Re: Best Buy Upgrade and Save 7/14 - 8/10

Welp, I did finally get something from this U&S after all.

Picked up three today:

(all after U&S)
The Call $10
Dead Man Down $10
Miami Vice/Inside Man $5

so that makes 4 with the Jerk now. Still no comic book hero steelbooks though and I've been to 5 different stores.

Look behind things and in spots you wouldn't think they'd be in. I found them after quite a bit of searching, but they were really all over the place.

Absolutely horrendous selection. Took in 5 expendable dvd's and could barely find anything worthwhile. Left with the Daredevil/Elektra/LXG 3 pack and the Fantastic Four 2 pack. Figured getting $20 worth of Wolverine movie cash makes it worthwhile.

Next week I'm getting GI Joe, Banshee and one more title and that will be it. I think I'm done with this sale after Tuesday.

Picked up X Men First Class $4.99 with Wolverine movie money when I heard Red Robin is giving $3 off with Wolverine ticket stub. Win Win!

I dunno how you found that, but on my screen it reads "Not For Individual Sale" where the price should be.

J%#€££.

I looked on the site and the in store kiosk and its doesn't come up.
Otherwise why would I ask if anyone else sees it.

Even while I go to that link my other self provided see Dick Tracy there and then type Dick Tracy in the search, Dick Tracy doesn't come up.
I tried searching with Warren Beatty too.

The in-store kiosk is BestBuy.com. You realize that, right?

If you haven't, ask an employee to look at their store inventory. Otherwise, you'll be SOL.

I do, I worked in one for half a year.
I have asked and the stores I was in couldn't find it on their employee database search either.

How did you find it? Did you get someone in store to search the employee database?

I just searched Dick Tracy and 80 items come up and none of them are the bluray.

I couldn't find it, either, and neither could either of the two in-store associates who tried to help me. And again, it's worth noting that the link provided by My Other Self does not lead to a purchasable item.

With that SKU, the employees should be able to look it up in the internal system. They obviously still sell it in store since I got a copy and so did STLCARDINALS.

It's entirely possible your stores don't have them, but the store itself does still have it in their system even if the website indicates they're not stocking it.

Here's the sticker on my copy.

The most interesting thing to me is that the genre on that sticker reads, "DRAMA". I would never have thought to have even looked in that section for it. Though I scoured everything they had because I had such a hard time finding anything that remotely interested me I would've found it there had they had one.

Picked up X-Men: The Last Crap for the Wolverine cash and Legendary Amazons and Ripper Street as blind buys. I really hope Ripper Street is better than Amazons turned out to be.

Why'd you have five copies of The Expendables?

Re: Best Buy Upgrade and Save 7/14 - 8/10

I was in today and picked up Dredd 3D and figured since they had it, I'd price match the Amazon price of Evil Dead 2 for $4.75.

I had price-matched Amazon prices last Fall before Christmas, and it was a pretty smooth process. It wasn't so much today. The girl was very reluctant then informed me since Amazon charges $3.99 per item for shipping under $25 she would have to add that to the total. I wasn't going to argue with her since maybe that's part of their new price-match policy with Amazon, but it's ridiculous. She said if I had Prime and could "prove" it to her, she'd waive the $3.99. At that point I felt she was talking out of her ass, so I told her to forget it and I'd just go next door to Target since they don't do that.

She then decided to not add the "shipping charge", and gave it to me for this one time as a courtesy.

Is this standard BB policy now? It doesn't even make any sense; how can they charge me Amazon's shipping fee when I'm essentially cutting out the middle man to pick up the disc myself? Anyway, I was annoyed, but I guess this is the last time I'll price match there.
