3-disc mystic river delayed/cancelled????

Just a heads up for anyone looking for the Mystic river 3 disc spec ed. i work at Best Buy, i'm typing this from the computer at the tech bench right now at 8:00 am... and our store and none of the stores in our district or region (entire northeastern US) received any copies of the Mystic River 3-disc special edition. they are still listed as 'on order', but the purchase order was scheduled for delivery on 6/2/04 along with all the regular ws and fs editions, which we did get plenty of. usually when this happens, it means that the rest of the purchase order was cancelled. this looks to be nation-wide for Best buy because im looking at inventory levels in every region and district and nobody has it....ill try to keep you updated...

I just got back from Coconuts and called Tower Records on the way home. Neither store had it, both told me they weren't going to be getting them in neither.

None at the BB in Laurel, MD. I didn't care as I wasn't going to buy it anyway, as it wasn't worth $14 more for a disk of what look to be documercials and a cd I won't listen to. I was tempted just to not get a frigging snapper though.

We literally got ours half an hour before we opened at my Best Buy. 'Twas quite the pain making room for the 100+ copies we got in. Eventhough the ad listed it at $29.99, was surprised to see them ring up at $20.99. That essentially made picking up a copy a no-brainer.

those who have seen it or hoping it's at BB or wal-mart or whatever, should try the price match from this thread.

Almost as many 3-disc sets as the single disc release at Best Buy in Anderson, SC (actually, it looked like there were more because they had sold most of the single disc copies and still had nearly all of the 3-disc sets).

And the 3-disc is also ringing up for $20.99 there.

West Hollywood BB didn't have any copies in, as far as I could tell. The Target in the same building had three copies (of which I snagged one of) and no signs of any more.

It should be noted that the West Hollywood BB is pretty awful compared to the Atwater or Burbank ones.

i'm not sure when our store got them in but a quick look in RSS showed that the current $20.99 is not due to a market reaction and will go up as soon as tonight. i would bet that this will be corrected chainwide by tomorrow morning. get the low price while you can.
