Thanks, I've been waiting to pick up season 3.

[dvdjunkie32]

Is this in store too?

[Chip718]

Thanks OP. I just did a pricematch at Circuit City and with their 110% pricematch I got them for $15.99 each.

[jaschiero]

Thanks OP, one of the shows I've been waiting for a good price on to pick it up, along w/ L&Orders and House. Now I'll keep an eye out for season 1.

On line? ... or in store ... will you walk me thru it? ... is the Best Buy price in a circular? ... or do you print out a copy of the BB Website page? ... Thanks ...

[sociopharm02]

this was in-store for me as well also had law and order svu second season, growing pains, mcgyver and a couple other sets at 19.99

[WallyOPD]

Nice deal, I've been meaning to pick up season 3.

[eldad9]

MacGyver... does anybody remember if the sudden and very pronounced shark-jumping happened after the second season, or after the third?

[TimT]

I too would like to know how to do the price match at Circuit City. I looked in Best Buys circular and this deal is not there. Do you print the online offer and take it in to the B&M Circuit City?

[Baytroll]

Are there other TV seasons for $19.99 (other than those few listed on dvdpricesearch)

Thanks,

B.

I ordered online and called CC (800-The-City) and told them that BB had the 2 dvds on their site for $19.99 each and I would like a pricematch. It was that easy.

MacGyver... does anybody remember if the sudden and very pronounced shark-jumping happened after the second season, or after the third?

Once Sharona left the series fell apart...IMHO

Sharona was on MacGyver?! -eek- -wink-

[Ravenous]

Fuck, none of my CCs have this. Looks like I gotta get it at BB. I hate giving them business.

[HE Pennypacker]

Awesome price for an AWESOME show.

[Eric D.]

Sweet! Just placed my order. BestBuy.com is having some great deals latley. First Farscape Seasons 3 and 4 and now this!

[ytrez]

I picked up the Monks. Now I just have to wait for Season 1 to go on sale somewhere.

I enjoy the show, post-Sharona, but wish they would advance the wife storyline a bit more.

If you were so inclined, you could join the Columbia House TV Club and get Season 1 of Monk as an enrollment. Check out this thread for all of the details-

I just tried placing an order over the phone. While the PM was approved, they were going to tack on Best Buy's shipping charge to the PM - was this the case for others? Seems to defeat the point of PM'ing as it effectively negates the 10% difference. Going to check out B&M later.

[longrun]

Season 3 seems sold out now.

[matome]

Thanks for the heads up. Season Three is gone, but I did a Store Pickup on S2.

[bunkaroo]

Thanks OP-have both of mine on hold.

[MEJHarrison]

Any idea how long this is good for? My birthday is tomorrow and I may be getting some birthday cash on Sunday when the relatives visit. If it's just a one week sale, I should pick these up now rather than waiting until Sunday/Monday.

[Ravenous]

Goddamnit. I was just getting ready to head out for the day and stop by BB for S3, now the site says its sold out? I cant even check to see if my store has it? FUCKED UP! Does that mean some assholes just did instore pickup in my area already?

[foggy]

Season 3 is in stock at Bestbuy.com again, but now there is no store pick-up option. It's still a really good deal at 22.68 (19.99 + 1.69 S+H + 1.00 Sales Tax) for me here in Massachusetts. I paid in the mid-30's for S2 during DDD's 20% off sale and that was the best deal available at the time.

[RobCA]

I swore I wouldn't buy Season 3 of Monk, but at that price, I couldn't resist.

My local Best Buy had plenty of copies of Seasons 2 and 3, but no sign saying that they were on sale. I think they were priced at $43.99. I asked a BB employee if Season 3 was on sale, he looked it up and told me it was.

GREAT deal! Thanks, OP! :up:

Rob

[darkside]

I was able to pick mine up in store today. Glad I waited to get Season 2 and 3. Thanks for posting such a great deal.

[ChipHP]

Just picked up S2 & S3 at local BB (Walnut Hill & Central) ... they had 2 S2s and 1 S3 left on the shelf ... I called ahead and a sales associate held them at the DVD/Music desk for me ...

[Shoveler]

Picked mine up at BB B&M tonight, they were still marked regular price but scanned at the sale price. Thanks to OP for bringing this one to light!

[jaschiero]

For anyone who picked up season 2.... is there booklet in the flap that looks like it's made for one? I opened it up and there is no booklet or literature whatsoever. May have to return/exchange it if it supposed to have one.

