Picked up Heroes S1, Sex and the city S2,5 & 6 part 2 during lunch break. Couldn't get S6 Part 1 though, despite driving to 2 different target stores. Will try a couple of other targets later in the evening.

I walked through the isles after I picked up the sets I was going to buy (Heroes, The Office S3) and pretty much everything was on sale.
South Park, Charmed, Gilmore Girls, Golden Girls, Smallville.
Again, I recommend you go and look around.

Of course, Target was sold out, so they wouldn't do the price-match.
As I said, this may all be a moot point, but I'd hate for someone to pay big bucks for an item thinking they would pm and then get stuck with the item. Of course, I guess they could always just return the unopened item for a refund of the original purchase price.

I did not go through all 5 pages to see if this had been reported but Charmed is listed in the OP as the final season only but at my Target, Seasons 6-8 were all at the $19.99 price.

I went and got my price adjustments on Dead Like Me S2 and Heroes and learned that Beast Buy only matches the lower price - no 10% bonus - when it's THEIR AD, not a competitors. I'd never seen this before because I'm usually popping them with a Circuit City ad to match. So, I ended up just getting the usual $17.50 sale price for DLM, but DID get 110% of the $31 difference on Heroes. The clerk was saying that she was planning on getting it for $25, but now that she knew it was possible to get it for $19, she'd do that. Heh.

no rainchecks on any of these ultra discounted titles.
Mine had all S&C sets for 9.99 - but they were gone. LOTS of Heroes sets though...at least 30 still around at 8pm. I picked up Sarah Silverman S1 for 9.99 and the Terminator/Robocop double feature slimcases for 7.50 - nice little deal for both

Were you denied by a manager? I've never had a problem price matching at WalMart. But I always make sure to find the youngest employee who seems the least happy to be there. It could be a Your Clerk May Vary situation.

The register wouldn't allow the cashier to put in $19.00 as the price, and instead popped up a message requesting a manager. (Kinda scary when the register tells the cashier that it thinks you're trying to rip them off.
)She called a supervisor over and told her that the normal price was $44.99 (or whatever it was) and that the register wouldn't let her enter $19.00. The manager verified that it was the same show in the ad, the same season in the ad, and that the ad was current (checking the back). After commenting that it was a really good deal, she put her Key of Power into the register, turned it, keyed in some numbers, and voila! $20.39 with tax.
Apparently, that large of a discount triggers the manager request, and some managers don't want to give that much of a discount. (Considering that supposedly some DVDs have razor-thin margins, I can understand why a manager wouldn't want to sell a DVD at such a loss....)
