[hwanch]

Thanks Speedy.

[collven]

Thanks Speedy. I'm shocked that BB is the only store advertising the 80GB PS3 bundle. Does the ad mention anything special with it?

[Rizor]

Thanks!

I've been meaning to pick up the Troy DC (something tells me it's probably just the regular version as opposed to the ultimate set though) so $6.99 sounds like a pretty good price.

I've also been thinking about To Kill a Mockingbird, but I don't think that's too great a price. Not to mention the other titles listed with it to get the discount are even more overpriced. $12.99 for that ancient edition of Annie Hall?

Oh, and what does the price lock thing mean?

[speedy1961]

Thanks Speedy. I'm shocked that BB is the only store advertising the 80GB PS3 bundle. Does the ad mention anything special with it?


Other than being 80 GB and having MGS4 in it, NO.

You can buy the Bluetooth headset for it too.

[speedy1961]

It means the price was locked from the 1st - 14th so people could buy Father's Day presents.


As for Troy, that's the picture shown so make your move early. (I know I will).

[gotrice487]

Thank you for the early prices Speedy...I'm still wondering if I should pull the trigger on the Seinfeld set

[Jacoby Ellsbury]

Might have to pick up troy today and pricematch when the sale starts.

thnxs speedy! how about any 32 lcd tv's on sale?

[MadonnasManOne]

Thanks, Speedy, as always!

By the way, you might want to fix the typo on this:

Sumer Smash Brothers Brawk >>>> $49.99

It did make me laugh, though! That could be the rip off of the Wii, the Vii version of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. :lol:

[micmac36]

hmm already have the other version of Troy Director's cut (not ultimate collectors), but for 6.99 I'll double up, but I just checked preferred store availability and its not showing up in any of my local stores... hopefully it's there today anyway. thanks speedy.

Hey Speedy, you are the man.

Does Best Buy or Circuit City, have any combo deals on tv that includes an xbox 360. I'm plannig on getting an HDTV and would love to get a xbox free in some deal. I noticed one a few weeks back, but I missed it.

Thanks

[Theitman]

Is it the newest release of Predator for 5 bucks?

Thanks Speedy

[clckworang]

You know, just Sunday I bought Michael Clayton on Blu-ray for $24.95 and they've gone and dropped the price $5! (This seems to be happening a lot lately ...)

I actually haven't opened it yet, though. Would they just credit my account if I just took the receipt or are they going to require me to return the disc and purchase it again? How's Best Buy when it comes to returning things from another Best Buy store?

As always, thanks for posting the deals!

[Kzbd]

[blued888]

Is there any chance of BB retracting the Troy deal? I might order it online since it's not available locally to me. Still brings it to below $10 including shipping.

[bluetoast]

The new 80 GB PS3 bundle (with MGS4) also contains the Dualshock 3 controller (which has rumble and tilt), as opposed to the Sixaxis (tilt only).

If it's a price mistake, they have to post signs in store etc.

They'd also have to have an online disclaimer.

I know I'm going for it.

[clckworang]

Thanks for the answers, musick and bluetoast! I'm definitely going to start using priceprotectr.com from now on.

[slop101]

is 129.99 for seinfield a good deal?It's a great deal - it comes out to only $16 per season set, and you get a bunch extra stuff (like the book, the fridge, bonus disc) that don't come with the separate sets.

[Lucky101]

Last night, I wanted to see if there were still carrying the Troy Ult.ED at the store near me. I know I have seen the dvd at all the stores in the past few months. Well, I checked and received an UNAVAILABLE at all the stores near me. Do you think they decided to pull because of the error on their ad coming this Sunday? :sad:

[.unholy]

Well, I checked and received an UNAVAILABLE at all the stores near me. Do you think they decided to pull because of the error on their ad coming this Sunday?

Not likely. Apparently, if they have less than three copies in stock, it comes up as "unavailable" in the online availability check. The limited edition of Troy is not exactly a super popular item, so most stores will only have one or two copies. This was the case for me: the website said "unavailable," but my store had two copies on the shelf. I grabbed one preemptively--will try to get a price adjustment come Sunday.

