As for the people who are looking for some sort of "special" price. I think these people just are upset with Paramount and don't understand what a new release is compared to a catalog title. As it's been explained, and as you can see at a local best buy if you're observant enough, New Releases are actually considered new releases for quite some time. Just because a title didn't get released day and date with the DVD, doesn't automatically make it a catalog title. I personally don't think they should lower their prices on There Will Be Blood or Cloverfield. They're new releases and are priced as such. This has nothing to do with Fox or anything like that either. And if you want Paramount to make up for their switch, just look for high quality picture and sound on their releases along with all the features from their DVD's (which is something Fox doesn't even do).

Wal-mart.com has Cloverfield for pre-order at $19.99. The printout is all I need for either my Best Buy or Circuit City to price match.

Sounds like a sale price to me.

Is that the page that has the HD DVD artwork on it? My best buy and circuit city wont price match. And Wal Mart wont price match their site. And that's not a sale, that's their regular online price. Just like $18 is their price for I Am Legend.

You should have a talk with the manager of Best Buy, because they're supposed to.

The only time my Best Buy price matched was when I complained about how a season of Reno 911 is $11 on their site compared to $23 in their store. Then she looked up their site and checked and matched it and gave me a TON of attitude. Which is why I really only order movies now.
