[DEAD] Best Buy: 24 Season 1 $16.99, Seasons 2-6 $1.99 each!

[Indiana Jones]

Just got back from Best Buy. This week every season of 24 is on sale there for $16.99 each. However, on the special edition of Season 1 is a manufacturer's coupon that is good for $15 off seasons 2-6 (up to a $75 value). So if you buy Season 1 special edition and use the coupon, you can get the rest of the seasons for $1.99 a pop!

You can apply the coupon on all the rest of the seasons? Wouldn't it be one use only?

[Burchamj]

yeah, need clarification can u get 15 off each season at once?

[Indiana Jones]

The coupon itself says $15 off the rest of the seasons for up to $75 savings, $15 off per season.

And when the coupon is scanned at the Best Buy register, once the cashier accepts it the discount applies to the rest of the seasons.

[unholy]

It's $15 off ANY and EVERY season bought with season 1. I just got all six seasons half an hour ago, for $26.94 + tax TOTAL.

Edit: eh, beat me to it.

[SDC]

So would I need to buy Season 1 first, fish out the coupon, and then buy 2-6? Or is this an automatic thing?

[WeaponX2099]

Can we use a copy?

[KyleN]

Can we use a copy?

The coupon is right on front of the S1 SE box.

[Indiana Jones]

It's an automatic thing so you can buy them all at one time. And why would you need to use a copy? The coupon's on the front (outside) of every Season 1: Special Edition box.

Best Buy shouldn't care about the massive discount since they get their money back through the manufacturer. But once this happens at a store, I'm sure the cashier will think about grabbing 24 for him or herself.

[Mojimbo]

It's online too.

[GenPion]

It's attached to the season one special edition set.... and obviously, YMMV, but the discount would apply to the one transaction. So you'd be paying $16.99 for Season 1: Special Edition, and $1.99 for each other season set. With the coupon you can get all the sets for less than $30. Awesome deal.

Unfortunately, the manager at my Best Buy shot me down on this. Very unfair. I am going to try and go back to get in on the deal tomorrow.

[GenPion]

It's online too.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?type=category&id=pcmcat151000050005

Actually, with the online deal you would only be able to get two seasons for $20. Not all six seasons for $27. Unless I am missing something...

[SDC]

It's online too.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?type=category&id=pcmcat151000050005

It seems to only discount one season online, unfortunately.

[WeaponX2099]

The coupon is right on front of the S1 SE box.


I'm at home. I couldn't tell if it's on the inside and big coupon or That little bitty coupon.

[Mojimbo]

Oh, I see.

That's a pretty sick deal.

[njchris]

It's online too.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?type=category&id=pcmcat151000050005

I just tried it online but it looks like it only makes ONE of the other seasons $1.99

Edit: oops someone beat me to it.

[howard]

This is a nice deal. Thanks Junior!

[slidecage]

might have to try it tomorrow. doubt it works. 300 bucks in DVDS for less ten 30 Doubtful they will allow it

[Indiana Jones]

Well I got all six seasons for $30, and so did unholy, so I'm not sure how you would doubt that it happened.

It's not like Best Buy is only getting $1.99 for seasons 2-6 -- they get the money refunded back to them when it comes to manufacturer coupons. The only way you can't get the deal is if the cashier freaks out about the discount and calls up a manager or something like that. At the store I went to, the register took the coupon fine, no need for supervisor override or anything.

Sometimes Managers are stupid, so people will get denied. I will try, but I won't be surprised if I get shot down by a manager.

[Poor2More]

Well I just got back....I got shot down...They said you cant use it with any other offer...I said what offer would that be.....He said its on Sale....since when is that considered an offer? I left it at that

[Veronica Mars]

OP, I think you should put YMMV.

[y2jrevolution]

Well I just got back and it worked for me as well. I got shot down at one Best Buy and they told me the same thing about a sale and an offer being considered the same thing. I then went to another best buy and it worked.

FYI.... The coupon WILL scan into the computer and automatically take $15.00 off every season 2-6. I saw the screen where it asks "are you sure you want to continue and apply coupon to every season." It said something to that effect but, sure enough it works. So maybe ask them to scan it so you can see for yourself. Good luck!

[Friend of Sonic]

Holy shit. I don't even watch 24, but holy shit.

[ajh2298]

It was going to work for me also but I only ended up picking up the new season one set in the metal box for myself and a copy of season 6 for my brother-in-law, that was the only one he was missing. I figured I let BB slide on this on since I had all the season already and I wanted someone else to get in on the deal in my area.

[anomynous]

Holy shit. I don't even watch 24, but holy shit.

