From time to time special deals / prices will be listed in the Store Notes Section & the in the product price thread that may or may not be available in your specific geographic area.

Ask any questions (except about laptops) and I'll try to reply as soon as I can.


Sorry for the delay. As I get this posted I’m back to being extremely feverish due to Flu so I’ll try and answer questions as I can (when I can sit upright).

Weird that Best Buy is throwing in the Matrix Collection too... although without the $50 discount on that blu-ray player.

Damn, I hope Amazon lowers the price of the Matrix to BB's, since I have it on pre-order.

I checked out the price on the Samsung Blu-Ray player on Amazon and they are selling it for $229. It appears that BB and CC are just inflating the cost of the player to justify "giving" the Matrix along with it.

You may see Amazon match this promo next week so keep an eye out.

Anyone know what's the deal with the Halloween commemorative set?

Halloween
Halloween 4
Halloween 5
Halloween 6
Halloween: 25 Years of Terror (Docu)

I can understand not including 3 (Season of the Witch) and maybe H20, but is it a rights issue not to include Halloween 2?

I hope you're feeling better soon Speedy! Plenty of bed rest and fluids (especially orange juice) should do the trick.

Halloween 2 and 3 are Universal titles. The titles in this box set are Anchor Bay (or whatever they are calling themselves these days...)

This makes things a little more interesting in relation to my post in the Circuit City thread. Since Best Buy is offering the Matrix trilogy free with the Samsung BR player, could they possibly match Circuit City's price with the 110% guarantee and give us the Matrix Trilogy for free as well? It was assumed thety wouldn't match the free Matrix trilogy, but maybe they will since they are offering the same deal.

Noticed on Slickdeals that BB will have a package deal on Panny TV's and XBox 360 Arcade.

42 720p Plasma + XBox 360 = 899.98 (before tax)

32 720p LCD + XBox 360 = 699.98 (before Tax)

I was hoping for some deals on the young indy sets, but since i just bought the get smart set i can't justify spending another $150 on more sets i don't need. I might wait on indy as well, the m & m's aren't enough of an incentive for me to rush out and buy it

A reminder to Virginia residents - Best Buy will be observing the Sales Tax Exemption Weekend, October 10 - 13th.

Best Buy is taking this tax holiday a giant step further. We will absorb the uncovered sales tax on ALL products purchased in our Virginia stores between October 10–13, 2008!

TVs, computers, MP3 players – no matter what you buy or how much it costs, you'll pay no sales tax!

All purchases should be for personal, non-commercial use.

It will be on Blu-Ray but not with the gift set, it seems. It's kind of lame for those who want the Blu-Ray version, but I guess they didn't want to produce a bunch of gift sets for the Blu-Ray version since Blu-Ray sales are still only a small percentage of their sales (though growing with recent releases and probably will more with lower prices on players coming up). It would have been nice if they just offered the exclusive skull as a separate purchase so you could choose which version you wanted. Like say they had the skull priced at $10 or $15 with the purchase of Indiana Jones on 2-disc Special edition or Blu-Ray (even if they excluded the 1-disc). The gift set (making you buy a particular edition) is pretty lame when there are choices in versions and many of the real enthusiasts will probably want the Blu-Ray version.

Speedy, was there anything listed in the BB ad that showed that if you used the RewardZone MasterCard for "Indy" you were intitled to another exclusive? A replica "Indy" hat perhaps?

Thanks and keep up the great work and get better soon!!!

The Matrix Blu-Ray collection is a great deal, but you can expect BB to raise the price after about a week.. That is if you can even find it in stock after a few days.. Releases tomorrow, might see it in the stores before the weekend. Jump on it!
