Well the point I think people are trying to make in this thread is that we're apparently no longer being given a choice in the matter. I was willing to pay the Tuesday advertised "street price" on these sets if they were available. I purchased "Rockford Files: Season 6" from Amazon out of frustration. (BTW, It's curious to me that both of these sets were in the Sunday Best Buy circular even though only one store out of the three in our area was going to have any in.)
As far as the money that Best Buy is making on the DVDs: Again, that's not the point. When people come into Best Buy to purchase DVDs they will often browse the other areas of the store and purchase items that *will* provide a profit for the store. For example, I always look through the A/V Receivers, Blu-ray players area, and the Computer area whenever I make the sojourn to Best Buy for discs. At the very least, I'll usually purchase some computer supplies. I won't be doing that as frequently anymore.
