For what it's worth, I got my $25 gift card in the mail today.

For that reason I try wrap my steelbooks in Bubble wrap bags or a freezer plastic bag.

For all those who filed make sure you let customer service know the situation and hopefully you'll get the gift card too. That way the total will be less than 2.50!
Good luck all!

No, it's not rubber cement. It's a form of silicon. You MIGHT be able to get the same performance by buying a 100% silicon glue tube at Home Depot or someplace similar.
Of course, the strength of the silicon is the issue, so use very small amounts when trying to re-attach to a DVD case or special art. And be sure to test the silicon tube on something unimportant to see if the dried silicon comes off with a little force with no residue.

No seriously, good luck dude. Just don't watch any episodes if you're on pain-killers... the plots might go over your head... You'll think you're hallucinating Kim being attacked by a mountain lion or something...

What kind of surgeon are you?

i know this deal is old news (actuallythe first time i visited the site was when this deal was going on) but i just received s.1 se in the mail from amazon with the coupon attached. it expires on sunday and i was wondering if there was anywhere that has the season sets on sale so i could try and get them for a low price. best buy's prices have gone up and it's not worth it anymore, but is there anywhere else?

Most of the Walmarts I've been to have Season 2 for $20 and at least one more season for $30. Its not as good as this one was, but you might be able to get a for a little cheaper if you check your local Wlamarts.

i need to find out if there is a costco around here, not sure lol. i'm assuming i'll have to rebuy the s.1 se, but i was already planning on giving the one i have to my brother for his birthday bc i already own the orginal release of s.1. but if i could get this deal to work and get s.4-6 along with it i wouldn't mind owning the s.e. myself. the money i saved on the other 3 seasons would pay for the set.

Finally got a response from Best Buy via the BBB. They are refusing to honor the coupon, calling the sale price the "other offer". I am appealing with the BBB, citing the fact that they have honored the coupon for other customers.
Absolutely ridiculous.

Wow let it go dude. You win some you lose some. I am pretty sure the store can refuse a manufacturers coupon if they want.

2. Food stores may not care since all that is at risk is a few dollars here and there vs. getting what cost retail for around $60 for just $2.
Best Buy made a mistake by not being prepared for handling their sale and a manufacturer's coupon at the same time. Stores dealt with it in different ways, some giving the discount to the lucky few that recognized what was going on, while others used the verbage in the coupon to reject the combining of deals.
They have that verbage in there for a reason. I see no outcome where Best Buy is going to be forced to sell at that ridiculously low price just because a few sales sneaked under the radar.
As was stated, it is time to get over it and move on. may be you'll get on the next mistake.
