Also, since none of us non-Fox employees can get in on your price, it doesn't really help us that much.

Ok, so I went to Walmart in Panorama City, CA this morning.
The clerk over there told me Predator didn't come in. WHAT?
I then went to Target in Van Nuys and it was the same thing.
No Predator. Couldn't believe it since we're talking about a big studio release here, not some obscure Shriek Show title.
She offered a raincheck but I refused.
So, I grabbed the Target flyer and went to CC, they price matched the DVD at $15.59. Kewl.
What a hassle, though.

Picked it up at FYE for $10 after $5 coupon (from putting a refundable $5 deposit down on Star Wars). I plan on getting that back or transferring it to another title at some point.
Oh, they were only offering $3 credit for the DTS version of Predator, so I figured I'd unload it elsewhere.

Anyway, if all the copies at your Target are without the ticket. Tell them to either refund your money or reduce the price by the cost of a movie ticket in your local area. After all, their weekly ad does talk about the free movie ticket.

Got mine at Best Buy for $17.99. Target and FYE are too far if there's a problem. PMing at Best Buy for $2.00 is just a hassle. They examine the ad, circle it, get a manager, make another receipt where they want you're info and signature. Not worth the BS. The movie ticket makes up for it.
CC's PM is better, they just change the price..done.

hmmm... now that you mention it, with a free screening at work, I can sell the ticket for three bucks to someone. even cheaper.
Look at this as just another game of "Who's e-penis is bigger"

Picked up my copy at FYE ... had the ticket in it.
I was half wondering if it would; my Batman DVD didn't come with a Catwoman ticket in it. No loss, though; I wouldn't have gone to see it even if it was free

They contacted Fox Home Video regarding this. Fox has said that the movie cash is folded up and there are several brochures as well, so the ticket might not be recognizable. Be sure to look carefully to make sure it is not tucked in one of the included brochures. Fox has double checked all their remaining inventory and they all have the coupon inside.
If you still cannot find the coupon, you can call a toll free number at Fox: 1-888-223-2369. Fox will mail you a ticket.
If you don't want to call Fox, Target will take returns on this DVD.

I still picked it up for $14.99, cheaper than most of the B&M in my area. Just ticks me off that I drive 25 minutes, and then they don't have a clue. Guess YMMV.

If anyone has a picture or a scan, so I know what to look for, please post.
Thanks.
