I refuse to give Best Buy my service anymore.

Their employees on the floor are horrid. They rarely are around for you to ask a question, and when you do find one to ask for assistance, their head is so far up their a$$, it's like they are from another planet. I swear.

The only way I will set foot in their store is to take hold of a slip up to where they are going to take a hit. That's where I am going to put forth my effort.

btw, I walked out the door yesterday with BUG, Jack Brooks 2 disc set and Jeepers Creepers with holograph slip cover for $2.11. Thanks Best Buy for your sh!t service!!!

Sorry for the huff and puff guys... I just have personal beef with the store I suppose. *Sigh*

I had a 15$ coupon!!!

But, I think they mistakenly gave me the Jack Brooks 2 disc for the 6.99 price rather than giving me the single disc.

So if that's the case, a heads up to all of you. The Jack Brooks Monster Hunter 2 disc set is going for 6.99. Not the bland single disc version... It's also a slipcover!

It's a nice little 80-page guide on all things Looney Tunes. But it is not an episode guide at all. Just a general LT trivia book with lots of info and pictures - it's laid out very well with some great graphic design.

Thanks for the info! I was worried I was missing an episode guide.

I got it too, but the cover is different from the one pictured on BB's web site. Mine has holographic artwork which, when turned slightly, reveals a picture of Hannibal. It has collector's edition printed on it and contains 2 discs. Does anyone know if this is the same set with different packaging?

2 disc IS 6.99--all BB has is the 2 disc, since it was their exclusive.

You sure? Because the week it was released on DVD I stopped in and saw the 2 disc with slip cover marked higher and I saw a regular cheapo single disc version. The best buy I went to a couple weeks ago had 2 different versions.

I don't have a problem with your ban on a store, but your post seems to contradict your own words.

You said you don't want to shop there anymore unless you get them on a slip-up, but you seem shocked or unusually pleased that you got those three DVDs for $2.11. Wouldn't that have been part of your plan for going there?

Thanks for the info! I think I may pass on this one and just wait for a sale to buy the LT set... I spent so much on those steelbooks and other big releases this week that I probably won't miss an exclusive book.

I tend to contradict myself in so many ways, haha.

Bottom line is this, I try my hardest to not give them business. I am just bitter towards their service and their B.S.

The only reason I went to BB is because I had a free 15$ to spend in their store. My girlfriend bought a laptop for her mother and my mother also purchased a laptop a couple months ago. This gave my Reward Zone card points which turned into money value.

That's pretty much it, I don't go out of my way to shop there or anything like that other than if there is a price mistake, etc.

Thanks to the posters for the heads up that there was a more comprehensive list of the titles on sale online. A lot of the titles I bought last night didn't have sale tags (Wrestlemaniac for example). The Jack Brooks Monster Slayer 2 disc rang up for 6.99. There is a sticker on the slipcase that says its a best buy exclusive (the 2 disc), but i've no idea if the 2-disc is all they stock. In any event, 6.99 is the price.

I was lucky enough to get the Bond blu-ray sets in the Amazon buy 2 get 1 free. I watched Live and Let Die last night, and it looked and sounded fantastic. I was a bit underwhelmed with the box set packaging though. No cover artwork of any kind, and the foam discs holding the discs in place looked a little flimsy. I know its the movie that matters, but after seeing those Best Buy steelbooks, I was a little jealous. Although, at $25 each (on sale) they would cost way more to buy individually, than as part of the 3-movie sets.

I was able to successfully use the 10% off coupon (found in the Insider flyer) this week on both "Indiana Jones: KOTCS" and "Incredible Hulk" BRs. I thought it might be of interest to some people since it seems that the new coupons have not been accepted by the computer for sale items. At least on these two items, the discount went through automatically (i.e. without arguing with the cashier).
