Buy One, Get One ($17.99) select Warner Special Edition titles at Best Buy 4/2-4/29

Starting tomorrow Best Buy will have a display rack in stores that will have "Buy 1 Special Edition DVD, get 1 FREE $17.99 each" on it. It should be set tomorrow (4/2), but if last time this was done is any indication it may not get done right away. The deal will run until April 29th.

The titles are as follows: (UPC) <SKU>

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves Spec Ed (085392378029) <5511911>
Blade 2 (794043555428) <4740061>
True Romance Unrated Spec Ed (085392279623) <4750175>
Boogie Nights Platinum Series (794043503320) <4049390>
Giant Spec Ed (085392322121) <5511877>
East of Eden Spec Ed 2pk (012569683228) <7149043>
Seven - Platinum Series (794043499722) <4047043>
Mission Spec Ed (085392349722) <5455713>
Rebel Without a Cause Spec Ed 2pk (012569683235) <7149052>

JFK Spec Ed (085392863129) <6008679>
Space Jam Spec Ed (085392753727) <5928106>
Big Red One Spec Ed 2pk 012569432222) <7149007>
Unforgiven Spec Ed (085392345724) <4750193>
Wyatt Earp Spec Ed (085391317722) <6496473>
Enter the Dragon Spec Ed (085392863327) <6455061>
Lost Boys (085393353025) <6723094>
Texas Chainsaw Massacre Spec Ed WS (794043703126) <6254652>

(update 4/5)
To clear up some confusion (or create more!), I've just retrieved my notes and here's the best I can tell. I've got a really small picture of what the sign looks like so I'm going to do my best to interpret what's on the sign and what's on the plan-o-gram.

SIGN READS:
"Buy 1 Special Edition DVD, get 1 free 17.99 each"
Choose from Big Red One (Special Edition 2 pack) - Batman (Special Edition) - Robin Hood Prince of Thieves - Texas Chainsaw Massacre - True Romance (Unrated) - Wyatt Earp (Special Edition) - Rebel Without a Cause - New Jack City (Special Edition) - JFK (Special Edition) - Boogie Nights (Platinum Series) - Seven (Platinum Series) - Unforgiven (Special Edition) - Right Stuff (Special Edition) - Magnolia - Lost Boys - Enter the Dragon (Special Edition) - Blade 2 - Space Jam (Special Edition) - One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

Titles on sign, but not in the plan-o-gram for display:
Batman (1989 - Special Edition)
New Jack City (Special Edition)
Right Stuff (Special Edition)


Titles in the plan-o-gram for display, but not on signage:
East of Eden (Special Edition 2pk)
Giant (Special Edition)
Mission (Special Edition)

Any chance titles may vary store to store? I'm hoping for 'Singin' in the Rain' and/or 'Dr. Zhivago'.

I had similar issues.

I went to the checkout counter with:

Giant
East of Eden
Rebel Without a Cause
Mission
Robin Hood Prince of Thieves
Wyatt Earp

I had the most interest in the first four, but when they rung up, I only got the B1G1 discount on one title. The cashier was nice, and patient. We tried separate transactions and I got Rebel Without a Cause and Wyatt Earp B1G1, but the others didn't work. Sadly, Wyatt Earp is probably the one I wanted the least... tacked on just to make an even number.

Thanks

The Best Buy here in Salem, OR had the titles in a stand, but no sign to go with them. I asked a clerk if they were B1G1 free and he laughed at me and said no.

I took Lost Boys and Unforgiven to the register and checked out. The lady said the total was 35.98. I thought that was odd because they are both stickered at 24.99. then about 15 seconds later the message came on her screen that they are B1G1 free, for 17.99. That was when the dvd guy came by the register and was saying he didn't know and "it's not in the flyer". They then asked how i knew. and thats when i felt like a Uber-geek....and said the internet.

so if they dont have signs for them they are probably still in the system or will be my monday.

After working with the Cashier, I was able to get The Big Red One, Boogie Nights, JFK and Magnolia. No luck on East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause, or the Mission.
