fighthefutureofhd · 03-04-2009, 01:20 PM

best buy is a great place to shop for blu-ray's as is barnes and noble. i got u2's rattle and hum for $9.99 at barnes and noble. that's hard to beat. the problem though is their selection isn't too hot. otherwise they're a fine store for shopping. i like them.

do you like paying MSRP for blu-rays when you can get it a lot cheaper online? Retail stores are NOT good for purchasing blu-rays. Only a select few stores actually have sales and even then, the pickings are quite slim.

i only buy blu-ray's from retail stores and i never, never pay msrp for them. i've always found retail to be cheaper and hassle free when it comes to buying blu-rays. i will always support retail brick and mortar stores though. i'm not a fan on online shopping much.

I personally don't understand it, but hey...to each his own.

The big titles rarely go on sale in retail stores. How do you deal with that?

I guess you're not a fan of saving money

Isn't all their media like that? Their DVDs and CDs are retail priced too. I haven't purchased books from them lately, but all of their books, except for the top sellers, used to be retail too.

he probably only buys stuff on sale and rents the rest.

I've never bought anything except books from there, so I won't start now.

nope. i never rent movies. i usually buy movies the day of release. i will occasionally buy some on sale, but that's rare.

I used to buy DVDs from Barnes and Noble all the time because they carried a LOT of hard to find items..... stuff I'd have trouble finding online sometimes (back in the day) and when browsing their DVDs I would find titles I didn't even know were out....... so it was always a good place to "Shop"

Now, with this site..... not much gets by me

(there are still some, but I'm getting better)
