I prefer the immediate gratification at Best Buy then waiting for Amazon, Deep Discount, etc... except when the price differential approachs $10+ (which happens all the time). Actually, Fry's is the better place to browse because they are close to price competitive with the internet sites. You might be genuinely savvy about price-shopping but I suspect quite a few more people don't bother with price-shopping. Also, given the BOGOs and price drops, It's become wise to hold up on new release purchases until the new release achieves "catalog" status with subsequent price drops. E.g. I'm leaning towards not buying Harry Potter until after a few months in hopes of a price drop and a better handle on the "State of the Format war"; "Blade Runner" ? not sure I'm going to wait on that one.

I just paid $73 for 6 discs from Amazon but I hear they've expanded the Warner BOGO so I might go fishing again....
