[Quentin]

The flyer says "32 to choose from" I wonder what the others are?

[Jaytee]

Thats awesome. Im going to pick up some titles for sure.

Normally superbits are more expensive and start at $25 for one unless its a total crap title.

[Quentin]

OooooOooooo, I really hope "Fifth Element" is one of the 32!!!!!

The Ultimate Edition was a part of last week's (ending today). Snatch: Deluxe Superbit was as well (ordered both but will probably need to call for price adjustment. Saved a copy of the page, just in case):
http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=205101

So they will probably both still be around this week. Both were OOS when I ordered though.

[roar]

Has anyone actually seen a difference in these dvd's? Like, do you own both a normal copy and a super bit copy, played them back to back? I was always tempted to buy one but never have.

[cOmAtOaSt]

I've never watched a Superbit DVD. Can you see the difference between it and the same DVD that's 'normal'?

[springroll]

The differences in picture quality is subtle but you could definetely tell on a bigger screen.
The main selling point for me is the addition of DTS soundtracks to these titles. DTS is what makes all the differences to me. They just sounds so much richer and dynamic.

[frogger]

Clearing out old titles to make way for eventual HD-DVD/BlueRay?

[Quentin]

The Ultimate Edition was a part of last week's

Thanks for that, I'm holding out for the Superbit version!

[springroll]

Thanks for that, I'm holding out for the Superbit version!

If I were you, I'd get the Ultimate edition of Fifth Element (Same goes for Leon, if it's part of the special). The Utlimate edition is simply the Superbit edition + an additional disc full of extras.

[ds-]

Nice, I'm gonna have to stock up on some Superbit

I recently got some superbit form HMV: Closer, Snatch, Adaptation for 2/$30

[Quentin]

Apparently they remove all the extra **** so they have more room on the DVD to encode the video at a higher rate.

Fifth Element Superbit is reference quality! If you have a nice TV or projector, this DVD should show you why you payed the big bucks!

ISF has listed it as one of the best reference DVDs:
http://www.filmsondisc.com/ISF_Reference_DVD_Program.htm

[ds-]

Here is a list of Superbit DVDs available here: http://www.sonypictures.com/cthe/superbit/catalog.html

I noticed some arn't listed there, so there should be a few other Superbit DVDs not listed there.

Thanks springroll, I was not aware of that. I'm ordering the Ultimate edition as I type this...

[Sgt_Strider]

I find it weird that FS will post next week's flyer up so early. Anyways, thanks for the info!

[Flux]

Sweeeeet. Gonna have to increase my superbit collection.

Hoping for Snatch (already $14.99, so that'll definitely be in the sale), Labyrinth, Starship Troopers, and Underworld

I have the ultimate edition Fifth Element which is superbit. Looks great and a lot of people do use it as reference dvd. I believe I saw it on sale at Futureshop for like 2/$30 a few weeks ago. I paid $28 for it by itself.

I will pick up a few superbits (probably the spiderman 1/2), but not that many because I dont want to buy the dvd again when hi def dvds are finally out.

Looks like Blue Ray is going to emerge as the winner with the hd dvd studios moving to the Blue Ray side. I hope it does win. It has much higher storage.

most people wouldn't be able to tell the diffrence between a regular and a superbit DVD, if you don't know what to look for (JPEG artifacts, EE, etc)

though the bigger the screen, the bigger the difference you can see.

If you don't have a decent cable set up then you're wasting it anyway.

By that I mean component cables or at the very least S-video.

from thedigitalbits.com
"The HD DVD camp is close to demonstrating, in actual production situations, the manufacture of 30 GB discs. Blu-ray has yet to be able to get their 50 GB discs out of the lab (the best they've reportedly replicated under actual production conditions is 25 GB)."

Just heard a couple of days ago that microsoft and other companies are backing the hd dvd since they are able to come to market quicker..

Superbit is just an euphony for a barebone DVD.

But in the flyer...BATMAN BEGINS DELUXE EDITION is only $21.99

It even has a comic book included in it...omg what a deal!

So the audio quality is actually crappier in the Superbit version, compared to the original?

Let's not forget that it comes with a Special Edition DVD Case.

I know I will buy one! Such a damn good movie.

[b166er1337]

That picture is misleading. A DVD-9 has 8.5 GB of space. From the diagram, one assumes that a superbit dvd uses up all the space. HOWEVER, IT'S NOT THE CASE. For instancee, it may only fill up 6GB and the other 2.5 GB is wasted.

