Not entirely true. Many of the doorbusters online show IN-STORE ONLY. That being said, they WERE available online Monday for RZ Silver, so I bought my doorbusters already. Thus, your final point is still valid. SOOOO not worth it to camp out...

Where were they available? I'm supposed to be Silver, but never saw anything different than the general public reported seeing.

EDIT: Figured it out; you go into your RZ page and then out to the deals.

Re: Black Friday 2012 - Best Buy Ad

Contact and Moneyball are the same prices at Amazon now. I'm hoping A'zon will keep matching the BB prices because I'm loathe to pay sales tax. Come on, Amazon!

So, what exactly does that mean? I'm looking at the 2 different BDs of Wrath of the Titans at Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Wrath-Titans-UltraViolet-Digital-Blu-ray/dp/B005LAIH5O/ref=sr_1_4?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1353601317&sr=1-4&keywords=wrath+of+the+titans

http://www.amazon.com/Wrath-Titans-Ultraviolet-Digital-Blu-ray/dp/B007XF0X16/ref=sr_1_5?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1353601317&sr=1-5&keywords=wrath+of+the+titans

They look the same to me. Both are BD + Digital Copy... -kd5-

Re: Black Friday 2012 - Best Buy Ad

Unlike Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows which has different front covers for each edition - movie-only and loaded - Wrath of the Titans has the same front cover, but different BACK covers which you can see in the images. Also, the movie-only says as much in the listing.

Good call. I cancelled a few and re-ordered them on Amazon since I have Prime. Moneyball, The Social Network, Wilfred S1, and Contact.

I don't think there is a loaded version of Wrath of the Titans. There is a 2 disc version where one is a DVD (and another one that adds on a 3-D version). But I don't know of one with a bonus features disc.

If I had to guess, I would say the more expensive one is is the Blu-ray + DVD (and the listing just doesn't mention that) and the cheaper one is just the Blu-ray.

Re: Black Friday 2012 - Best Buy Ad

OK, then I just imagined there was a difference between these back covers:

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...L._AA1500_.jpg
Vanilla: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...L._AA1500_.jpg

Snow White and the Thor is now matched at Amazon. Steadily emptying out my BB cart.

Re: Black Friday 2012 - Best Buy Ad

Supernatural S7 (DVD) just dropped to $10 at A'zon taking another item out of my BB cart. I was just about to check out, too.

Also, the Lightning Deal Wrath of the Titans going off at 8:20 pm PST for $8 is the loaded version.

The Best Buy exclusive version (3-disc) of Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol is on sale for $7.99:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Mission+...ocol&lp=3&cp=1
or search for SKU 4947863

Online only, pretty much, as I don't think these are stocked in the stores anymore.

Was there anything special about their exclusive that would make it worth trying to get it? Just wondering sicne it says not in stock but "will deliver when available".

Though part of me would almost wait until they release the inevitable 4-pack of movies...though they will likely be minus some of the extras from other releases...but most of the time I don't get overly excited about the extras that are there.

Re: Black Friday 2012 - Best Buy Ad

Thanks Todd. Somehow missed that earlier when searching. Thinking I might go ahead and order it (and hope I get it) and then if they come out with a 4 pack just get that at a price that would justify the other 3.

Picked up The Hunger Games and Wrath of the Titans.

I'm thinking picking up Snow White & The Huntsman too. Not sure yet.

Re: Black Friday 2012 - Best Buy Ad

w00t! BB sold out of Walking Dead S1 on BR online...but I wandered out to the BM store this morning around 10am and they actually had a couple left. I was really surprised considering how many hours after the store opening we got there. I think someone may have been "hiding" them though. When I got there, I asked a sales guy if they had any left and he showed us the 2 places where they would be, and the space was empty so he declared them "sold out". I kept browsing though and found a different part of the store that had 2 of them that were misplaced in a S1 special edition part of the rack instead...and marked at $17. I compared skew #s and off I went.

If you are RZ silver, check your email. I got another mystery RZ cert good tomorrow and Sunday only. The subject is "2 Days Only: $5000 in certificates could be yours"

Yeah, just received it. Thanks. Might grab a TV series set that's on sale...at least I'm hoping Best Buy still has a few TV series on sale when I use the certificate.

Btw, Fringe S2 (Blu-ray) is finally on sale. But now S1 is not! Dang it.

No Best Buy glitches this year like last year's BEN HUR and CITIZEN KANE? Hard to believe Best Buy actually learned their lesson from a year ago.