Thanks for the info...I stop by during lunch and they only had two copies and I also grabbed one....Well, we'll see come Sunday and see what they have plan for a price adjustment.. :fc:

[ScissorPuppy]

I think this is going to be a YMMV situation, since the ad also states the items regular prices are 12.99-14.99 they may not do it.

Best bet is to find it a CC and price-match, they have it listed on their site but not for store pick up. Which means they may not carry it.

[elkkthunder]

hit BB today- had 2 Troy deluxe sets, I hid it so I can grab it on sale tomorrow

my store would not tell me how many Wii they will have for the am but said they think most want the wii fit

[brocklanders]

At my BB, they had the HBO dvd's already at the discounted price for next week. Picked up Rome S1 to see if I like it enough to buy S2.

[fcb123]

bestbuy.com has the regular 2 disc troy on sale for $6.99 and not the ultimate. so a ymmv situation it is. price matching at circuit city would be best. I baught one at best buy on thursday, i am still going to try and price match tomorrow. oh well

[blued888]

I ordered one for in-store pickup. Will try to drop by tomorrow and get a pricematch while I pick it up.

[theflicker]

This is the address for the online selection for the $5 off 2, $10 off 3 offer:

[.unholy]

No dice with price adjustment at my BB. They brought up the "reg. priced $12.99-$14.99 each" disclaimer and that was that. Still, I think there's actually a better chance of finding a clueless or indifferent BB employee than the Ultimate Edition in stock at Circuit City...

Oh, well. Whatever. I returned the copy I snatched a few days ago and grabbed the non-ultimate DC instead (the one that's actually advertised). It's the same two disks, and for $6.99 it's still a decent deal.

[rehmus]

DAMN BEST BUY

they just gave me so much shit for this. they said nothing about the "reg. priced" disclaimer. instead they said they outsource their ads and they cant be held responsible for mistakes made on it.

im like WHAT?! its your ad!
i tried to pricematch at circuit city but they didnt have any copies in stock. gonna try some other stores next. as well as another best buy (whether i have a copy by then or not) haha

seriously, ive never heard of a company not honoring their own ad. especially considering they didnt even bring up the "regularly priced" blurb. unbelievable!

[xage]

Wil you still pursue it? next thing you know you wasted more $$$ of your Vehicular Gas consumption than saving to get $6.99 Troy

DAMN BEST BUY

I just got back from Best Buy and had no problems with the price adjustment. I just told the girl that I came in to get the price adjustment on the advertised item and she didn't say a word and gave me back $24 from the receipt that I got on Friday. :banana: Good Luck everyone, it's going to be a YMMV situation.

rehmus, I too was rejected in store despite my arguing that was pictured was a match for what I had purchased. They pulled the correct DVD and said that the gold cover was what should have been there.

I cited Connecticut's law about getting one for the price listed as no signs or price error disclaimers were posted any where.

The manager gave me his name and told me to call Best Buy (kind of like he was challenging me).

First thing I did was go to their website ansd take screen shots of the item in the ad, the item when I double clicked on it (and it says $6.99) and the SKU # which was listed which showed the gold cover. I next called 1.800.BEST.BUY and spoke with a service rep and told her all the information that I had:

1. Item in question is in web ad on Page #11 for $6.99
2. Item in question has wrong SKU # attached
3. There were no in store disclaimers or price error signs in place
4. I was ready to contact Connecticut's attorney general in regards of getting 1 mislisted item at the listed price and had sreen shots of same plus a hard copy of their ad


After being on hold for about 20 minutes, she came came back and agreed with what I had stated to both her and the Best Buy manager in Orange, CT.

End Result: Best Buy is sending me a $25 Gift Card to make up the difference of what I had purchased yesterday.

Sometimes calmly and surely is the way to win these type of situations.

Nice. I wish I had this kind of persistence.

[Rizor]

I saw a copy of the Ultimate Edition of Troy in the store, but didn't feel like trying to get it for $6.99. I would've gladly paid $6.99 for the regular edition of the DC anyway and did just that since I wasn't interested in the big box or all that other stuff.

[speedy1961]

Nice. I wish I had this kind of persistence.