Anyway, superbit is a nice alternative to those who don't watch extras. The picture & audio quality is outstanding in Starship Troopers and Fifth Element. IMO two of the best superbits out there.

Great link... still not convinced I will be able to see the difference while the movie is in motion, but if these screen grabs are an indication it appears as if super bit may actually make a difference.

The "larger" audio component on the left includes the audio tracks of the special features. The audio component on the right is only for the movie.

I would like to compare superbit versus 720p AVIs on my projector....anyone in the Hamilton/Dundas area want to compare? I have about a dozen 720p flicks - I'm sure we can find an overlap movie or 2 for comparison's sake.

As far as i know, no DVD will look better than the 720p HDTV-rips that you currently have. All DVDs are 480i-based, even if you upconvert them, they are still SDTV quality. Detail (lines) wise, the 720p DIVX files would look better.

The point here is though, they are not very heavily compressed, so there'd be less artifacts nor jittering. Plus the sound would be full-bit DTS.

[springroll]

So the audio quality is actually crappier in the Superbit version, compared to the original?

Short answer: No
Keep in mind, non-superbit DVDs usually have the English soundtrack, French, DD2.0 soundtrack, sometimes a Spanish soundtrack, and even a commentary. Combine them together, they would take quite a bit of space. Which is why they took a large chunk out of that pie.
Whereas with a Superbit DVD, there's the English DD5.1 soundtrack and the full-bit (somebody correct me if I'm wrong on this one) DTS soundtrack (which can take more than 1 gig sometimes).

[springroll]

To mods: I understand that the above two replies from me really shouldn't be here. These kinda discussions should really go to Hardware/Software. Since people asked, I thought I'd give my 2 cents worth.

wow.. this seems to be available now at futureshop.ca

Link (http://www.futureshop.ca/marketing/dvd_collections/default.asp?Page=1&PCName=2_superbitdvd_$25&catid=&logon=&langid=EN)


valid until nov 17.. and you can browse through all the titles..

The only thing is that the discount is not being applied... maybe it will work after 3am.. (12pm pst)

[makman_2000]

You don't have to wait till the 14th to get these DVD deals. They are actually being promoted on the Future Shop website already. If you look on the right side of the DVD main page, you'll see the promotions there. However, the system does not reflect the prices when you checkout so you have to call customer service and they'll adjust them for you. The CS lady said that there's a glitch in the system so that's why they are not correctly priced when you checkout, I think what really happened was that they prematurely advertised the promotions since it's supposed to start on the 14th and the system simply doesn't recognized that there's a sale now. One more thing, on the list of the Superbits that are on sale, Leon the Professional is not on the list so that might be instores only.

[jtcb]

When will the sale start in-store? Tomorrow? I have four titles in mind.. Use At Home GC to save even more..

[dealmeister]

I've never watched a Superbit DVD. Can you see the difference between it and the same DVD that's 'normal'?

probably not......but you'll be able to sleep better at night, knowing you do have the superbit title over the regular version.....just like the americans with their ICBM pointing at all there enemies......

Damn it, they have Spiderman 2 in Superbit but not Spiderman 1.

looks like I'd be spending this weekend..

ooooooooooo man! I am so getting this super bit dvds!!!!!!!!!

[Tiberius]

I would like to compare superbit versus 720p AVIs on my projector....anyone in the Hamilton/Dundas area want to compare? I have about a dozen 720p flicks - I'm sure we can find an overlap movie or 2 for comparison's sake.

The issue with 720p AVIs would be... what was their source?? If their source wasn't at least 720p then they are just DVD quality encoded to 720p... so... they can't really be "better" than their source... If the source was perfect, and the encode was done properly, they would be better.

[Tiberius]

I would say that Superbit is worth it under one of the following scenerios:

1) You have a high quality big screen TV, and surround sound set-up. (this will allow you to possibly notice the improved audio and video quality)

2) You are someone who absolutely must have the "best" quality. It's a matter of pride/bragging rights/knowing your collection has the best in it (future proofing your DVD collection for when you do have the big screen TV and surround sound system.. ;))

Why should you not bother with Superbit?

1) Once HD-DVD and Blue Ray are out, the movies will probably be re-released in even better quality on those formats... so if you want the "best"... it will be outdated soon

2) You don't have a big screen TV or surround sound system to benefit from the slight improvements made on Superbit DVDs

3) You can get the same movie on DVD for less in a non-Superbit addition (and don't feel the barely noticeable improvements Superbit offers are worth paying more for...)

4) You like the "extras" that DVDs come with...

[badkarma]

If there's a particular movie you love and don't have and comes in Superbit I'd definitely grab it. This is a pretty good deal. However, if you're into extras and commentaries, etc skip Superbit. For me the DTS soundtrack is worth it alone. And in some cases like 5th element, the Superbit version is definitely worthwhile.

Superbit is the way DVD's SHOULD be released. Not doubledipping lke all the studios do. There should be 1 disc for least compressed video and DTS soundtrack and 2nd disc for extras. But hey, I guess if the studios can get away with 4-5 releases of the same movie why not steal our money.

[Wes]

This sale has started in store. It's not signed at all, but it does ring up this way in the end. I wasn't sure at first as the 2 titles came up normal price, but eventually the computer updated it to the 2 for $25 promo. Great deal!

[wayward]

there's the English DD5.1 soundtrack and the full-bit (somebody correct me if I'm wrong on this one) DTS soundtrack (which can take more than 1 gig sometimes).

All of the R1 domestic Superbits feature the dts at half-rate 754 kbps.

Are you sure it has started? I went today and the staff says sale starts next Monday.. so I didn't get any. Can you scan your receipt?

[fitbrit]

Online it says 2 for $25, but they get added to your cart at regular price. :(

By the way, op, it's superbits, not supperbits; supperbits are what're left on the sidewalk after a night of heavy drinking.

[Wes]

Are you sure it has started? I went today and the staff says sale starts next Monday.. so I didn't get any. Can you scan your receipt?

Sorry I don't have a scanner. The two I bought originally scanned at full price, so I thought I was going to have to argue. The cashier went to give me the large total and hit return on the keyboard or something, and it then updated the total to the sale price.

The two line items went to $12.50 each, and then I had 2 more items added of "2 for $25 promo". The sku for the promo was 10066537-A9MA.

I made sure to pick two from the list of 32 shown online. This was at the Heartland store in Mississauga.

[ENG101]

I also picked up two last night (Oct 7). The sale is totally unmarked in the store (which is why there were some left for me :lol: ) but like the poster above me said, they ring in at full price and then the register does it's magic and it pops up with the sale price. The girl at the register did a doubletake at the sale price since the sticker price of the two DVDs was over 80 dollars.

Anyone FS person who tells you differently is a dork.

[akito925]

well if a few of you successfully picked up theses dvds I'm grabbing them!

[ZenOps]

Me too, I'm going to try later today.

Superbit DVD's are really good for short movies (less than 2 hours) for movies that are closer to 3 hours on a single DVD like LOTR it wouldn't make much of a difference. You can't add bits beyond the physical capacity of the disc itself.

Fifth element looks so good because it was a short movie, the original release was very small in GB size as they used a standard encoding pass.

I would like to have seen a LOTR 2-disc Superbit with intermission about 90 minutes in each episode. I don't mind switching discs to go get popcorn and take a washroom break if it means better picture.

[McMurphy]

I went to the location in Markham yesterday and even though the DVD's rang up as two for $25, the assistant manager was next to the cashier and he said it was a mistake and that they shouldn't be on sale until next week.. :mad:

It's the Long weekend so I have time ;)

Awesome deals though people. Looks like they're trying to make Superbit popular so they can gouge for it in the future.

Better formats wont be popular for a long time, especially if a format war happens.

I agreed, the next generation DVD format has no clear winner. I wouldn't buy a single HD-DVD/Blu-Ray movie until there is a clear winner. I would hate to buy movies for the competing camp and then realize that they lost. One thing is for sure and that is DVD will continue to be sold for the forseeable future.

[gostinger]

8:45 PM and grabbed my 2 for 25 ....Black Hawk Down and Bad Boys ......no hassle.....why would there be?BHD was 50 bucks original sticker

[LuuC]

So where are the titles? The link on the first page didn't work...

[soulflare]

You can try searching for "superbit" on the Futureshop site to see most of the available titles. I visited the London North FS and there really wasn't anything I wanted there, so I wasn't able to confirm the sale pricing (they have a bunch of copies of Desperado, Cliffhanger, Panic Room and Dracula... and that's about it). I did grab Snatch SB for $14.95, but that was part of another sale.

