Blockbuster's "Guaranteed In-Stock"

I was wondering if this on-going promotion has the same titles guaranteed in all areas. If they are, is it possible to get a thread going saying which titles are guaranteed? Pretty much any title they guarantee will be all checked out on a Friday or Saturday, so going in on those days and getting the free coupon seems like a good (and legal) way to get some free rentals. Is a sticky thread a possibility? Does anyone care nearly as much as I do?

The Blockbuster website has a list of what titles are Guaranteed in Stock

Syriana
Failure to Launch
The Matador
The Benchwarmers

All those titles have been in stock the last couple of times I've gone in.

Blockbuster has (had?) gone to guaranteeing titles a few weeks after release (after the demand dies off). Not a particularly useful thread to have sticking around.

Ahhh, I didn't know that. Although I think Benchwarmers seemed to be guaranteed the week it came out (which is still worthless). I'm gonna check it out the next couple weeks to see what the deal is. If worthwhile movies turn out to be guaranteed off the bat on a semi-regular basis, I expect more enthusiasm out of you guys

As I had hoped, Inside Man was a guaranteed in-stock rental at my local Blockbuster (West Los Angeles) and I got a free rental coupon since all copies were checked out. Any chance of making this a sticky and getting more people to chime in?
