    Weekly RoundUp 5/18/04

    Both Disney Stores were sold out of the Donald tin by 10:30am. Went to BB couldn't find Donald and Mickey at first. The Sales rep and I ended up finding them on a display cap. By the way, When the sales person looked them up in the computer it appears most stores in the area (MN) we...

    Star Wars Trilogy - Share The Love

    I will wait this one out. Realizing how long this has been on the most wanted top ten, the in-store specials and giveaways should be insane on this set. I expect there will be more than a few loss leaders throwing in free dvds and exclusive figures. :) I can not wait :) :) :)

    Weekly RoundUp 3/30

    Yup a no go. No double promotions. Yet another undocumented policy! What a bunch of BS.

    Weekly RoundUp 3/30

    Local Best Buy refused to the Kmart TCM Pricematch w/ free Org TCM. On the phone with BB customer service. They are claiming I am double dipping and that I can only choose 1 offer. I will let you know how it goes. Any yes I know, -NEVER CALL THE STORE. But they have my money!

    My Terrible Best Buy Experience...

    Wow the experience above was extreme. I agree they should have taken care of the customer. I also have had my disputes with the CSRs at best buy and as a result will purchase from in-store and never from Bestbuy.com again. I live in Minneapolis and took part in a customer feed back workshop a...

    Does any store *really* sell DVDs at a lost?

    Dave, Quote "don't most studios offer "price protection" for markdowns, especially to the biggest retailers?" The answer is yes, however that is if you are a larger retail and you purchase directly from a larger Manufacturer. Stores will often purchase from secondary distribuitors...

    Does any store *really* sell DVDs at a lost?

    Yes retailers lose money on DVDs. Eveyweek a list is posted showing the manufaturer price changes. For those with inventory a $29.99 to $9.99 drop has a little sting to it. While the true cost of producing the dvd doesn't cost $9.99 everyone has to get their cut. I work in purchasing...

    Matrix Reloaded Deals

    Matrix Reloaded and limited edition Matrix metal CD case at Blockbuster for $14.99 after price match. The CD case was to be for preorders only but they apparently over ordered and the stores received an email from corporate to giving them away for free. The case is cheap but better than...

    Weekly Roundup 8/26 (a VERY big week!)

    hmmm. Got to pass on the Desperado & El Mariachi dvds. I will wait for the 3 pack which will likley drop in Dec/Jan. I don't expect the movie to last long in the theaters. I have learned my lesson on the double dipping a few to many times now. The fact that the movies have been already dropped...

    American Pie Beneath the Crust details?

    Next weeks repackaging of the american pie movies each come with a new extras dvd. Beneath the Crust 1 & Beneath the Crust 2 Other than new interviews does anybody know if there any new content? My concern is that the extras are just the extras that were added to the ultimate addition.

    Correct me if I am wrong but I don't beleive my post indicated that I was upset. I believe there was ;) I and suspect others like to be able to follow a topic in a single thread rather than jumping around to multiple. It just makes life easier:) This link may work --- I hope...

    Love Bug for $14.44 at Wal-Mart

    Attention Walmart Shoppers Most Walmart stores maintain a 2nd separate display with Disney titles. The last 3 Walmarts I have been to all used the 4 sided isle displays. A spot for the Rescuers and the Love Bug were clearly labeled on the displays. I tend to find the Rescuers more than the...

    No BestBuy.com returns or pickups at the B&M

    I attempted to return a BestBuy.com order at last night only to be told that they were not able to process returns. I was told that due some work they are doing on the .com site that for the next 30 days they will have only sporadic access to manage pickups and returns. The Tech behind the...

    Bond Free DVD missing from BB.com orders

    I received my Bond DVD in the mail today only to find out they forgot to send the free "Bond Girls Are Forever" DVD. After calling BB customer service the CSR made it sound as if everyone who order online didn't receive the free DVD. The CSR stated that the free DVD was out of stock and they...

    Blackhawk Down 3-Disc $16 @ My.Sony

    Luis, Please, Please, Please DO NOT CALL when you think there is a deal "to good to be true"! The less attention brought to a deal the better. Most order fulfilment systems will allow orders to be sent out without attracting the company's attention. But talking to a rep who then talks to...

    any word on future blockbuster rental card deals?

    Blockbuster tends to mix up what they buy. Drumline was fullscreen again while ST Nemisis was widescreen. My local Bestbuy has just anounced that the 30 day Gamepass is returning this summer again.
