Where do you buy your movies?

[Todd Anderson]

Speaking specifically about 4K UHD BDs, BD, and DVDs... where you do buy your movies?

The Poll allows you to select more than one choice...so respond and tell us your most frequently used option (and why).

For me, it's Amazon...with eBay coming in second. I use Amazon because of Prime... and typically pre-order movies before they ship (which guarantees day-of delivery on release days). I save eBay (sometimes half.com) for older titles that I'm looking to collect (although the used offerings on Amazon usually take care of older titles, too... not to mention new discs of old titles often cost just as little).

I purchase at Best Buy mainly because they price match and I earn Reward Points. On occasion for the harder to find titles I also use Amazon. There's just something about going into the store and putting hands on it first.

Do they price match Amazon?

Do they price match Amazon?

Yes, if it's Amazon and not a third party.

 

[Todd Anderson]

So you show them the price on a phone, I assume?

Yes sir.

 

[Todd Anderson]

Hmm...I might need to give Best Buy another try.

Wal-Mart also price matches Amazon but again not the third party vendors. The Rewards Points are a nice perk for Best Buy though.

Walmart, Amazon and Best Buy are the three that I go to usually in that order.

Amazon and Ebay, I like movies delivered to my house, and frankly they are the only main groups where I can find movies like A Boy and His Dog and Altered States

Yup, except swap the first and last for me. Walmart recently dropped to the bottom of the list for me, because our local branch can't seem to keep new BD releases in stock anymore. I'm not sure if it's just a matter of not enough stock in the first place, or if there are just that many more fans out there buying up BD titles.

Yup again, presents in the mail, woo hoo !!

Almost exclusively Amazon... price and convenience. Plus... I pre-order a lot and if the prices ever drops I get the lowest price.

It gets shipped so I get it on the day of release... I don't have to worry with going to Walmart on Tuesdays, which is the only place within a few minutes of me to get Blu-rays.

pawn shops, walmart, amazon, ebay, anywhere I can get a deal. I'm a blend of Jewish and Scottish descent, so I'll let that hint be enough to figure out my deal hunting nature

 

[Todd Anderson]

Not surprising Amazon is well represented... that more than 50% of online shoppers search Amazon first, and that the company accounted for nearly 45% of all online sales last year.

That's some serious selling power.

 

[Michael Scott]

yup, they're the new Walmart for selling (back in the DVD days walmart alone did 40% of disc sales)

 

[JBrax]

I always check Amazon's price before handing over my money.

Amazon, Walmart, and Costco seem to have the best prices for the movies that our family tends to buy (Disney, Marvel, Dreamworks, etc). eBay for older movies we can't seem to find anywhere else.

 

[Mark C Flick]

I'd say I usually buy on Amazon though there is the occasional impulse buy from Walmart or other B&M.
