Here is an interesting story about my trip to Best Buy yesterday.
I asked one of their employees in the dvd section if they were going to open at midnight on Monday. They said no, so I said "Looks like I'll be going to Media Play instead". Then they said something along the lines of "You shouldn't, their box set won't have the 4th disc.". I was left almost speechless. I guess it's Best Buy's policy to lie to try and get more sales. This is the same store where someone told me that deepdiscountdvd sells bootlegs and you should only buy dvds from bestbuy.com. |
Yikes, why didn't you tell him that it wasn't true?
I wouldn't take one employee's response as a condemnation of the entire Best Buy chain; he's more than likely just a dumb kid. I wish I could pick it up at midnight somewhere, but in all honesty, it's not like I'd watch them at 12:30am. Better to get it the next day and have time to watch it. |
Originally posted by Banky What are you guys going to do with the DVDs at midnight? Are you honestly going to stay up all night watching them? I honestly wont find the time until the weekend after. Just curious. |
Originally posted by gutwrencher I prefer to own and run my own biz and make my own hours. working for someone else has never worked for me...as I like having complete control. my job requires much "body healing" time and based on my schedule for the remainder of the week(about 50 hours worth)....buying and watching them just after mid-night...then sleeping and healing all day Tuesday...well...that works for me.:D |
Originally posted by mjlukich So what do you do for a living gutwrencher? |
I'm still debating on even picking this up. The first is the only one I really liked. The second was okay also, but the third sucked arse.
|
The second is the best, pick it up and watch it again ;).

hmmmmmmm Taco Bell mmmmmmm ;)

I think he was being sarcastic and is actually one of those people who're gonna be somewhere tonight waiting for the release of the DVD.
As for why, I think I answered this before. Midnight events are part of the Star Wars Culture. It's always fun to hang out with people you don't know yet share something common with. |