Bought 5th Element and Crouching Tiger at 2 for 25.00. Thanks for the deal. I had wanted to get these two. One thing they apparently are not selling them with the superbit silver cover when they go on sale in Winnipeg. The two I bought did not come with the cover and the sales guy did get them from the back room where they were stored. At least it is that way in Winnipeg. I do not know if it will be the same in all the stores.

You can always hit FS and try buying it today at that price to see what they say. I was planning to buy both for $25, with BHD or 5th Element as a backup if they turn me down :mad:

i wouldnt mind black hawk down, as its usually ridiculously overpriced at rogers video.

[jtcb]

Confusion is that there is a current sale on now...

http://www.futureshop.ca/marketing/dvd_collections/default.asp?Page=1&PCName=2_superbitdvd_$25&catid=&logon=&langid=EN

and another one starting Oct. 14, some different titles added.




It is the same. What is the different?

[reddragon]

Is it this one (http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10064332&catid=) they change to? I will take it if it is the same price as the dvd. You get more..

[booboo]

I asked the guy at Metrotown FS and he said the superbit dvds were in the back and asked what I wanted. Just then I got a phone call and had to leave so I didn't end up buying anything.

[Sgt_Strider]

I went to the location at Broadway and Pine in GVR. None were in stock or they were hiding it. The employees weren't very helpful. They suggested that I used the computer to check to see if they have it in stock :rolleyes:.

[audit13]

I would love to get Underworld in a SuperBit version but they only have the regular length version rather than the extended length version. :(

[ciao]

how were you able to get PM @ BB?? FS sale is not on yet!!!!!
what proof of pricing did you use? you must have gotten an air-head CSR @ BB if they did the PM for you.......but good for you!

let us know your "SECRET'......


There is a link here to the FS sale currently in place til Nov. 17. There is also an impending sale starting Oct. 14 for which someone had posted a link (now invalid) and a pic.

Go back through the thread.

No secret here. Just do some more reading.

So does the sale start today or Oct. 14?

I'm gonna call them now.

[hooky]

The promotion is suppose to start today. An employee from the Coquitlam location told me last week. I ended up going to the metrotown location but they didn't have anything out in the store so I just kindly asked a salesman to get it from the back. The prices are already updated in their computers and comes out to $12.50 per movie on the receipt. Picked up Fifth Element and Spiderman 2.

[Bordak]

http://www.newfoundwang.com/pics/curtis.jpg

Picking up a couple tomorrow for sure, great prices.

[herc]

It works as long as you call their toll free number and tell them that the DVDs are on sale. They will make sure you get charged the correct price. I ordered mine the middle of last week and there was no problem at all getting the price corrected.

[msandra]

can we start discussing which title has the best quality and value to buy? I guess quality is subjective but size isn't. So why don't those who have bought the disc post the disc size in this thread, so others can have a reference when buying?

I will start with what I have:

title size playtime
BLACK_HAWK_DOWN 7.10GB approx 144min

[jtcb]

Mask of Zorro should be a good buy.. 2 discs work out to be $6.25/disc.

[Sgt_Strider]

Anyone in the GVRD found Black Hawk Down in superbit edition? I can't find any..

[akito925]

Anyone in the GVRD found Black Hawk Down in superbit edition? I can't find any..

is black hawk down any a good one??

[audit13]

I managed to order Leon and A Knight's Tale (for the wife) on Friday. I had to call in and talk to a CS agent, but he put the order through with the discount.

Do you mean Leon The Professional ? I don't see it as being one of the listed titles at the 2 for $25 price.

I guess all SuperBit discs are on sale.

[fudge_u]

Is Leon The Professional one of the movies? I wouldn't mind adding that to my collection.

WG.

[akito925]

the only superbit movie that I'd could get for the 2 for $25 is spiderman 1.. anyone mange to get the frist spiderman ??

[audit13]

The FS website says there are 36 titles to choose from but I only see 34.

[soulflare]

When I try to order I get no discount at all? :confused:

[pete5000]

Looks like a good deal - unless you already have all the dvd's on the list that you want :(
I think I'll wait until Betamax versions - oops I mean Blu-Ray - are out :!:

[killision]

Walked into Granville & Robson FS during my lunch break. Good display of the Superbit deal - entire line-up eligible for the deal organized in one section with multiple copies of each title.

