Best Buy B&M finally pleases me

Was planning on ordering Brazil: Criterion, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: Criterion, and Miracle Mile from DDD. Checked BestBuy.com just to see prices, was blown away to see that their prices were only a few dollars more than DDD.

Brazil - $44.99 (BB) $43.16 (DDD)
Fear and Loathing - $31.99 (BB) $28.76 (DDD)
Miracle Mile - $9.99 (BB) $9.12 (DDD)

Ended costing me about $10 total more, but I walked out of the store with movies in hand.

Fear and Loathing and Miracle Mile were already priced to match BB.com prices. Had to do a pm on Brazil (thankfully brought in printouts from BB.com with me).

BB.com is still higher priced than DDD on alot of things. They just surprised me this time. Online is still the way to go, but at least instant gratification doesn't cost so much more now.

You were lucky that the B&M store matched their website. I have been told numerous times that they WILL NOT match their website as they are two separate entities.
