Blu ray-$25 for 3 rays shipped (terminator, day after tom. irobot) Price Error-YMMV

[cpus456]

This is a web only deal it seems, but shipping is only 2 bucks

$20.99 for all three

[JayTee1]

Awesome. Thanks for this. I bought it. $8 bucks and change for a BR? Not bad.

[cpus456]

terminator is the big one wanted

have i robot... so thats going to blockbuster for a trade in @ $10 :D

[BajoFuego]

Same deal available for the Funny Guy Collection (Napoleon Dynamite, Office Space, Young Frankenstein) and Jock Collection (Dodgeball, Hoosiers, Rocky).

While these aren't OMG spectacular titles, I agree that at roughly $8/title with shipping, it's not too shabby. Some of these titles are actually cheaper in the sets than being bought in the 2/$x0 campaign with the Fox $7 trade-in at HMV.

Thanks, good eye. Almost ordered it, save the hassle to return it. So the description/title is wrong on Bestbuy's website.

[BajoFuego]

What's interesting is all three collections listed for $20.99 are titled as Blu-Ray Collections and identical to their $61.99 counterparts.

We may not have been mistaken after all as these are most likely priced-down catalogue entries. Notice the release date is tomorrow? This detail can also be confirmed at Blu-Ray.com:

Action: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movies.php?id=4350
Funny Guy: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movies.php?id=4354
Jock: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/movies.php?id=4356

Looks like the deal is stil hot.

They're definitely Blu-Ray. And the same deal is available at Future Shop.

[Fanboy]

Hmmm. The associated image on both Futureshop and Best Buy is for the DVD collection as is the pricing... I think a bunch of people are going to get "Typo! We're sorry!" emails.

Here is the box art for the Blu Ray version:

same deal? for $61.99 at FS

http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FSM2164523&catid=

[Mike71]

Looks like a decent deal. $28.09 tax in, ordered...thanks OP:)

[nitro0610]

Guys, if you look at the image on the website clearly then you'll find that the $20.99 is for DVD as the pic clearly does NOT have blu-ray title bar across the top!

Look at the $61.99 image and it'll show blu-ray title bar across the top of the box so I believe it's just a typo on BB's part.

Also the description on the $20.99 only says DVD features whereas the $61.99 says "Blu-ray features" instead of "DVD features"~

[yhap2003]

This IS the DVD collection NOT the BLU-RAY collection.

[BajoFuego]

Again, these collections are scheduled on Blu-Ray release calendars for tomorrow.

Example of the Future Shop listing for Funny Guy collection:

http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FSM2164586&catid=14720

At $20.99, they're competitive markdowns for titles that are not as feature-laden.

[aos007]

$20 for 3 DVD is a reasonable assumption given typical prices. As is $60 for 3 BRs. $20 per BR is already considered a "competitive markdown" by studios as majority of titles is $20 or over. Given the incorrect title it is possible the salesman may not bother checking and will just give you the BR version, in which case good luck!

[Tornado F2]

This IS the DVD collection NOT the BLU-RAY collection.

Yeah. Take the description on the BB product page, do a search for the UPC code, and you'll see it's a DVD collection that's about to be released.

NOT BR.

[djino]

Boo!!! I was about to jump on this.

djino

[JayTee1]

Yeah. Take the description on the BB product page, do a search for the UPC code, and you'll see it's a DVD collection that's about to be released.

But in my confirmation email it says:
Action Hero Blu-ray Collection (2004) 1 $20.99

So I guess one can technically argue that?

[Tornado F2]

If there's a confirmed BR equivalent for $60+ then an argument is all you're likely to get. This is definitely DVD pricing.

Yes they are being released tomorrow, but what you have linked to is the DVD version of the set. The BR version is http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FSM2164585&catid=24080.

One could argue via typo but the vast majority are not going to get this.

[kool1]

Was going to order but I don't feel like arguing it or dittling around if I get the DVDs. Not worth the hassle, I have seen all of these anyway.

[Formula1]

How about the OP change thread title.

[Paranoidandroid]

Would they honor the price due to a mistake on their part? I don't know why BB would bundle the three blurays for $60 when they are worth half that much...

[cpus456]

How about the OP change thread title.

Changed the title, but im hoping that at the very least they ship the DVDs, then ill go there and switch them up for Blus.

They should honor this - FS did months back with the Harry Potter collection, it anyone remembers ;)

[Tornado F2]

It's not a price error. They just made a mistake in the description. The UPC code is definitely for the DVD collection.

Worse case is they ship me the SD DVD collection and I go BB for a refund and they don't refund the shipping cost (which I doubt). Best case is I get the BLU RAY discs in the shipment or need them to admit a mistake and keep me as a happy customer.

[thematrix49]

I did the pre-order for the Miami Vice/U571/End of days BR 3 pack which was initially set with the DVD pricing. They ended up shipping it with no problems.

However If I recall correctly, it was listed under BR on the website. The issue here is that while it says BR, it is listed under the DVD section and it is likely that it will ship using the DVD product code from the warehouse. You may still have a good shot having it adjusted back at the store.

[merciscool]

what was the name of the collection with End of days and Miami Vice called?

