Best Price For Star Wars Trilogy DVDs

Well...the 21st is just around the bend. I haven't seen any store flyers yet advertising sale prices for the SW set but I'm sure that the box will be very affordable in the first week of release. Retail seems to be around $80+.

Who has (or will have) the best prices out there?

Online, Best Buy and Buy.com are both advertising $44.95 for pre-order. Blockbuster has an in-store promo for the set plus 7 rentals for $59.

May the force be financially with us.

 

Hey there Kevin, good to have you back 'round

Yep, just 3 short weeks away. I would imagine we'll see $44.99 as lowest advertised price, but you may catch Wal-Mart and Target doing a battle at $39.99 the first day.

 

Amazon has had a $41.99 preorder price (with free shipping) for awhile now.

Haven't preordered mine yet, but will probably do it through my own Associates account to make back a few percent.

I think Deep Discount DVD had a nearly identical price as well.

 

Well the list price is $70. I'd hope retailers aren't adding $10 to list.

 

Wow $70 is outrageous. That would be like $23 a movie. I expect to get it at Best Buy when it comes out for around $40-$50. $44.99 seems most likely to me.

 

I won't tell you what I pre-ordered it for at the Fox Studio Store on the lot...

 

Ken - Do you know if Best Buy includes these bonuses with online orders?

 

last Laserdisc release only is giving up....

 

$69.98 is the list price. $41.99 at Amazon is a good deal--I still haven't preordered, but with my kids on a Star Wars kick right now, I may go ahead and preorder it while the price is still low. Works out to $14/disc, and it's free shipping too.

 

What format are you going to order wide screen or full screen?

 

Yes I believe you are correct. Right now you can pre-order the set on BestBuy.com for $44.99.

And yes, at least if you pre-order the set from BestBuy.com you get this as a bonus. My assumption is that this will also be available when the set is released for sale at Best Buy.

 

Wide Screen all the way!!!! (And I will personally get my copy at BestBuy on day or release - that is if they have the best price - with the assumption you get the R2-D2 bonus disc).

 

$23/movie is now considered "outrageous"???

 

For me? Wiiiiiiiiiiiiidescreen. My girls don't care one way or the other--my 5-year-old loves the dialog. "Will someone get that walking carpet out of here?" And, "Laugh it up, fuzzball!"

 

suncoast has it for 44.99 if you preorder it, i already did.

 

Just preordered mine from the Best Buy site, and online orders do include the free mockumentary.

 

Interesting--just checked the weekly print ads for Target and Best Buy. Unless I missed it, neither one shows the Trilogy.

I may go ahead and do my Amazon order tonight, while the preorder price is still $41.99. Locally, I'd have to get it for less than $39.61 for it to be a deal (since tax is 6% here).

The "bonus" disc doesn't interest me.

 

It's a week too early. Why promote something not on sale for another week when there are other things to promote that are on sale.

PS.
When you do get it, you won't be sorry!

 

Deep Discount DVD just sent me shipping confirmation. $41.88 total (no tax, no shipping).

Can't wait.

...the prices are great but the shipping id horendous! I could walk it faster...Doe the PO hold it or something? Never less than 10 days from point of destination...

 

Cruds...I picked the wrong week again! I keep thinking this set is Sept. 14, not 21. My mistake!

 

Grab your Sunday papers so you can pricematch at your store of choice: CompUSA, of all places, has the set listed at $39.99. I gave up on CompUSA years ago after getting gypped on rebates and dealing with ridiculous re-stock fees, so I'll be buying it at Best Buy by pricematching against the CUSA price.
