I got all the Disney Classics but they're the danish releases. But i still don't have Beauty And The Beast because Disney cussed up It was released Oct. 19 but all the stores in the country only got between 0-4 copies and they were all sold out So it's been on backorder everywhere for almost a month and i'm waiting for Blockbuster to call me when they get it again since i can get it for free there.

Some Black Friday ads posted early.
If I didn't already own almost everything that is going to be on sale, I'd be all over the place! Looks like the only thing I DON'T have is Predators Blu and that will be $9.99 at Best Buy.

I know this may seem...off subject considering everybody is currently talking about Disney movies, but seeing how Touchstone pictures is a relative of Disney, anybody hear anything about a Ed Wood Blu ray release?

wow. Best Buy is having Saving Private Ryan for $9.99?? That's BS!!! I just bought that when it came out.
And that 50" Plasma for $699 is pretty tempting even though I have my eyes on a Sharp LCD right now.

The trouble with doorbusters are you usually have to stand in line early in the morning.

And that 50" Plasma for $699 is pretty tempting even though I have my eyes on a Sharp LCD right now.

Did you read the small print though? 10 copies per store. Same goes for all the other blu movies mentioned in the ad, 5 per store! that's what pisses me off about these stupid black Friday ads, the splash a super deal on the front page and then get 5 per store?? Total BS. I know it's a tactic used to get you into the store but still. Good luck to anybody gunning for these as you'll have to compete again literally HUNDREDS of turkey filled sleep deprived raving mad shoppers.

 

[Kabukiman]

Did you read the small print though? 10 copies per store.

That's a minimum not a maximum. Meaning there will be at least 10 in the store, but likely a lot more.

Either way, get there early though.

In my experience Kubuki, at least here in San Diego, the minimum is ALL the usually get. Hence the fistfight at the BB I was at last year. plus I was in line by midnight and I still didn't get some of the movies I wanted last year. But fingers crossed all the same that some of you luck out!

 

[The Ween]

That's the trouble. It's so busy and so many people, that buy the time you navigate the store, things are gone. It used to be kinda fun to do Black Friday, but more and more it's losing it's "charm".

 

[UTtoyfan]

You love that picture, Waller.

Damn, 6 titles in February?????? I'll never be caught up now.
