Best Buy new stuff out already!
I went to best buy last night and they already had out
Kids in the hall, black sheep, top secret, gung ho, and better off dead!
I was excited to get these without having to hope to get them as 3 of the 6 best buys here only get a few copies of each movie the first week.
BTW, this is in St.Louis, MO.

If its before the official street date release than its just that store because then they accidently put it out early. Also if its suppose to come out on this tuesday 7/16 then its more than likey going to be advertised at a lower price since they always do that for new dvds and since you bought it early its normal price. So you going to have to make a trip back to get some money back.

Ok, I work for Best Buy, my store has those new titles out too. The reason is that there is not a strict release date on them. These titles come from the Best Buy warehouse and not from the film company like most new releases do. Therefore, we are allowed to but them out before street date. Plus they are not in the weekly ad aswell.

DVD Giant is partially right. Items that come form the warehouse does not have to go by the streetdate. However if a smart employee knows street dates they can set them in the back with the other street dated stuff. I saw all these come in on our truck Friday night and put them in the back. I would imagine all the stores in the midwest/southwest area got these same titles in their last truck. BTW we only got one copy of BOD and I have it stashed in back for me on Tuesday, sorry OKC people.

I believe most of us appreciate this kind of attitude over the "smarter" employees like Cusm. Why delay if you don't have to?? No offense, Cusm

I saw a BB employee taking certain titles off the shelves because she found they were put out a bit early. Too bad in a way.....However, she was at least doing her job.
