West Side Story SE - $7.50 at Target?!
I received my flyer from Target this week and they have a list of DVDs on sale for $7.50. Nothing great, the usual, predictable stuff. But, lo and behold, pictured is a copy of the SE of West Side Story! The one that can't be had for under $20. It's most likely a misprint, but will they honor it? The sale starts tomorrow.

Target is notorious for using the Special Edition picture for the their 7.50 sales ad and then not honoring it once you get to the store. They usually don't honor it by simply not having one single copy of the Special Edition pictured and a plethora of the raggedy bare bones editions of the movies.
It has happened to me on the:
Dances With Wolves Special Edition
The Good, the Bad , and the Ugly Special Edition
However, Wal-Mart did match their price on both of these sets. Its sad business for Target in my opinion.

Just came back from Target in Mount Vernon, NY. They didn't have it anywhere. But they did have the regular edition right above the sign for "$7.50 West Side Story Special Edition". I asked and received a raincheck. I'm gonna keep the ad because the raincheck does not specifically say "special edition"
anyone else have luck at Target?

natevines, you must have a lot of copies of the flyer. each time i try to PM, they always keep the ad.
I drove to another Target and they had only one left and honored the price. I tried CC but they were too smart, they kept me waiting for over 20 minutes while they called Target to confirm the price. no dice there. I must say this is a change. Usually i find it harder to PM at BB and easier at CC

Last night i got it at Best buy for $7.50 (they had just one copy) at first they said that below are cost, but the manager came out show her the ad she said ok.
I watch it this morning it's really good for a movie that's 44 years old (1961)

In terms of the PM, it only took a few mins at CC so that they could contact the manager. At BB it was really easy. He just scrutinized the ad to see if it was the same DVD and wrote up some form and gave it to me.
