thanks, how do you get these ads so early??

thanks for picking up the slack xbox. sorry i kinda dropped the ball and didn't get around to answering everyone's questions guys.

Does anyone have full scans of this weeks ad, or can tell me what TV deals they have going on this week. I am looking to get a 40" - 50" LCD. Most likely the 46 - 47 models. Let me know if there are any specials out there...or full scanned ads would be great.

Thanks....this site it awesome...thanks for all the hard work.

Have a scan?

I wouldn't be too apologetic. Posting the ads was great and sufficient for most. It's a great deal to ask of one person to keep up with all the follow up questions.

My previous post brought up lots of discussion about the way Best Buy handles Gift Cards/RZ certificates/SOE certificates. While I'm not thrilled with the way they calculated things, I took care of things by going in today and getting 6 of the Buffy seasons at $5.99 (coupon still works like a charm), then grabbed the Cruel Intentions with Superbad ticket/bonus disc for $5.99. That should cover the $39 I was short on the SOE promotion and earn me another $10 certificate. Nice deal!

Now if I understand correctly, when I go in to use the $20 gift cards in the near future, I'll then be credited with money spent towards my next RZ certificate (the SOE promo will have expired).

I agree, Speedy is a saint to do it as long as he has.

For the most part, the questions can and should wait until Sunday AM when the ads go live on the store websites.

I am surprised at the low price of "Friday Night Lights". Easily one of the best shows I watched last year. I don't know if I will buy it, but still, great price!

I don't know if my order was different because I ordered my 5 movies online for in-store pickup and then they sent me the $20 gift card free in the mail, but I got credit for the entire $49.95 purchase of the five $9.99 movies from Best Buy on SOE and RZ points.

Yeah, they either changed it, or it is random.

I did a total of 3 packages. The last one (maybe two, I forget) had the gift card as totally free and the first had it the full $20 with the DVDs discounted.

I had a considerable amount of trouble getting the $20 gift card. The cashier rang up my dvds and the card didn't atomically pop up on the screen so I had to show her the ad. She spent about ten minutes looking at every disc I had and then finding them on the flyer. I kept reminder her that all of the discs I had were placed together on the same shelf and were all marked down to $9.99. Eventually she decided that the Smokey and the Bandit franchise collection had a white cover, but the one in the ad had a black cover. She left for about ten minutes to talk to someone in the dvd department and eventually returned with a black covered dvd of Smokey and the Bandit Part One, which was not part of the sale and rang up at $14.99. At this point I suggested she get a manager.

15 year old manager, Andrew, came along and suggested that the sale was only for full-frame dvds. Again I pointed out that all the discs I had were collected together on a special sale shelf, and that these disc only had widescreen versions available. The salesgirl's shift was ending so she was then replaced by another girl. This new girl wanted to just give me the card and get on with her day. Andrew, on the other hand decided to go back to the dvd department and discuss the problem with a guy over there. Eventually he came back with the white covered Smokey and the Bandit franchise collection that I originally had. The new girl rang it up and the free card popped right up. I'm guessing the first girl just hadn't moved the transaction along far enough for the card notice to appear.

Whatever. I ended up with The Tremors Collection, the Darkman Collection, Smokey and the Bandit collection, The Prestige, and Eternal Sunshine. That's about 12 movies for around $33.

I need my 5 movies to clear at the purchase price to get my next SOE $10 cert. The ad and receipt clearly show you pay full price for the movies and get the GC for free, so I will be talking to some Reward Zone people if things don't work out. (I can't tell yet because it takes a few days to show up).........

Heroes in HD DVD shows up as $71.99 on the BB website, so the $99.99 price is wrong.

maybe they printed the ad too early and assumed there wouldn't be a first-week price drop on there. but the $99.99 price is what is listed in the ad, so either the adjustment will be made automatically in-store OR you might need to print out a copy of their website's page so they can price-match it for you. we'll see come tuesday.

The 3.99 Saw and Saw II are the 2-disc sets! Good deal. The two stores I went to didn't have much in the way of Threes Company seasons, so I only got the 5th although I did see the 8th. Also, only the first two seasons of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea are on sale for $15. (Amazon has the Third season part one set for 19.99.) There really wasn't any displays for the sale items, you had to pluck em off the shelves. My thanks to the OP.

Jesus Christ, these kids should be working for the CIA and FBI, not Best Buy.

Saw II is the single disc edition

How's "The Devil's Rejects"? I didn't really like House of 1000 corpses. Is it good by itself, better than House?

I might buy Saw has anyone seen Hard Candy is it worth picking up?

Picked up The Doors - 15 Year Edition for $3.99 - I think this may be a price mistake due to the ad stating the regular price for it as 9.99 when it is actually 14.99

The old version's regular price was $9.99 though. Either way, it rang up at $3.99 and out the door I was.......

A great price for a great movie.

^ I don't think it's a mistake... BestBuy.com also has it for $3.99.

the reservoir dogs gas tin was 7.50 in store today, too, fyi

Yep. You're right. The fancy packaging faked me out. Saw is still the 2 disc.

Seems like a lot of work on The Doors DVD for a new transfer and DTS to only get $3.99 at end sale. They just released it in December of 2006. Just 8 months ago. I hope they continue their work ethic.

does anyone know where you go to print out your summer of entertainment certificates? the logo when you log onto bestbuy.com is no longer on my front page....i can't figure out where to go check on SOE points/certs
