I got to WORST BUY at 9:55, and was the first one at the shelves. There were 16 copies of the Exclusive Set there, and I bought one - I nearly bought one extra to sell later on, but changed my mind.
Two other fans arrived right after me, they each picked up one copy. All three of us were looking for the MGM Midnite Movies, but they were not stocked. One of the guys asked an employee to look them up on the computer, and he got it all wrong no matter what we told him:
"MIGNIGHT MOVIE" (instead of "MIDNITE MOVIES").
"RETURN TO DRACULA" (instead of "RETURN OF DRACULA").
And so on....
Ultimately, he confirmed that these were available online, at which point one of these guys ripped him a new a-hole, saying how he's sick and tired of Worst Buy driving everyone else out of the business, and that at least they used to carry everything. He also said he doesn't like putting his credit card online, and he's sick of racking up a huge amount of credit charges, etc.... Then he said how the store lost a huge sale right here, as we three fans would have bought at least 15 discs between us. Actually, I would have said exactly these same things, but this fella saved me the trouble!
At the checkout counter the clerk asked how I was doing, and I told him -- this store is useless, etc...
I walked right across the way to FYE -- nothing.
I drove to CIRCUIT CITY -- nothing.
Looks like the Midnite Movies will have to be gotten online.