Picked-up Starship Troopers and Spiderman 2 - rung up $12.50 each.

[Sgt_Strider]

is black hawk down any a good one??

It's a good movie with good story line.

[N8Magic]

Whoa, i'm checking this out tonight. :eek:

[soulflare]

Apparently you need to call or e-mail Futureshop once you've ordered the films at their regular prices through the website. I tried grabbing Black Hawk Down even though it wasn't on their list of films, so hopefully they won't try to charge me the full amount or do something stupid like sending the UMD version instead.

[spydaddy]

Spider-man 1 and Black Hawk Down ring in at their regular prices at my local FS (Newmarket). Does anyone have a receipt for either of these that they could scan in?

[ZenOps]

Manager at Chinook would not sell Spiderman1 at the 2 for $25.

Got 6 disks

BHD (two, one is a stocking stuffer), Spiderman2, Lawrence of Arabia (two disk), Air Force One, The Patriot (two disk).

Would have bought fifth element and starship troopers if they had it.

Thanks to the OP.

[McMurphy]

Yeah, Spiderman is not included in this deal, neither is Leon The Professional. Has anyone seen a copy of Starship Troopers Superbit in Toronto?

[warpdrive]

I went looking for Starship Troopers but there doesn't seem to be any in Ottawa. I bought Fifth Element, and Underworld and they rung up as $13 each, but then a $0.50 sale credit was applied to each one.

[GTI]

Metrotown location has them out now.
No Fifth Element even though their computer says there should stock.
Yeah they ring in at $13 each when you get 2 so they have to overide :confused:

[Sgt_Strider]

I didn't see Fifth element as well :(. Maybe it's sold out?

[audit13]

Yeah, Spiderman is not included in this deal, neither is Leon The Professional. Has anyone seen a copy of Starship Troopers Superbit in Toronto?

Yeah, I didn't think Leon was included. In fact, I haven't seen it in the stores I visited (Laird/Eglinton, Keele/St. Clair, and Yonge/Eglinton).

I'm going to go to BB to see if they'll sell Leon and Underworld at $25 for 2.

[makman_2000]

One thing to keep in mind, if you're planning to get The Fifth Element, pick up the Ultimate Edition which is under the 2 for $25 promotion (not the superbit one) instead of the Superbit Edition. The Ultimate Edition's disc 1 is basically the same as the superbit disc(same video and audio) and the second disc has all the extras that the Superbit version doesn't have.

[pawlusho]

Hi,
Concerning the audio portion of both the Ultimate Edition of Fifth Element and the Superbit version being the same, I would agree. But the video quality being the same, I am not sure. I know that the superbit version has closed captioning, whereas the other doesn t. I would like to read some other people s comments about this topic.

The video actually isn't the same; it may even be better.

Has a comparison between Ultimate Edition, Superbit, and UK Special Edition, with a few screenshots as well.

[supergenius]

Yeah, Spiderman is not included in this deal, neither is Leon The Professional. Has anyone seen a copy of Starship Troopers Superbit in Toronto? I guess I got a nice CSR or he made a mistake cause my copy of Leon shipped yesterday ;)

Btw, if anyone is interested, Best Buy in the States now lists all their Superbits at $9.99 and they are showing a much larger selection. I think I might have to shoot over there at lunch.

[ds-]

I ordrered 2 dvds and came out at $60, have to call CS to get it changed now.

[akito925]

I'm looking to get the spiderman 1, starship troopers love that movie, and maybe the One

[ds-]

So I got my price adjusted in a min with no arguments.

I also asked the CS rep if they had Spider-man 1 for the same offer and they said no.

Anyone see it in stores?

[luked]

...waiting on batman...

[audit13]

I ordered Leon The Professional and Bram Stoker's Dracula online. Came out to $68 before tax. Called FS web supprt and spoke to a CSR who submitted a request to have the price reduced to $12.50 per dvd. Hopefully, the request will go through.

I saw a couple of copies of Spiderman 1 at the Keele/St.Clair FS at 8:30 pm yesterday. Not sure if they're still there.

[ciao]

There is a sale that starts this Friday that will include Spider-Man 1 and BHD. Hopefully, they'll stock up before they plaster the sale in their flyer. People don't seem to realize there is a sale on now til Nov. 17 and another starting this Friday which includes the 2 movies above.

[GTI]

Black Hawk Down DVD is not included and rings up at full price. You can try to fight for it.

