I didn't bother asking a Target employee if they had the WS set since I figured they were only stocking it in P&S. They've been doing this with several titles lately and it's really pissing me off. Hell, even Wal-Mart will order a decent number of WS copies for new releases.

Take the Target weekly ad into Best Buy and present it at checkout. If you don't have the weekly, Best Buy will either look for themselves (they should have copies on hand) or call the neareset Target; this option requires you to go directly to customer service, where you will likely endure painstaking lines.

Only foolscreen here in Maryland also... guess I'll have to price match somewhere tomorrow.

Target in Cherry Hill, NJ has it out on release day, but, alas, in FS only.

Target did that with the Fast Times/Dazed & Confused DVDs too. FOOL Screen only.

FS only in WV. PM at CC.

Yep, I just wasted a trip there myself. Target really wants to lose my business.

I guess I will have to get it at Wal-Mart instead.

My copies weren't individually labelled. Can you provide me with the UPC's so I can add them to my database?


I also went to Target only to see P&S on the shelf. I figured they were total idiots(they appear to be) and that's all they had, so I grabbed a flyer and went to BBuy to PM. No problem. 2nd PM in a week there.

The movies each have a semi-insert in it. No chapter listings, just a collage of pictures and quotes from the movie on one side, and an ad on the flip-side.

I'm popping in HG now...

Problem with Happy Gilmore?

Well, I'm a little past half way in the movie and I just encountered a problem. At a little past the 57:00 mark, during "the fight", there is a pause between two frames. There also appears a white dot on the screen during this pause. Then it jumps to the next frame. I'm not impressed. I saw this on both my players.

Anyone notice this?

Other than that, I'm not blown away by the transfer either.

i went into BB today to PM this with the target ad. the woman in line ahead of me also had this so i offered her my ad so she could save a few bucks too. the girl working the counter had to take the ad to her manager who told her that they wouldn't honor the PM because the pictures on the box weren't the same!! never mind that the moron was looking at the other side of a two sided package. so she put the stuff down and walked out.

i, on the other hand, put up a fight. i told the girl that it had to be the SE because that's the only SE of the movie. she asked another person who said it matched so i got the price match. sheesh, BB people are really stupid.

No UPCs on the individual cases... I'm having the same problem entering them into programs. The only UPC is for the 2-Pack.

Picked up a WS pack at Wal-Mart for $17.xx

Just price matched at Wal-mart. Bastards. The first guy, a new clerk, was all 'sure, we can price match' and so he calls his trainer over. The trainer says 'sure, we'll price match it. Oh, you have two? No, we'll only price match one'.

WHAT? I told the guy I could go to Target and buy their whole friggin' stock for 15.99 each, and asked why on earth would they limit the price match. I told him I just wanted to buy my brother a Christmas present and get one for myself, and wondered silently whether Wal-mart's economic might would falter if they did give them both to me at the Target price. So he then calls a manager and she acts all put out (more from the two clerks than me it seemed, but she was still just damned unpleasant) and rings up the two of 'em at 15.99.

GAH!

Three people to do a price match. Well, it still took less time than it would have at Best Buy.

No problem at Best Buy. Price matched 2 sets (one for me, one a gift) with the Target ad. And it only took one cashier to do it.

I have never encountered any PM problems at Best Buy or Walmart. Maybe we are just a little nicer in Texas.

What is it with you people going to Best Buy to price match!!
Avoid the 15min. hassle and go to Circuitt City.

I ended up getting it at Circuit City for $17.99. The Target in the town where I live doesn't open til March, so I couldn't PM. I wouldn't have been upset with Target where I tried to buy it if they would have just put Full Screen only in their ad, so that I wouldn't have wasted a trip across town over my lunch.

Because we are devil customers!!!!!!

Why would we want to do that to stores we like

I'm in Texas... maybe you missed my post? And it's not just the once. I've tried price matching at least twice before with them, and every time they just try to break my balls. This was the first time I actually succeeded in getting one.

No way! Although I do see your point, if they did that, we couldn't price match it elsewhere for the widescreen. If they insist on stocking foolscreen only, let them keep advertising that way!

the reason i don't go to CC is because the one here is so ridiculously small that it doesn't stock jack squat as far as dvd's. 9 times out of 10 they never have what i want.

I didn't buy it because it was the 4:3 version.

Perhaps I may have been incorrect about the individual UPCs. I did glance at the individual discs, so maybe I just thought I saw them or something. Why I would make that up I don't know. Sorry.

No shit! Im in Texas and the BB guys are usually ALWAYS assholes with matches and everything. But it actually worked well for me yesterday.

I got:
Happy Gilmore/Billy Madison - $12.79
Hero - $12.79
Spiderman 3 - $11.99

Do you mean Spiderman 2???

Spiderman 3 - $11.99
