re: Best Buy / bestbuy.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray
It's not about command of the language. It's about a concept, and I was just trying to explain it. I wasn't attacking kenbenobi, and I see no reason why you felt the need to sarcastically attack me.
But I'm actually posting deal information so here goes...
Some of those $9.99 B1G1 titles have larger trade-in values at Amazon. If you only want to buy one film, you can pick up another and trade it for Amazon credit for more than $5. A few examples (at the moment) are Lawrence of Arabia ($8.95), The Rum Diary ($6.50), 30 Minutes or Less ($6.48) and Of Gods and Men ($7.34). Even though some may be sold out online, they may still be available in store. You only get 7 days to ship the titles to Amazon.

They should call them Blu-ray One-Disc Essentials.
Holding out for a lower LOA "Limited Edition".

It was available for most of the day for home shipping. If you missed it, I would check back. It was still available, but on backorder when I posted.

Finally ordered LoA. Got an email that LoA is available to pick up. Strange when I went to the same store yesterday they didn't have it. Since I ordered online, I am forced to wait for Inside Job to ship out even though there were at least 6 copies of that particular movie in store.
Also, I was talking to the CSR in the Games section at another BB and was saying that LOA wasn't available for shipping and he was saying that the product was being discountinued. I find it weird that a movie less than 6 months from release date was being discountinued while there were 30+ copies of Zero Dark Thirty in the store. But that's Best Buy for you.

Picked up
Attack the Block
Donnie Brasco
A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop
The Other Guys
$20.00!
Got the 2nd to last copies of ATB and DB. The ones left were both floaters so I guess I got the last good copies. Also picked up an Ernest triple pack dvd set with Goes to Camp, Scared Stupid and Goes to Jail for $4.99
No copies of the $19.99 Avengers set to be found but in the $7.99 bin were several of the 50th Anniversary James Bond movies so check the bins if you are still lacking a couple.

My store had like a dozen copies of LoA last night, which weren't there the day before. So it sounds like they are re-stocking...

This is probably a long shot, but does anyone know if BB will price match using a competitor's coupon? Was hoping to use the Target Disney coupon at BB to get the bonus points.

They've said that they are doing more aggressive price matching but how each store does things is so up and down depending on the manager that there is no way to be sure without trying.

re: Best Buy / bestbuy.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray
Excuse me but I must vent my frustrations.
I placed an order on Sunday evening, I was sure to use my current address. The order was for 4 different blu-rays. They shipped the order out, split up into 4 different packages, 2 packages went to an older address, another to a different older address, and only one was shipped to the current address I requested.
I spoke to customer service when I realized this error, she came just shy of telling me that the issue was my fault for not paying better attention to the tracking information they sent out after the confirmation email.
I finally spoke to someone who realized it was the systems mistake and not mine, however they still expect me to go to the post office to try and intercept the package before it's sent to the wrong address.
I've got no problem doing that, as it's on my way, however I'm pretty sure when I get there they will tell me that the trucks have already left and I'll be on the phone with Best Buy customer service for another 2 hours again.
Okay, end rant.

A few of the titles that were showing as "Sold Out Online" before were available now. I was particularly interested in Stand by Me and was disappointed when it wasn't listed previously as available.

wow. Some great titles in this batch. I ordered Lawrence of Arabia and Pirates band of misfits. I was going to get a second batch, but it looks like it doesn't work if both of the items are backordered.

I was able to place a BOGO order with Stand by Me and The Pirates, both backordered.

Placed a 2nd order on this sale and thought I missed out on LoA again. It went from backorder to not available by the time I started to order. But it's available for pickup at a local store so will do that (and wait for Stand by Me to ship).
$5.43 with tax, after RZ coupon. Gotta love this sale.

Stopped in at my local Best Buy and took advantage of the 2-for-1 deal. Thankfully, they still had copies of "Lawrence of Arabia", so I picked up that and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind".

re: Best Buy / bestbuy.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray
I placed an order for Attack Block and Gun, Noodle... when both were in stock early in the sale.
Just received an email from Best Buy that Attack the Block is still backordered and if it is not in-stock by 3/31, they will either cancel the order or I can call them in advance and try to see if a nearby store has a copy I can pick up or select a comparable title.
Does anyone have any experience with this? It was a B1G1, so a) will I be charged the full price for the other title if they simply cancel Attack the Block and b) is the replacement title limited to titles that were part of the promotion or do you think they will just make it general to any title they sell for the same price?
EDIT: Just got off the phone with the rep. She could not extend the date to keep the backorder open, but notated in the open case that if the title were to be canceled and I call back, I would be able to substitute another Blu-ray title that is the same price ($9.99) and it will be shipped to me for free since I have already been charged the full order price for the BOGO order and am entitled to one free title.
I expect this to be a headache if/when Attack the Block gets canceled on 4/1. But, if all goes well, I'm going to try to sub in either The Cincinnati Kid or The Name of the Rose.

Expect a headache, mostly for having to deal with Best Buy's customer service over the phone. I don't believe they will somehow add an extra $5 charge after the fact, if the other item has already shipped out and the backordered one gets canceled. You simply won't get the backordered Blu-ray.
