I was pretty amazed they were handing out coupons with the same barcode. Someone here already admitted to copying and using them, so I'm amazed BB doesn't have a lot of problems with that. Maybe they'll soon wise up and find a way to tie them to your Rewards account instead.

Got XMen FC, Grindhouse, and Straw Dogs for $30. The chick grabbed the movies and told me to bring the blus I want as long as theyre marked. And she rang me up. She said I had to take the blus to her so I never saw the coupon or anything.
Im surpised they took the crap I brought. Movies I got for free so its cool!

Does this offer really end on 9/29?, can I stack 3 coupons on a $9.99 title so that they end up giving me 5 bucks back?,do they accept my laserdiscs?

I took in five of those promotional DVDs I got free from Best Buy in the past (Superbad, 300, Hellboy, HBO, etc..) and the clerk took them all with barely a glance. After the discount, I got:
Blues Brothers ($9.99)
Straw Dogs ($4.99)
X-Men First Class ($14.99)
Robocop ($4.99)
Donnie Darko 10th Anniversary 4-Disc set ($0.00)
(I used the $3.00 coupon on Donnie Darko, which the shelf tag said was the same $9.99 price as the regular Donnie Darko BLUray, and was expecting to get it for $1.99, but for some reason, when I got home and looked, it didn't show up on my receipt, although the coupons did, so I guess I got it for free, because I watched the guy scan it.)
Anyway, nice haul for a total of $34.32 after tax.

I have a follow-up to my second experience. I bought Cast Away and examined the exterior today and noted it was as light as air. I opened it to find no disc. It appears to be a factory error, as the shrinkwrap and seal were intact. I called and got shockingly nice service and had a copy held for a direct exchange. I can't wait to go back and find out the whole batch had no discs. I hope not.
Check your copies of Cast Away for discs!

Looks like they raised prices on quite a few titles. Ferris, Friday the 13th, Die Hards, etc.

Deal went from 'warm' to "meh".

Well, that is odd. Ostensibly, you can't, since the Trade & Save only takes place in-store. I can only assume that titles like that were added to the list in error.

All 3 of the Best Buy's I've been to have had all of the individual Die Hard blu releases, and I purchased a set. If you're just looking on the website, the store availability for those titles is wrong. Your best bet is to call your local store and have them check the sku.

I tried this deal yesterday. It took a while to work out. Old School and Ferris both rang up for $14.99 even though both were stickered for $9.99. The manager adjusted but then the coupons wouldn't work since the price was changed so he had to adjust them again. Finally got them for $4.99 each.

For those that got the Donnie Darko 4D for 1.99 + tax (w/ coupon), did the system automatically take the 5.00 coupon? My local BB said that that version of DD was not included in the promo and the coupon would not take.
Did get Ferris (after a small hassle) and POA 2001, so not a complete loss.

In case anyone didn't notice...Avatar Collectors/Extended Edition is on the list and is also on sale for $20 this week, making it $15 after trade-in. However, their system is screwed up and only has the theatrical version in the program instead, and the extended edition will not scan and is not on the display. Thankfully the customer service guy checked the web site and agreed that the extended is the one advertised and got his manager to give me an over-ride. A bit of a hassle, but a great deal in the end.
So far I've scored this one, Punisher 2 for $5, Rio for $15, and Grindhouse for $10. Some nice deals, but not a lot more I'm interested in and don't already have. I have to find at least 1 more as I traded 5 initially. I can't imagine my store would accept the Donnie Darko 4 disk as it's not the one advertised and they seem to be keeping pretty close tabs on eligible titles. Any other high recommendations?

Picked up:
Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown
Grindhouse
Rob Roy
Platoon
Valkyrie
I brought in five dvds, but the clerk said, "Oh, sorry, the coupons are printed two for sheet so I have to give you six. But you can use them all."
Want to go back for Princess Bride, but does anybody have insight as to the quality of that January 2011 release? It's listed as "pan and scan". What?

While I'm not surprised there's a double dip on The Princess Bride BD already (I think they triple or quadruple dipped on the DVD), that pan & scan can't be right. The Princess Bride BD was $5 at Walmart last Black Friday. I think I've got too many editions already... 1 BD and 2 DVDs. They'd have to add something pretty "inconceivable" to get me to buy another BD of it.

I don't think there's any difference between this release and the previous one other than it used to include the DVD and this one only has the blu-ray.

Thanks OP...I am in for X-Men & RIO using two very old, free DVDs I had lying around. No coupon printed as the security guy "tagged" my DVDs when I walked in. I picked out the blu-rays and took everything to customer service. Painless...

Re: Best Buy Trade And Save - Oct. 9 - Oct. 29th
The old Donnie Darko (with the same transfer) is on the list and there is a 3.00 coupon that used to be on coupons.com. You might be able to track a site down that has one. I seem to remember a post where coupons that were on coupons.com and were taken down, could be printed, but I can't find the post.
