$5 off Aladdin READ

OK, I believe this should work...

(1) You can pre-order Aladdin for either

$19.99
or
$42.99

(2) Receive this Digi Dollar coupon for $5 from best buy
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....&type=category

(3) Select in-store pick up.

(4) And then on the day of the release, as you pick it up, you can have them adjust the price with the lowest ad in town. I would imagine this would be about $15.99, probably at Target. I would assume this would mean that you would get the DVD for a final price of around $19.99 - price match discount (about $4) - coupon ($5) = $10.99

I don't think you can select "in-store pickup" for pre-orders.

a) The preorder price is usually automatically adjusted if BB's advertised price is lower that week

b) You can't pricematch online orders ... think of BB and BB online pickup as two different stores.

c) You won't get the digital coupon till after you received Aladdin.

d) BB no longer offers free shipping on DVDs, so you'd be paying tax AND shipping for it.

h) You might find a better deal by pre-ordering it at Toys R Us for $5 and picking up a free Genie Beanie with the DVD. They'll still PM to the lowest advertised price, plus get a cute little toy.

j) There will probably be some groovy deals going on with that big of a Di$ney title. Last year I got Lion King for $3 and change plus some snack goodies by racking up those red checkstand coupons at Fred Meyer (works at any Kroger based store).

I'm hoping that will happen a month from now.

l) you are assuming they will even give you the digital dollars. It has been four months and they refuse to give me the digital dollars for my SCTV order.

n) That's right Dark, you just reminded me. B never gave me my SCTV DD either. I ended up returning it, there's no use arguing with them, they don't care.

S -- Since I don't plan on hanging around till Z! For what it's worth, I'm probably going with the TRU pre-order (no Disney's here anymore!) . . . as long as I don't have to deal with the headache that I did with Brother Bear . . . reserved at one price, then when I picked it up they tried adding the $5 back on instead of taking it off (and then tried to sell me an extended warranty on the disc!).