[TdotO]

Just got Bad Boys I & II for $25.
Might go back and get BHD and another dvd.
BHD is advertised on their site for $19 so can't see why they wouldn't include it in the 2 for $25 deal.
Forgot about Leon when I was there so gotta look for that one.
There were about 3 Spiderman 1 superbits near my place as well as Fifth Element.
Will reveal the location tomorrow after I get my BHD, there was only one left. :D

[GTI]

BHD is advertised on their site for $19 so can't see why they wouldn't include it in the 2 for $25 deal.

That BHD is UMD format. Thats for the playstation portable. If you see the BHD DVD grouped in with the others it's the employees mistake for putting it there. You can try to argue for it and if you're lucky they'll overide it.

[markj]

i got BHD and it scanned at 12.50 at the broadway futureshop in vancouver...the original price was marked $50...

i think they made a mistake with the UMD disc in the ad and it should have been the DVD version...

[GTI]

hmm, this was at Bridgeport, maybe I'll try Broadway.

[Sgt_Strider]

I don't see Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon available in the superbit edition. Anyone else found it in the GVRD area?

[ciao]

Black Hawk Down DVD is not included and rings up at full price. You can try to fight for it.

Shows up on the website, rings in at $50 at Heartland, sticker showed 2 for $25 so they had to correct it. Picked it up today along with Mask of Zoro.

[Taiphun]

No questions asked at Calgary Northland.

BHD, Zorro, Fifth Element, MIB 1, MIB 2, and Spiderman 2.

Thanks for the great deal!

[Fire Man]

Bought four of them at the Mississauga Heartland location. They had all the superbit movies on sale, in stock.

Do you see any"Leon The Professional" in store? I can't find any in 3 stores I went to.

Bought them online, but it rings up 2 for $21!!! Error? Even better deal! :lol:

I did not see any copies at Laird/Eglinton, Keele/St. Clair or Yonge/Eglinton. I looked at BB (Laird/Eglinton) as well but couldn't find it. The BB manager said he would price match FS if I could find a copy in the store. Their inventory system said they had one copy in stock but wasn't in the section.

[ZenOps]

BTW: I peeled back the stickers and found out Black Hawk Down DVD originally had a retail price of $50.99.

Its good to see Superbit discs gaining more acceptance and finally dropping in price - to the point where its basically the same as a "regular" disk.

[fudge_u]

Picked up Bad Boys I & II, The One, Desperado, The Mask of Zorro, Underworld, The Professional, and The Fifth Element.

:D

Bought half of those online and half in-store, and got them all at the 2 for $25 deal too... I got the invoice via email for the online orders.

I was able to order both The Fifth Element SB and Das Boot SB even though they were showing as being out of stock on the website. It's not like any of these discs are out of print, and FS has a tendency of miraculously finding more inventory in their warehouses.

Did The Professional come up as $12.50 or did they have to adjust the price at the register ? Apparently, The Professional is not supposed to be included in the 2 for $25 deal.

Actually.... I saw that some ppl had problems when purchasing Leon in-store so I bought it online, that way I call a CSR about the pricing error and then they notify the powers to be about the error. They can't update the price on the site but they will send an invoice via email.

The movies were sent out right away, so if they did say that Leon wasn't on sale then I would've bitched... "I don't want the movie at regular price... had I known that, that wasn't part of the deal I wouldn't have purchased... etc."

Luckily I didn't have to, and they gave it to me for 12.50... although, they did charge me 12.51 for Underworld.... wtf, eh?

I purchased online as well to avoid the hassle of dealing with the store manager and running around to find the movie in store. I spoke to a csr yesterday who submitted a price adjustment to his supervisor for approval. I called this morning and spoke with another csr who confirmed that the price adjustment has been approved. I looked at my order and it has been "released" but the price is still $33.99. I hope I get it for $12.50; otherwise, I'm returning it.

My order receipt for Leon shows a price of $11.81....not sure how that math works but I'll take it!

[fudge_u]

Must be nice... can't believe they charged me $0.01 extra for Underworld.... I bet the put Leon's status as OOS, cuz people were screwing them over by buying it online. My local store is suppose to get more copies next week.

[spydaddy]

Just got back from the Kennedy Rd FS in Scarborough and a few Spider-man 1's were on the 2 for $25 shelf. Took that and Lawrence of Arabia up to cashier and it didn't scan. I complained that they were on the shelf so she sent me over the the service desk where they changed it :D . They didn't have any BHD there so I'm stuck looking somewhere else.

