The DVD is jampacked with a lot of extras! It even includes a WWE match between Kane and Edge! And.. its also a ticket to a Wrestlemania 22 DVD $5 off!


I just don’t understand why someone would walk into a Best Buy and pick up 20 preview copies of a bad movie. It had to look weird seeing a person busting out the store doors hoarding all those copies….

There is a difference between picking it up and being handed with 20 copies by a BestBuy Associate.

And if it was being hoarded I should have made $$$ profit out of it.

And I just don't understand why you are not reading my first and previous posts on how I obtain it. Was it you were left out with nothing?



On the other note, Seantn Thanks Dude! I already sent a complain at ebay for the person who used my photo.

The point is, you don't always have to take what's given to you. As for hoarding, there's nothing tying the definition of the word with financial gain. It's just hard to believe you've got 20 friends that may be interested in a medicore horror movie staring a wrestler.

You got a dimwitted employee and became an opportunist. Not that I care, but that's what happened.

FYI- hoarding does not necessarily mean profiting.

FYI, and it doesnt mean either as being given for 20 pcs for free (if you just read and "understand" my previous post prior responding without any understanding).

And why would I not take it? Dude, if its for free and no illegal technicalities then go get it. And besides, Its trough my own goodwill to share it with friends who loves horror/wrestling.

Then if Im an opportunist (coming from you) does it mean you become a jealous consumer since you were not given a chance to come across with such dimwitted BB employee?

Dude, you’re an idiot…I still don’t “understand it”, I’m just attempting to move on from this conversation, which you refuse to do. I'm sure it's difficult for anyone to “understand” why you would take 20 preview copies from a Best Buy (Your friends can pick one up with a purchase).

It only takes one disc to watch the preview!! Hoarding is obviously accumulating or gathers things (free or not), which is what you’ve obviously done with a bunch of See No Evil Preview DVDs!! Enjoy!

Can someone scan the $5 off WM 22 coupon? My best buy didn't have any of these discs.

Why wouldn't you? Perhaps taking into consideration anyone else in that store that may have wanted a free disc, that actually bought something, and qualified for the freebie, not your friends? As far as being jealous? Not at all. You took advantage of someone, ruining the chances for atleast 20 other people obtaining the disc, just "because". No other reason than it being free. If you've got a headache and someone offers you 20 asprin, you don't take them all. You leave some for others. It's being considerate of others.

At the Best Buys near me, the bonus discs are available on the tables with the movies. Obviously there's an understanding of trust and logic that suggest that you only need one per person.

What's done is done, though. Next time you should be a little more considerate. If not denying more freebies than you need, use common courtesy to make up for someone else's obvious lack of reason, and take ONE or TWO to be fair. You denied others of something, and now this character on eBay is just karma's way of saying "Hi!".

This bonus disc gave me reason enough to not see the movie in theaters. There was nothing on the disc that pushed me over the edge from "maybe wanting to see it" to actually shelling out the cash and time to see it.

I gotta kinda admit that I am. I mean, I've been shopping at best buy for years and every cashier I've come across usually has no idea when a bonus disc is supposed to be given out or just about anything in terms of "free gifts" are concerned. The fact that you came across that person and they had the wherewithal to realize you were entitled a bonus disc for each and every one of the movies you just purchased, kinda makes me very very jealous.

Jealous because I didn't get an unedumacated retail employee or 20 free bonus discs? Well, in my pawn shop ventures..I got Tool's "Salival" CD/DVD for $10 a piece and made $100 off of them, the time I got the PuppetMaster DVD set for $35 and made $250, or even when I snagged "Panther" for $4 and got $85 for it. Did I mention my FREE copy of "47 Ronin Parts 1 & 2"?

Jealous? Damn right I am. Opportunist? In every sense of the word, but what sets us apart is that everyone else had their chance to obtain what was being offered whereas you didn't allow it.

You summarized up your jealousy by giving a non related "opportunity" point you are trying to state. No one ask, Maybe others care, yet what are you trying to prove? awwww... Oh well.. I'm off to use my $5 off coupon for WM22

You missed the point; I'm not jealous, and I'm not trying to prove anything other than said point, by citing examples that would suggest that I HAVE indeed come across clueless employees, and got something a little more substantial than a crappy disc and coupon, and didn't deny anything to anyone else in the process.