Knowing your state's law on mis-labeled products is a BIG factor here.

Could you tell someone (who's not in the state of CT) how to go about checking to see if there's a similar law in their own state?? :)

[HDMovieGuy]

I bought two of these a couple of days before the sale started today. After arriving at the store (right when it opened up) and then waiting in the ridiculous line behind everyone clamoring over getting a Wii, I finally got to the register and asked for an adjustment. I wasn't happy at that point and what ensued didn't help. Everything seemed fine until the guy scanned the merchandise and began to take notice of the discrepancy. After some obvious deep thought, he said he needed to go check out the versions to see if this was the right one. I said "Look -- I own 600+ DVDs and I can tell you that you won't find another version that looks like the one pictured in your ad." He then comes back with the 2-discer with the gold slip cover and tells me that this is the one that was on sale and should have been pictured.

I asked him how that was my problem. And then I proceeded to tell him "by god, I spent my time and gas driving down here to get an adjustment for something I bought that is pictured in your ad at a lower price and I'm not leaving here until I get an adjustment". He brought his little podunk manager over to explain the situation to her (I could see where this was going), so I interrupted and told them I didn't care what they thought or what their reasons were -- it wasn't my fault that their marketing department doesn't know what the hell they're doing and demanded an adjustment.

Without hesitation, my price was adjusted. The cashier was pissed off that he didn't get in his good samaritan deed for the company today, but oh well. Good luck to everyone -- I still say it's completely BS that they don't honor the price unless they clearly display an ad correction notice somewhere else. Even still, people rely on the ads and don't know that until they get to the store -- so I think they should do something for people as compensation for waste of their time and gas money.

[DVD Polizei]

I agree. While ad mistakes do happen, Best Buy needs to find a way to pre-scan the ad so mistakes like this won't happen at the store level. It's simply good business, but hey I guess paying somebody a few bucks an hour isn't worth it. Therefore, they need to honor the ad.

Managers at Best Buy need to start emailing and calling their district and regionals so ad issues can get solved, instead of just not giving a shit every single time an ad comes out. They have the power to make the ad perfect.

If they can make sure an HDTV sells for $1299 instead of $12.99, they can sure as hell flip to the next section and make sure the proper DVDs are for sale and compare UPCs and SKUs.

[pengune]

I went to Best Buy to buy Eddie Murphy's Delirious, but they didn't have it and instead had the movie Delirious with Steve Buscemi and Michael Pitt. Did anyone else have a similar problem?

[HOSALE]

I too rushed down to get my copy of the Ultimate Collector's Edition Troy and was told by the store manager tough luck. I just bounced over to another Best Buy in Mountain View, CA and they had three in stock and had no problem with the manager, once I told him that 1-800-BEST-BUY had acknowledged the mistake and was authorizing it to be sold at the advertised price. Wahooo, out the door for $7.57, many thanks Speedy. We love you, man.

[mike01]

no such luck at two BB for me, both stating regardless the mistake they couldnt PM a 30.00 dvd for 6.99, oh well still picked up the regular 2 disk.

[moviewizguy]

So...about that whole Troy ultimate quadruple collector's edition located in the ad...well, in my Best Buy, they were just selling the 2-disc set...so well, yeah. I'm kinda mad because you're not supposed to do that (show one thing you're selling b ut selling another item). They wouldn't let me buy the collector's edition. Oh well....

[awil1026]

Did anyone have problems with those DVDs sets (Seinfeld complete series, west wing complete, king of queens complete, etc.) that were in last week's ad but listed as having prices in effect for 2 weeks? At my BB today Seinfeld rang up for $199.99. I didn't have proof on me that it was in last week's ad and they were being morons about it. Went home, printed out the page from last week's ad, and went to a diff BB. Rang up incorrectly there, but they corrected the price for me.

[speedy1961]

Usually you can find info by looking for your state's attorney general's website and probably looking under consumer protection.

I've said many times before in my threads that if they wish to hire me to do this, I'd be more than willing.

I scan their ad every week and usually spot discrepancies right away.

