What the what is he talking about? The deal is showing up just fine on mine. I went with Flash Gordon and Darkman! I almost bit on Flash for $15 before I realized I hate buying blus over $9.

Re: Buy 2 Select Blu-Rays for $20 & get a free $15 Gift Card @ BestBuy.com

Actually got around to picking up my order of 'Wanted' and 'Serenity' this afternoon after work and that's when I was told they would ship the gift card and to expect it in about 3-5 days.

Took a look around and found 'Unforgiven' and 'Natural Born Killers: The Directors Cut' on the shelves both stickered at full price. There was only one copy of each (I don't know if they had a display), so I took them up and they rang up at the $7.99 price.

I figured I couldn't wait for the gift card and obviously run the risk of them being sold out, so I picked them up there and then. I'll use the $15 some other time

I picked up "Wanted" and "Serenity" today for 2 for $20 in store and got the $15 gift card but not after some arguing and manager involvement. I turned around and picked up The Crazies Blu-ray on the gift card with a few cents to spare.

I saw that $7.99 display. Some decent titles.

Hmmm, site hiccup? I put an order in at home, no pickup ready e-mail yet.

can anyone else confirm which version of Natural Born Killers is on sale? the website has the theatrical cut only but the picture in the ad looks like the directors cut on the spine.

The ad says Directors Cut and that's what I picked up. I didn't actually see any other version at my store. I'm not sure if they had a separate stand for the $7.99 blu's since I got mine right from the shelf which didn't have any signage either

They both are. My store only had the non-digibook director's cut though.

The only one I saw was the Original Uncut Version in the regular BR case. Here's a picture with a very bad PS job!

Did you do a in-store pickup? When I ordered it online, I opted for in-store pickup of the BDs and the gift card will be mailed to me.

But you are not leaving the store with only have spent $5. You would have spent 20$.. received the gift card and then on your next time back.. that $20 item.. drop the 15$ gift card and 5$ and then you get your item.. So it is a great deal still and I'm not arguing that. But what stores have been doing with these gift cards is getting people to come back through those doors.



So get your 2 movies.. Then go pick up green zone for $5 after the gift card!

3 blu's for 25$ is awesome!

That link leads to a page where the deal looks like it WAS sitting, but now there's nothing to choose.

Also, if you look for the individual titles, there is no mention of a free $15 GC offer. It only mentions the 2 for $20 offer. All 4 titles are sold out now, anyway, and no longer available for in-store pick-up. So it's dead from all angles. Congrats to everyone who got in on this. Sweet deal...

I received shipping confirmation for the GC but nothing about Flash or Darkman yet.

They didn't have wanted at my store so i just left it in the cart.. Now both of my titles are gone from the cart.. but not the $15 gift card! I wonder why I almost never go into best buy anymore.
