BestBuy Marketing Team Clueless?
I got my LOTR Adventure Card inside my copy of the TT DVD today and registered. When I was there I clicked on a link that said "Shop BestBuy" and an offer for a coupon popped up so I took a look.

Here's the coupon:



Is it just me or do you notice something wrong with this coupon?

Spoiler:
The extended version of TT doesn't come out until November 18th, so I'd love to see someone actually try to redeem this coupon before 9/30 when they pickup the non-existent Extended version close to 2 months before it's actual release.

Come on BB wake up!

I guess they finally found something else to screw up now that they're done with their new website!

From a marketing stand point this is brilliant!

You actually think they want to give $5.00 off?

Not to mention that anybody buying the TTT Extended Edition probably already has all the other LOTR DVDs he or she wants.

How many other Lord of the Rings DVDs are there to choose from??



But really, aren't all marketing departments clueless? Anyone who reads Dilbert knows its one big Toga party.
