Yeah the only way you'll get a better deal on six feet under is if your buying all the seasons. 50% the complete boxset will be around 85$...15$ cheaper than buying them all at 20$ a piece.

I hope so, but thats assuming the complete set stays at that price, it still has like a $249 sticker at my store.

They may honor a price match on their own sales, but possibly not on others. I was able to PM last year at CC the morning of the sale for stuff I had bought the week before. Keep in mind that the price match has to be done on BF while the sale is going on, so if there is a special sale that only runs until 11am or something like that, then you have to be in the store before 11 to do the PM.

If it is a two-day sale then are your odds of a PM increased (at the same store?)

Where are people getting this idea that the complete Six Feet Under is going to be $85? Best Buy sells it for $249; it is on sale at the moment for $169, but that obviously won't be the case during the 50%-off sale.

eh. sopranos 6.2 for $42? i know eventually costco will probably have it just like they had 4/5/6.1 this year, which ended up coming out to $27... dunno if i'll bite on that. complete sets for sex and the city and six feet under are more appealing in price... guess i have some time to think about it before the sale actually starts...
