There would be no additional charge. When one item of a BOGOR ships you are charged the full price of the order. So, it's really either they'd need to refund me half the purchase price or send a same-priced title for free.

But, yeah, I expect a headache.

My copy of Gandhi is backordered, so I hope they don't pull the same thing with my order. The fact that a giant retailer like Best Buy can't get a widely available title from a major studio in stock after two weeks is pretty questionable to me.

It's been 50-50 with me ordering anything that was later declared out of stock by Best Buy. Half the time I've received it, the other half it was cancelled since they couldn't get it within 30 days. For just about every super deal they've offered that they've claimed was out of stock, it was cancelled after 30 days. I've had better luck with others such as Frys, which some times took 6 weeks but never cancelled the order.

I got the notice about my (free) Gandhi blu-ray's impending cancellation this afternoon. I made it clear to the phone rep that I didn't mind waiting for it to come back in stock, so she told me she would update to the order to extend the cancellation date. I was skeptical, given that an extension was not listed as an option in the e-mail I was sent. In the end, all she did was try to update the shipping information. I got an e-mail a couple minutes later that the shipping info had been changed, but my address is still listed correctly under the order status. She said this should "reset" the cancellation date, but to call back and extend it again if I get a cancellation e-mail on Thursday (though how can they extend an order that's been canceled?). Yeah, this will probably turn into a headache. What kind of system are these guys running?

Probably the type designed where a phone rep can't really cancel the cancellation date.

Thanks b2net! Some of the comedy ones will be BOGO free next week at BBY. Others are also $5 (no UV code; e.g., Green Mile, The Fugitive, Dirty Dozen) or $7.88 with UV code (e.g., Conan the Barbarian, Hall-Pass) at Wal-Mart.

re: Best Buy / bestbuy.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray

Should be interesting to see what happens with Attack the Block now. The email I received said it would be canceled 3/31 if it was still backordered. I forgot to check yesterday, but I just checked my order now and it says "In Process" (the stage before Shipped) and Attack the Block is back in stock.

I'm expecting it to ship today or tomorrow now, but it's Best Buy, so I'm not holding my breathe.

^ My free copy of Gandhi that was scheduled for cancellation today just shipped. Glad I didn't order it a day or two earlier when it was still backordered.

Ordered Mary, Big Trouble, Back to School and My Cousin Vinny. Never owned any of them before (except Mary on VHS), so this was a pretty decent deal.

Yeah, I don't get the why bother comment. Good deal for anyone who is missing some of these. Trying to think what to pair with Big Trouble in Little China myself.

re: Best Buy / bestbuy.com discounts and deals on Blu-ray

I'd pick up Back to School and My Cousin Vinny but I've seen both so many times I doubt I'd open either. Definitely some nice titles for those that don't already have them. Also, All About Steve isn't as bad as everyone says. I expected nothing and enjoyed it. It's certainly better than Miss Congeniality 2.

I've been looking for My Cousin Vinny at the last two U&S's, so I was glad to finally grab it. Picked City Slickers to go with it (a blind buy)
