My store in the Bay Area had about 10 of the Buffy additional disks and they were on the shelf next to the Buffy DVDs. I picked one up and apparently they haven't adjusted the registers to charge you for it. I got it for free without buying any DVDs.
I did however buy a big stack of blank DVD disks, which are on sale this week. Some folks had noted that none were on sale last week, so I waited until this week to load up on 100 Memorex DVD+R for $22.99.
I saw that Magnum season 8 was on sale for 19.99 but foolishly left the store before checking to see if the others were on sale as well. When I got home and checked out DVDTalk, I saw that my intuition that all seasons would be on sale was correct. So it was back online to order all 8 seasons for in-store pick up. I'll pick them up tomorrow when I drop in to get Sleeping Beauty and the free alarm clock.
I also noted that there were still a lot of Iron Man busts that hadn't sold as well. My guess is, the high price, even with the gift card inside, was a big deterrent.

According to BestBuy.com, Child's Play 20th Birthday Edition is only $4.99 in store this week.
DEAD.
it's 7.49 now.
Of course it changed WHILE I was in the store :\

I had contemplated ordering it online for in-store pickup, but decided since it was ringing up $4.99 in-store that I wanted to use my 10% off coupon for an extra 50c off. I didn't know it was a 2-day only deal. Fortunately it's not a movie I care that much about. To me it was a comedy rather than a horror movie. So I'll just wait for $4.99 again... however long it takes.

Shit, I won't be able to get to Best Buy until Friday.
Hope they still have some in-stock.
I might go ahead and order one from the website for $4.99, though, just to insure I can get one.

No there wasn't a security sensor in it.
BUT - I wouldn't pick it off the shelf and try to walk out with it. It's their property, not yours, until you ring out and get a receipt. Being busted for shoplifting a $0.00 item is really silly.

Of course I saw zero envelopes to mail in a used Disney DVD for the gift card, and I didn't want to have to deal with talking to an employee that would have no idea what I'm talking about.

This is excellent. Everyone should also know that Disney has a rebate included with the blu-ray for $10 with a proof of purchase of the original Sleeping Beauty Special Edition DVD (From experience, they're swift with these rebates!). So I'll send Disney my proof of purchase, and send Best Buy my old Disc. This will get me the Blu-Ray for around $5!
Can someone prove me wrong on this?

I didn't see any of the Hitchcock releases for this week available in store. In a month or so, it won't matter as a certain 20% off sale will be approaching...

Plus if you factor in shipping and taxes, you're not really saving that much if you order all four from Amazon and call it a day. I'll wait for DeepDiscount as well. A shame, really, but I think my Hitchcock Masterpiece collection can get me through all of this all right.

My nearest store in Worcester, MA, didn't have any Buffy discs. An employee checked and told me they never received them, along with the exclusive Cartman figure. It's probably worth $4.99 to me to not have to drive back to the store in a few days so I might just order one from the site.

That's too bad about Touch of Evil. I was hoping to watch it this weekend and just presumed that Best Buy would carry it (I have a gift card). The release date sneaked up on me as well.

Is there no additional rebate form for upgrading from the standard dvd of sleeping beauty? I bought the BR and there was no rebate form inside only the envelope deal for a gift card.
Also do you send the Disney DVD without the case? There doesn't appear to be room in the envelope for more than that.
