Went into Dick Smith to pick up this deal http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/97320 and found they have all blu-rays $5 individual movies and $20 blu-ray box sets.

Obviously I spent more than I intended.
Grind house box set, predator collection, ultimate gangster collection were some of the box sets as well as quite a few individual movies.

I could easily have spent $150 but stopped myself at $75.

Edit:
Credit where credit is due, g12345567 originally posted this in a comment of the Band of Brothers/The Pacific deal, I didn't see that comment before posting this.

    Bugger all stock at Dapto but Wollongong had quite a few left. Really wanted X-Men First Class and the Tarantino box but neither store had em so I ended up with Predator trilogy and Terminator 2 instead. Grindhouse was tempting too. They had that at both the above mentioned stores. Also at Wollongong: Die Hard box, Shaun of the Dead, Night At The Museum just to name a few.

  • Methodical on 21/03/2013 - 18:10

    Not many at Helensvale Queensland but still had a few ( I'd say about 40 ) few good ones

    Guys just a tip but when you go to the store don't just look at what's on display and call it a day. Happened at DSE Toowoomba. C/B grade movies on offer. I go talk to the guy at front and he goes to the back and pulls out epic movies/boxsets. Just a recommendation that you talk to whoever's on counter.

  • LSGH on 21/03/2013 - 18:28

    Bought a huge stash. Also managed to bag a "sundry set" for $10 - 5 blu rays bundled together. I got Casino Royale, Open Season, Black Hawk Down, Ghost Rider, and Rambo Reloaded basically for $2 each. All DVD sets were $5, all DVD's were $2, all CD's were $2.

  • theguyrules on 21/03/2013 - 20:35

    Nothing at Carindale, QLD aside from a few crappy movies and a couple of movies that you'd get in boxsets anyway ie. F&F, LoTR, Matrix, Die Hard.

    No box sets. :(

    I ended up getting
    X-Men First Class

    Fast and the Furious 1 & 3
    Conan 3D
    Rio
    Casino Royale

    Can someone please tell me the obsession with Grindhouse? It's two movies so at that stage it should be $10? They're mediocre? Coulda picked it up today but seeing as they're average movies at $20 I couldn't justify it. Someone please explain?

    • congo on 22/03/2013 - 00:54

      Yeah, I couldn't figure this out as well. Not the best movies…

      • [Deactivated] on 22/03/2013 - 08:14

        Terrible but true.

    • pumpkinspice on 22/03/2013 - 10:04

      Guess it depends on taste.
      I think these two movies were great. It came in a nice box set with mini movie posters and an extras disc. I would rather have only paid $10 though.
      Same could be said about The Predators set as it's 3 movies it should only be $15.

      On the other hand almost everyone in the world thinks that Avatar is the best movie in history, people on ebay were paying up to $200 for the 3D blu-ray while it was only available with certain TVs. Given the choice I'd rather be set on fire than sit through it again.

      • g12345567 on 22/03/2013 - 12:04

        The same can be said about the Mummy and Jurassic Park box sets since they are also only 3 movies. As well as the Grindhouse box set containing only 2 movies.

        On the other hand the ultimate gangster movie box set is good value. 5 movies for $4 each.

        • Tal_Shiar on 22/03/2013 - 13:43

          but then you get people like me that are more than happy to pay $20 to see rachel weisz in blu ray no matter if she isnt in the 3rd movie lol

    OK, I normally get box sets for blu rays form Amazon .. but grabed a coup of movies form Dicks - did anyone else get home an have a red / green lock on the case in the thumb / latch area - seems to be a security tag and I'm concerned I'd damage the case trying to open it. First time I have seen this… sigh.

    • [Deactivated] on 22/03/2013 - 00:43

      I had 2 that were locked when I got home, I have 2 nice magnets that I use to open them without damaging the case. If you do a quick search on google for "how to open locked blu-ray case" there are a number of videos that will show you how to do it, some use magnets, some use pins.

      • g12345567 on 22/03/2013 - 06:56
        +2

        If you don't have any strong magnets. I have use the two sewing needles method in the past to push down on either side of the magnet clip. Then used a sharp implement such as a pen knife to slide the clip over to the unlock position.

    • Oz-bargainer on 22/03/2013 - 00:43
      +1

      We have these where I work, the device to unlock them uses magnets that it swipes past to unlock the internal mechanism.

      If you have a couple of strong magnets handy, this guide shows you how to unlock it:
      http://www.instructables.com/id/Opening-Locked-DVD-Cases-The…

      Don't try and force it open or you'll end up destroying the case.

      • Elijha on 22/03/2013 - 01:30

        I don't really… I have a set of 50 3mm rare earth magnet magnets (was modding a board game pieces) but they are not strong enough for this - I don't even feel tension or pull when wiping them past.

