Blade Runner @ BB - Blu-ray Forum

Eddie who? · 12-11-2007, 10:51 PM

I was at the local BB here checking out the HP boxset and I noticed Blade Runner sitting on the shelf. It's not the briefcase set, but still pretty nifty. I wasn't a huge fan of the movie, so I didn't pick it up, but was still very tempted just because its Blu-ray. If my will starts to break down I may have to pick it up later.

When I was there eariler some guy was asking an employe if they had any in stock because he did not see any, so I guess he was a week early.

Also reports of copies in BB Las Vegas and Houston. No such luck at my BB.

When Family Guy the Party pack came out it was a week before it was supposed to be out they had them out already and a customer asked for the price and they said it wasn't supposed to be out till next week so the employee grabbed all of them and put them in the back. So yeah they make mistakes all the time sometimes they don't even realize it.

Eddie who? · 12-12-2007, 05:21 AM

So I really didn't plan on buying this, but........... after a few hours I said kcuf it and ran back to the store five minutes before closing to pick it up anyway. By the time I got there they had realised what they did and removed the three sets from the shelf. The guy there said that they had sold one by mistake which could cost them a few thousand beans in fines and now I would have to wait a week.

I know. I know. I should have picked it up when I had the chance. The force is not too strong with this one.

danielpwnz · 12-12-2007, 05:23 AM

I picked this up from Best Buy tonight.

The transfer looks great. If the Close Encounters transfer pleased you (and it should have), you'll like this one a lot too.

Audio on the Final Cut sounds great, too!

I haven't checked out any of the Archival cuts or the Workprint yet.

Oh, and it comes with a booklet inside (as seen in photo #2). Finally!

Armodka · 12-12-2007, 05:10 AM

I was just at best buy checking out their blu-ray section and to my suprise, I saw thre copies of Blade Runner. Wasn't this supposed to come out next week? Anyway it was the special edition and it came in a box a little bigger than Planet earth. I didn't buy it cause I've got mine on order at amazon.

Jokerboy649 · 12-12-2007, 05:23 AM

How much was Best Buy selling it for?

Armodka · 12-12-2007, 05:30 AM

like 35, I just noticed that this thread already exists, so if this can be locked or deleted that be awesome

bmr76 · 12-13-2007, 04:40 AM

I was at bestbuy today to get lost season 3 and the blade runner blu ray was next to it. Is this out yet? I thought it came out next week. well any ways it at the mesa,az fiesta bestbuy if anyone needs it. Just confused, or did it get moved up for release.

davidPS3 · 12-13-2007, 04:46 AM

Hey, yes it is out and I picked up the last copy at my local best buy this morning. I heard rumor here on the site that someone had found it out there a week early. I went this morning and found one hidden in the section, asked the clerk working the isle and he said they got about 20 in so I was lucky to find one. Then when I went to the check stand, it did not scan, the clerk who must have been new, then manually entered it into the system and I walked out a happy camper. I watched the directors cut tonight and I honestly have to say that this is by far the best looking and sounding blu I have ever watched! Just amazing the job they did on this. My wife walked by as I was watching it and she is not into the movies, but did stop and watch at the end scene and just said WOW! that looks amazing!

turboedguy · 12-13-2007, 04:49 AM

release date is Dec 18.

Luckeeeey

Petra_Kalbrain · 12-13-2007, 04:57 AM

Blade Runner is not "officially" released until next Tuesday (Dec 18th). Consider yourself lucky to have gotten it early.

Oh I do, believe me I do. In reading other posts on this, there are quite a few other areas that got these in as well. Will give our weekly numbers a nice little boost if enough shipped out early.

Patranus · 12-13-2007, 06:31 PM

Any place in the Bay Area between San Jose and Orinda to pick this up?

I know I pass several best Buys on my way home and would like to pick this up on my way home from work.

Thanks.

Randy B A · 12-13-2007, 10:07 PM

I was able to pick this up today in San Diego BB. That is 10 WB Blu-Ray titles this week.
