TonyD,

I'd check with your state Attorney General's Consumer Affairs office.

I think if a store has specifically advertised an item for sale, they either have to have the item in stock OR issue a raincheck. They can't just lure you to the store then say, "too bad, so sad, come back again soon."

Tony, I get the same kind of crap at my local CC. They often don't have advertised titles, and if they do, it's only 1 or 2 copies. Even if they do have stuff, it's often difficult to find - and don't bother asking the staff. They don't know what's going on.

I see people complaining about Best Buy all the time, and I can only conclude they've never shopped at Circuit City. BB ain't perfect, but CC often makes 'em look like they are.

I thought this was odd. I have yet to pick up Bill Cosby - Himself and found myself in a Wal-Mart yesterday. They didn't have any and the rather-informed electronics clerk I spoke with said others had been asking for it and that they have checked and they show no paperwork that they are ever going to get any.

Seems like a real family-oriented disc. Wonder why?

But they did have Kill Bill for $15.87. :rolleyes

Off to the mall to pick one up.

Thanks again HTF for saving me a few dollars.
Picked up Lost Boys today at BB ($17.99). I'm glad I got it the first week because the sticker on it said $24.99, so I'm sure it will be there soon.
While I was there also picked up The Pefect Storm for $9.99.

Lost Boys I've been patiently waiting for since I've never picked up the barebones (as much as I really wanted to).

Perfect Storm also looked like a great movie with quality extras. I remember renting it & really enjoying the movie but never caught the extras. Plus with the recent events it only seemed fitting. This will probably get played before TLB.

Again,
Thanks.

Well, I'm back from Circuit City where I got my Bill Cosby -- Himself for $8.99!