[Ravenous]

Got my S3 today!

Thanks OP; hell of a deal.

[head dvd nut]

I just tried calling the 1 800 # and the lady told me they would NOT PM becauseBest Buys is a sale price! -screwy- I thought that was the whole point to price matching--if someone has it on sale you'll match that price just to keep your business!!. Well, as much as I hate it, guess its off to bb.com for me!!

Just keep calling. It may take a couple of different CSR to get lucky.

[jaschiero]

anybody have problems with the booklet? I grabbed the one at FYE and price matched it, no booklet, exchanged it at wherehouse music, no booklet, went to best buy, opened all 8 of theirs, no booklet in any. none in stock at walmarts, circuit city, or target. Am I just gonna have to write/email/call whoever it is that releases it and try and get one through mail?

Actually, looking a the back of the inside (once out of the slipcover), there is the list of episodes, which disc they are on, and the extras. Is there a booklet? According to folks that review it at amazon, they seemed to think it should have one. Maybe the made the packages and decided afterwards to do without the booklet so there's just a booklet flap for no reason. Well now I feel bad about opening the ones up at Best Buy. The lady there went ahead and opened 3 of them up herself thinking it would be stupid to have a flap for a book and not include one.

[MovieExchange]

So has anyone obtained a complete list of what's on sale? I know in this thread we've seen mentions of Monk s2 & 3, a season of MacGyver and a season of Law & Order SVU.

[the big train]

There is no booklet.

[darmok]

dang, jaschiero. you opened up ten copies from three different vendors and you still didn't have an idea that it doesn't come with one? that's messed up. you should've figured that one out after the first two!

[dvdjunkie32]

I returned from Best Buy, and they had Saved By the Bell S5 and Hogan's Heroes S1 for 19.99 as well.

[jaschiero]

i read from a few reviews online that people said " i went back and returned it and got one with the booklet"

i just went by what other reviewers had said. also, why make the folder there if nothing would go in it? i've received bad shipments at my store when we got kingdom of heaven in, some two dozen copies of it had two disc 1's or two disc 2's.

[MEJHarrison]

So, is there no word on how long this sale will last?

[matome]

Thanks for he heads up on the in-stock. I went to pick up my S2 in-store and I looked for S3 and there weren't any. I'll just have it shipped now, since even withthe extra $1.69 shipping, it's a hell of a bargain.

[MovieExchange]

I stopped over at Best Buy today, and none of the employees knew what was going on. They finally referred me to a lady from an outside company that sets up DVD displays. She said she didn't know anything about a sale, but the titles I mentioned (Monk 2 & 3, MacGyver 4, Law & Order SVU 2) were all on a list of titles she was told to pull and put on display near the registers. I looked at the items in the cart she was filling, and saw Hogan's Heros 2, Laguna Beach, Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica, Beavis & Butthead vol 1, Drawn Together 1 and Chappelle's Show 2. Obviously they're not all 19.99, as the Newlyweds are $16.99 usually. I grabbed Hogan's Heros 2, but it rang up at standard price.

Our best guess was that these will appear in a future ad.

[adinar]

Interesting. At my local BB, there were shelf tags showing the $19.99 price for the DVDs mentioned in this thread. It's strange how some stores have no idea about the sale, while at others, it's heavily advertised. I was thinking it was a weekly sale only (i.e. it will end after Sat), but maybe that's not the case?

I ended up ordered both Monk S2 & S3 when it came back in-stock online, and then managed to PM a copy of S3 at my local CC as well (they wouldn't PM it when it was OOS on BB's website). So now I have an extra copy of S3 coming to me which I'll try & return.

[Prowler]

Thanks alot OP. :up:

I went to my local Best Buy and got Monk season 2 & 3 for $19.99ea. No signs or anything, so I asked someone and they proceeded to check their computer and sure enough it was on sale.

Does anyone know how long this sale lasts, and what all titles are included?

[MovieExchange]

Well, it's not a one week sale, as the sale prices are still up at BestBuy.com.

As I said previously, the only person at my local BB that knew anything about this was the outside person that sets the new displays. She didn't know about a sale, but she did say that the display she was making of the sale titles (and others) is changed at the beginning of every month... so my best guess is that this is a sale through the month of March.

