Annapolis, MD - DEAD. I got Batman and Batman Returns special editons for a total of $20.98. I've been wanting these for a while and still not a bad deal.

Raw_and_Vital

are you being serious

Sweet Baby James

That must have been a bitter pill to swallow.

Late last night Bestbuy.com was down as they updated the site. I don't know it the site is tied into the retail system but I had a feeling they were updating to correct the price.

Snowmaker

I don't know. It just seemed like you were officially announcing it based on a couple unsuccessful posts.

Don't matter to me anyway. I got all I wanted from it.

Well, many thanks to the original poster and to Best Buy for a great glitch. I had been thinking on getting Casablanca and Constantine but the 12 titles I got were good enough.

Hopefully they keep whoever made the mistake on the payroll!

daveymark

it was working as of Noon EST. By 12:30Pm EST the deal was dead.

Ah well. It was fun while it lasted.

I stopped at the local BB last night after work to grab a few more titles. A co-worker had recommended V For Vendetta (I didn't originally get it), so I swung by to pick up two copies. I ended up with:

V For Vendetta (x2)
Amadeus (to replace the older 1D snapper version I have)
Constantine (blind buy)
Tenacious D
1500 (300 x5)

This was on top of my previous lunchtime trip that netted:
Chariots Of Fire
East Of Eden
Giant
Lost Boys
Magnolia
Mystic River
1800 (300 x6)

The Washington St BB in Indy is still stuffed full of 300 sampler/promo DVDs, so I didn't feel bad about taking 5 more (11 total over two purchases). I'm planning to use two for my wife and I, I've already given away a half dozen, and plan to give the rest away to friends over the weekend. They won't go to waste, and they won't be turned for a profit.

I spent a total of $62 plus tax ($17 for Tenacious D, $50 for B5G5, -$5 for the Vendetta for my co-worker) for 10 movies -- 1 new release, 1 upgrade, and 8 movies I didn't have. Plus 11 tickets to see 300 - 2 for me and 9 for friends. Thanks OP!

HOLY SHIT! YOU PAID TOO MUCH!!

NoDAK

A personal call from Richard Schulze. Sorry, I'll settle for nothing less.

Hell, I was elated to still get this "sale" on Monday.

printerati

I should have taken lunch 15 minutes earlier.

Still, a hell of a deal while it lasted. I wish I would have picked up more 300 discs, but that's my only regret. My brother and I got our free tickets, and I probably don't need any more than two, since I doubt my wife and his girlfriend will be inclined to join us for the movie.

RustyOrgan

Wait - Was it BOGOF for the $1.99 clearance games as well? Do those count for the 300 DVD??

allstater4by800

are you being for serious rusty?

scottp120

I looked at my receipt and the time was 12:36 PM. Grrr!!

daveymark

I'll do you one better - a personal house call from George Takei, where he'll present you with a Tim Hardway rookie card, signed by Tim himself.

Trevor

I hope not.

But if anyone just wants a 300 disc, they are free with any DVD purchase.

I imagine it will ring up as free with the one penny HBO samplers or similar demo DVDs.

tantheman

Must return recent Costco purchases of Citizen Kane and Room With A View that I repurchased with this deal... Glad I got on it when I did

kenbuzz

Mmmmm, sorta. The 300 DVD has a "price" of $9.99, which is what folks who want that and ONLY that will pay. If you buy one at that price, I imagine BB would give you one free (since their ad says you get one free with any DVD purchase). The register might balk, but the floor manager should fix it, particularly if you've got a copy of the ad handy.

But why would you do this? Unless you're looking to get a pair of 300 movie tickets for $10 (which *is* a pretty good deal), you'd probably be better off getting a real movie for $9.99 and one free 300 DVD/ticket.

kenbuzz

Mods, can we add a [DEAD] flag to this thread's title, pls?

RustyOrgan

Can someone post that 'memo' that was sent out to Best Buy stores?

exharrison

Too bad. I went to Best Buy to pick up King Kong and My Fair Lady, but they didn't have the Lady. Too late to get it at another store now. BUT at least I got a couple of good films for cheap before it died. Thanks a bunch OP.

Valley Stream, NY - DEAD

Oh well, scored 10 movies on the deal, it was fun while it lasted.
