Best Buy is running a promo on teir website where you get $75 off if you buy all 5 season sets of South park together. It works out to $14.99 each for 1-3 and $24.99 each for 4-5.
Pretty great deal if anyone wants to start a South Park Collection.
I don't know what to do now. I would get in on this deal but I am trying to get the set from BBV on their misprice. They say it doesnt hit until 3-01 and the BB deal goes dead 2-26. I guess I could do the BB (I also have a $25 BB gift card) deal and wait to see if I can get it at BBV. If I can, just take it back.

I would bet the person at BBV who said 3/1 just had the wrong week.

Order it from BB.com....if BBV deals come thru...return the BB one to BB B&M.

Yea...Like BBV is going to sell this to you for $26.99. This isn't selling a $49.99 boxset $25 cheaper, its selling a $150 (which is its MSRP) $100 cheaper. Good luck

thanks for the info
I already have seaosn 1 and 3 but it'd cost about 100 bucks to buy season 2 4 and 5 form DDD.com
I'll buy this and sell my extra DVDs or s 1 & 3 to spun.com for a $26 credit, so it works out that I'll save ~ $26 :up:

Sweet! I also found out that you can get frequent flyer miles from American Airlines when you shop at Best Buy. In fact at a lot of online retailers.
Online you can double and triple up on seasons and still get the $75 off if you have 5 items. Unfortunately, you can't get more than 3 of any 1 item.
Maybe you can get 5 Season 5s if you do it instore.

I decided to check out Best Buy today.... They had 2 copies of each season (except none of 4) and a couple of Season 1-4 shrinkwrapped together. You may want to get there early if you want to get in on this deal...

I just hit the local BB and picked up Southpark seasons 1-5, for 95 bucks.
Guy at cash register: "oh thats a lot of southpark"
Me: "yeah, its 75 bucks off if you buy all 5, so about 95 bucks total for all 5"
guy: "what? really? (as he rings it up and sees the 75 $ off) oh man, thats awesome, did you get that on the big table over there"
me: "yeah, theres not many left though, but you can get it online"
guy: "oh no, the online deals arn't the same"
me: "yeah it is, i checked it earlier"
guy: "oh, well, i might have to pick these up myself... hey *says fellow employees name* come over here! check out this deal !"

Thanks to OP. I just ordered a set on-line for in store pickup. I only had Season 1 in my collection before, so this deal was not to be passed up for me.

Great deal though

This is a pretty nice deal. I already have seasons 1 and 2, but getting all 5 seasons is cheaper than getting seasons 3,4, and 5 alone.

Get it, watch them, ebay for what you paid or maybe even make a few bucks.

I already have season 1, but i ordered all 5 under this deal. I figure that I will just take the new unopened season 1 set that I get back somewhere and get a store credit for it.

Great deal.
Even though I already had Seasons #1 and #2, I figure I can sell the sealed dvds for those seasons plus the OOP CD Commentary for Season #1 on e-bay to offset at least half (if not more) of the $100 for all 5 seasons.
New Rambler
02-24-05, 06:39 PM
Folks, if you already own a set or two, put all 5 in your basket.
Then (in this order), increase quantity on season 5 by one, then delete the season you already own. Rinse and repeat.
Just end up with 5 total box sets in your basket, cash out, then peddle Season 5, which will be quite easy right now and more valuable than Sea. 1 or 2.

CD set isn't that tough to get. I sold Season 1 and 2 on Half.com for $22 each.

why would season 5 be more valuable?

because it's newer and most South Park fans already have the earlier seasons

Alright, you've convinced me, hehe. I would like to know if Circuit City will 110% pricematch this, if not, then I'll just get it at Best Buy tomorrow.

You never know what people on e-bay are willing pay for stuff with Rare or OOP in the listing. I just sold my copy of Casino for $30 last night even though a new version is coming out in June. I made a killing selling Scarface, Weird Science, Sixteen Candles, Animal House, Aliens, etc. once they went OOP as well.
That aside, great idea on the buying 3 copies of season #5 to get the $75 discount. I'll probably just let my in-store pickup order for seasons 1-5 expire and re-order with 3 copies of season #5 plus seasons 3 and 4.

Log in and look in the center of the home page, if you have the offer it will be the first item shown under "What's Hot."
Typically, not all accounts will have the offer. Depends on your history with BB.

PMed it to Circuit City today--took two stores to find all five in stock, but I got it. They matched BB's Season 5 price and then also did the $75 reduction plus 10% of the difference ($7.50). Came to only $83.94 plus tax. Works for me.

I had a few season but went to Circuit City and they price matched no problem. I picked up all 5 season for 87 plus tax so i cant complain

i gave in and ordered. i got season two, season three and 3 copies of season five for $81 including tax. i used the magic lamp too.
i already had seasons 1 and 4. and its a better value by padding out the order with the $14.99 seasons as opposed to the $24.99 ones.

I bought 2,4, and 3 copies of 5 since they were out of the others. Averaged $17.50 a set. Just sold the two extra 5's on half.com today for $28 each. Now I can pick up season 3(already have season 1).
