New Release Blu-rays for £9.99 instore at Borders! inc. Quantum Of Solace

[Disappearer]

No idea if this is nationwide, but my local Borders store (Bournemouth) had a bunch of new release Blu-rays racked up at £9.99 while the DVD versions sat next to them at £14.99! Titles I spotted included:

- Quantum Of Solace
- Defiance
- Frost/Nixon
- The Duchess
- Body Of Lies
- Day The Earth Stood Still (new one)

Certainly the cheapest I've seen a lot of these discs,

[Sheepking]

Looks like its nationwide.

Glasgow fort have just reserved the last copy of defiance for me for £9.99

[Kevin]

Typical,

Have been looking for a decent deal on The Day The Earth Stood Still for a while (£17.98 cheapest online), and there is no Borders within 40 miles from me, and it doesn't even show on their online site...

Ah well :cry:

[Tony Ferrino]

That's annoying, I would like a few of those but the Bullring is still closed after a chemical leak scare!

[Ds3]

Good prices and definitely nationwide - have reserved Defiance and QoS in the Cambridge store and will send the Mrs in tomorrow to collect. Cheers Disappearer.

I saw it on the news today, its only just behind the tape, take a deep breath and run for it. ;)

Its open now :thumbs:

[Tony Ferrino]

Cool, might pop in in the morning to have a look.

They done you a favor mate :)

Cracking prices. I'll try to pick up Quantum Of Solace and Defiance tomorrow :thumbs:

[ellispa]

Cheers to the OP on this one.

Picked up Changeling, Defiance and Frost/Nixon at the Llantrisant store last night. QofS was out of stock, but even so, £30 for the 3 new releases is a right bargain and no mistake!

[keithb]

Went to Fort Kinnaird today to pick this up. Staff handing out 10% discount vouchers which I believe are nationwide. Got Solace for £9. Also picked up Bourne Trilogy for £7.19 on HD DVD, only one in stock though

[Ste7en]

Well, I just rang my two local(ish) ones.

One had none left because someone bough a ******** of them yesterday.

One had none left because shoplifters whipped 3k worth of stock last week.

Oh, well...

[davidsi]

Thanks - just picked up the last quantum of solace at the london colney branch...

[Ds3]

Mrs has picked up my Defiance and QofS from Cambridge today, got the 10% off as well so both for under £18 - silly money for new release Blu-rays :D

[Dragon Ninja]

Any word on when this'll finish??

[Kevin]

Anybody feeling in a generous Bankholiday mood and would like to pick me up a copy of The Day The Earth Stood Still ?

Would happily pay you whatever it cost you (not sure if it's £8.99 or £9.99 at the mo) plus a couple of ££ postage.

Can pay by BT or PayPal gift, whichever suits.

Many thanks,
Kevin.

[Cenobite]

All still full price at Gateshead

[Scott C R]

Thanks OP, Just picked up Body Of Lies, Fargo, Mummy 3. Also got Indy 4 which was £14.99 but still a good deal at Fort Kinnaird.

[Ste7en]

All still full price at Gateshead

Odd... that was one of the stores I rang. The one that had sold out at 9.99 a pop :thinking:

[daz100]

Went yesterday full price in Birmingham.

[Kwebbotaurus]

so is Silence of the Lambs in this offer as well as Fargo?

[TigaSefi]

There's a borders in Oxford Circus, will they have this offer ?

[MrBrady]

The staff at Colney told me that there was set amount of stock going for £9.99 on selected titles, once that had sold out the remaining stock would be full price. I got 'Frost/Nixon' which is what I went in for.

[ysp5]

I went into Oxford Street, London yesterday, and they had loads of QOS behind the tills. The discs that were on the Ground Floor all had £22 on them, with BRs marked at around the same, but then i went to the 3rd floor and the had labels on them marking them down to £9.99.
I asked the guy if they had QOS, he said no sold out too. SO i picked up a copy of Twilight for £9.99 and when i got to the till i asked the guy if he had QOS, and if by magic he went under the till, said he had loads and scanned it in for £9.99.
Twilight by the way scanned in at £14.99, but as it had a £9.99 label he typed some code in and it £9.99 too.
Bit of a story I know, hope it helps someone pick up a bargain or two.

[Ds3]

I can vouch for that too actually, when I phoned Cambridge and asked them to check stock on Defiance the chap came back on the phone and said there was none on the shelves. Then as an after thought he said he'd go and check behind the tills and call me back, which he did having found a stash of them hidden away!

[Rollocop]

QOS still £25 on their website.

Pity my nearest outlet is £5 worth of petrol away - kind of defeats the purpose going !!!

[ghost.ottercrab]

Cheers, picked up Body of Lies and Changeling from the Leicester store.

