As a true fan of the movie, I expect Journey to be fantastic in 3D on my passive LG system.
It still burns my nipples that NONE OF THE RETAILERS has Journey 3D on sale at a decent price... Best Buy especially.
If I use Best Buy's $5 DVD upgrade coupon and a $5 Reward Zone Certificate, that'll make Best Buy's price the same as Amazon's ($32.99). I also have some BB gift cards from Christmas, so my net out-of-pocket expense will be free.
At least at Best Buy, I could still price adjust IF they
offer it for lower later on. As a Silver Reward Zone member, I am not sure how long after purchase I can price adjust, but I think it's one month (might be two).
The only possible MYSTERY will be the actual in-store price at BB for Journey 3D. The ad states that there are OTHER TITLES IN STORE on sale for $29.99 ($24.99 with $5 DVD upgrade coupon). Has in-store prices ever been lower than the BestBuy.com advertised price? I guess I will find out tomorrow. I would also like it very much if it comes with movie cash for Journey 2.
If I attempt to get Journey 3D at Walmart ($31.96), chances are it won't even be in stock tomorrow. My local WM is absolutely horrid when it comes to Blu-ray 3D titles on the shelf -- especially on release day. But why should I bother with WM since I can use the coupons at Best Buy (along with the RZ Cert and BB Gift Cards).
So come on and fess up: who is buying this tomorrow (or this week)? I am!

Despite what everybody thinks retailers have nothing to do with the pricing of items. If theyre not offered a deal from the supplier, they can't pass a deal onto their customers. Do you really think they are going to LOSE money on title just for the joy of selling it?
If the supplier doesn't intend to push a title with advertising or some kind of promotion because they dont think theyll earn their outlay back they wont do it and it has nothing to do with the retailers. This is a back catalogue title that will probably be lucky to sell a few thousand copies considering the small amount of units 3D titles sell, so it isn't really surprising there are no offers available on it.
