You didn't mention for those of us with HD-DVD players that Circuit City is having a half off almost every movie left in their stores, Shrek the 3rd and Beowulf not included. I got about 6 movies this morning, paid about 72 bucks, one I have to take back because I forgot I bought it a while back...
Also picked up another 25 pack of dl media from Office Depot, pretty sure it's the crappy Ritek 2.4 stuff, but a buck a disk is a good deal these days and I'm sure my Pioneer or LG will do a good job with them.

[Ian]

I didn't have time to get to the Circuit City ad this morning. I don't like the store so I usually read it last.

[Dartman]

Well I've been buying from both BB and CC lately and having good luck with both my local stores. They both seem to try and help lately and haven't been too rude when I find one of those stoopid price deals that come up on Slick deals and fat wallet. I had one run in with a manager at BB but I was getting a 300 sub for 60 after a PM from the store that had the clearance price. He didn't want to do it and after some arguing the other store did a OMS order where I paid over the phone to their store then picked it up at the store that didn't want to sell it...end of argument. Other then that one time both have been great.
Mainly been buying clearance stuff and movies, depends on the CSR and management but been doing good lately
When Circuit City does a item on blowout clearance price all stores in the country have it. Best Buy will drop the price to blowout only at stores that just aren't selling whatever it is, other stores will have it at regular price and aren't definitely required to PM the cheap priced store.
Anyways CC for this week is selling those movies half off, BB all ready shipped all of theirs back for credit so no deals from them anymore.
After this week CC is supposedly also going to ship back whatever doesn't sell out.

As Dartman pointed out, all HD DVD titles are 50% off. The ad shows Knocked Up, King Kong, Shooter and Transformers. I'll probably swing by tomorrow and see if they still have Transformers.

[Dartman]

In the first of the morning they had a ton of the Transformers, I don't remember if they still had any when I went back to trade off the movie I doubled on. They even let me trade another movie that I bought after I forgot I'd ordered it in the 5 free bundle, even without the receipt, it was still wrapped up though and had their UPC sticker on it.
A guy was there in the morning all pissed off because they didn't have Transformers on BD... I felt like saying if you'd picked the looser you could buy 10 today for 15 each...

[Ian]

Circuit City was sold out of Transformers by the time I got there. I guess I'll wait a few weeks and buy one off eBay for $5.
