Do you buy all your BDs online? - Page 3 - Blu-ray Forum

bhampton · 02-02-2008, 02:39 PM

no

mightypen · 02-02-2008, 02:58 PM

online mostly, unless I must have the movie or tv series immediately.

will hit the bb sales if they're decent, will go for the b2g1 or b3g2 sales there, if they're a decent selection.

PVJAG · 02-02-2008, 03:13 PM

I buy wherever the deal is. If it's only a matter of a dollar or two i'll buy in store.. Nothing like some good 'ol instant gratification..

Sky_Captain · 02-02-2008, 03:14 PM

I'd have to sell some organs to afford BDs in the shops over here. I use ebay a lot as well as trading forums, etc. I've no problem picking up used Blu-rays as the scratch proof coating takes old worries away.

Yes I have Amazon Prime no tax and free two day shipping

ESUNintel · 02-02-2008, 03:21 PM

I've never purchased a Blu online before, only cause I wanted to show local stores support; so I tend to purchase them at Best Buy, Target or Sears. I did join Amazon Prime, mainly for books, but I did pre-order the Initial-D Blu from them, as well as Appleseed Ex Machina; so I guess I'll be buying online a bit more often now.

haynsey · 02-02-2008, 03:34 PM

yeah i buy all my blu rays on line its like half the price of the shops nearly (in UK) and importing from America is cheaper still even after postage costs which is a piss take!

PanamaMarco · 02-02-2008, 03:39 PM

I have bought all mine from BOGO's. I did accumulate some coupons from BB from my PS3 and Acer purchase. I will be using them to buy some movies in a few weeks when I get back to the states.

Have a great weekend.

Ciao.

Waiting is not one of my best attributes.

Just as I would rather hit the 7/11 for a Pepsi as opposed to standing in line at a Safeway, I would much rather buy a BD and take it right home and watch it.

YMMV.

pokerface · 02-02-2008, 04:25 PM

I have bought about 75% online and the rest BB.

GarettP · 02-02-2008, 04:26 PM

Nope, have only bought a few online.

Cordre69 · 02-02-2008, 10:41 PM

Mostly, yes.

nenmu · 02-02-2008, 10:49 PM

Mostly amazon prime.
The only time I'll buy them locally is if there's a special or if I have coupons to use.

aristotles · 02-02-2008, 11:03 PM

I used to buy locally at brick and mortar stores exclusively until the Canadian dollar went above par with the USD. I still buy some movies locally especially some individual new releases but if I'm looking to buy multiple movies, I've been buying from Amazon.com.

I wanted to support local retailers but some of them are overpricing new release boxsets by a wide margin.

mystiksuicide · 02-02-2008, 11:38 PM

I buy most from BB with Cris "eppi"

w_tanoto · 02-03-2008, 12:56 AM

mostly from HMV, but about 30% of my BD is from online stores.... If I know the story and know that I will buy it for sure, then I'll go and buy it online. If I just want to pick movie randomly, then I go to HMV (most movie I have on BD I picked randomly). If it is not available in UK, then online from USA
