Well I went back to see what I missed out on. Turns out there wasn't really any advantage (shipping wise) to having everything together so I purchased 4 more BDs. Dark Angel being one of them, which was $11.99 before the 15% discount.

Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

I don't go to Best Buy but if they don't sell movies and the like. Are they just going to be a low/mid range appliance/electronics store?

From what I read from people who supposedly work there, BB will only carry new release CDs and Movies. They no longer want to waste retail space on older titles that don't sell.

Doesn't really surprise me. Personally I'm not the biggest fan of BB so having less of a reason to go in there certainly doesn't bother me. Their return policy is a joke and their customer service complete crap at times. Honestly I'm surprised they haven't phased out software altogether in favor of their high profit marked up electronics and household appliances.

I was just reading today about how much trouble they're in and they probably won't be around in 5 years. They have a new CEO who's making a lot of changes to try and save them. They're supposed to be revamping the website.

I got my shipping notice today, I chose the cheapest option so we'll see how it goes.

That's cool. Are you one of those slipcover guys? Or do you just flip them?
My H3 is delayed because they ran out of stock.

I've seen people selling just the slip covers on eBay and getting like $5 for them, crazy.
I usually don't care about them but on the Scream Factory and Disney films I like to have them.

I like the slipcovers too. Especially on the Scream Factory and Disney titles like you as well as my WB Animated films. If the slipcover has different artwork than the actual BD I really like those too. Same goes for the lenticular or foil/holographic slips. I know some are indifferent in regards to them and while not essential I do like to have them whenever possible. I'd never pay for them separately however. That's a bit more obsessive compulsive than I am with them.

I'm guilty of buying 2 Disney slipcovers, I joined the Disney movie club and 2 of the movies were missing the slip covers.
