Will there be a Bestbuy Thanksgiving sale?
I mean with the economy down and all, do you think we are going to see some good deals at Bestbuy during Thanksgiving? I'm saving up for it, plus I got a bunch of bestbuy gc's coming my way. Anybody have any inside info on this?

It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of what. I suspect we'll see good deals on some of the following items:
Shrek (My Top Choice)
How the Grinch/J Carrey (Second Choice)
SW:TPM
Mummy Returns (Very Likely)
Snow White
Final Fantasy

So here's the list:
Shrek (My Top Choice)
Castaway
Forrest Gump
SW:TPM
Mummy Returns (Very Likely)
Snow White
Final Fantasy
How the Grinch/J. Carrey
And, I'm still betting on Grinch. There's really no Holiday title in there, and Holiday titles make good gifts.
How about prices: I suspect we'll see $11.99-13.99 prices on the lucky titles. I'm guessing with the way the studios have kept the prices up with 2-disc sets will make these titles at, say, 12.99 still a big deal. Last year the big sale price was $11.99...

Shrek doesn't look like a sale title. I don't know but it seems it is the Gladiator of last year. It's going to be a big seller anyways so there is no need to reduce it. And also, either Snow White or Star Wars won't be a discount title. My bet would be Star Wars. It's already a big seller.

It seems the dvd's they have the most stock on are Snow White, Godfather, A Knight's Tale and Forrest Gump to name a few. So obviously their Thanksgiving sale will be on other DVD's they are sold out on.

The two sure things IMO:
Mummy Returns
A Knight's Tale

Actually, I remember quite a few of last year's sale DVDs to be older titles like LA Confidential, Fargo, and other older hits. Only a few of the titles were newer ones (Patriot, Fight Club).

There were a bunch of titles at 11.99 last year. I remember MI:2, U-571, and The Patriot, but Fight Club was the biggie. Gladiator was msrp at 29.99 (as is SW-TPM) and was marked down to 14.99 and they flew off the shelves. If anyone is expecting SW-TPM cheaper than that I think they are crazy.

I'm so looking forward to this.
I remember picking up Patriot, Fight Club, and U-571 during last year's Thanksgiving sale.
If the predictions above are correct, in particular, How the Grinch..., Knight's Tale, Shrek (finger's crossed), and The Mummy Returns are on sale, I will be one happy camper that weekend.

Boy, the title of this thread is like asking "Will it snow in Alaska this winter?"
Anyway, I'm pretty certain we'll see quite a few deep discounted titles. Maybe not 8, but who knows. All I can say is, I couldn't believe what they had there last year @ $11.99.

Fight Club was the biggie that year. I'd guess SW:TPM myself as that title is very well stocked and will have been released long enough by the time of the sale - esp. since people will buy it as gifts for anyone who did already have it from months and months on pre-order

Yes, some of them were, but I went the day after Thanksgiving last year (was there at 6:00 a.m.!) and I really spent a fortune but remember a selection of dvds being priced at $8.99. I got You've Got Mail and Eraser to name a few.

Braveheart was also $11.99. I remember because it was sold out with the empty little bin/rack and, in front of this bin, was a yellow "Braveheart $11.99" sign. I wanted this as a gift, dammit!!!

Are there any Best Buy insiders in this forum who can let us know what will/will not be on sales?
I used my K-Mart rain check obtained during the june sale of Mummy UE, X-Men, Gone in 60 Sec & Any given Sunday @ 9.94 each, to get Mummy Returns, Final Fantasy, SW-TPM & Dr Dolittle 2 for 9.94 each . So I selfishly hope that Best Buy has other titles than those on sales.
