OK, was at Bestbuy yesterday and I was like a kid in a candy store. Yeah I know they lost the format war, but at many, many titles starting at $7.99, if you have an HD DVD player it's a no brainer. I walked out with 8 new HD DVDs and one new Blu-ray for under $100 with tax. I kid you not!

Forget Futureshop, we went over there and all their HD DVDs they have left are still $32 or whatever. This is weird considering they're the same company. But for Canadians who haven't checked out their local Bestbuy store lately, you're in for a treat. Imagine... Clerks 2 - 2 disk set, 40 Year old virgin, etc. for $7.99... like half the price of the normal DVD! Nice.

Have to agree with you there Hawk, why buy them later on Blu-Ray for three times the price. Too bad I don't live in Canada.

LOL, believe me, I think this is the first time I've actually been glad to be in Canada because of HD disk prices.

It's about time we got our deals

BruceAmes, HD DVD has brought me "happiness" for almost 2 years now. No, I'm not one of those who spent $99 for my player plus 5 free movies last fall. I had to spend about 6 times that amount... but no regrets. I've been enjoying HD now for some time... and I can't settle for less anymore. Spoiled you might say

Being a avid supporter Sky, you deserve it! I wish the best buys in the US had the same deals

Which one Sky?

The one by work here seems to have missed the memo

Hmm... I just checked BestBuy.ca online, and they don't even list the titles I got for $7.99 for any price. The cheapest prices start at $12.99. It's possible that stores were offerred the chance to send these now missing titles "back", or hold fire sales. At $7.99, I'd imagine that these disks would disappear pretty quick, so I'd just check/call another store.
