Default Shaun of the Dead & Hot Fuzz - August 25 @ Best Buy

Just saw on another forum (and on the Best Buy website) that both Shaun of the Dead & Hot Fuzz will be available starting Tuesday August 25 exclusively at Best Buy. Both are priced at $19.99


Hot Fuzz

Shaun of the Dead

*note - I put this in the main forum as it isn't necessarily a deal as much as it is just letting people know of the early release... feel free to move if necessary.

Go for them, both are quality HD DVD releases so I expect no less from the Blu-rays especially Hot Fuzz with its 5 star picture and 4 1/2 star sound (and thats just with Dolby Digital+).

If I didn't have these on HD DVD, I'd take the day off and spend the day at home watching these. I may call out sick and just watch the HD DVDs that day anyways.

That's because it's best buy exclusive for a month.

These were already pressed quite some time ago. Might as well sell them early and get some $ by having an exclusive window.

I'm all about Hot Fuzz, I loved that movie. I'll pass on Shaun of the Dead though. I liked it, but not enough to buy it.

I freakin' LOVE these movies. They definitely get a lot of HD-DVD replay value.

I just ordered SHAUN online. Est arrival to me is before next Friday, the 28th. It looks to be legit and not a incorrect date posting. This week I could only afford one of them, HOT FUZZ will have to wait a week.

Thats the spirit of it

Would buy these myself if I didn't own them on red! Simon, Nick and Edgar always make magic!

Same here. Although it's tempting to pick up the anyway.
