No tax in NH either.
Clerk just scanned the coupon, saw the price drop significantly, checked the coupon about three times, and then told me to have a nice day.
I was bummed because they only had S1 (s/b), S4, and S6 in the aisle. I bought S1/S2 online last night when the deal kicked in, but I haven't picked those up (may return them; may keep them for a gift or something). Anyway, they had a display up front with all the seasons in it, though it was dwindling fast. I grabbed them and off I went.
Oh, and as I made my way towards the case up front, there were three employees in front of it talking about the deal. I didn't hear much of the conversation but it definitely involved 24. I think they were just surprised by the deal. I don't see why BB would care, as I believe Fox reimburses them the coupon amount. These are going to disappear fast, though.

To sweeten the deal even more, Season 6 has a coupon on the back of the booklet for a free 20 oz. Vault that expires tomorrow!

I just got shot down on the offer. It would have worked if the coupon had scanned and applied the discount automatically for me. Instead, it said "Invalid Coupon". The manager needed to come over and give it an over-ride. He said the coupon was not good with "any other offers" and that since the seasons were already on sale there was no way I could use it. He claimed "there's just no way we would ever sell these to you for $2 each, with or without coupon".
I'm going to try again tomorrow.

Well, didn't work at mine. The cashier didn't even bother scanning the coupon and called over the manager who looked at the back which said not combinable with other offers. I still think it should've worked since the $15 off each is something from Fox, not BB, but I didn't feel like arguing with them. I already own the sets and was going to get these for my sister.

Hey, I also have a question for those of you that have been successful. Could it be the coupon showed as invalid as it was scanned AFTER all the sets and not before? Could this be why it said it was invalid?
Best Buy didn't pull the plug on the coupon did they?

So you don't have to buy all 6.

Ordered it online since I only needed S1 Special Edition and S6.

You think the way those bastards at Best Buy are acting, the money was coming out of their own pocket. Never mind that they get the coupon credit back from the manufacturer.
If Circuit City, FYE, Target or Walmart had this deal, they wouldn't have batted an eye.

I finally decided to get my lazy ass up and go out to Best Buy. Got seasons 1-4 for $24.85 total. I already had season 5 and they were out of 6, but hopefully they'll get more 6 in before the sale is over. Wouldn't mind paying the full $16.99 for it...just to complete the series up until now.
Thanks for the heads up acejh87.

Worked for me. There was another guy doing the same thing I was, he gott here first and got all the season but 5. All that was left on the shelf was 1 special, a few 2 and a bunch of 6. Was a bit bummed, but as I was walking around there was a a stack with one of each season under a shelf. So lucked out and got all 6, may take me a few years to get to them with the dvd and videogame backlog i have.
I really don't see why they wouldn't except the coupon. They get refunded by Fox for it.

How it worked for me, guys: she scanned the coupon after scanning all the sets. Well, actually, I gave her the coupon after she scanned them all in. She then scanned it and the amounts started coming off automatically. She didn't hit any other keys ('Yes' to accept all or anything else) and I finalized it by swiping my debit card. Unsure if scanning before or after even matters, but I can at least say it worked after for me.
Glad to see some are getting in on the deal.
For those unsure whether they will like the show or not, I would recommend giving it a try if you can get the deal. I've enjoyed all seasons except for six. You need to leave some of reality at the door, but considering I'm a big sci-fi and horror nut, I'm used to that.
