Gotta agree with Amazon. The $79 for their Prime program is well worthwhile IMO.