Perfect time to get into it 8-)8-)

[Friend of Sonic]

Perfect time to get into it 8-)8-)
True! Although, none of my stores have every set in stock. The one nearest to me is missing one set, and the other that is near too is missing another. Then the other stores are missing almost all of them =/

[MICHAE2414]

I'd get in on this since I've never watched 24 before, but none of the stores near me have Season 1 in stock, making the rest of the deal moot. :-(

no i mean i doubt they will allow it at my Best buy

[slidecage]

Holy shit. I don't even watch 24, but holy shit.


funny thing is i dont really watch 24 but been hearing how good of a show it was over the past few years... so i picked up season 1-5 on sale for 10 to 20 a pop.... I think i picked up

season 5 Thanksgiving 2007
season 3 and 4 sometime in 2006
Season 1 and 2 guessing thanksgiving 2005

and i still have them all SEALED NEVER WATCHED any yet

i got around 20 TV DVD box sets still sealed... One day i want to watch Sledge hammer and see if its still funny

[andyjharper]

Well I just got back....I got shot down...They said you cant use it with any other offer...I said what offer would that be.....He said its on Sale....since when is that considered an offer? I left it at that

Someone should point out to a manager that online obviously accepts this offer (for one season at least) so why wouldn't the brick and mortor stores? Seems to me that if the website allows it then the stores should do the same thing. Of course logic like that will go right over their heads.

[mitch079]

For those of you getting shot down, try this:

Do an in-store pickup with season 1 and one other for 1.99 on the website. When you get to the store, grab the rest of the seasons, walk up to the pickup counter and say, "I'd also like to buy these (other seasons)" when you get there and use the coupon. They'd be hard-pressed to argue that the coupon wouldn't work, right?

[sparklecopy]

Best Buy and YMMV go hand in hand

Damn that is a swell idea bro.......I would hate to go their and get shot down...Gas is $4.....damn its hard to resist

[slidecage]

they pulled the same thing with the 10 buck off Fox Dvd set coupons said sale prices are not included... Does the coupon say not vaild with any other offers? if so then many will be shot down

Got shot down as well.. and I did point to the web site. Since the web site only allow for Season 1 @16.99 plus ONE other season 2-6 (1.99), that's all I can get.

Paid $18.97 plus tax for Season 1 and Season 6.

Wanted to try to buy another set (Season 1 and Season 5), thinking maybe I can do a partial return (for Season 1 only).. but they already ran out of Season 1.
No go.

I think it is all YMMV.

[Lord Draconus777]

I just did this at a store in Roseville, Michigan, definitely worked. I got Season 1 special edition, and then season 3 4 5 and 6 for $1.99 each. I couldn't get season 2 because they were out of it unfortunately, but I couldn't just go to another store because no other store had the special edition and thus the coupon. Guess I'll just buy season 2 for the sale price sometime this week.

Seriously, an amazing deal though, I've never seen 24, but heard enough about it to spend a couple jeffersons on the series :)

[Indiana Jones]

Sometimes Managers are stupid, so people will get denied. I will try, but I won't be surprised if I get shot down by a manager.

There are always going to be stupid managers and supervisors. One time, I went to a store and bought a video game. It went on sale at another store, so I brought the ad in to get the price difference refunded. The supervisor said he couldn't do that, that they only price match at the time of the sale and that he could lose his job if he pulled a stunt like that... even though in the electronics department there was a freaking large sign on the wall that said I could bring in a competitor's ad within 30 days of purchase to get the difference back!!!!!!!

[G33]

Since I'm currently on vacation, unable to get to Best Buy, I was thinking of doing the deal online. Which of the seasons would you recommend me to get? I already own season 1 and 2, so 3 would be the logical answer, but I was wondering what opinions everyone else had.

Also, is it worth upgrading from the old sets to the newer thinpaks?

[Teqonix]

Stopped by my local Best Buy today and got the very last copies of seasons 2, 4, and 5 along with the SE of 1 and 6.

This is definitely one sweet deal - I think I've paid around $20 per season of 24 (already own them), but I couldn't pass this up. $6 more than the usual season price for Season 6 (haven't seen it yet), and I end up with everything but season 3.

These are gonna make a great gift for somebody.

[BillyBob29]

Sounds like a sweet deal of those that don't already own the sets. I've already got them all.....well all of them I care to own, I wouldn't drop even $1.99 on Season 6.

[jcp4322]

Got all 6 for $28.00. The cashier even commented on how good a deal it was since they are on sale to begin with. Thanks OP

[Demolition Man]

Also, is it worth upgrading from the old sets to the newer thinpaks?

No its not for season 2 and 3. Its the same content in an smaller box. Season 1 SE is worth the upgrade for the new extras.

