Same thing happened to me on Sunday. All Season 5 sets have a Season 6 prequel which is exclusive to the set, but Best Buy also had a bonus disc with some sets when it was released 3 weeks ago. The bonus disc sets have a different UPC # than the ones without. My guess someone at corporate forgot to enter that UPC in the computer for the sale this week. I tried to explain it was a free bonus disc and that they both had $49.99 stickers on them, but because the sticker for the Best Buy exclusive didn't say free they wouldn't sell it for the $19.99.:rolleyes

Larry:

Question #1 re: Black Dahlia HD-DVD. I figure it got delayed.

BTW, did you know Scarlett Johansson is in that film?



I completely missed the deal at BB on Tax Cut Premium & State and the free DVD up to $19.99. Thanks for pointing it out! Someone might want to pick up a copy of The Black Dahlia starring Scarlett Johansson:



It is also pretty cool that you were able to use that deal to pick up 24: Season 5! These 24 deals at BB & Target are unbelievable. The entire rest of the year I will be watching people buy copies of season sets of 24 for prices like $48.99 and $54.99 and just be shaking my head in disbelief! :frowning:

Mike:

Ah, indeed I am aware that Scarlett Johansson is in Black Dahlia, which is one of the reasons I want it in HD-DVD. Unless I am mistaken, this will be her first HD release.

BTW - I picked up the SD-DVD for the interim, but at $16.99 it wouldn't be as good a deal as a freebee.

Thanks for all your work.

 

[Mike Frezon]

All right, Larry. Since you insist on keeping up this conversation...I find it necessary to post another picture of SJ...as I ponder what an HD-DVD image of her might yield:



Okay, okay. I'm done!

BTW, during a quick trip to my local BB today (which I had been trying to avoid) I found they had NO copies af ANY seasons of 24. But, of course, YMMV.

 

[Ric Easton]

I was at the same Best Buy, and they offered a raincheck... So, I took it. I understand this may not be their usual policy on sale dvd items, I may have just gotten a more sympathetic clerk.

 

[Mike Frezon]

From Mike's Pocket Dictionary of Oxymorons:

"BB clerk" and "Sympathetic"



Good for you, Ric! Anyone who can get 24: Season 5 for $19.99 is getting a great deal--even if it is delayed a week or so. Since I didn't see any Season 5s when I was at the same BB as Ric...and certainly didn't see any "sympathetic" clerks...I will rest content with my merely "good" deal of $24.99 at Target!

 

[LarryH]

Mike, I hadn't check this thread for a few days! Glad I came back!

Happy New Year!

 

[Mike Frezon]

Happy New Year to you!

 

[Frank@N]

And here I thought someone had post a on-line coupon or something...

Anyway if you're into SJ you might want to check out 'Love Song for Bobby Long'.

She shows lots of curves and there's a partial nude shot.

 

[Henry Gale]

Thought someone had turned this thread into a sticky, so glad I came back to check it out. I loves me some Scarlett.

WRU threads don't usually have a long shelf-life! This may be a new record!