[matome]

I got a backorder email from bestbuy.com for my S3. :(

[thejester]

My local BB still had 3-4 copies of both seasons on the shelf - no tags showing the $20 price were evident.

[justbarelymovin]

My BB had like 6-8 of each, so I bought one of each at $19.99 a piece. Thanks a lot, OP!

[head dvd nut]

I went to my local Best Buy(Wilmington, NC) this past Saturday and they had about 4-5 copies of S2 & S3. Asked a salesperson (believe it or not, he was actually very friendly and helpful!!) to scan them for me and they both came up 19.99. He was shocked at what a deal this is!!

Now, I have all 3 seasons of Monk. :clap:

Thanks again to the OP for finding this great deal

[ed]

I ordered season 2 & 3 through Circuit City on the 28th and selected free shipping (titles were not available at my local stores).

I followed up with a phone call to price match with Best Buy later that day. The first CS rep indicated that they do not price match DVD’s over the phone. She indicated that I would have to take the merchandise to a local CC store after I received it, along with a copy of the Best Buy web site ad as proof, and request a price match.

I called again about a half hour later, spoke to someone with an Indian accent (outsourced, customer service?). He said they would price match it over the phone after verifying the price on the BB web site. Ten minutes later, he tells me that he can’t find any of the Monk season sets on the BB web site. He asks for the URL page. I use a dial up at the house therefore when I ‘m on the phone I can’t be online. I request that he looks again using the search engine on the BB web site, which is how I found it in about 30 seconds before making the call to CC. No luck, this gentlemen apparently doesn’t know what’s he’s doing or CC is just giving their customers the run around. I request that the order be canceled (fat chance of that ever happening). Of course, he indicates that the order is in progress and can’t be canceled.

Order arrives on 3-6 and I run it down to the local CC with a copy of the BB ads. I try to explain the issue to the customer service rep, but soon learn that this is her first week on the job. She’s all alone, and after briefly explaining the issue, I can see her eyes start to glaze over. Twenty minutes later, she refunds my credit card the overage, but she forgets to include the season 3 box set. Ten minutes later were finally finished.

Amount saved on each set – about $4. Was it worth it? Only, if gas is free and your time is worthless. Needless to say, I won’t be ordering anything through the CC web site again.

[Ravenous]

Damn, thats alot of trouble for two crappy seasons. But at least you didnt do anything crazy like go through 20 sets to see a little book with extra pictures of Monk :lol:

Granted I did buy the sets but thats beause Im a completist. I had already decided to pass up on any upcoming seasons of Monk becuase their $35 - $45 price is too insane for a show going downhill. S1 was the best one hands down and was good enough for me. But for $20, Ive bought less for more $ and I was already at BB anyway. Besides, I had to use my gift card on something :)

[getjazzedman]

I just went to the store here in Logan, UT to check it out. They were posted for over $40 each but when I asked them to ring them up they came out at $19.99. I was very pleasantly surprised.

[FARRELLCITYKING]

i PRICE-MATCHED this on DeepDisountDVD (it took approx. 2 days for them to respond to my e-mail in which they honored) and i was charged $21.68 a piece for the two seasons :D

[Larbo]

Just wanted to thank the OP. Saved me time and money and I appreciate that. Now I can stop being mad at myself for not buying them at the DDD TV 2:1 a couple of months ago.

I don't think Monk was available for that sale. At least not season 3, or I would have gotten it.

[bluetoast]

Wow, been waiting for something like this on Monk. I got season 1 for free (promo from USA Networks), and picked up 2 last summer. Waiting for a bargain on S3 and here it is. Might pick up SVU as well, PM it to CC.

Edit: Got Monk at Circuit City. After a huge hassle: Said the link isn't good enough. So I leave. They probably thought that was the end of it. But I drive to BB, get a Price Confirmation receipt saying that it is indeed $19.99, and then come back. Apparently the receipt is still not enough, but she gives it to me anyway.

[MovieExchange]

My local Best Buy finally put up shelf tags. Everything that's been listed in this thread is what's on sale, nothing extra. The sale runs until April 29.

[longrun]

Shipping Error... I got Forever Knight Trilogy Part 2... now, it seems to be worth the $20 spent on MonkS3 so I just reordered MonkS3, but is Forever Knight worth opening, or is it just a good return?

[BKenn01]

Forever Knight is a steal at $20. Wish I could get a mistake like that.