[Veronica Mars]

Wow. People caught on fast to this! I checked, and local store had all seasons in stock, now it shows none of the 5 stores have any.

[G33]

No its not for season 2 and 3. Its the same content in an smaller box. Season 1 SE is worth the upgrade for the new extras.

Okay, thanks for the information. Ordered Season 1 SE and Season 3 (didn't have it) for ~$25. Not as good as ~$30 for all six seasons, but still a decent deal.

[youbastards]

thanks OP, great deal!8-)

[Needles-Kane]

Wish this post would have been up before I went to Best Buy :bomb: Hopefully they'll all be there when I go back later this week.

Not really. If you already have the old sets, the only difference is season 1 which has the bonus extras (there're all in FullScreen anyway). Unless you really want to watch the extras (only has 26 mins) for Season 1, it is not worth to upgrade at this time. Perhaps, just get Season 4,5 and 6 since they're pretty good deal at $16.99 per box this week.

This is definitely good deal for those who have not collected any of the 24 box set yet.

[Masterkyo]

Wow! Suck bestbuy now is closed. I'll hit them tomorrow :)

[gregthomas77]

worked in Fayetteville, NC. they didn't have season 6 in stock, but i was able to get seasons 1-5

Yeah, I'm planning to give away my existing season 1 to a friend who borrowed it and liked it. It was only $4 more to get season 1 with season 3 (next in chronological order), so I figured that was the best deal. I may do the same for season 4, maybe try and get someone else interested in the series.

$17 isn't a bad price for a season, considering I picked up my first two at $20 (which was also a good deal).

[Teqonix]

You know, I also realized at the store that Best Buy has pretty much all Fox TV shows on sale for $17. Anything else I should consider picking up? I hear Bones is pretty good.

[Agrippan]

Anyone know when this coupon expires, and is it specifically a Best Buy coupon, or would I be able to get it on the S1:SE anywhere?

[botticus]

So I already own S1-5, but I need S6. So I either buy S6 for $17, or I buy S1-S6 for $28. I imagine I could sell the 5 duplicate sets for more than $10.

[62t]

none of the store have season 1 in stock, so no deal for me

[B1gniss]

I went down to my bestbuy to see if it was true. And it was. I got the whole set for like 35 bucks. I think they charged me the tax for the full amount without the coupon. So watch out for that. But other than that its one of the best deals ive ever seen.

[loserboy]

It's worth buying Season 1, even at full price somewhere, to get the rest of them that cheap! Hell, you only need the coupon, you could return the unused season one wherever you bought it once you've used the coupon.

[Needles-Kane]

Thankfull another family member was going right next to Best Buy and picked up the SE Season 1 with the coupon on it :bouncy: They only had seasons 2 and 3 there so I told her to just get the SE S1 and I can do a return and rebuy with all seasons at a different store- I'm hyped!!!

[Aladuf23]

Awesome deal! I just picked up seasons 1 and 2 online. I haven't seen those seasons in a long time.

[Friend of Sonic]

Sick deal! I got all six. Thanks OP.

[Zipomatic2]

Was going to post about this deal, but then I saw this thread.

T'was spooky, me and the wife just went into Best Buy to kill some time and saw the 24 seasons for $16.99, and since I needed season 4, figured what the heck. Then the wife notices the $15 instant rebate on the S1 SE.

She opened the coupon and noticed that you got $15 off ALL other seasons (up to $75 value) so I grabbed all the sets and asked the cashier if the coupon did indeed work on all seasons. He scanned them all in, then the coupon and 2-6 came up at $1.99 each.

Bargain-a-rama!

So, since I already have S1, is the S1 SE *that* much better than the original?

BTW, Evansville, IN was the store this worked at, they had all 6 seasons at about 4pm when I bought mine.

[happy]

I may need to borrow a car and take a trip tomorrow...

[v1et r1ce]

I'm getting my dad to check two stores around his work. The first one supposedly only has seasons 1 and 3 left so hopefully the second store will have at least 4 or 5 of them.

[TheRock88]

All stores around me are sold out according to the store tracker. Hopefully they get a restock sometime this week.

[UncleBob]

Dang it, OP - there went $45 I didn't have. ;)

(Picked up 1 SE & 6, along with Bones SSN2 for the wife)...

Thanks... I think... ;)

[akumaking]

Yeah, I went to Best buy got the special addition 1st season And was able to use the coupon located on the outside of the dvd box for all the seasons including the 1st one. Total came out to like $28. Thanks for the thread!!!

[takotchi]

I had no trouble getting S1-6 for about $28 at the Colonial Heights, VA Best Buy. I've been wanting these for a while, but they were too expensive... then I wanted to hold out for Blu-ray versions, but at $1.99 I couldn't pass it up.

[Veronica Mars]

Local Store Sold out today, as usual.

[Zero Kyori]

I was able to get this deal without any problems. $28.56 was definitely worth it for 6 seasons of 24.

[Poor2More]

wow I called another local bestbuy before they closed, and some ass hat bought 4 fucken sets of 24 (seasons 1-6) but yet I couldent manage to get one set (I was denied)

[maximus101]

Best deal I've had in the past two years.

[argyle]

Bah, only tracker says my local store only has seasons 3&4 right now. How accurate is that thing anyway? Wonder if it's worth it for me to swing by tomorrow & double-check.

BTW, is this a Best Buy only coupon, or on the season 1 SE sets at all stores? Wondering what my odds are of getting CC to pricematch BB's price on the sets and then use the coupon?

The coupon is a manufacturer's coupon on the outside of the 24 Season 1 SE DVD Tin on the lower left hand corner. I heard the comes up invalid at CC on another forum. Could be that the clerk scanned the incorrect UPC.

[SubjectNameHere]

Several local stores have 2-6 but only 3 stores have 1SE and are 30, 35, and 45 miles away. Can we find out if this coupon is on the outside of all the 1SE sets? Fry's Electronics said they have 20 in stock but they wouldn't answer me on the coupon thing since they "couldn't leave the phone desk."

[Scorch]

holy. fuck.

that's an amazing deal!!!

[Pookymeister]

ill be there tomorrow morning at opening

[MorPhiend]

I wonder how accurate the tracker is. There are not many copies and no Season 1 copies within a couple hundred miles of me according to the tracker. Around here, I'd be lucky to get them to honor what the coupon says though. People are cheap in these parts and when they think someone is getting a good deal that they are missing out on, they will deny you the deal no matter how plain the wording is.
At least it's not CC though, because they are the worst about it. They'll make up a story just to avoid giving a sale price.

I'd love to get a few sets and give them as presents (people would flip out thinking of the fortune that I must've paid, LoL). But if this deal even flies here, they'd probably bust me when I came to checkout with three or four sets of the series and tell me "No resellers" or some BS like that. Oh well, they probably just pulled what they had from the shelves and put them in the back until the sale is over. They do that here a lot as well...:roll:

[Wlogan31]

Yeah - no sets w/in like 50 miles of me either...wish I knew whether that was accurate. Guess I'll call in the morning

[shadowkast]

i was gonna hit up bestbuy 2morrow regardless of this deal, now i'm stoked

[shrike4242]

One thing people need to remember about the in-stock indicator with BB. Bear with me, as this isn't a quick explanation.

When an item is showing as available as order able for in-store pickup from BB.com, it's because their inventory is showing more than three copies of that item in-stock. If the item is showing as unavailable as an in-store pickup order on BB.com, it's due to two things:

1) The inventory on that item has gone to three or less showing in-stock. At this point, the website gets a message from the in-store inventory that there isn't any items in-stock to prevent issue with the item being ordered and not being present, because people may be checking out with the items or have them on-hand.
2) Whoever in the ops group of BB that is going to pick the item for fulfilling the in-store pickup can't find the item, even if there's dozens of them on-hand. If they can't find the item, they assume there's none on-hand, and marks the item as "No Pick", which means they have no more of the item. In-store inventory could show something different by calling the store, though BB.com sees it as out of stock. The only way this can be fixed is by someone in ops removing the "No Pick" status for that SKU, which shows it in-stock if there's more than three of them on-hand, and still unavailable if there's 0-3 of them on-hand.

Basically, even if BB.com shows the item(s) as unavailable, there might be 0-3 of them on-hand in the store, and only a call to the store to check in RSS with the SKU # of the item would show true real-time, to-the-second inventory.

Hope that helps clear things up.

[MorPhiend]

Wow. You're amazing, Shrike.

[Zackattack33]

This deal is unreal. I was about to buy all of the seasons this week, I can't wait to dip out of work and stop at a Best Buy near me.

[shrike4242]

Wow. You're amazing, Shrike.I learned all the ins-and-outs of how that works when they had a promotion on BB.com that would get you a $10 RZ cert for any order on BB.com. I ordered a pack of batteries, and it turned into a comedy of errors from that point forward.

Hope that helped explain how BB.com's in-store pickup works.

[outphase]

The Mission Valley location in San Diego mysteriously had the $15 coupons peeled off of the boxes. Methinks a manager was afraid of the deal or employees kept it for themselves.

[bill123]

for anyone who's seen the coupon does the 15 off work with the scan of the coupon or does the 1st season need to be purchased at the same time with everything else to work? I'm just thinking that I could save the aggravation and PM the 1st season at walmart and get the coupon form it then take the coupon to BB and get the rest of the seasons. That way I know I can find the first season and get the rest at a steal without having to deal with the shady shit that the previous poster encountered at his store.

[MrFriday18]

Picked up all 6 seasons at Paramus, NJ store with no problem. They only had 3 copies of season 1 and all are gone now.

[Foo228]

holy. fuck.

that's an amazing deal!!!

Exactly what I was thinking...damn good deal! Thanks op :applause:

[Pookymeister]

Got in on the deal, barely.

Girl at register scanned all the sets and then just typed in -$15. I told her it was for all seasons and to scan it, but it didn't scan.

Then she called over a manager (oh crap) who said it was for 1 season. I pointed out the $75 limit. She said if it doesn't scan, we don't accept it. Then she asked if they were on sale (not looking good....).

Cashier suggested voiding and ringing it up again (Yay) so we did that and scanned the coupon right away. It worked. She scanned the rest of the seasons and hit Yes to the popup. Total was $28.

Here comes the kicker.
"See sir? It only took off $15 from one season."
"Yes, i see........That's ok, ill take them anyway"

Gave her a $10 RZ cert.
"Ok, total is $17"

The manager was standing behind her the whole time, but never said anything.
I got the last complete 1-6 seasons set too. Wooohooo

You need to purchase season 1 for the coupon to work.

Classic. :applause:

[ReaperZER0]

You know you get a good deal when the cashier is amazed. I got all 6 seasons. Was worried when she took it to her boss, but he just kinda glanced at it I guess, or didn't have a stick up his butt about the whole "cannot be combined with other offers" thing. It worked out in the end. Thanks so much for this.

[Scorch]

Mine just had regular season one, no more special editions with the coupon.. sigh

[argyle]

Awesome.

Shrike - you were right, my store had multiple copies of all 6 seasons even tho the website said they only had season 2. So definitely ignore what the website says & check for yourself!

Pooky - your story helped too. Cashier rang up the sets first, then tried to scan the coupon & when it wouldn't go just manually punched in $15 off. I corrected her politely, so she starts scrutinizing the coupon. I suggested she try scanning the coupon first, then the sets, and she just gives me "the look" and calls her supervisor over.

Her supervisor was VERY friendly, much more so than the cashier. I explained everything to her, including the "scan the coupon first" part, and she smiles and tells the cashier "why don't we try that?" You could tell the cashier was thrilled. :-P The supervisor cancels out the first transaction, then as the cashier is rescanning everything (coupon first) she steps away for a minute. It rings up correctly this time, and as I'm paying the supervisor comes back over and says "did it work?" The cashier just nods - the supervisor looks at the register and goes "Wow, it took $72 off!" The cashier then makes some snap about the supervisor initializing the reciept so "it won't come back to bite me." :lol:

So thanks again guys - all 6 season for $29.xx after tax, incredible deal!

[digitalbabe]

I just had success in Bridgewater, NJ store. They didn't have Seasons 2 and 6, but I got all the rest for $3.50(I had RZ Certs). The coupon language is VERY clear. This coupon does not say you can only buy 1 additional season. It states that you can use on any other seasons (2-6), up to $75 value.

When the coupon was typed in, it even asked the cashier, if they wanted to use it on all other items. IMHO, any staff that says it cannot be used is completely misinterpreting. I know BB stores are YMMV, as are many other retailers-but in this case it's crystal clear. Good Luck!

I might have to try this...

Edit: I did the store pick-up verification and NO STORE within 50 miles is registering the SE as being in stock. Odd. Not sure if it's that low or it's already been picked clean. :-/

[spudypresto]

Salem, NH is a go. Clerk was stunned, but didn't question it. Picked up all six seasons for $26.94 (no sales tax w00t). What a steal. Thanks, OP.

[ReaperZER0]

The little digital clock on mine is broke for some reason, that bites.

They can also check other stores to see if they have it in-stock as well.

[jp0213]

My store had peeled the stickers off.

[sleepydumbdude]

I got it to work at the Evansville IN store.

[FlamedLiquid]

Hmmmmmmmmmm..I already own seasons 1 thru 5. But getting seasons for $2..dang. I'm gonna pick up Season 6 anyways.might bite on getting another vopy of teh other 5 seasons for $10. Can always trade them in to FYE.

:)

[thebob101]

I was able to get Season 1 Tin ($16.99) and s3, s5 & s6 ($1.99 each). I had ordered s1 Tin and s3 online so they let me return the in-store pickup and then use the coupon for the other seasons. Very cool folks at BB.

[loserboy]

My store had peeled the stickers off.

My Best Buy and Circuit City BOTH had their stickers peeled off...

So, I'm going to peel one off at Target, go to BestBuy, buy the tin, use the coupon, buy the other seasons, and they can stick it up their asses!

[orion1998_1]

thanks op! i got 1 through 5, they were out of 6 for 27.XX otd. she rang them all up then i gave her the coupon, very easy, there should be NO trouble any where on this, anyone try pm anywhere? or are the coupons only at best buy?

[Wlogan31]

All my BB's were out of the SE Season 1. Boo :(

[jp0213]

I got it to work at the Evansville IN store.

Did you go today or yesterday? Because the shape of the boxsets looked like people done it yesterday and after they figured out what was going on they peeled the rest of the stickers off.

[Wlogan31]

any confirmation yet as to whether this works at other retailers (ala Target)?

[csidegamer]

Pulled from BestBuy.com. Dammit.
All seasons look to be sold out.
Coincidence, I think not.

Had my wife stop, and none on the shelves either.

[Pookymeister]

any confirmation yet as to whether this works at other retailers (ala Target)?

As its a manufacturer's coupon, I imagine it should. If Target had the others seasons just as cheap its probably worth a shot.

[CrimsonPaw]

It's $15 off ANY and EVERY season bought with season 1. I just got all six seasons half an hour ago, for $26.94 + tax TOTAL.

Edit: eh, beat me to it.
HOLY fuck that's a great deal. The only season I'm missing is 6, but considering I still haven't watched season 3 - 5 so I can pass at this time. I do love me some 24 though.

[Zackattack33]

They didn't have any coupons at my BB. I remembered reading here that there was a coupon but when I got there I didn't notice any.

I did notice a sign relating to the coupon however, and when I brought all 6 seasons up that was my main bargaining tool. After convincing them it worked online, a manager came and altered the price on all my dvds. Total = ~$26 for all 6 seasons. This deal rules.

On a side note, my friend and fellow CAGer tried hitting this deal up a couple hours after I did. He brought up the fact that I was able to walk away with all 6 for cheap and was wondering why they weren't allowing him to do it. They said "After your friend came and noticed the sign + the sale on 24 we removed the sign and aren't offering it in store any longer. You can try online if you want."

Such a hassle today, but completely worth it.

[Stealthcat]

Thanks OP

[alan90oblivion]

Unfortunately for me, there were only the regular edition of season one and about four or five copies of season six available. Oh well, guess I'll have to order online (two seasons for under $20 is still a great deal).

Edit: Nevermind, they're all sold out online too it seems. o:

[LinkinPrime]

Pulled from BestBuy.com. Dammit.

I got in at what seems the last minute this morning...tried to pass the deal off to a friend afterwards and it was dead. I got S1 and S5 for a total of $24.xx shipped :D

[Kerig]

wow, this is a really shady move on best buy's part. A manufacturer's coupon should have no direct influence on a sale price. I was almost tempted to buy S1&2 online, now I feel cheated. If this were a mail-in rebate instead of an instant coupon, there'd be no problems with obtaining a copy or hoarders.

[TracerX]

Saw this deal on SD, got one set yesterday and then went back this afternoon and picked up another set for a friend. Managed to get the same cashier and she just said "Decided to come back for some more?" She read the coupon pretty carefully the first time but saw no issues and just rang it all up this time. I haven't watched 24 since S1 so this is a great deal to get back into watching! Just wanted to let people know that this is still alive if you can find the S1 SE box with a coupon!

[chakan]

I had to put my Black DEVIL may cry tshirt and green CAG armband on for this one. (+5 Luck, +2 Stealth)

I saw something very interesting as I went into the DVD section. An employee had a rolling cart with all the SE Season 1 24 DVD sets on it, and he was methodically peeling the coupon stickers off the front, putting the sets back on the shelf, and placing the stickers on the edge of the cart.

Thinking quickly, I said hi, and asked where hard-drives were. As he turned around to point at the section, I quickly palmed two stickers. I ran into a little problem at the register because the clerk couldn't believe the price, but when she called the manager over, she kind of grimaced at me and said to process the sale. Pretty sure I was outed as a "devil customer"



Extra coupon mailed to bigt7117

Anyway, if anyone needs a coupon, I have a spare I could get out in tomorrow's mail that might reach you before the sale is over. According to someone at SD, BB restocks Wednesday night/Thursday morning, so don't give up just because they're out of stock now.

PM me if you need that coupon!


pm sent.......

[chakan]

...replied....


bigt7117 got it.

I would buy that shirt, Kerig!

[Geohound Omega]

Wow at getting multple seasons for 1.99. Awesome haul for those who got that.

I ordered S1 SE and S6 online yesterday, and picked them up at a local store today. Can't complain getting both for $20 total, great deal imo.

[addicted2games]

I got all the seasons except for number 4 for $26.45! What a steal! THANK YOU OP AND CAG!!!!

[Burchamj]

how much does gamestop give for these? as i have 1 - 5 and only need six, but dang.. 1.99 each,,,

[Pookymeister]

Big FYI -

Dupes count.
Mine didn't have a Season 2, so i picked up a 2nd copy of Season 3 and it still worked.
So, if you can't complete the set - might as well buy dupes and try to trade for one you need or maybe exchange later.

[FlamedLiquid]

My local Best Buy was pretty much picked clean. had one season 1 tin left, 1 season 1 regular box, and like 4 of Season 3 or 4.

But...for those that don't mind shopping elsewhere, my local Wal-Mart had al the seasons except Season 1 fully stocked. I only wanted Season 6 anyways, but like I said earlier....would have bit on $1.99 tv sets to flip elsewhere.

[swetooth9]

my bb didn't have any season 1 SE's left :( they were full of the other ones though :(

oh yea, 1 quick question...will this work if you don't buy the SE of season 1? like if i went to target, got season 1 there, and took the sticker/coupon to best buy to get the rest of the seasons?

or does the computer only give you the deal if you buy season 1 SE at best buy along with the other ones?

[roguejedi5]

If i only saw this on sunday morning when i went, i would of picked all of them up. Hopefully they will get some more before this sale ends.

[shadowkast]

just got 1 though 5, didn't even think about picking up a duplicate to trade in somewhere, I was too hyped/anxious to see if i would get any trouble...the chick literally read the coupon 4 times front and back before she would scan it though

[Kerig]

If i only saw this on sunday morning when i went, i would of picked all of them up. Hopefully they will get some more before this sale ends.

From the sounds of the way BB is handling this, there will be new stock midweek, but there won't be a single coupon sticker to be found nationwide.

Best idea so far was Loserboy's to visit another retailer (Wal-mart, Target, or FYE) and snag a coupon off of one of their S1 tins to use at BB when they restock sans stickers.

DO YOU NEED TO BUY S1 FOR THE COUPON TO WORK WITH THE OTHER SEASONS?:
Yes, I think someone here said they all have to be purchased at the same time.

alrighty then...i guess i'll just have to snag a coupon from elsewhere and hope BB restocks the season 1 special edition sometime soon

Is the coupon just attached to the outside of the silver S1 tin? Checked a couple local Targets and CC's but didn't find any coupons (or even sticker "residue" that would show it once had a coupon.)

[swetooth9]

it's supposed to be....

hmm...anyone able to find the 24 special edition tin with the sticker on it other than at best buy?

anyone try walmart or some other retailers?

[Deadpool]

Same here, and my BB has a TON of all seasons available... bah!

[loserboy]

Actually saw a coupon at an FYE and didn't think to snag it at the time, was hoping to get this deal "honestly"...but when Best Buy, etc, start pulling manufacturer's coupons off of products...well, then it's time to get all CAG on their ass!

[Stealthcat]

Is the coupon just attached to the outside of the silver S1 tin? Checked a couple local Targets and CC's but didn't find any coupons (or even sticker "residue" that would show it once had a coupon.)

Its in the lower left hand corner. There is a layer left behind when you pull off the coupon. Then there is residue if you pull off that last layer. Sounds like the other retailers may not have the coupon?

EDIT: The coupon is black with red trim. Stands out on the tin.

[Magic24]

my bestbuy had all the seasons buy no sticker on the first season. one box had a sticker but looked like it was taken off. went to other stores but no sticker. has anyone ordered from amazon and have it come with a sticker ??

so the ones at FYE have the sticker?

[slidecage]

in fort wayne all they had was season 4 and 6 (only 1 season 4 left and 9 season 6s)

worker told me they were told to NOT RESTOCK UNTIL SUNDAY. They pulled all of them and put them all in the back.

I might go back over thursday and check. Then again i could always rip of the sticker and return season 1 and try to get

Prison break season 2 and 24 season 6 for less then 20 : )


24 season 1 Rang up 17.99
Prison break season 2 17.99
24 season 6 1.99



EDIT IF THEY DONT BRING BACK Season 1 i uess the coupon wont work cause it says you need to buy Season 1 SE.... shocked they jsut didnt pull all of them and left the sticker alone

[ProtoEXE88]

Definitely hitting up a Best Buy tomorrow for this, awesome.

