This irritates the shit out of me. Every Sunday I got online to see who is going to have the best deal on the movies I want. And Target does this shit all the time they will put the new movies in their ad but just say Low Price instead of listing the fucking price. Besy Buy does this in their circular that mails out but because their site is so awesome you can still get the price regardless of their ad sucking (I go on Besybuy.com and add movies to a pick up list to see if they have them in store that is an awesome feature).

I mean the whole fucking point of an advertisement is to fucking tell me what you sale prices are on your movies but fucking low price tells me nothing. When Target does that I always go to Best Buy because I can find out what Best Buys price is. Your not luring me away from the competition with your ad your driving me to them you stupid fucking marketing geniuses. Hey look lets just put low price in the ad.

Any avid DVD collector knows the best time to buy movies is to buy them the first week when they will be on sale. So instead of paying $19.99 you are paying anywhere from $14.99-17.99. That is changing a little bit though nowdays you can wait a month and be almost guaranteed a sale for $14.99 on most popular movies than you can wait 4-6 months and that same movie will be $10 in an ad. I have gone this route with most tv dvds as they are ussually still $40 their first week marked down from just $45-50. Wait six months and they will be $20-25. For example I waited on 24 Season 6 and this week its on ad for $24.99, too bad I am too broke to buy it guess I will have to wait tell its on ad for $19.99.

i agree whole heartedly!

I look at the 3 major ad's (CC, BB & Target) to compare where i am going to buy (well.. i just look at CC to see if im going to price match... cuz fuck ever shopping in that store)

and it annoys the shit out of me when they dont list what the price is going to be for the new release i want to pick up!
