They really want to try to make what they can off those HD DVDs. They still aren't selling well and the prices still aren't low enough to get me to buy. Select titles are still full price.

Sweet Maybe I'll pick up a second one... I am actually pretty impressed with it so far. Review coming soon.

 

[Gaigebacca]

come on infinity 362's... I NEED that deal again... ugh...

 

[j_garcia]

Just got back from getting my refund I will be back over there this weekend and I can see if they have any 362s.

 

[j_garcia]

Some movie with people in a jail lineup where I can't make out the title

Just caught that...LMAO. I believe that is The Usual Suspects. BTW, I've been to that Frys in Austin.

 

[allargon]

$27.99
The Nightmare Before Christmas

$28 seems like a lot but the regular in store price is $34.99. Moreover, this is the first mainstream US Blu-Ray with 7.1 Dolby TrueHD. (You posted yours while I was still creating and editing mine.) Thanks.

Fry's added several HD DVD titles to the $7 pool today.

$6.99 ea.
Tomb Raider
Old School
March of the Penguins
The Heartbreak Kid
Breach

 

[j_garcia]

28 is the going price, as they appear to have matched Amazon. I had already preordered it from Amazon and then found it at Tower.com for $26.99, but I haven't really seen anywhere that had it cheaper than that brand new.

 

[Davidt1]

Got "12 Monkeys" for $6.99. Don't like it. They also have Mission Impossible bundle for $24.99 and BBC Version Planet Earth for $29.99. Hopefully, they will be even less in a month.

 

[Adam]

...BBC Version Planet Earth...

An excellent series, IMO.

 

[jvgillow]

How long was the $129.99 price on the Amp300 active? I checked their web site today and it shows 149.99, so maybe has gone back up already?

I priced out 3 of them @ $450 plus they want $116.72 to ship them.

 

[jvgillow]

Well, just replying to myself here

Found out shipping is $19.99 each if I only put one at a time in the cart. Funny how that works.

 

[j_garcia]

If I am not mistaken, the price was in-store only, and only in certain areas.

I only posted the ones for the Blu-rays. Allargon usually posts up with the hardware deals I'm sure there are some, but I haven't checked the ad.
