As for packaging well it's going to most likely to be the old crappy boxes.

Only Roger Rabbit and ALL future Zavvi steelbook releases are guaranteed to have the better and more secured packaging.

Thanks, ill probably just go for it and hope for the best

I need 1 dollar DVD's for the April upgrade and save!!!!!
:'(

Does Best Buy accept ANY used DVD? Or does it have to be from a certain distributor? So will they give me the vouchers/discount if I come up with 5 DVD's no one has ever heard of ?

Yup it just has to have a case with professional artwork I believe and no burned discs. I'm not to sure about duplicates. But u can only do 5 at a time and I would bring the same DVD on different trips so if u bought 6 or 7 DVDs of the same 5 titles and just brought one of each on different trips. I was looking at my DVD shelf tho and I got some more I want to trade in.
Also I heard maybe some Walmarts have some $1 or $2 DVDs. Can anyone confirm I was going to check my Walmart but I guess I forgot last time I went.

So what if I take 20 dvd's with me and go in 4 separate things immediately after each other? Will they say ''no no no young man, I believe I saw you just 13 seconds ago.'' or don't they care?

I don't think there are Walmarts in NYC. I believe there are no Walmarts in the North-Eastern part of the USA, but I could be wrong. I saw a Target though

And I don't want to spend more than 1 dollar. Otherwise it's only a 3 dollar discount. That's almost 50% less

blurayisnice · 03-24-2013, 06:14 PM

I was wrong, there are actually Walmarts in New York. But haven't seen one yet.

Outlaw1986 · 03-24-2013, 06:26 PM

I don't know about going in one right after another. I heard some people said they did that. Last time I think I decided to go just once on the weekend maybe once during the week then do that again every week for a couple weeks. Plus now I know how to get to my best buy on my way home from work without going out of my way at all so I could just stop then. I hope they have more of there steelbooks at $10 again and restock on them so I can get more of them for $5. The other best buy by my house still had some of those steelbooks that were $10 left just the other day but I had them scan one I wanted and it was $25 now.

jeffster15 · 03-24-2013, 09:59 PM

Well went a little crazy lol, ordered 10 haha. What is the average ship time to the US?

Outlaw1986 · 03-24-2013, 10:24 PM

^^^^
About 1-2 weeks with my experience. I may end up loosing my self control and doing one more order here in a little while for 4 more steelbooks. Must resist...
Dang it this always happens and I got to slim my shopping cart down some.

Why can't I just order all of them.

BJKH · 03-24-2013, 10:48 PM

So is Zavvi going out of business? For some reason I think I heard that somewhere. They have some nice steelbooks, I wouldn't mind getting a couple.

Thank you.Ya i lost my battle with self control haha. I was always looking at those play.com steels and jealous they wouldn't ship to the US. Ebay prices were more than i wanted to spend. Wish they had Saving Private Ryan, x-men first class, top gun & mission impossible: ghost protocol, but my wallet doesn't haha. I guess i have to resort to ebay and look for decent deals.

I don't know where your are ordering from but if you are not from the uk then talk to your cc company and see if they blocked the transaction because it was an over seas order.

My Godfather steelbook arrived this morning. It's been years since I received something so quickly from them it came as quite a shock. It arrived in immaculate condition too, posted in their new packaging.
