Very good pre-order sale @ Best Buy
Best Buy is running one of those buy 2 get $10.00 off sales. Well not only is the list good (all TV box sets) but the prices are not the usual shabby prices they have compared to Amazon. They are actually falling into line with other online vendors.
See this link for all the titles http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....at156200050012
I got Samantha Who & Grey's 4 for 49.98 + NYS tax AND they also allowed
me to check In-store pickup !!

I think this is a very big deal that Best Buy is allowing in store pickup on preordered items. They have never done this before. I hope this is a new policy and not just for this sale. Their shipping costs are usually a deal breaker for me.

They are pretty good deals but I am afraid they might have other deals and the prices might be cheaper as the release date comes and have certain "add-ons or collectables" if you buy it that opening week. Any advice or is it a gamble?

I don't think it's a gamble.
The Buena Vista titles (Desperate Housewives / Grey's Anatomy) have generally been at $29.99 the first week if I'm recalling correctly. I only remember that LOST: Season 1 had a Best Buy bonus disc.
On the $39.99 titles I would wait as you would gain another $5 off but on the $19.99 & 29.99 titles this seems to be a deal in our favor.

I'm still amazed that this season's TV-DVD sets are coming out at the SAME MSRP as previous seasons, despite the fact that most are a good 8-9 episodes shorter, which means we're getting ike 2/3 the content but paying the same price. What a rip!

That's because these are all Disney (or related entities) shows, while Pushing Daisies is a WB show.

Brothers and Sisters had a Bonus Disc at Target.
$41.99 is high, especially since we have fewer episodes. I think B&S was $34.99 last year and I paid $39.99 for the bonus disc set.
I am thinking if no bonus discs, I will just wait for a price drop a month or two after release. B&S seemed to drop quickly last year.

LOST II had a Best Buy Bonus disc (one of the recap episodes and a few extra deleted scenes.)
I suppose the fact that I haven't actually watched it yet proves just how vital those bonuses are...

Anyone heard if they are doing another one of those ABC TV show rebates this year--$10 off two shows, $30 off 3, $40 off 4 etc? Those have been great the past 2 years--especially since you didn't need to cut and mail things in--just enter codes online.

All of these are an extra % off right now since best buy is having a sale of 25% off all TV on DVD--looks like they took the % off the sale price and not retail--so may be worth the hassle of calling to cancel old orders and re-placing
Prices are currently the following, before extra $10 off for buying 2:
