WTF? Best Buy doesn't even carry 'PLEASANTVILLE'!? (1 Viewer)

[Inspector Hammer!]

I was going to buy this great movie today, but I couldn't find it, so I asked one of the "blue shirts" if they had it in stock, and she checked her computer and told me that they don't carry the film!?

Is this film OOP now? I hope not.

 

[Jesse Skeen]

It's because they got complaints about the color in the movie; the blue shirts are gonna change to gray soon too

I work at Circuit City and we still carry it for 1599

They did carry it at one time - I bought my copy at Best Buy.

Busted Buy drops lots of older titles. If you ask them about getting them, they'll tell you to use their miserable website or to go to Sam Goodys which they own. I don't shop at Sam Goodys and I order from much better e-tailers.

Best Buy still carries it, but its spelled incorrectly in the system, so to someone that doesn't do a little bit of extra work, it would appear that Best Buy didn't carry it at all. But it's there--trust me, I know--I looked it up, when my Reese Witherspoon infatuation kicked in a couple of years ago.
(Think it might be in there as "Plesantville" or "Pleasentville". I can find out for sure tomorrow.)
(There are a crapload of things that are listed incorrectly in the system, btw. . .) :rolleyes

They carry it. After it was on TV this week I almost picked it up when I saw it on the shelf at my local Best Buy. That was Tuesday.

 

[David Lambert]

I saw copies of it at my local BB the other day. It was in a white four-sided rack full of mostly WB/NL/affiliated titles for $14.99 or less.

Try to find "The Hidden" DVD at Best Buy...

 

[Robert Ringwald]

I think I might pick this one up soon, I remember liking it quite a bit.

 

[David Lambert]

Is it hidden, Patrick?

they'll tell you to use their miserable website

This is off the subject of Pleasantville, but I went into BB looking for Our Man Flint and In Like Flint. Of course, they didn't have either title in stock. I checked their website while in the store. Both titles are available on-line, but they show the List Price as $14.98 and the Selling Price as $14.99. No sale for me.

Both titles are available on-line, but they show the List Price as $14.98 and the Selling Price as $14.99. No sale for me.

What's the matter with one extra cent? Why does that constitute a "no sale"?

 

[David Lambert]

He's saying it sells for 1¢ above the LIST Price. Everyone else is selling that for either $9.99 or $12.99...check Circuit City or Borders, for example. I heard Targets that have them they go for $9.44!

 

[John Berggren]

Wherever you can find it, it's an excellent film, and an excellent DVD. I've never had a problem finding older discs at Best Buy, but that's probably because I generally don't have the patience to let them get "old".

 

[Randy_M]

I bought the Flint films at Target for 9.44 each. They still have tons of them in my area stores...

 

[Marty M]

Thanks, David for helping clarify my point about Best Buy. I hardly think of Target for catalog titles of DVDs. I did get A Beautiful Mind at Target with the calculator, but generally only go to Best Buy. The Target store in our town is right across the street so I will have make a trip there while I am in the neighborhood.

 

[Colin-H]

At Target they're $9.44, buy 2 get one free on the 4 60s flicks released Tuesday.

 

[Matt Birchall]

They're listed in the Best Buy system as "Pleasanville", so, if an employee doesn't search, it would seem as if Best Buy doesn't handle the film.
