Title: Circuit City score Post by: The Burgomaster on February 19, 2009, 07:05:41 AM Yes, it's true . . . as mentioned in an earlier thread, Circuit City DID mark some prices up to the MSRP before applying the liquidation discount. If you try to buy a recently released DVD there, it will generally be $21.95 to $29.95, minus a 40% discount (so, no real savings). But if you grab some of the older, cheaper titles, the 40% discount is worth it. I got 5 DVDs yesterday and the total bill was $29.95 (not even any sales tax, because I bought them in New Hampshire).
I got: * GHOSTS OF MARS * NEVADA SMITH * FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER * BUG (the one directed by William Friedkin - - I already have the old Bradford Dillman schlock-fest) * TWO FOR THE MONEY I compared the prices to Deep Discount DVD's website, which I find to be the overall cheapest place to buy DVDs. I paid about $13.00 less at Circuit City than I would have at Deep Discount. So, overall, not a bad score.

Title: Re: Circuit City score Post by: The Burgomaster on February 22, 2009, 03:15:23 PM I went to a different Circuit City yesterday and the DVDs are now 50% off. The selection wasn't great, but I picked up APPALOOSA for $11.00 and HARD TARGET for $3.50.
Title: Re: Circuit City score Post by: Joe the Destroyer on February 23, 2009, 04:02:04 AM I didn't get anything too grand. I scored a cheap copy of Genji for PS2, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, and Lake Placid.
Title: Re: Circuit City score Post by: Torgo on February 23, 2009, 04:47:59 AM The Circuit City near where I live have their dvd's marked down 50%. They were a bit picked over but I did manage to snag the following titles: FLASH GORDON (Savior of the universe edition) for 10 bucks, Jet Li's FEARLESS (director's cut) for 6 dollars, KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE for 3.50, SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT (special edition) for 4, A SIMPLE PLAN for 3 and a MY BLUE HEAVEN / THE MAN WITH TWO BRAINS flipper disc for 3.
