Unfortunately, no. Bait and switch is very specific - it's when a company advertises a specific item that it knows is not in stock, then tries to upsell the customer to something else when he comes into the store looking for the advertised product.

Yeah, I'm going up to Springfield for a Falcons game tonight, so I plan to stop in Enfield to see what they've got. I went when the sale first started and got two used things, so I'm hoping they've still got a few good things left.

Was there last night. Only walked away with two CDs and two DVDs. Not too much in terms of DVDs that I want.

The one in 100 Oaks in Tennessee sucks ass, they do have lots of guitars. DVDs they have some Puffy shirt Seinfeld sets for $60, but there DVD's are basically animes and they have tons of Bret the Hitman Harts and Robert DeNiro in The Swap. CD's were limited to K-Tel rejects.

I haven't been since the sale started, so hopefully there'll be something there for me on Monday.
On an unrelated note, does anyone know how to get the DVDtalk picture buttons (i.e. reply with quote, and the pictures on the forum page) to come up using the Firefox code to get rid of ads/banners? I don't have a problem at other forums.

D'oh, false advertising is what I was thinking.

What were the discounts on the things?

Seems to have the current discounts that are at all Media Plays.

50% CDs
40% DVDs (anime 50%)
40% Video games
50% Magazines
60% Toys

Not too many "deals" left. I'm still waiting in hopes that DVDs go down to 50% to pick up a few UFCs that they still have.

Has anyone found out yet why they can no longer sell the books?

Ingram wanted them back.

Alright, thanks.

Media Play hadn't paid Ingram the money that they owed them. Ingram went and got a court order to keep Media Play from selling anymore books.

Meh, nothing much at media play in enfield. Some decent deals on some things if someone really wanted them, but nothing I wanted. I mean, if Evil Dead II Book of the Dead wasn't $37 to begin with, it'd be a good deal. 40% off is like ~$20.

Went to the Media Play in Saginaw, Michigan today. Not many deals left, most everything had been picked over. I bought a few CD's and DVD's, but the best score was 2 of the Pink Floyd "The Wall: Series 2" figures and 2 of the Adult Swim 2-packs.

There was some TV on DVD left... a ton of Cosby Show season 1 and Fat Actress season 1, along with a few copies of Roswell season 1.

Oh, and a lot of the more recent releases like Sin City, Constantine, Skeleton Key, etc. Probably because 40% off of $27.99 is still too god damned expensive.

70 suncoast and sam goody stores will be closing at the end of january. However they will not be liquidated. All books have been pulled across all three franchises.

Yeah, I noticed a few NEW releases left still. I'm hoping it goes to 50% off or something more. I saw a handful of Batman Begins w/comic and a bunch of Evil Dead 2:BotD edition. I'm waiting for 50% off on that....hopefully.

You might call 'em. Or perhaps the better method would be to call your credit card company, if that's how you paid for it.

I know you used to manage a Suncoast in Nashville, TN. Do you know if any of the closings are going to be Nashvile-area stores? Hopefully, your store (in OK?, but perhaps I'm remembering it wrong) is not affected.

Steven

the store in Antioch is closing....I am still in business.

I asked when I stopped by the Saginaw location, and they said that I can call the # on my membership card and get it taken care of.

Very slim pickings left at the 3 Mediaplay stores that are in my general area. I managed to pick up a bunch of CDs last week at 50% off though. Luckily I like a lot of semi obscure bands, so some of their CDs were still there. :)

i went by my local MP and didnt see anything worth buying. Though i did notice they were starting to sale the furniture (chairs from the magazine section in particular). There was this 7 to 7 1/2 ft. tall Master Chief statue they were auctioning off, should have checked to see how high the price had gone

Other than that almost nothing left, and nothing that interests me that would make me go back.

Hey, you were in the 'Naw! Everything was pretty picked over when I was there a couple weeks back, so I can only imagine what it's like now.

Ah heck, I got $25 in certificates left. Do you know if the Suncoast or Sam Goody in Tulsa, OK will still be around?

edit:It would help if I put the state that the town is in.

For your sake, I am glad, Cameron.

Several of the Media Play employees at the Rivergate store are now at the Suncoast across the street. They were informed of their store closing on a Friday, and were across the street the following Monday with a new job. Good for them. They always treated me well when I shopped @ MP.