[Madm@tt]

Thanks very much for this OP, picked up Casino Royale, QoS, Frost/Nixon and Waltz with Bashir for £8.99 each with student discount at the Cambridge store.

[SShaw]

Thanks OP.

Picked up Waltz with Bashir, W., Goldfinger, Dr. No and World is Not Enough at the Bristol store.

[jroadley]

Anyone know if this running in the Chapelfield store in Norwich?

[Ste7en]

Someone on the AVForums got the X-Men set for 9.99 :eek:

[Scott C R]

Yep X-Men Trilogy is in the offer for an amazing £9.99.

[Psycho]

Can anyone pick me up the X-Men Trilogy for £9.99?

Thanks,

Psycho :nuts:

[jroadley]

To answer my own question (And help anyone else out)

Yes - the Borders in Chapelfield does have a very small selection of £9.99 titles, and I got Ed Norton Hulk for £7.99

[Tafsir]

Can anyone pick me up the X-Men Trilogy for £9.99?

Thanks,

Psycho :nuts:


i think this will be pretty hard too get hold off , for this price
went too my local this morning, none on the self, asking at the desk, the guy had a look around, none left, & he does not now if anymore are going too come in either

[Ste7en]

I just got The Promise for a tenner. Nothing much else in though...

[jroadley]

What I don't understand is, there were other titles there full price? I though perhaps Borders were selling of their stock or something.

Bizarre - but all good!

[Ste7en]

If they were selling off their stock it would probably be DVDs and not a relatively new format in all honesty.

I've been told:

i) it is a new pricing strategy, to be held indefinitely
ii) it is for a limited time only
iii) it is until all the allocated 'reduced' stocks have gone

Option iii looks to be the most likely IMO.

EDIT: Deffo looks that way to me. I've just been to the Team Valley one and got:

Changeling 9.00 quid
Fargo 9.00 quid
Little Miss Sunshine 9.00 quid

As they had some 10 percent off vouchers floating around.

They also had The Dutchess for a tenner and Australia for 15 quid. Most other stuff was way back up in price.

You could get it for £14 inc P&P on eBay (http://www.thedvdforums.com/affiliatelink.php?localaffiliateid=44). Quantum of Solace is £15. Forums earn affiliate money on these Buy it Now items. You can actually get Little Miss sunshine for £8.99!

[HowMuch]

Got a QoS from Charing Cross Road, they had Hulk and some others as well.

[Ste7en]

Was The Hulk around 7 quid + change?

It was up 'ere.

[Soprano]

Was The Hulk around 7 quid + change?

It was up 'ere.

Hulk (2007) was stickered up at £9.99 in Charring Cross branch

[Ste7en]

Wow! It was 7.86(ish) at Team Valley.

Went to Oxford Circus branch tonight and they had none of the titles mentioned so presumably they've been cleaned out.

[Dragon Ninja]

I went into the one in Oxford today and picked up what looked like the last Defiance and Underworld 3 at £9.99 as they were the last ones on the shelf.

Also picked up the Promise for £9.99 too, which they had a few copies left of.

Had a couple of the Hulk stickered up at £7.99, Frost/Nixon at £9.99, Jessie James at £9.99, Australia at £14.99...as well as a few others.

Wish I could've picked up Body of Lies, but still happy though, so thanks for the heads up!!!

[saltysam]

Went to the Speke,Merseyside branch yesterday,bit of a trek for me with having no transport but it was worth it! Frost/Nixon,Changeling,Underworld 3,Defiance all stickered up at £17.99,asked the assistant to scan them and they came up at £9.99 each :thumbs: Also picked up Quantum Of Solace,Eagle Eye,Mummy 3 & Tropic Thunder which were stickered up at £9.99,think i got the last QOS though. Body Of Lies & Waltz With Bashir were also there for £9.99.if you are local to this store get down there before they go!

[waggett]

London Charing Cross branch had about 15+ titles behind the counter on the second floor this morning. None of the very recent titles eg QoS, but a fair number and a few titles at 7.99 Hulk, xXx (hurl).

Actually their DVD stock was wide ranging and pretty heavily discounted as well - plenty of bargains.I hadn't previously considered Borders as worth looking at because they usually had everything at list price but on looking today I have revised that opinion - plenty of stuff down to £2.99-4.99.

[Thargg]

Just been to Speke branch, Defiance is £17.99 now (got it scanned) so I assume the other ones will be the same.

[Dragon Ninja]

I went into the Oxford branch today on the off chance they had any new stock and low and behold I found a lone copy of Body of Lies by itself and it was still scanning in at £9.99! They had a few others too, so don't know whether they've had any more in!
