I don't think Bestbuy.com allows you to link to individual items because of the site's use of cookies. However, the version of Traffic you are looking for has a regular price of 34.99.

Not sure if everyone else got this message, but just got a bestbuy.com email stating "The item listed below is not yet available to be shipped. We expect to ship it from our distribution center on 01/21/2005." (Traffic CC) so hopefully they'll keep up with that date, wouldn't mind waiting 2 weeks for such a solid deal.

Thanks for the heads up OP. Hopefully this will work out well. Best Buy seems to be really slipping this week. They also have Men of Valor for Xbox for $19.99 in their ad. It is $49.99 everywhere else.

Yep, just received that email. Don't mind the wait a bit.
Does anyone know, though, if they'll ship in two separate orders because of the backorder?

I received an email saying Amistad (DTS) is backordered, not Traffic.

Just placed a second order, actually pre-orders, for Hoosiers CE and Stand By Me DE, went through for a total of $18.25 including shipping. Deal seems to still be alive. Weird.

As stated above the price tag is $34.99 but this version of Traffic doesn't have a picture, either. ^^

I just tried it again with Hoosiers and Stand By Me and they are showing full price. How did you do it? I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thanks

I just did the same thing. I'm crossing my fingers, hoping it works.

OP: Thanks for the tip!

A big thanks to the OP. My haul-Showgirls, Hoosiers and Knight's Tale Superbit delivered for $27.83. BB has always honored misprices in the past for me(James Bond set, anime titles for $8.99 each and so on).

Thanks a bunch OP! I went for Traffic CC (backordered but still available) and Rudy CE. I chose in-store pickup for Rudy to save $1.25 -- Traffic had to be shipped since it was not available for in-store pickup at my local BBs. Was going to go for Showgirls Box but my morals kept me from getting it -- can you actually display that box in the same DVD collection with the Scarface Box, LOTR Boxes, Hitchcock CC Set, etc... without degrading the entire collection?

That was their practice and I felt confident of getting some misprices from them in the past. However I'm afraid that hasn't been true for over a year now when items were backordered and they had a chance to catch the error. They cancelled the order. Here's text from a previous cancellation:
There's been a change to the status of your order.

Your order has been canceled because of an error in our system. We apologize for any inconvenience. If you would like to order these items again, please visit BestBuy.com.

Yeah, I'm trying to make a second order and it doesn't seem to work either.

Do you think we're doing something wrong or is it Best Buy's cookies? I don't get it.

I think it may be bestbuy. At least for me, it seems that this deal can only be used once (or on one order). I made my order with two DVDs, and when I went to make a second it didn't work. However, when I logged out of my account, it worked fine. So I had to order it with a separate credit card.
Is it your first order that you're having trouble with, Metalfan?

Oh, and BTW, since Hoosiers is preordered and Traffic is backordered, does anyone know if Bestbuy ships items separately? Or will I have to wait until Hoosiers is released to receive my stuff?

What is the deal with Day Another Day for $69.99. Another no picture one. Dvdpricesearch only lists one widescreen version for around $9.99. I forget the name but there was also a VHS that was $129.99. I wonder if any of these will ship or if they are all price errors.
