What store (or where) do you purchase most of your DVDs at?

Post by katielb »

Just curious!

I like to buy mine from Best Buy. I bought Mary Poppins at Walmart last weekend when it was on sale for $14.96. However, I have yet to buy anything from the Disney Store. I'm interested in using eBay to try and get a hold of some of the older movies that are currently in the vault. How many of you have taken this route?

Wal-Mart mainly. Sometimes the Amazon.com or Walmart.com.

Mostly Amoeba Records and Best Buy for Walt Disney library titles, as Target and the rest don't carry that part of the catalog as a rule (but I'll buy Walt's major animated features at Target when they are on sale as reissued).

I'm glad Best Buy has such a large classic title inventory.

Pawn Shops.

They are like the best place to find OOP movies in the world. Not to mention you can get in print movies for as low as 2 bucks (what I paid not too long ago for a copy of Hunchback on DVD). The majority of my collection was bought used. As long as I can inspect the discs I am happy. Why spend an extra 10-15 dollars just to open the shrink wrap?

Wal Mart mainly.

I no longer shop at Best Buy for reasons I don't care to discuss.

Where to purchase Disney DVDs

Post by Mouseketodd »

I try to purchase new releases when they first come out, because they're on sale. I mostly buy those at Best Buy.

If I've decided to buy a title that has been out for any length of time, I tend to buy them from DeepDiscount.com or from Best Buy.

Still, I do shop around, so occasionally, I'll purchase DVDs at Wal-Mart and Target.

I have purchased DVDs and VHS editions from eBay and Half.com. I don't recall having any problems from these purchases. I've gotten legitimate Disney products, and I'll continue shopping at these sites when the price is right.

Although I work at a Disney Store, I buy new releases from Wal-Mart because I can get them for much cheaper than using my measly 10% discount at work. Sometimes I can't resist the lithograph giveaways, however.

As for older releases that I missed, I still usually get them from Wal Mart, or Target. They always go on sale for $14.99 eventually.

Zellers mostly since my Dad works their and gets an employee discount :)

Aside from that Blockbuster if I'm on a budget or a Pawn Shop. I used to shop at Cd Plus but they are soooo expensive so I only order movies through them if I can't find them anywhere else.

Unless I can only find them at other places, I tend to always buy my DVDs at Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Target, and Circuit City. They mainly have the best prices and the most 5 dollars and under type deals, which I LOVE. I never buy used DVDs because I have had problems with them in the past, though I might if I was desperate enough to get something. Anyway, of the four stores I mentioned, it's tough to say which I buy from the most, but probably either Best Buy or Wal-Mart.
