Sounds too good to be true. The website has Buffy sets at 49.99 which would be 34.99 after the $15 instead of 19.99 a set. Looks like the sale price includes the discount.

I just saw the weekly flyer.
$17.99 is price AFTER $15 instant rebate. The regular price for Buffy S1 is $32.99.
Also, $34.99 is price for Buffy S2-S7 AFTER $15 instant rebate. The regular price for Buffy S2-S7 is $49.99 each.
In conclusion, Speedy posted correct information in his original post.

The prep tactics I've mentioned above have helped me tremendously and I find that as long as I'm friendly and courteous, the BB employees will usually respond in kind.
So... YES, I think you're plan of going early is on the right track. (I usually go an hour before in winter ....
)
Good luck and report back!

Season 1 is $32.99 - $15 = $17.99 + Tax (price YOU Pay)

Speedy, just wanted to thank you for the posting of the ad and the advice. I was the first one in the parking lot at 9AM, the first one in line at the door at 10:45, and the first one to get the laptop.
Thanks so much!

I would say it is probably a mini comic, much like the one that was included in the recent Underworld Extended DVD release.

People think I'm weird because I ask/care whether a DVD is single or dual layer, but avoiding single layer discs is one of my rules like never pay more than $15 for any new release, never pay more than $10 for any re-release, and never pay more than $20 for any TV series.

What do you do when you're in the same situation I'm often in since you're one of the few who understands why I look for disc capacity info? That is, you have an older DVD release of something you really like and a re-release with new extras or a supposedly better transfer comes out, but you can't find any reviews or reliable layer info. Do you post messages until you find out, wait weeks or months for a review to mention it before buying, or buy it right away and hope for the best? A lot of times I do the latter but then I try to find out before my 30 days are up.

However, Amazon has the new Slimcase packages listed at $27.99/season, available May 30th.
