Best Buy asking $27.99 for "Tokyo Godfathers"

Was going to pick this up last night at Best Buy, but the sticker price was $27.99. WTF!? Why on earth is this so expensive and is it like this everywhere. It's only a single disc. No major bonus features listed.

Online BB price is $24.99. The mystery that is Best Buy! Wish I had an answer for you.

I've seen a lot of weird ass pricing at Best Buy lately. Stuff on their website going for 14.99.. then I see it in the store for 27.99? my local store probably just has some idiot mis-pricing the stuff, who knows?

If you see it for cheaper on the website, ask for a price check in store. Odds are the price drop wasn't put on the disc in store.

HA! Good one. You have been to Best Buy before, no? Seriously, their customer service? Non-existent. Actually, it's my own damn fault. I saw the killer review for this movie here on DVDTalk right before I left work. I usually do more research to find the best prices.

I think the MSRP for this disc is $26.95. so BB is simply trying to screw you.

Sorry, I thought you were just posting a link to DVD Bargains, not an actual thread.

Same thing happened when I wanted to get Castle in the Sky at BB. $27.99 in store while it's 22.99 online.

Yea , that is why i will be going to FYE to get it and save myself 8 bucks.

Fye has it for 20 bucks.

Best buy and there weird pricing, that is why i am starting to stop buying my stuff there. FYE might be a buck or 2 more sometimes, but it is starting to seem like FYE is the "best buy" on many of these titles.
