I'd sure like to know why.

I'll never buy a lesser version even when I have no I intentions on using the extra trinkets. I have numerous BDs that go unwatched, only purchased to get promos or trinkets. The only BDs I don't own the best set of are 3D releases and a handful of BDs where a special edition came out years after the original BD.

here's my latest purchase. i had an aunt pick this up for me. for some reason I assumed that it would also contain an english track. doesn't matter.

No slip for Sons of Anarchy S3!

Minimejer05 · 08-30-2011, 11:30 PM

Wow, so the Thor 3D pack doesn't have that dumb 3D "finish" on the slipcover like most do? Lenticular is it called?

Now I don't know which to get. I like the Thor 2D slip, but the 3D is simple and also cool looking.

Maybe I'll take my first plunge into true addict territory and get both?

Finally picked up the Men In Black slipcover at Target for 7.99

They had three copies of the blu ray out and one with the slip so i took that. There wasn't a sales price on it, but i heard alot got it for 7.99 and scanned it and it came up 7.99 It's the Blu Ray Essentials one.

One member here purchased 4 or 5 different copies of Inception. That's true addict.

I picked that up last week. It was 'in the back' and literally took the rep ten minutes to find it.

Nice find.

Nice find.

They must have moved alot of stuff from the back up. Cause they moved all the blu rays, dvd and cds around. The cds and dvds are grouped together. While the Blu Rays are a bit over. and alot of them are put in price sections. Like ones for 14.99 and 9.99 and just the others through out.

I also saw they had the forgetting Sarah Marshall blu ray that i was looking for a couple weeks ago when i was looking for it. But I had bought it else where and didn't have a slip so I didn't get it.

Thanks, hopefully this means they will have alot more stuff out. cause it looks like they took alot of time to separate the blu rays from the dvds.

Outlaw Josey Wales comes in a non digi book form. It's a Wal-Mart exclusive if that's what you mean. And I thought BB was selling The Green Mile in the regular case. It too was a exclusive for a but wasn't it?

Also Shin both my BB and WM had Top Gun, they had 4 copies at BB and then 6 at WM.

Same here. I think the new release has a nice slipcover, but I'll still stick with my old trilogy release that is only missing the slipcover for the third movie.

Here's my sweet bluray Tuesday haul:

Best Buy really let me down today. Top Gun is only shipping to larger stores, so of the four near me, only the one furthest away carries it. It gets better... I was forced to go to a

[Show spoiler]

today, though there's a new one that isn't too shabby about 10mi away from me. I refuse to go to the one closest to me.

I leave my office earlier and am off to the store further away, and they're sold out. Now my only chance for Top Gun is to go to the worst walmart in the US. I suck it up an go, had them price match Best Buy, and high-tailed it out of there as quickly as possible.

The good news of this is they seem to be the only store to carry these new Oreos. I swore to myself that no matter how hard my cut was, I'd buy them. Then I find out there are two versions!

P.S. Get it... sweet.

Damn Best Buy and their inane allocation.

It actually doesn't make sense. They're losing money as my purchases have come slim to none at BB anymore since they won't ship BDs to the stores around me.
