The Hastings Buy 2, Get 1 for a Penny is still valid at my local locations. Not sure if it is nationwide or not but it's a good YMMV. I was able to get the Magic Knights Rayearth: Complete Series set for $26.99, the Scrapped Princess set for $20.00, and Kaleido Star set for a Penny. All of them were used of course. So this might still be a great source for those looking to find anime bargains (depending on what your Hastings has in stock!)

And remember that Hastings has decent price offers on buy-backs, so bring in some DVD's, CD, or Books that are just collecting dust for you and the sale might be even better!

Just a heads up regarding a couple Manga Entertainment releases, since some of the single volumes are on the TRSI Weekly Specials:

• Noein DVD Box Set - 635 minutes - $39.98 (MRSP) - 01/22/2008
• Tokko DVD Box Set - 320 minutes - $29.98 (MRSP) - 01/22/2008

• Tactics DVD Box Set (Trans World Entertainment Exclusive, B&M only) - $49.99 (MRSP) - Currently Released
  Vol.5 is still not officially solicitated (it may be released in February '08), but it's available for purchase as a boxset

There is a very good reason for that. They put up that disclaimer because Best Buy uses a intranet (local computer network) website on their kiosks where they sometimes have different prices than the actual website. They were even sued over the second kiosk only site.

If you find a deal at the Best Buy website and want to go to the store to get it, always, always print out a copy. I have found that to work in most cases.

WTK

That news has been known for a while now, but it almost never affects anime titles. Most of the Best Buy anime deals that we deal with for this thread are only available in stores (B&M). The prices that you see @ BestBuy.com (accessed at home) are sometimes higher for anime. Most of the older titles on the Best Buy table are only available for ordering via the kiosk since they are no longer available in the stores. Printouts can be used for pricematching, but it's almost never used for anime unless there is a website price mistake (i.e., .hack//Roots, Vol.1+Box, Dragon Ball Z Uncut Boxset 2,...).

Sorry about the overlap. I just read that article chain and felt I should share. I didn't realize that people already knew it here.

Yup. That's usually what happened to me at the store.

WTK

It's not a problem...sometimes it's good to rehash certain information for the people who don't frequently visit/follow the anime bargain threads.

It's the thinpak.

Product Description:

3-Disc; Thinpak

WTK

No it's not a thinpak release, Overstock.com has listed the incorrect product information. This release has the 3 DVDs fitted in a standard-sized keepcase (2 discs on a tray-page) and it has no extras.

Raye

I don't know if this is a pricing error or what, but Deep Discount has the Haruhi 3 SLE for $24.04. DVD Empire has it for $21.xx as well. I'm debating if I should order it now or risk waiting for the DD 20% off sale rumored to be soon. Any suggestions?

DVDmaniac14

is that a good price on the yugo the negotiator thinpak? im considering getting it...would it be worth it or is the show not that good..?

Jah-Wren Ryel

Does Yugo have a dub track? I got the impression it was sub only.

Bezerker

Nice find, i've been looking for a good price on it. Went ahead and ordered it. Hopefully next week my $23 Vol 4 LE will ship from Amazon

ai-chan

Its Hybrid.

DVDmaniac14

yugo the negotiator thinpak is sold out @ overstock.com right now...boooooo!!!

WTK

At that price I would order it. You would never know if they will raise the price before the upcoming 20% off sale.

WTK

It appears that Innocent Venus, Vol.2 + Artbox is sold out as well!
