That's usually true (and perhaps the easiest way to it), but sometimes BestBuy.com pricing can be higher or lower than prices ringing up at the B&M store level.

FYI - I also found that the store inventory search on BestBuy.com isn't working 100% of the time so you are probably best to try the store in person even if it says OOS.

(BestBuy.com) It's not always accurate since the inventory has to have at least 2 (or maybe 3) copies of the product. Otherwise it won't be shown as available for store pickup. There is obvious good reasons for this. One of which is less accountability just in case the inventory is inaccurate, which happens all the time with retail stores.

I picked up
Negima!? part 1 $21.49 and
Negima! Spring and Summer Specials $7.49

too bad the part 2 doesn't come out until later this month. I hoped to find Gunslinger Girl but the web site showed it as unavailable and I couldn't find any of the shelf.

Stepped out of the snowstorm here in GA at the Peachtree City BB. There was no indication of the sale anywhere (and the clerks knew nothing about it) but everything rang up 50% off. Due to limited time, due to the snowstorm outside, all I picked up was some stuff already on my wishlist:

DBZ S6 19.99
DBZ S7 17.99
Black Lagoon 17.99

I may drop by one of the other stores later when I have more time to look through the selection and dig deeper into some of the lower priority items on my wishlist (prices like these make otherwise so-so titles actually worthwhile).

Dangit, I was looking for those here in NJ (hit 2 stores) but no success. Now that I know someone was actually able to find them, I'll start hunting other stores.....uh, after the snow goes away, I guess.

I got a pretty nice haul today:

Akira Blu-ray - $17.50
Afro Samurai Resurrection Bluray - $15
Freedom Boxset Bluray - $50
Code Geass Part 2 LE - $21.50
Black Lagoon 2nd barrage Vol 1 LE - $15
Black Lagoon 2nd barrage Vol 2 - $11
Black cat complete - $25
Dragonball GT Season 2 - $18
Fate Stay night complete - $25
Kashimashi complete - $7.50
Shakugan no Shana complete - $25

The blu-rays & Black Lagoon LE had to be manually adjusted, there was some confusion with the manager, but luckily the term "all anime" is easy to define. Most singles were $11, Vol X w/ Boxes were $15-$17.50. Nearly all of the Funi/Geneon boxsets were $17.50 - $25 with the exclusions of the older ones.

My recommendation is to just use the store locator on their website, it was spot on for me.

I picked up Black Lagoon Season 1 and the Blood+ box.

While waiting for the store to open, I kept looking at the other people waiting... "He's not Anime... they can't be... Damn, maybe that guy is... " =-)

It was in the Anime section, which would give you a good argument if it didn't ring up at 50% off.

It didn't ring out at the 50% off when I stopped by to pick it up at the Liberty Missouri store. After discussion between myself, the clerk and a manager they finally adjusted down but it took a while and they did provide a number of humorous reasons why the "all anime 50% off" signs didn't apply to certain anime titles or BluRay anime titles.

I did not know that K-Mart carried anime. Than again, I can't even recall the last time that I step into their retail chain...
