Do you buy Blockbuster's DVD's and Blu-ray deals?

Apr 27, 2012 1:18 AM

I see a lot of DVDs and Blu-Rays listed on here. I tend to buy a lot of my Blu-Ray movies (and DVDs) from Blockbuster for the 5 for $20 deal they have. They're used, but they offer a 30 day guarantee and I can get 5 Blu-Ray movies for $4 each. I haven't had any problems with them, but I don't hear of many other people doing the same? Why don't people take advantage of this deal? Is it because they don't have a blockbuster near them anymore? Even at my blockbuster I don't see many people shopping the deals tables though, and there are easily 200-300 different selections on them.

I do not buy them, most likely because I am never in a Blockbuster. My daughter buys them all the time, she calls them her thirty day rentals...

Yep, most of my DVDs have a previewed sticker on them. Never had any problems.

No blockbuster within 1 hour from here...so I have to say no.

Blockbuster recently closed about 70-80% of their locations. But I've bought quite a few used movies from them in the past, when they had good deals, or during the liquidation sales, when stuff hit a sweet spot after a couple price drops.

lol, I used to, years ago.
a month or two ago, two local blockbusters were being shut down, and each week the dvds and blurays got cheaper and cheaper. I bought a few blurays at $5.99, about 8 when they hit $4.99, another dozen at $2.99, and while the pickings were slim the last few days, I got about 15 more at $1.99.

Bought many used DVDs at Blockbuster over the years. Most of the more "obscure" titles look like they were never rented.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
