The display case at Best Buy this evening made a big deal about their exclusive version with 24 page comic book, but there weren't any copies, nor was there an empty slot where copies had been.


I didn't really care one way or the other about it, so I happily picked up the regular Blu-Ray, but still kind of perplexing.

Anyone happen to know the Costco price this week for "Kingsman"? They often have a discount on new titles during release week to be more competitive with the other retailers release week sales.

The local Walmart is charging $22.43 (odd price?) and I'm wondering if it's worth the trip to Costco.

It's Best Buy? I mean, I know that's not a good answer, but that's the thing that comes to mind. The company they outsource media to can't be bothered to have new price stickers on the floor on Sunday's (sometimes not any time in the week) at my closest store. Their genre system is perplexing and they tend to not have items which are advertised on sale.

Jason - Best Buy no longer outsources their media dept. If you can't find what you're looking for, ask the guy in yellow at the front of the store. That's part of their job.

Really? Wow...that's complete news to me. And welcome news. When did that happen and, more importantly, how did I now know about it? :D


Thanks Todd!

Don't worry, I neither knew about the outsourcing nor the non-outsourcing until a few minutes ago. :D
