With the CompUSA thing for "Harry Potter," I just pricematched at my VERY nearby Blockbuster. I hope I can do that again this time around. If not, it's arguin' time at BestBuy or Circuit City.

I tried to price match for Harry Potter with the $9.99 price at Blockbuster and they accepted... but all copies for sale were the PAN AND SCAN version :frowning::thumbsdown:

I tried Blockbuster and they almost accepted, but right at the end the manager said basically the same thing Best Buy did, that they were selling it for 14.99 with a 5.00 instant COMPusa rebate, so that did not qualify for price matching. (The figures above may be off, but it was something like that).

It is a national deal, trouble is it's not a print ad that I'm talking about, it's a radio ad, so it's not like you can bring it in to another store for a match. The reason I'm not naming the retailer is because although we have the ad scheduled to air this week, it hasn't played yet, and until it does, I don't want to broadcast it for them -- they may pull it at the last minute, you never know. But it's in our national network inventory... our stations all over the country get the same stuff. What I can say is that it's 9.99, 1 per customer, no rainchecks, through Nov. 20th, while supplies last. So there you go... if they get small shipments, you're out of luck. And I have no idea if the store in question stocks widescreen as a rule. If I had to guess, I'd say it'll be the MAR version.:thumbsdown: As for me, I'm an OAR kid.

Chris, someone else mentioned it in the thread, and it's all over the net already, so I don't think it does any harm to repeat we're talking about Toys R Us.

I would guess most of their DVDs are P&S, hard to say. Even if they get equal numbers of P&S and widescreen, the widescreen ones always go first. So much for the studios knowing what the people want.

I never get up before noon (work second shift) but this is my most anticipated DVD ever. I'll be at Toys R' Us when they open on 11-12.

Gabriel, early ad postings like that aren't allowed here. See the top thread in this section.
