For those interested, JB Hi-Fi are selling the Boardwalk Empire BD for $26.98. It was in today's Herald Sun but I am not sure how long this is for. I assume it will last until Sunday but you best check to be sure.

Yes its until Sunday as noted on JB site

That is so good!

Yes, Boardwalk Empire is a great show. And that's a great price for the season one set.

[kurgan]

So, anyone who bit the bullet and ordered Boardwalk Empire from JB in the past couple of days had their bluray ship?

Not that I am surprised that it hasn't but 3 days for an 'In Stock' item is beyond pathetic.

[Chopsus]

To be expected - JB you failed to do it again!

Mines still "in progress" and yes it's been 3 days

Target is offering 20% off DVDs and BDs till Sunday. Their ticketed prices are similar to JB so it's not a massive saving but if there's a title you're after, maybe paying 20% less could be worth a visit.

According to another forum piost. Its actually a distributer price cut by half due to poor sales. Even though it was only relesed around 3 weeks ago.

The way Australian retailers and distributors work it may mean there is a mastering error and they are betting most wont notice and a large slice of those who do wont be motivated to do anything about it.

When I used to work for national, multi brand, retailer the strategy for large quantaties of dodgy product quality was to "Red Light Special" them as we knew only a small proportion would be returned ..... sad to say this used to also be done with stock where there was a high possibility we would be advised (health dept, fair trading or others) not to continue selling it .... so managments mantra was :"sell as much as we can, while we can"

Target are having 20% DVD/Bluray off until Tomorrow, as I am sure has been noted elsewhere.

Picked up Johnny English: Reborn triple-play pack from Target for $23.20. It's currently $35-ish at JB.

I found my shipping notice in the junk mail which is a little odd as they haven't gone there in the past.
Ordered 25th recieved item today(30th) which is pretty good seeing as there was a public holiday and weekend in there

Edit - The item was not well padded considering it's a box set in cardboard slipcase I'm very lucky that the slipcase is not dented.

[kurgan]

Yeah, mine arrived today as well. No email to say shipped at all...

Agree. Purchased mine in store and did notice the slip case is over sized/taler than normal. Due to the size of the limited edition photobook being bigger than the standard blu-ray case.

Are you calling Unstoppable a blurfest?

[kulfi]

The DSE website shows some films at $8 if you search for all BluRays and sort on price. Some of the 3 for $30 movies are included in the $8 list.

[Dr.Taco]

American Gangster was only $8 @ my store

[rennmaxbeta]

Under $10 is a good price for any BR movie. Under $20 for a TV show season.

Buy 2 Get 1 Free on selected titles at JBHIFI 275 to choose from, haven't had a chance to look through them yet but hopefully there's something worthwhile in there

[kurgan]

Damn, isn't it always the way. I can get 2 titles, but am nowhere close to getting the 3rd...Bugger!

[kulfi]

Easy way out. Go to your nearest JB with your mates and buy 3 (or even 6 films) in one transaction.
