The Office (BBC) 10th Anniversary Special Edition - $4.99 @ Best Buy
I picked this up last week at BB in a $4.99 bin. Thought it was a pretty good find since it's selling for $26 on Amazon. I figured at the time that it might be a random YMMV bargain so I just casually mentioned it in one of the BB threads. Since then, a few others have indicated they have found it in their stores and it appears it can be purchased online for store pickup or to be shipped (free s/h).

Thanks for posting this. "Sorry, there was an error processing your request" is what I get every time I attempt to use a valid gift card to order. Of course it took it when I paid explicitly by credit card. It seems BB tries its best to make sure you can't use RZ certificates (by the $4.99 price vs. $5 certificate amount) or GCs even when you have them available by one trick or another. Now we'll see if they actually have it there when I go later this week or if they'll cancel it and call it a price mistake. All I know is I'm not rushing there to pick it up (nor am I able to go to stores easily any more thanks to F'n work destroying my schedule).

Yes, I'm sure this was BB specifically denying you using a gift card, and not just a system error preventing it.

From tvshowsondvd, here is what is new in this set:
Episode Introductions (30:37)
Matthew Perry, Richard Curtis, Ben Stiller, Christopher Guest, David Baddiel, Martin Freeman, Mackenzie Crook, Lucy Davis, Ewan Macintosh, and, of course, Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais talk about the episodes in season 1 in these episode intros. Hugh Jackman was mentioned on the packaging, but if he was in one of these then I completely missed it (and I watched them twice to be sure).
Episode 1 (6:52)
Episode 2 (3:50)
Episode 3 (4:52)
Episode 4 (5:28)
Episode 5 (4:42)
Episode 6 (4:53)
The Full Pilot (19:25)
The full, original pilot of the show.
Comedy Connections (38:45)
A great episode of "Comedy Connections" that looks at the series. While is covers some familiar ground, there was also a number of stories I hadn't heard before.
Web Videos (41:56)
A bunch of interview videos that appeared online. These were shot at the same time as the episode introductions found on season 1.
The Beginning (10:13)
The Style (7:54)
Comedy (7:44)
Impact (6:23)

I already own both seasons, but I don't have the Christmas specials. This is probably cheaper than buying the separate release.

Picked this up today. My store had 3-4 copies on the shelf.
Been meaning to check this version out and this is the perfect price point.

Apparently, but I don't know why. It's a gift card with a sufficient balance and not a store credit so it should've worked online for anything I tried to order. When I go to the store (tomorrow or Friday) if I see any of these for $4.99, I'll buy with my GC and not pick up my order. The pick up order is my backup in case they're OOS on the floor. (BB's normal state of most stuff I want is OOS)
