Especially if you get them before Sunday at Best Buy and then pricematch on Sunday! They are $54.99 now, pricematching will give you another $3.80 off, right around $13 total per season!

Of course, you can PM anytime during the week, but they have to be in stock at Target, so its best to do it early in the week.

SNL for me, especially if I can get the "book" ones. TIA!

The Netbook...is that a good one performance wise and price?

[Trevor]

Is there an advantage to the original packaging?

[JB7]

I always thought the original came with a book and later on it was dropped.

[dino88]

Neither of the Targets near me carry SNL, so I guess I'll be price-matching S.4 at Best Buy. Thanks for the ad.

[Trevor]

I got a mix of old and new packaging. Will open after pricematch and report back.

Wasn't going to buy all four, but for $13 each I couldn't resist.

[gotrice487]

Thank you for the early prices

[wash0088]

Target actually carries every movie in its ad in all stores...if they don't, it cannot be in the ad.

the first three seasons came with the "book" packaging and a scrapbook with photos and interviews or something like that. i think season 4 comes in a "book" too, but does not have the scrapbook.

Looks like my wallet lives through another week. Nothing here for me. Thanks OP.

I'm confused with this. So, you're saying buy it at BB before Sunday and then price-match at Best Buy? And what is the extra $3.80 off?

Unless they are getting a shipment in Sunday, neither of the two stores near me carry them. I don't ever remember seeing them and they definitely don't have them now, not even a spot for them.

This is rule #1 of bargain hunting. Never buy an item at the place where it is cheapest, but at the place (that pricematches) where it is most expensive.

In this particular case, buy the seasons at Best Buy while they are $55, they will likely lower the price on Sunday when the Target price is public knowledge. Best Buy has a 110% pricematch policy. If you previously bought something from them within 30 days, and find a lower advertised price that is in-stock at a competitor, come back during the week is it on sale and get the difference plus 10% of the difference refunded. The $38 price difference gives you an additional $3.80 off the Target sale price in this example.

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks Trevor.

I usually only price-match at the time of the purchase, only once have I done a post-purchase price-match (I guess that makes sense). I also wasn't aware that that Best Buy had a 110% policy.

edit...just read about the policy on BB's website. Thanks for the heads up guys.

I think it was suggested as well to pricematch early in the week (Sunday if possible). Some BB stores will call the store which has the item on sale to make sure it is in stock. Of course, YMMV on that one.

[Trevor]

Weekly comparison thread done. Looks like Target is cheapest for 12 Rounds SD and BD, Jonas Brothers the Concert Experience all three versions, Two Lovers SD, Princess Protection Program, and Entourage Season 5.

I was able to find a book version for season 3 and 4. However, I have tried 2 Targets and a Best Buy and can not find any copies of Season 2. I already have Season 1 with the photobook and was hoping to get a book version of Season 2, but at this point I will settle for finding a copy of Season 2 period.
