Thanks for the updated intel Manzana!

I suppose you could buy it online with free shipping from BBY if you want to own it. There were a couple titles I was going to do that with today, but My Cousin Vinny won't be one of them. I bet I'm one of very few people who would pass on a $4.99 title because it's single layer.

Same problem @ my BB with sale prices not being in the computer. Clerk had to get overides on all 6 of the titles I got. I even tried the 10% coupon, but it didn't work - guess because it wasn't "regular" price??.
Picked up -
Remington Steele S2 & S3
Pretender S3
NYPD Blue S3
Time Tunnel V1
and Transporter 2
Since the 10% coupon didn't work, I thought about PMing @ CC & getting 10% of difference - should be a little more than 10% of sale price.

One more example of BBs' dumbness - they have a B2G1 sale going on now (thru Jul 8) & all of the titles are the ones WM just put out for $4.88 each. BBs' prices are all over the radar - $6.99 thru $19.99 for the SAME titles!!!

Thanks OP. I got:
Time Tunnel v1
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea s1, v1
Office Space SE
Robots
used my 10% off coupon (covered three of 4 items).
Wound up paying $43.xx for all 4. Great buy. Would not have bought the irwin Allen series, but at this price you can't go wrong and I heard the transfers for both shows are excellent.
They seemed only to be out of American Dad Season 1. Considered getting that.

My BB had the same problem of the sale prices not being in the computer. I had to wait for the cashier to call the manager over for an override on my $14.99's, call her back to override for the $6.99's, and then I had to actually walk a person from the media section over to where the $5.99 display was to show her that yes, the $19.99 DVD I grabbed was on sale for $5.99, then I had to wait for the manager to do another override.

Well as of now (5:15pm pacific) the prices seem to have been fixed.
HOWEVER the free shipping is being applied to only some of the $4.99 discs. So there are still a few bugs in the system.

The best catch I had with Bestbuy today was pricematching "Hills Have Eyes" $4.99 sale of Circuitcity with their $26.99 "Hills Have Eyes"..instant $22 off...
got also
- A 2disc lenticular The Day After Tommorow (I think a Bestbuy Exclusive)
- Girl Next Door
- Stewie Griffith

Sale prices weren't in the computer at my BB either. Manager had to override, plugged in Office Space at $4.99 instead of $6.99 but said she "didn't care," and I got Atlantis for $6.99 (manager override) because it was in a display with a big "$6.99 titles" banner on the top. Other titles included Treasure Planet, Treasure Island, and a bunch more. It had the Pirates of the Caribbean movie pass included.

I agree with you that there was this "1st press" lenticular cover. But this one I got from BestBuy not only sport the "1st press" lenticular cover but also an extra "Bestbuy Exclusive" Disc.
