I didn't even think to check for this since the release date isn't until tomorrow. I'll definitely look for it on my next trip to BB.

Does that mean they will cancel my order for Speed Grapher, if I placed the order with the misprice?

I was going to report this yesterday, but it slipped my mind. In any case, are you ready for some pre-orders?

You can place pre-orders on the computer kiosk (inside your local Best Buy store) with the 50% off discount, but you would have to pay for S/H. This is only on SELECT PRODUCTS. Pricing may also vary from location to location. The pricing should ring up correctly once/if your local store receive the product. However that doesn't work for releases that are past March 20th. Therefore releases with discounted pricing should be considered as price glitches. Take advantage while you still can...

Here are some samples from the MN market (release dates based on BestBuy.com) going up to end of April:

They don't usually. They have a new huge wire rack full of discounted dvd's. Most are Lions Gate titles for $3.99 and $6.99, but for some reason or another, they had the Voltron Set thrown on there with all of that.

Sooooo pissed that I probably won't get a chance to get to Best Buy again, until this weekend, when they will probably be wiped out of anything decent.

Picked these up today, haven't seen Seven Samurai hope it's good, but for 50% off a Blu-Ray I couldn't pass it up . . .



Hopefully you all can read my receipt, just showing proof that the Blu-Ray set can indeed be had for $35!

Awesome discovery, WTK! I can now finish off the re-imagined Negima on the cheap. I'll also grab Berserk and Shuffle. Do you happen to know if the Paniponi Dash Collection that comes out next week is part of the deal?

I'm pretty sure that's not included. Barring any late changes, stores shouldn't be getting this release. It should be an online only item.

Good old regional pricing...not much you can do about that. I was able to pre-order it along with a couple other titles. It's worth to check if you have titles you want to pre-order and if you have a store close by plus the time to do so.

It may be possible to get those preorders for instore pickup, out of curiosity I checked instore availability for the Negima Season 2 part 2 box. It was going to let me order it for pickup in every store it showed. Unfortionately the nearest participating bestbuy (or any best buy at all for that matter) is over an hour away so I'm not going to be able to check anytime soon.

If you check the release dates, more than half of them would be a no. People should see the 3/3 releases. 3/10 releases should be there do. Most of 3/17 should be there be there as well...MB releases have been all over the place, so they may not show up on time. Everything else is after the sales time frame.

Black Lagoon: 1st Season (Steel Book) - $17.99
Code Geass: Part I - $14.99
Code Geass: Part II - $21.49
Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (Steel Book) - $10.99
Ghost Slayers Ayashi: Part I (Limited Ed.) - $24.99
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (Limited Ed.) - $14.99

Mechanicsburg, PA store is pretty new, so there wasn't a whole lot there. The other store in my area wasn't on that preliminary list that BB put out. Did they ever release an updated one?

Also, how the hell are you supposed to get the discs out of this Black Lagoon set without damaging them? They're bending in all kinds of crazy directions and won't release!

I should have picked up Robotech Protoculture Collection. I think I will make another trip to see if it is still there, and get it if it is.

Thought I'd take a chance and drive out to a BB about 40 minutes away. I had done some checking on the titles and even though BB.com said they were out of stock, they did have some copies on the shelves.....so (like many have stated) don't always rely on the website when checking quantities on hand at the store.

Anyway....took $200 to blow and picked up:

Moribito 1 (2 disc) - 11.49
School Rumble 2nd SSN 2 - 21.49
Girl Who Leapt Through Time LE - 17.99
Ouran HS Host Club 1st - 21.49
Shonen Onmyouji V3 - 10.99
Negima Box Set VC - 17.99
Black Lagoon 1st Season - 17.99
Full Metal Panic 2nd Raid LE - 24.99
Code Geass Set 2 LE - 21.49
Melancholy of Haruhi Suzu... Complete Box Set - 22.49

Total with Tax: $200.65 (worked out perfectly)!

I was feeling jealous hearing of everyone and their good finds....not anymore. Best of luck to everyone!

How did you work off that 65 cents?


I made one more run, this time to the Trumbull, CT store. My haul-

Elemental Gelade Thinpak $24.99(I was waffling on this title, but as always, my greed got the better of me)
Negima OVA $7.49
Clannad $14.99
Akira Blu-ray $17.49
Afro Samurai 1 Blu-ray $9.99(I already have this title, but this was the only way to get them to apply the discount to Akira. I'll return it on my next visit)

Total with tax $79.45


I also took WTK's post to heart and pre-ordered the following at the kiosk-

Negima Season 2, Part 2 $21.49(in-store pick-up)
Berserk Collection $14.99(in-store pick-up)
Shuffle Collection $24.99(plus $2.49 shipping)

Total with tax $67.65


BTW, Paniponi Dash is definitely not part of the sale.
