Official - ANIME Bargains! - Thread [updated daily...or close to it] - September '08

WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL ANIME BARGAINS THREAD


Below are the ANIME (as well as the occassional anime-related stuff like manga) deals for the month of SEPTEMBER. Please post your deals here as all new deals will be reposted to the first post of this thread on a daily (or close to it) basis.

A new thread will be started each month as to keep the number of posts managable and the deals current. This thread is a work-in-progress, so feel free to message/e-mail me with any suggestions on how it can be improved upon. And maybe if there is enough interest and participation, we'll actually get a sub-forum of our own.

Tables - Anime Bargains (Best Buy / BestBuy.com)

Best Buy (B&M / YMMV, Customer Kiosk) / BestBuy.com

Online prices may not necessarily reflect in-store prices. PLEASE take the time to actually price check/ring up the anime DVDs in-store before panicking as the price labels may not reflect the prices listed in this table. If they ring up a different price than the one listed here, then please report back. Thanks!

Best Buy Customer Kiosk FAQ

Spoiler:
Q: What is the Best Buy kiosk?
A: It's a customer computer kiosk/station inside each Best Buy store.

Q: How does the kiosk work and what does it do?
A: The most useful function of the kiosk is the access to BestBuy.com with store-loaded price. This gives you an option to purchase select products that your local stores may no longer carry. You can also do price checks on the kiosk by keying the product title or the product SKU without going to the checkout area. Another newer feature gives you an option to check on up-to-date on-hand counts (if the item is still listed on BestBuy.com) for product in the store you are at and the surrounding stores.

Q: Where is it located inside the store?
A: It's usually located near the DVD/Video Game/Music section. There is usually at least one if not two or more kiosks in each store.

Q: Weren't some legal issues concerning with pricing with this whole kiosk business in the past?
A: Yes, but it should pose no problem now. All kiosk now display this message, "This kiosk displays Best Buy's lowest price available between this store and its online national website prices excluding promotions and clearance and outlet center pricing which can differ between stores and online. Please see your sales associate if you have questions!"

Q: How does the ordering process work?
A: Older kiosk system: 1) Click on the lower left weblink and it will lead you to BestBuy.com. 2) Shop as you would outside the store. 3) You don't need to have an account to shop, but it is recommended. 4) Once you are ready to checkout, be sure to enter your Reward Zone account number if you have one. 5) The order will then be deliver to your designated address. 6) Once the order is placed, certain kiosk offers you the option to print out your order.
A: Newer kiosk system (new/remodeled stores): 1) Type in the search box on the screen and it will lead you to BestBuy.com 2) Follow the same steps as above

Q: What kind of payments are acceptable?
