I think Universal underestimated this title. I have 10 local Best Buy stores. 1 still has the digibook available. Only 2 even have the regular combo pack still in stock.

This might be pretty limited. From what I've read, Best Buy stores got a range of 3-12 copies of the digibook, which was a full advertised item. I'm sure they'll get more stock before the sale ends, but I think this might be a real limited edition.

I think the E.T. steelbook won't be too plentiful either.

How would it ruin anything if you know the movie?

This was posted on the Jaws Facebook page, in response to the low stock:

"Demand outpaced expectations and more product will be arriving in stores over the upcoming days and weeks."

yeah I started watching it, and it becomes apparent some spoilers are revealed if you haven't seen it before.

Re: Jaws - 8/14/12

I totally get what Scott's saying. I want to watch the movie again so it's fresh when I see the behind-the-scenes stuff.

Was at my local Best Buy at 10:30 this morning and they had 8 copies of the Digi. Snagged one and used a $3 universal coupon. Will be watching this tomorrow.

Minor, but I was glad to see the digibook booklet is different than the one that came with the 30th Anniversary DVD. I would have been easy to just re-use that one.

Yeah, I was considering keeping my steelbook pre-order and just buying the Best Buy exclusive for the hell of it (with a $3 Uni coupon), but it's nowhere to be found within about two hours distance from here. Disappointing.

Re: Jaws - 8/14/12

I went to 2 Best Buys in the Chicago 'burbs yesterday evening. Both had only a couple of DVD copies left and that was it. One of them had the "ad correction" which stated No Rainchecks which I find to be incredibly bad customer service considering they failed to mention in their ad that each store would get a MAX of 2 copies.

Nothing at Target, Walmart and Fry's as well.

Finally found one copy at Meijer for $17.99. Yay!

I find it incredibly bad customer reaction to make a statement that is absolutely false

Same experience for me. Finally just went to Fred Meyer and got the standard release for $20.

Re: Jaws - 8/14/12

Was really excited to pick up the digibook at Best Buy yesterday after work ...

... but now, I'll wait for the price on the standard edition to drop below $10 and I'll purchase it from Amazon then.

Fuck you Best Buy.