[Vinman]

2012:lol::lol: BR may be obsolete by then

It already is, and studios have admitted this by including digital copies with the BR disk.

[grappos13]

what was the name of the collection with End of days and Miami Vice called?

i think it was a 3 action pack as well..

it was 25.99 and it was actually priced wrong.. it was the blu-ray UPC as well...

same happened for a troy and 10,000 BC one where it was like 15.99... priced wrong but still had blu-ray UPC

[MyLifeInBrampton]

Got it at the Bestbuy Dundas & Yonge location for $20.99 (23.72 inclusing taxes) thanks.

This was the only one I saw.

my "Blu-ray" collection shipped today via purolator.

Same here......gonna wait and see what comes in and exchange for blu-rays if dvds come in, as receipt clearly states blu-ray!!

[cpus456]

Yeah, mine shipped aswell
Eager to see what comes in :)

[drawde]

Purolator just rang my doorbell.........I answered............got my package of...............Action Hero Collection "DVD" set!!!

:(

Gonna have to go to best buy and see if i can get them to exchange for a blu-ray set as that is what my receipt clearly says!!

Just a pain.....

[scubb]

I think $25 is not a good rate i bought it last week at $10.

[Flux]

I think $25 is not a good rate i bought it last week at $10.

got the br ver for 17 or 18 2wks ago

seems they have fixed the title

[drawde]

Just came back from Best Buy Richmond Hill location. Brought my Action Hero Collection DVD set with my online receipt that says blu-ray. Some chick processed it, told me to get the blu-ray set off the shelf.

Done deal......no questions asked, i now have my blu-ray set!!!

:cheesygri

[Mike71]

i just got mine and its the stupid DVD set and there is no best buy near to me. Oh well, have to wait until I can get to a store I guess.

[drawde]

Depending on where u live and how many people have done this and are waiting to exchange.....i wouldn't wait too long.

I took the only blu-ray set from the Richmond Hill location......they are now out of stock at that location.

If they cant exchange it, they will refund you, but that will just make the whole thing a waste of your time.....

[simsin]

yea im going to go do it aswell

[JoeyB]

Since Terminator is the only great movie in this set-
you're basically paying $25 for one old movie
(even it was Blu-Ray that's A RIPOFF

/I use IMDB (http://www.IMDB.COM) for a guideline to my collection-
If it doesn't have at least a 7 median it's probably not very good and even with more than a 7 there's a bunch of clunkers. :razz:

Just because you think that Terminator is the only good movie in this set....does not mean that this is a rip off.

If you don't like the other 2 movies.....then obviously this set is not for you.

I like all 3 movies so this is a great deal.

[towhytea]

Day after tomoro was actually a pretty good movie and I would imagine on blu it would look amazing. Irobot is an alright movie and its either tier 1 or 0 which is reference quality which makes it a blu that a lot of people want for their collection.

[Vinman]

For those getting the exchange, this is not a bad deal.

Sure, The Terminator is the only classic action flick of the bunch, but I find both Day After Tomorrow and I.Robot to be in the same class as Poseidon and Next - certainly not great movies, but immensely watchable, especially in HD.

initially CSR wanted me to pay the difference, but I told him invoice says BLU-RAY and bluffed saying BB on-line customer service said if it is a price error store should honor pricing, so in the end it worked out easily

[Limech]

The sad thing in all this is that this blu-ray collection "should" be priced at around $30.

I have a PS3 but I'm boycotting buying movies until the prices come down.

There's some especially old movies, and some that aren't that awesome either that are $20 more on blu-ray. Why? I mean who would pay $20 more to see the Truman Show in HD?

DVD $6.99 http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=L&langid=EN&sku_id=0926INGFSM2094683&catid=20449
Blu-ray $26.99 http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=L&langid=EN&sku_id=0926INGFSM2158476&catid=24103

Does it really cost $20 more to produce a blu-ray disc? They charged us more for DVD than VHS but DVDs were cheaper to produce but at least, the jump from VHS to DVD was worth it to some extent.

I just don't get it, especially in this economy. Want to screw me over like the music industry did, well, you know what happened to them. Took them a while to realize what they needed to do.

its because it was recently released as a blu-ray... goo look at when truman show came out for DVD, im sure it was like $25.... just look now at new releases and ull see that blu-rays r usually only 7 dollars more or so... ppl buy new release DVDs at like $24.99 still... 10+ years after dvds have been popular...

and plus, u can get newer release blu-rays used for like $15 at rogers usually...

[Flux]

got mine exchange in-store as well

[TedEdFred]

I did this about a month ago but mine was for the Funny Guy set. They were not going to give me Blu Ray, I ordered for store pickup. I got my gf to bicker with them as we drove 45 minutes into Regina from Moose Jaw. I felt bad but I was happy that finally a store honored their mess up. It wasn't the gift set but they gave us each movie individually. Napolean Dynamite, Young Frankenstein and Little Miss Sunshine. I've watched all 3 and am very happy with the $22 or whatever it cost.

[cpus456]

Brought mine in and exchanged no problem
Get this - they even refunded shipping because if the "in convienience "they caused

Worked out well

FYI:I robot has a trade value of 9 dollars at bb
