Author Topic: Big Blue Ray sale at Best Buy on Sunday Claude S. Ayakawa Film God Posts: 2738 From: Waipahu, Hawaii, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 06-18-2009 09:49 PM                        Best Buy will have a big sale on Catalog Blu-Ray titles at either $9.95 or $14.95 starting this Sunday. For $9.95, ENTER THE DRAGON starring Bruce Lee, OCEANS 12 plus one additional title will be available $14.95 titles will include MATRIX, NATURAL BORN KILLERS, AMADEUS, BETTLEJUICE, DIRTY HARRY, THE BRAVE ONE, HOW THE WEST WAS WON plus one additional title. I paid full price for HTWWW and about $20.00 (On Sale) for AMADEUS but I do not have the others. Of all the titles HTWWW is worth getting if you do not have it yet. It features the film in SmileBox, a simulation of the three strip Cinerama theatrical presentation as well as the letterboxed version. Best Buy has a bad habit of not stocking too many copies of sale items so I suggest you are there when the store opens if you want to take advantage of the sale. -Claude  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!

I am once again out of work and holding back on non-essential purchases and Best Buy does this. Oh well, these titles will come up on sale again, and/or the contract work will pick up.  |  IP: Logged Mike Schindler Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1039 From: Oak Park, IL, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 06-20-2009 12:04 AM                     For those who are considering NATURAL BORN KILLERS, it should be noted that the Director's Cut is set for release on 8/25.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 06-20-2009 12:23 AM                     According to The Digital Bits website the Blu-ray release of Natural Born Killers: Unrated Director's Cut has been pushed back to October 13. I wish there was a Best Buy in my town. I'd probably pick up Dirty Harry and How the West Was Won, but I don't feel like driving to Wichita Falls or Norman. Maybe some other time when I'm doing something else in either of those towns. Amazon will probably have good discounts on those titles pretty soon.  |  IP: Logged Victor Liorentas Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: london ontario canada Registered: May 2009 posted 06-20-2009 12:33 AM                     The special features on Enter The Dragon are worth the price alone but the movie itself while looking decent on my 720 dlp projector , looked bad on my friends 1080 dlp projector and i think its because of to many hours of special features on one disc? How ironic. Still, The Warriors Journey documentary is top notch , plus there is plenty more.  |  IP: Logged Claude S.

I have the directors cut on laserdisc in a box set and I will be happy wit the just regular version in Blu-Ray. -Claude  |  IP: Logged