[supergenius]

BHD now works online, just do a search and add it to your cart. It shows a unit price of $14.99 and can be combined with another superbit for $25. I have 2 Superbit BHD's in my cart right now and it shows a total of $25. I don't think I will order though - great movie but I don't know if I could stomach watching it again!

Here's a link (http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FSM2086564&logon=&langid=EN) to make it easier.

[McMurphy]

They now have a display for all superbit titles at the front of most Future Shop stores. They are $14.99 each or 2 for $25. I saw a guy setting up the display and he had a memo from Future Shop telling him to set up the titles in alphabetical order. So I asked where Leon the Professional was and he said, "If it isn't in the display, it's not on sale. " They didn't have Black Hawk Down or Starship Troopers in stock, but they were supposed to be according to the display memo.

So I went to Best Buy around the corner and they pricematched both those DVD's for $25. Also, be aware that the Das Boot DVD only has the German audio track in DTS and the English is in Stereo Surround. The English 5.1 mix from the original DVD is not on the superbit version.

[audit13]

....

Which BB did you go to ? Anymore copies of Leon ?

[TdotO]

Went to the Vaughn location and they got a nice display of all the superbits.
Picked up BHD, Lawrence of Arabia, Spiderman 2, and Underworld.
They had one copy left of Crouching Tiger and they also have Adaptation on superbit. One copy left of Spiderman 1.
Did not see Leon but didn't look for it on the shelf either.
Also picked up Cinderella, get a tin box with it. This will make it easier for the "boss" to accept my dvd purchases. :cheesygri

[KingCreole]

BHD DVD available at Metrotown. Had about 7 left.

Spiderman 1 is definately included in this deal. I bought it and the sale card above the 2 superbit DVD's for $25 has it in the picture in-store.

[slotscanada]

Prices Updated Online - Now. :)

[hiltzman]

Just picked up Superbit WS copies of Spiderman 1 and 2 at FS in Halifax, $25 for the pair. They did not ring in properly but the CSR manually changed the price for me.

Thanks to the OPfor the heads up...saw lots of titles there including BHD, 5th Element, XXX, etc.

[wlee]

Prices Updated Online - Now. :)
lots of them are "Out of Stock: Will ship when available" online, Richmond Hill FS (Yonge & 16th) had most of them in stock last night :D

[audit13]

My Dracula and Leon The Professional discs are out for delivery. The Leon was for a friend of mine but he got his own copy. I'll probably sell my Leon at cost or return it since I purchased a copy in the US months ago for a lot more. :(

I checked out my online invoice. The GST and PST were calculated using the pre-adjusment price of $67.98 but the invoice states that the total cost before tax is $25. I spoke with a csr and was told that the correct tax will be charged to my account. Seems like they need a better accounting system.

[Awshuks]

Just got Black Hawk Down and Spider-man 1 in store at Yonge/Eg. It came up 2 for $25 at checkout with no problem. So it appears Spider-man 1 does qualify.

[hooky]

In this weeks flyer it advertises the 2 for $25 deal and there's a picture of Spiderman 1 on there along with other superbit movies.

[skategoat]

I just did a price match on these at the Best Buy on Billy Bishop Way (near Yorkdale). I was expecting to get turned down but the csr was very cool about it, checked FS website and asked me if I wanted more than the two I had in my hand. I picked up Fifth Element and The One. He would've given me the 2 for $25 on any Superbit DVD.

YMMV

[wlee]

the sales is still going on, periodic restock in store.

FYI. Walmart has Panic Room superbit for $6.88 (Bayview & Major Mak) :D

[CameraBill]

gattaca and punch drunk love are also superbits

[jshebib]

great, gonna check out Best buy and Futureshop tomorrow.

I just picked up spiderman 1 too, showed up on the rack which wasn't there before.

[akito925]

ohhh my local fs just got starshiptroopers in stock picked that up and picked up the one
now since spiderman 1 is there I'm picking that up also! yeah!!!
tanks for the heads up guys!

has everyone watched all your superbit dvds you have bought??? everyone probally bought more then 2 dvds??

[springroll]

Panic Room and Punch Drunk Love both came out as Superbit initially.
Panic Room got the deluxe 3-disc treatment afterwards.
