Where do you buy from most? - Blu-ray Forum

Sussudio · 10-28-2008, 07:03 PM

Do most people use Amazon or online retailers, only in-store, or just wherever the best deal is? Anyone have a personal favorite store or buy from any places and haven't had great experiences?

Blu-Benny · 10-28-2008, 07:12 PM

i get most of mine from Best Buy.

have gotten 8 from this site.

have gotten 7 from ebay.

i personally like to get the movie myself and be able to watch it that night if i want to. i really hate waiting for a movie to show up in the mail.

Amazon has accounted for 90% of my purchases.

Sussudio · 10-28-2008, 07:14 PM

woops, just realized Walmart was spelled incorrectly on the poll. oh well.

walmart never again. they refused to match best buy's price on the hulk last week.

Ever since we got taxed on Amazon here in NY, I've found with some patience I'm able to get good deals on ebay and on the trade thread on this site. So I don't think I'll be renewing my Amazon Prime when it's up.

El Negro · 10-28-2008, 07:21 PM

I go to BB just because it's 5 mins from home.

Steve · 01-31-2009, 08:33 PM

I usually go wherever has the best price I can find. I've bought several from Movie Stop, which is not on the poll, but I have one just down the road from me. Then there's BB, Wal-Mart, Ebay and the forum here.

That's Ok. I've heard a few people who really pronounce it the way it's spelled on the poll.

Best Buy is overpriced, at least in my city.

bigpapy · 10-28-2008, 07:48 PM

I got 70% of my collection from Frys and the rest from BB,Target,Amazon,WM & CC

Rovic · 10-28-2008, 08:15 PM

Most of mine have come out of either amazon, & frys...I would say about:
50% Amazon
47% Fry's
3% BestBuy

Psychonaut · 10-28-2008, 08:17 PM

Mostly Amazon as well. I use the "new and used" feature quite a bit when the prices drop. If I have to have it that day, I'll go to Best Buy and get it.

Dotpattern · 10-29-2008, 02:32 AM

I was buying from Best Buy most often, but when I realized I didn't "have" to have my movies on the day of release I started using Amazon.

PVJAG · 10-29-2008, 02:45 AM

AMAZON!!

Sometimes ebay, but I you can't beat Amazon's customer service.

wormraper · 10-28-2008, 08:19 PM

Wherever has the best deals at the time. Frys, Amazon, BB, CC or The forums here, Ebay, Half.com, Amazon marketplace. You name it.

JackKnightStarman · 10-28-2008, 08:24 PM

Before New York Started making Amazon charge us tax, I bought quite a few from their. Lately I have been using Tower.com, Family Video.com, Best Buy store down the street.

Turnda643 · 10-28-2008, 08:30 PM

Mostly Best Buy. I price match just about everything there. If BB doesnt have what I want from a Fry's price match, I'll grab it from Fry's. Ocassionally Circuit City will have some SD's worth wild in their sale bin on sunday's for $4-$5. And every blue moon I'll get a movie off Ebay.

And I never buy from Wally-mart anymore!!

sinister184 · 10-28-2008, 08:58 PM

honestly i think brick and morter stores like BB, and walmart have been making it hard for me to shop at Amazon. for example BB has started to make new releases $26 for movies like Hulk and Iron Man which is only like $1 difference and have been alot better with the sales. so Its slowely been shifting back to local stores.

hardcorefrokid · 10-28-2008, 09:03 PM

Fry's, I love that store, and Best Buy. Ordering a few movies from Amazon.
