When has that ever stopped Best Buy?

Drake · 06-30-09, 08:02 AM

I picked up season 4 last night for $16.99 it was the last one they had.

DirkBelig · 06-30-09, 04:07 PM

Picked up S3 from Amazon for $16.99. No tax FTW!

RockyMtnBri · 06-30-09, 04:43 PM

I grabbed seasons 2 and 3 from Amazon for $16.99 each! I eventually want season 4, but I'm good right now!

exactly as I said I worked there and they know, me and I'm good there and it doesn't matter.
When I mentioned the 10% thing she quickly handed me the pamphlet
and said the provisions allow for the rules to be smudged to their favor.

the spirit of the rule is supposed to be buy something, then later on,
the next day or so you find ouut it is now cheaper somewhere else, then you come in for a match.
This is as it was explained to me.

eventually she allowed the match but it took a bit of discussion.

is the target sale good through Saturday? i'm waiting on a paycheck but don't want to miss this...insanely good value! i'm assuming Amazon will keep this price until the target sale ends, right?

I managed to find the book-style packaging for seasons 2, 3, and 4. No luck on 1 though. I guess I'll have to bargain hunt for that somewhere else.

JB7 · 07-02-09, 10:55 AM

Has anyone got Season 2,3,&4 that ordered from Amazon? I am looking at buying from them, but want the book-style.

The same at my local Target, no book for S1. I went ahead and picked up S2 to S4 for now. The regular price appears to be $19.99, so I didn't really have to hurry to get them all. My Target appears to have a lot in stock as the display was full of all seasons, although all of them had bent corners from tight shrinkwrapping.

jgorow · 07-02-09, 04:47 PM

I believe that the outer book packaging is only for the 1st pressings, and that later pressings are plain digi-packs, so if you are waiting for a re-stock with the outer book, you might be disapointed

darkside · 07-02-09, 05:39 PM

Local Targets finally got these in. I was able to pick up the book style for Season 2 so I have the scrap books for season 1 and 2. BTW, I haven't seen an art book version of Season 1 in a long time so I doubt anyone will find that. I was kind of surprised to find Season 2 with it. Sucks that Universal removed the books after Season 2. The cards in Season 3 are kind of lame, but I guess better than Season 4 that come with nothing extra but the book style box.

Liquid Death · 07-02-09, 06:35 PM

I got the LE versions of S2 & S3 from Amazon.com, though S2 was damaged so I'll need a replacement. Found the LE version of S4 at Target today, they had LEs of all four seasons on the shelves.

cracksky · 07-03-09, 01:50 AM

Unless someone can show visual proof, there was no book-style version for S1 like they've done for S2-S4. S1 only came in a digipack. Some were packaged with the photobook, which you can clearly see next to the discs in the slipcase.

I agree - I bought season one when it first came out, and it has the book, but it is not packaged like the later seasons. And my copy of season 2 from Amazon for $16.99 IS the LE packaging. My season 3 set should be here on Monday!

This is my experience. My Season 1 has the photobook, but was not in any kind of special packaging.
I don't remember seeing the book style ones until season 2.

It'd be nice if they could make the boxes now for S1 and send them to us through the mail with proof of purchase and a little for P&H so they all line up nicely on the shelf.

I don't have it right now, but I own the "book" style packaging for S1, I bought it a long time ago.

There were complaints on DVDTalk, probably in the main DVD Forum, that they lowered the quality of the "book" packaging between 1 and 2, which is true. I found all three seasons I didn't have book-style and pricematched, but the S1 "book" packaging doesn't have the finger notch, feels a little nicer, and mainly, the photo on the inside front was actually a thick cardboard sheet that was added on top of the "cover" part of the book. The sheet went down into the "square" the DVD digipak sits in in a way that held the cover shut.

cracksky · 07-03-09, 09:11 PM

None of that means anything until you can show me a photo of it.

thejester · 07-03-09, 11:19 PM

Well, finally picked up my SNL S1-4 at a BB (that was a little bit of a drive) where I had done the store-pickup option on a web order. When I tried to do the PM, the CSR said that the PM policy of web orders (even with store pickup) was different than B&M. Said I would have to call the 1-888 # - OR - I could do a return of the web order & they would match the Target pricing (no mention/hint of doing the 110% guarantee on that "match"). I declined on the "return" offer and walked out.

Fortunately the store had another set of S1-4 on the shelves & I just went in and bought them at the register. Went over to CSR desk afterwards & got my PM (by a different CSR) w/out a problem.

By that time, I had spent enough time at the store, so I decided to wait until tomorrow to return the web order ones @ a BB that is closer to me.

jgorow · 07-03-09, 11:52 PM

I can attest that the 1st pressings of season 1 came with the outer book packaging. I own one.

Brent L · 07-04-09, 12:10 AM

Yep, I now have the book packaging for all seasons released so far, 1-4.

i'm not taking pictures to upload them...but i have Season 1 and it has the book style package...the S2 I picked up today at Target is the same as what's inside the nice book package i have for S1: Just a digipack w/ a cardboard sleeve.

brizz · 07-04-09, 12:39 AM

oh, and I got the last S2 w/out the book packaging, but they were out of S3 and S4 - BUT had rain check tags out for them! So i'll wait and see what shows up next week. no big whoop either way.

means nothing? multiple people telling you they own it is not evidence enough that they exist?
