They also had a display in the center aisle of the media section with one side dedicated to Boardwalk Empire. I was hoping to find it there, but when I got there they had yet to even stock the shelves. They had all the sets of BWE stacked up in the floor.

LOL. I have no issue of somebody liking Green Lantern over American Beauty (heck I liked Green Lantern a lot more than most people did). However, when somebody returns a movie simply because they didn't like it, and act like they are entitled to another movie, they shouldn't even own a player in the first place. Darn redneck, but it figures since he's a cowboy fan

I'm shocked Best Buy even let him buy/exchange it for another movie considering that their policy says they don't refund or exchange open dvd/bd unless they are defective.

Re: Best Buy Upgrade & Save, Jan 8 - Jan 28, 2012
Did my second round of trade-ins today. The CS rep who checked me out is the same one who did on Sunday. This time I had no resistance, and no one told me I was supposed to select BDs from a list. Just handed them three DVDs and three BDs, got the discount no problem. No overrides needed either. I got:
Heavenly Creatures $9.99
The Last Lions $9.99
Boardwalk Empire (BB Exclusive w/bonus disc) $29.99
Interesting note: The woman in front of me on line was also trading in and getting Boardwalk Empire. She had one DVD in hand plus, apparently, a second trade-in coupon. The cashier asked, "You couldn't find a second Blu-ray you want?"
The woman answered, "No."
Next thing I was able to make out was her total for her purchase: a little over $27.00, including tax. It appears the cashier let her use both trade-in coupons on the Boardwalk Empire set and let her have it for $24.99. Obviously this violates the terms of the deal, but I wondered what would have happened if I had walked up with two trades and a BD box set as my only purchase. Hmmm...$10 off?
Also, it was only after re-reading threads here and on other boards that I noticed people were getting the DVDs they brought in for trade stickered by the security guy at the door. When I did my first trades on Sunday, I just walked in with the DVDs in a bag (didn't show them to the guy who checks receipts). I guess I'm lucky I didn't get accused of swiping them or something lol.

Shawerma, I don't know if they'll give it to you without buying an HBO title, but you could try. Technically, it's marked one cent, and they charged me a cent for it even though I bought an HBO BD. Maybe add it to your other purchases and see if they ring you up for a penny?

Sad to see what Romo's been up to his first week off.
I had no idea you had to buy another HBO title to get the deal. I just walked up with it as part of my purchase and got it for a penny.
Traded in six movies for six coupons...had to go to CS to do the trade, but they gave 'em up, no questions asked.
Walked out with:
American Beauty (no problem on the price)
Killer Inside Me
Raging Bull 30th
Sweeney Todd
....all for $20ish, plus I have two coupons left over for next week.

I picked up:
Boardwalk Empire - 29.99
Cape Fear - 4.99
Mr. Popper's Penguins - 12.99
I also got both bonus discs (Boardwalk disc and Game of Thrones)
I tried to get Stripes but they wouldn't apply the coupon since it was on sale for 9.75. I asked the cashier if it could be priced at 9.99 and then deduct the coupon and was told that it wasn't possible. I then just decided to have it removed from my ticket. However, when I got out to my car and was getting out a cd (Black Keys) that I bought I found that copy of Stripes in my bag. I realize it wasn't my fault that the Stripes was in my bag but I had to take it back and return it to the store. The cashier laughed and said thanks.

Went into Best Buy tonight and traded 4 DVDs
1) Next -- Bad Nic Cage movie I got used for cheap
2) Rocky Balboa -- Just got the Rocky BD set, so I don't need it anymore
3) We were Soldiers -- Bought the BD a month or so ago for $8
4) Executive Decision/Unlawful Entry double feature.
Picked up:
Boardwalk Empire season 1 with bonus disc and Game of Thrones BD sampler -- $29.99 + 0.01
Killer Elite -- $14.99
The Debt -- $12.99
Moneyball -- $14.99
$79 and change out the door. Glad I got $20 in coupons that would only fetch 25 cents each on Amazon.