This isn't nearly as bad as Target's string a while back of regularly picturing the 2-disc or enhanced editions of discs they didn't even stock. It really makes you wonder... Made for great price matching material, though.

But yeah, they need to honor this.

[HOSALE]

No way I would want Speedy scanning Best Buy ads for them. I live for these mistakes, and usually make Best Buy pay for them. I've seen several posts here telling people to call 1-800-Best-Buy and tell the Customer Rep what happened. They are aware of the mistake and will send you a $30 gift card as a way to make it up to you. That is hard to beat and will definitely cool off a lot of tempers.

Nice of you to say that I know my stuff.


In the latest Best Buy ad going up shortly, there appears to be a mis-price on a classic Popeye animation set so get ready folks.

(I already have the set and it's a gem). :D

[cerial442]

Does anyone know whats on the deluxe edition of The Signal? If the same features are on the Blu-Ray I will get that, otherwise I'll get the deluxe edition.

hmmm...I was going to order this set before DDD's 20% sale ended, but now I eagerly await your posting. Thanks for the word Speedy!

[micmac36]

Thanks to Speedy and DVDtalk I also am an owner of Troy Ultimate Collector's Edition and a $30 gift card... the CSR on the phone said there were 3 mistakes in this weeks ad, but she didn't want to tell me what the other 2 mistakes were.

Does anyone know whats on the deluxe edition of The Signal? If the same features are on the Blu-Ray I will get that, otherwise I'll get the deluxe edition.

The exclusive second disc states it has the following:

The History of The Signal Crew
From Idea to Screenplay
Shooting the Signal
The Weapons and Visual Effects of Terminus
Sundance and Beyond....

The first Best Buy I stop by today sold out...I found one at the second BB, I had the cashier price match Circuit City for $13.99, she didn't even question the fact that it was a Best Buy Exclusive..

[Todd B.]

I couldn't find any listing for the Buy 2 Get 1 Free Blu-ray list in the store, but it appears to be online here:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site//olspage.jsp?id=pcmcat153200050005&type=category

Not a very good selection or prices.

I didn't figure this was worth a thread of it's own, but if you signed up for the Reward Zone Racing Club you get quadruple points (quintuple points with a Reward Zone Mastercard) on all purchases until June 15th, thanks to Kasey Kahne winning this weekend.

[Boba Fett]

I think corporate is finally getting smart; the signs for the $6.99 DVDs say save $8.

I found a copy of Zodiac DC on the shelf next to the sign (no single discs), and would have gotten it for $6.99 until they went back and double checked the sign and figured it was a different edition because of the save $8 marking.

[keys88]

Can someone explain the differences between the Troy directors cut 2 disc and the Troy ultimate directors cut 2 disc in the Best Buy ad.
The one I saw at Best Buy was the gold cover 2 disc directors cut that included the 196 Min. unrated directors cut. I bought it as it was the only version they had.

I looked on amazon and they show the gold cover as R rated but it isn't.
http://www.amazon.com/Troy-Directors-Cut-Ultimate-Collectors/dp/B000TGJ8IU

and gold cover

Thanks

Nevermind I found this:

http://www.dvdactive.com/news/releases/troy8.html

"additional "Art of Troy" photo book, behind the scenes photos, and select pages from the shooting script of the Academy Award nominated director."

At least the film and extras are the same.

i saw a couple corrections where all the ads are. i think they were about geek squad installations on hdtvs.

i took troy up to the register and they had to call a supervisor who wasnt going to give it to me. he called someone in media to bring the troy pictured in the ad and after a couple minutes of waiting he just gave it to me for that price. i wanted to see his reaction when the other guy brought up the one i had lol

[FunkDaddy J]

I got Troy UE for $6.99 last night after a quick price correction. Sounded as if they'd done the correction a few times, no questions asked. Cool!

[Grn_Str_Movies]

fuck am i the only one who didnt get anything.

[ScissorPuppy]

I called 1800BESTBUY after the hassle I received on Sunday, They filed a report, and no matter what I said they didn't offer a giftcard.

[red5bv06]

I went to two BestBuys and called the 1800# and I Still haven't been able to get Troy or a gift card. Oh well. I guess I'll just have to skip this deal.
