Target selling Commando and Predator Early - Page 3 - Blu-ray Forum

Schrute Farms · 04-09-2008, 04:33 PM

The Frys in Arlington, Texas has 6 copies of Commando for sale $28.99.

I'll wait and rent it first. I just picked up Walk Hard, 6th Day, and There Will be Blood (SD). Gonna be a lazy day!

I might swing by Target to get a few things and scope out the Blu's. If Predator is there I MIGHT buy it.

Don't toy with us; you know you will.

Just swung by a Target in Lakeland, Fl. They had both available, 35 bones. I passed.

I still maintain it is much too high for a catalogue title, but oh well...

Ha! You caved. Nice rationalization.

I'll buy Commando because I never had it on DVD. Just VHS. But Predator might have to wait. I'll get it eventually though!

I'm close to the Frys in Plano. I might stop by and see if they have it. $28.99 is still high but I don't know...

I need to stay the hell away from Target tomorrow...if I go in there, I know I'm walking out with Commando, and I really don't want to pay that much.

Went to buy Predator, but both my Targets near me didn't have the movie available. Got home and read the review, and was kind of thankful.

davidPS3 · 04-10-2008, 02:35 AM

Sorry, every time I read a post about target getting movies in early and I have gone to check it out, it is false at least in my market. We have the large store here as well, they have a small set to begin with and don't keep up at all with releases.

Enjoy the movies though.

Commando and Predator Hong Kong Region A Blu-ray available for $27.5 each in play-asia. If you have $10 coupon you can bring down the price to $23 each.

mel2 · 04-10-2008, 09:19 AM

I just watched commando and I feel it's about 3.5 star PQ. It's no I'Robot but it's a hell of alot better than the sd dvd version. well worth it in my book. considering the master wasn't in prestine condition to begin with I believe Fox did a great job. the sharpness was a little too much and there is slight edge enhancement. but they cleaned it up well. Predator is up next. these movies are classics, any slight upgrade is always worthy of a new purchase.

Commando got a poor review on HiFidigest, but I will still pick it up as I like Arnie movies and never had this one on VHS or DVD.

$35 clams is too much.....I'll pick it up next week at BB and price match to the cheapest price I can find.

Hehe -- yeah, guess I did. But I still hold to my reasoning. It was absolutely true. Even the milk is outrageously expensive part.

Mr. Cinema · 04-10-2008, 10:12 PM

The new Target ad for April 20th has been posted at DVD Talk. Predator BD is listed for $19.99. I think I'll wait another week and save $15 to get it.

Other $19.99 titles in that ad are: Troy, The Departed, Blue Planet IMAX, The Rock, Casino Royale, The Fifth Element, and Independence Day.

Or buy it now and get the $15 back on the 20th.
