DVD Update? - Page 2

That's a good deal.. how does it look on TV?

feldon34 · 12-03-2003, 02:09 AM

It doesn't change the fish selections very often and it's not widescreen.

Thanks for the heads-up on the DVD at Best Buy. Had to travel a ways to get to a store that had it in stock, but bought the last two they had. At $5.99 you can't go wrong. One copy is for a friend who just bought a high-def television...he's been wanting this DVD for a long time...especially after seeing the screensaver on my computer.
It may not be wide-screen, but looks great on a standard TV.
Thanks again everyone for the information!

Is this a limited time special? I'm wondering if the Best Buy here has it.

KCLYDE · 12-06-2003, 09:55 AM

If you go to Best Buy on the internet and do a search you will find that you can order it online (but currently out of stock). You can also search by zip code to see what (if any) local stores have it in their inventory. Ther were two stores in my area that had a few in stock (Orlando, fl.)

Good luck!

I saw it online for $19.99, but was wondering if the $5.99 DVD was a sale price for a limited time?

KCLYDE · 12-06-2003, 10:10 AM

The DVD's price is $5.99 -regular price. Not a sale price-

Ok I found it, and it says its currently on backorder. I will call and see if the store here carries it.. otherwise I will just wait.

Thanks!

KCLYDE · 12-06-2003, 10:12 AM

Also-
If you check online don't get it confused with the Computer program which is 19.99. Search under DVD- It will list at $5.99

$5.99... sounds like a "getting rid of it" price.

Panthera · 12-15-2003, 10:43 PM

Welp they didn't have it at my BestBuy, just came from there. I even tried Borders Books and they are out of stock too.

Jim Sachs · 12-15-2003, 10:59 PM

Fry's is the only store chain I know of that carries the DVD. We don't plan to make any more.

Panthera · 12-15-2003, 11:10 PM

I don't have a Fry's.. and being a few people on the forum found it at BestBuy I thought I'd try there, but they were all out. Borders said they carried it.. but they were out too. Does Fry's have a website? I will search the net to see what they have. Thanks.

Jim Sachs · 12-16-2003, 01:34 AM

Yes, they have a website, it's outpost.com.

drfish · 12-16-2003, 06:13 AM

Outpost.com used to be so cool, I know they were dying before Fry's saved them, but that free overnight shipping on ALL orders was the best! I wish they still did that... I ordered my sister's Wacom Graphire from them at about 10 PM one night and I had it before 10 AM the next day, it was amazing! I ordered everything from them without even checking other places first, then they went down hill... Now I shop at Newegg.com the way I used to shop with them...

feldon34 · 12-16-2003, 12:47 PM

www.frys.com will take you to Fry's at Outpost.com

Jim Sachs · 12-16-2003, 01:22 PM

But to shop there, you need to click on the "Shop at Outpost.com" button, which takes to you www.outpost.com. I was just eliminating the middleman (the Fry's ISP ad).

Wow - the DVD would have been a success of only 100,000 other people had been this eager to find it. (Or even 1,000).

You've just created a rarity Jim!

..... Finally tracked it down at VideoUniverse

They said it was in stock, - and they have indicated that, "... your order is ready to ship!"

... (Fingers crossed!)

Panthera · 12-16-2003, 07:26 PM

I just received confirmation that Fry's is out of stock as well.

Cliff,
Did you order from VideoUniverse? I think I'll wait to make sure it's really in stock!

Jim Sachs · 12-16-2003, 10:55 PM

Last time I was in the Redondo Beach Fry's there was a whole shelf of them. Maybe they started marketting them as mini-frisbees.
