As a Best Deny expert, I can tell you that if you tried this at any stores in my area you would be told either the pricematch OR the $5 manufacturer's coupon because offers can't be combined. However, I know from reading others' experiences that Best Denys in other states might do both if you find a nice employee who doesn't get off on denying (most do). So you should go in expecting to get denied, but you might get lucky. My advice is to buy it at Target with the $5 mfg. coupon and save your $5 RZ certificate for something else if it doesn't expire soon.

I verified that's true. The $3 off coupon only works on the expensive combo version of The Other Guys. Not having seen this movie, $12.99 is past my blind buy range, but at $9.99 I'd bite. However, I'd rather not add another title to my return pile by placing an order now and hoping they'll apply the $3 coupon afterwards (though it seems several people are having success). I may try calling them to see if they can place the order for $9.99 on the spot. Otherwise, I'll wait. I expect all of these BDs will be $9.99 or less by the end of 2011.

Yeah, that's what I'm going to do. My cert is about to expire but I might use it on The Office S5 BD taking that down to $14.99.

Thanks, I sent a follow-up and explained that I've had credits applied after the fact several times before and I know others have as well, so due to that and the fact that I do a large amount of business with Amazon, I would like the $4.00 credit applied. They e-mailed me back again saying they can't do it right now, but they'll credit $4.00 to my credit card. Works for me. I like Amazon's customer service overall, but it seems like some agents try to shoot you down initially and you have to come back at them to get them to do what they should've done in the first place. Oh well; all's well that end's well, I suppose.

I LOVE how Amazon PM's this. No need to go out in the cold for these movies I wanted since we are expecting snow up here in the tri-state area.

I picked up
Chuck S3
A-Team
Expendables for $8.99 via Twitter deal

Best Buy is running a 2 for $24 sale which not only includes the "regular" versions of certain movies, but also the Limited Edition or Gift Sets of some films, including: Wanted LE, Coraline 3D, Coraline Gift Set, Mamma Mia! Gift Set, Hellboy 2 Gift Set.

Re: Happy New Year Best Buy Media Prices (December 26 - January 1, 2011)

I didn't see this mentioned anywhere else. Right now Best Deny has a few BD deals (even I placed an order for a few, including The Other Guys, as this deal beats Amazon's $12.99 minus the YMMV $3 off coupon):

From http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthr...0279&t=2515415

1. Add The Other Guys (Blu-ray) to cart
2. Add one of the following $7.99 Blu-rays to cart:
* Across the Universe
* Black Hawk Down
* Dracula
* Kung Fu Hustle
* House of Flying Daggers
* Dogma
* The One
(S.W.A.T. is also included but more expensive)
3. Total will be $15.98 with free shipping

From: http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2515387
There are 25 $7.99 BDs with free shipping. Here is the direct link:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olstempl...s&nrp=26&iht=n

Here's the list:
Superbad
Across the Universe
Underworld
Ghostbusters
Labyrinth
Final Fantasy VII: Adventu Children
Black Hawk Down
Dark Crystal
Ghost Rider
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Kung Fu Hustle
Dogma
House of Flying Daggers
The Natural
You Don't Mess with the Zohan
Jason and the Argonauts
Leon the Professional
Bad Boys
The One
The Karate Kid (1984)
Charlie's Angels
The International
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

EDIT: Now that I bought the ones I'm interested in, Amazon will probably PM those titles if you want to wait a while. They may not PM The Other Guys + 1 BD deal, but the rest will probably be $7.99 soon. Fortunately it's easy to return .com things to the store.

Picked up Chuck S3, and The A-Team, fab, fab prices.

Also got them to PM the Fry's ad for the Spidey blu-ray set for $19.99, so that was a very nice Best Buy visit.

Funny thing about those $7.99 titles. I was at BB on Thursday I think to pick up Superbad since BB.com had it for $7.99. It was in a bin with others but those rang up at full price. Glad I stopped in today to grab those now (although for some reason the sign on the bin said $8.99, but it rang up at the right price).

Yeah, I actually found those while looking for sales on their site and was coming to post. I Wanted LE, Coraline Gift Set, and Hellboy 2 Gift Set plus Van Helsing. $24.36 shipped for each order (had to place 2 seperate orders for discount to work). I'm a sucker for collector's sets but couldn't bring myself to buy Mamma Mia.

Re: Happy New Year Best Buy Media Prices (December 26 - January 1, 2011)

Does anyone here ever fill out the survey on Best Buy receipts?
I am kinda doubting Best Buy actually gives any prizes for doing this.
I've filled out the survey like 20 times and have never gotten anything.

I stopped my and got 4 $7.99 titles.
1. Pursuit of Happiness
2. Little Miss Sunshine
3. Kung Fu Hustle
4. Bad Boys