        Guess I'll have to go back on Saturday to get them unlocked.

    • endotherm on 22/03/2013 - 00:47
      +1

      You will damage the case trying to force the security lock. You need a strong magnet to open it, if I remember correctly there are a couple of ball bearings that push down on some tabs that allow it to slide. You only have to do it once and it stays unlocked on the case from then on. Either take it back to the point of sale, they should have the proper equipment and experience to do it for you, or you can try with a strong magnet, hopefully you have a large neodymium/rare earth magnet lying around at home.

      • alphaomega on 22/03/2013 - 07:43

        I agree you should take any locked blu-rays back to DS. The guy there said they forget to unlock them as they don't regularly sell all that many. He only checked mine as an afterthought.

  • Charlie Dont Surf on 22/03/2013 - 00:54

    Black Swan $5
    Saving Private Ryan $5

    Five great movies, and one okay one, for $30. Very happy.

  • ShrewdOrJustTight on 22/03/2013 - 07:48
    +7

    This is a pretty strong message to the movie studios, distributors and retailers… Sell a movie once for $30 or sell it 20 times at $5. It's quite clear that people (on ozb anyways) are quite willing to pay for their movies. Just not at exorbitant rates.

    City - Dont bother can get at all other stores
    Elizabeth - Very poor selection
    Golden Grove - Again nothing left
    Hollywood Plaza - Again had what all other stores had

    MAKE SURE THEY UNLOCK THEM AS THE IDIOT AT THE CITY STORE DID NOT AND HAD TO GET THEM ALL UNLOCKED AT NORTHPARK

      Yes I made a complaint to the manager and the dse feedback email. I get the guys point he wants to try and get more customers in to maybe buy other goods to increase the stores profit. I guess if it comes down to closing stores in the future the stores which dont make as much money as others will be the 1st to go. In this case this is also then unfair to the other stores which are not on the same playing field.

          people buying online are not completely stupid though, they know how to use google and most would do a little research and would find either the JB site or this page on OB

          Best of luck to the people selling on ebay, it's free to list so no sweat off their back if it doesn't sell. I'm sure we've all done something similar

    • sparkles on 22/03/2013 - 12:03
      +2

      That's so lame, I mean every shop and business on earth does exactly the same thing. If someone makes a few extra bucks from making the effort of going to the shops to find the good sets, then who cares. A Tarantino set for $40 still sure beats the $95 that JB are charging.

      • [Deactivated] on 22/03/2013 - 13:00

        Every shop and business on earth does that to pay the rent fees, staff fees, etc. Brodens on ebay do that for personal private gains and caused others who like to buy and watch for themselves to missed out.

        DSE should have limit 1 copy for each title per customer.

        • sparkles on 22/03/2013 - 13:31
          +1

          There are only going to be so many to go around at these prices. Someone will miss out.

          I rather like the idea that the $20 profit I paid went to some regular person probably to put food on the table, than some fat cat executives salary. I buy regularly on eBay from small sellers for this exact reason.

          Reselling on eBay for a few bucks profit isn't a CRIME. It's when you are a douche about it like Broden was.

          G Harvey & D Smith would be very upset to hear that. They also need big fat cat profit to make them even richer. I don't disagree with small timer making profit on ebay, but if he/she bought all the copies of tarantinos or rockys on dick's shop then that would be broden allright, didn't give a chance for the next buyer.

        It only bothers me when people use deals posted here and use the selling forum to rip off those that missed out, but the first seller listed above went a little overboard in asking price (not that it bothers me, just my opinion)

    All the greedy people on Ebay may actually be doing us a favour. Some are selling at cost price with free delivery. Now there's a bargain!

      Link? I might grab those too. But they really doing a charity as the postage might cost more than $5 for each parcel.

    Placed a click & collect, rang the store and he said they are ignoring all click & collect orders!!!
    They have had hundreds and this would involve getting them off the shelf to put them aside! No kidding - perhaps it would give all the staff wandering around something to do! Anyway, he said they still had the DVD I wanted but I would have to search for it (they wouldn't find it for me) - the DVD section was such a mess I gave up. Any they wonder why these big retailers are losing business?

      It's been made pretty clear that they weren't doing click & collect.

  • spychiatrist on 22/03/2013 - 19:06

  • girlybird on 22/03/2013 - 21:13

    Thanks OP, great sale! I picked up Die Hard and Rocky box sets and Sons of Anarchy S1 and S2 at Dubbo store today. I had called the store yesterday to ask if they had SOA (as it said Low Stock on website), and they told me no. Pays to look! Not much left there, just a few single titles.
