    I miss Circuit City, Best Buy sucks now.
    When Circuit City was around, I'd anxiously await Sunday so I could check both places weekly ads, where both tried to outdo the other with great DVD deals. 20, 30, 40 DVDs on sale for $9.99, $6.99, $4.99...

    With CC out of the picture, Best Buy doesn't even pretend like they care anymore. Every week they have about 4 DVDs on sale that everyone already has (Wow, Godfather and Scarface on DVD, never would have added those over the last 10 years).

    Competition is good. Best Buy sucks.

        Of course they aren't.

        They we're, however, the two best when it came to weekly ad sales. I've built a collection of over 400 DVDs without ever spending more than $9.99 on a DVD, and much more often even less.

        Finding great deals on used DVDs is fun, and plenty of other places sell DVDs as well, but these were the best.

        If you know of any places that sell new DVDs at more competitive prices, please share them.

            People with extensive collections that don't feel like making the extremely expensive transition to blu-ray when DVD quality is still perfectly adequate?

            Don't question Blu-ray's superiority at all, just don't feel the need to spend thousands of dollars on them at this point.

                              To make dorm life easier, I've long since stored all me DVDs in convenient binders so I don't have to lug all those cases everywhere I go .

                                  most movies are crap anyway, not worth owning.

                                  i plan on eventually setting up a multimedia server and having at least a terabyte hard drive with nothing but movies in 720p.

                                              Both are garbage companies. CC was overpriced to the max on their higher electronics.

                                                  Best Buy still is good for computers, tvs, ect Circuit City was solid but I see little difference between the two other than best Buy has more product.

                                                      Who the f!@# buys DVD's anymore. If you like the movie, rent it at Blockbuster and rip a copy of it before you bring it back. I guess you can clip coupons for your mom's trip to the grocery store Dave now that you can't get a hard on comparing Sunday circulars anymore.

I guess you can clip coupons for your mom's trip to the grocery store Dave now that you can't get a hard on comparing Sunday circulars anymore.
                                                        how do you rip and burn DVD's now a days? i used to have a program that worked well, but it stopped working and quit doing it..
