Re: Best Buy BD prices 11/15-11/21

I canceled my Amazon's Fight Club order with a note about BB's price. In the last couple of weeks, that's usually generated a price change within 24 hours of the notice. I've been surprised how quickly they respond

Star Trek is still cheaper for me at Amazon. One day it popped up in my Gold Box which meant I was able to get it for <$25 with free shipping, so without tax it is $20.42 shipped.

I was tempted to do the same, but I'm going to keep my order and just hope they fix it on Sunday (when the ad comes out) before my order ships. I have a few other items coming along with it and I'd rather not have to make a trip to BB. They've been pretty good about matching lately (or offering discounts after the fact to those who ordered) rather than "screwing over the customers"

Re: Best Buy BD prices 11/15-11/21

unfortunately Amazon has been screwing over quite a few coustmers on some items, I was screwed over on the 199 xbox with 100 giftcard. I ordered as soon as it became availble for that price with the free gift card then after it goes into shipping soon, i find out they are NOT going to give me the gift card, even though i did everything i was suppose to and i orderd at the time the promotion went into effect. they wouldnt let me cancel cause my order was in shipping soon mode, i heard they started correcting the gift card issue with some people, i contacted numerous times asking them to please honor the promotion and give me my gift card only to be turned down numerous times.
when the ups guy tried to deliver it to me this week I refused delivery and back it went. I will never order from them ever ever again, i dont care how low there prices go, I also filed a complaint with the california attorney generals office, as i have heard others have done now as well.
while they might have corrected this for some there are many others who they didnt honor the promotion for and they waited till after shipping to tell coustmers.

that combined with the pick and choose on who gets told yes when asking for promo discounts makes amazon a buyer beware bussiness in my book.

Thanks. I assume Amazon will drop Fight Club to match... and then it's mine.

Fight Club currently at $17.99. My pre-order still at $18.99. Will wait to see if they hit $16.99 before emailing them.

Re: Best Buy BD prices 11/15-11/21

Is there a difference between 3-Disc Blu-Ray & 2-Disc DVD? Content wise?

Re: Best Buy BD prices 11/15-11/21

one thing i did like about how they handled the midnight release this time is that not only did they have star trek out, but also all the other new bluray and dvd releases not to mention cds as well.

Sorry to hear That sucks...usually their midnight releases have at least a few extras to make it sort of worthwhile.
