I have heard from a Universal Rep that this box will only be available trough the end of the year.
Does this mean that stores won't over re-stock as dgc mentioned?
Absolutley Not!
But after the first of the year, according to Universal, what's out there will be it!!
Get 'em while you can Montana fans.

It was crazy at my Best Buy. People were lined up at 9:30. When we opened the doors at 10, people ran towards the DVD section, trampling other people. Insane. We had to give out tickets for the box sets.
Luckily, I work there...I bought mine at 9:50.

Went to best buy around 10:30am this morning...they only had 1 left on the table and I grabbed it...the guy said it was the last one and there were other people walking behind me looking for it as well...he did say another store got in around 300 sets while this one only received less than 10...I guess it depends which bb you go to....

I stopped by my local Strawberries to take advantage of the $20 rebate on this set (bringing it down to $29.99). This was around 11am and the clerk said that he had sold 6 copies of the deluxe set and only one copy of the regular 2 disc edition.

I was at FYE at 10 am to take advantage of the $20 MIR , a decent line of people ( less than 20 ) . They were also giving out the full-sized movie poster.

A coworker of mine just came back from our local B&M. They sold out of the box set (200 copies) by 12:30-1:00. They reordered and expect to receive them late next week.
For those that got shut out, you might as well order from Amazon.

Hi:
I went to my local Best Buy this morning, got there right at 10am and just as I was parking, a good number of people started makin' their way in. I got in and there were like three box sets left. I grabbed one not intending to really buy it, but just to see what it looked like and what not. I then grabbed the regular 2 disc set.
A few minutes passed by and I found myself lookin' at other stuff in the store. Was workin' my way back to the table to put the gift set back, when this dude comes out of the blue and offers to pay me $60 cash right there for the set! He's all like there are no more left, and he REALLY wanted one...
I was more than happy to fulfill his gangsta' needs and walked out a very happy camper! $$$

Other than the box set, did anyone have trouble picking just the 2 disc set? The Circuit City I go to here in Miami was sold out by 12:00. One clerk told me about 60 people were waiting outside the store this morning in order to buy it. Luckily for me the last three copies were in the store room. I have never seen a title sell out so quickly!! Must be the Gangstas!

All the stores around here sold out of the box set, but the 2-disc was plentiful. I got one of the 2-disc and ordered the box set from Amazon for $37.xx shipped to keep sealed.

It's a universal release. I expect (or should I say Hope) that they will over do a release of this by printing up more then enough like when E.T. was released. "It's your last chance to buy it EVER!!!"... six months later it's still collecting dust on the shelves.

I also have never seen this at my Circuit City on opening Tuesday for any release.
Could this dvd be the biggest selling "R" rated movie of all-time?
For the popularity of this movie, why would anyone not want to buy it widescreen since they have never seen it that way?
Imagine all those with their fullscreen copies and then when they look at the documenteries with the widescreen scenes there going to be kicking themselves.
They'll be saying " Damn there's more damn movie in da widescreen".

Youc an also thank the popularity of Rockstar's game GTA: Vice City for the surge of popularity of the 80's "gangsta" image.

Picked it up at Sam Goody's in Danville , Kentucky. I only saw two of them and I bought one.
On the other hand, they had I know at least 100 copies of two-disc anniversary DVD.
