I went to 3 Best Buys this afternoon looking for the 2-pack and none were in stock. Each store had each movie individually priced at $19.99 but after asking one employee, he said, "Come back later on today or tomorrow, we haven't gotten our shipment in yet."

If I had a dollar for each time I've heard that at a BestBuy (MUCH worse in the FL stores than in the New England stores).....
Cool thing about it is you get to fill out YOUR OWN RAINCHECK!!! I carry a stack of blanks in my car, just....in....case.

NOFX, There were a few stores in the Houston area that didn't receive them. It is legit. I was talking to a friend of mine who works at the Willowbrook area store, and she told me that they had yet to receive the packs or the DD5.1 singles, but had gotten the DTS and Full Screen versions. I went to the Greenspoint location, and they had gotten them in. Not Best Buy's fault here. It's the fault of the vendor or UPS.

Maybe Universal did not anticipate the demand. It's the first pre-order I have made at Buy.com which I have yet to receive, one day after official release.

They're only $15 (A$25 set) each in shops down here.
How come they're $20 - $30 over there?