[SpoDaddy]

Since I'm currently on vacation, unable to get to Best Buy, I was thinking of doing the deal online. Which of the seasons would you recommend me to get? I already own season 1 and 2, so 3 would be the logical answer, but I was wondering what opinions everyone else had.

Also, is it worth upgrading from the old sets to the newer thinpaks?

Every season except 6 is great. If you like 24 you should probably just skip Season 6.

[MrBadExample]

No love at the Winston-Salem, NC store. Season 1 did not have the coupon although the display card on the rack had the deal. S1 rang up as $49.95 and then $16.95 for all the other seasons. I tried explaining the deal to the clerk but no luck.

[SonictheHedgehog1337]

Every season except 6 is great. If you like 24 you should probably just skip Season 6.

Dont skip it. You might need to know some shyte for season 7. But don't expect season 6 to be as good as any of the other seasons.:drool:

[SpoDaddy]

Dont skip it. You might need to know some shyte for season 7.

It's not worth the pain and monotony. For those of you that want to get caught up on season 6 without having to watch it: Jack has an evil brother and father that we never knew about, they die. Audrey was caught snooping around for Jack by the Chinese and they captured her. Jack got her back but now she's nuts. LA got nuked (the first four episodes were actually great, but after the nuke hits in episode 4 there's no reason to keep watching). CTU still sucks without Mason or Chapelle.

[shrike4242]

I went to go pick up my in-store pickup order of 24 S1 SE and 24 S6 and found that they screwed up the order. :-s

They pulled S1 instead of S1 SE. Normally, this would be a bad thing, as they didn't have any more S1 SE's on the floor, though the CS rep did find another one at another store. They're doing an inter-store transfer on it, and it should be there Thursday morning. Best part is that since they screwed up the pull of the items, I get my $10 off the order. :D So, I'll end up with S1 SE and S6 for $6.99 + $1.99 + tax. :D

[Foo228]

So, I went to pick up all the seasons...but S1 was mia (of course, it's the one that is needed!) at BB

Go to CC, they have all 6 but no coupon on S1 Special Edition...same goes for Target

[62t]

No love at the Winston-Salem, NC store. Season 1 did not have the coupon although the display card on the rack had the deal. S1 rang up as $49.95 and then $16.95 for all the other seasons. I tried explaining the deal to the clerk but no luck.

you need special edition of season 1

[hopeunknown]

i wonder how much these trade in at fye or newbury comics. we already have 1-4 i think. it'd be nice to grab the two we're missing and make profit in credit on the others...

secondspin.com quotes for trade in:

season 1 (2008 or 2007 packaging - 15
season 2 (2007 packaging) - 6
season 2 (2003 packaging) - 12.50
season 3 (2004) - 17.50
season 3 (2007) - 15
season 4 (2005) - 17.50
season 5 (2006) - 6
season 6 (2007) - 15

interesting...

[twen]

Wait, what's the difference between the 2007 and 2008 packaging for Season 1? I know it was reissued last year to be in the slim cases, but they reissued it again this year? For what?

[hopeunknown]

the special edition with the lcd clock on the front is the newest packaging, i believe (the one with the coupon)

i'm tempted to go by later this week and trade them to fye so i can get mad men season 1 and maybe californication s1. hmm...

[cagfansub]

Everyone!

I think you all better check your Season 1 discs. The tin box looks nice but the cardboard package that holds the discs is REALLY bad!!

3 out of 7 discs were scratched and 1 of them skips! DAMN!!! :bomb:

I can't exchange it until BB get new stock of season 1.

[smashingradioheads]

I was able to find success yesterday at the last out of three BBs I went to. It was a BB in yorba linda, ca and luckily enough they had at least one of each season. The coupon scanned fine, and the cashier commented on the badassness of the deal.

[ineedstuffhelp]

does anyone know when the sale at best buy ends i mean the 16.99 a season deal

[Lucky13]

Went to Bestbuy and asked a kid I used to work with there where all the coupons went. He said employees took them when they were almost sold out and a few of them even stashed seasons for themselves in the back. He was pissed because it was the first day he was working this week and he was waiting for when he got off work for the night to buy them.

[Kerig]

He said employees took them when they were almost sold out and a few of them even stashed seasons for themselves in the back.

That's what's commonly referred to as "Employee Benefits".

ineedstuffhelp: The regular $16.99 sale price is part of the weekly ad, should be good until Saturday night. Due to all these newfound shenanigans, if you only want to partake of the nice sale price try to get a raincheck for the seasons you want.

[hobomatt]

i went to CC to price match but the SE tin did not have the coupon on it, so i took a stroll down to Borders and ripped the coupon off the SE tin sitting on the shelf, went back to CC and got the price match and used the coupon...the look on that cashiers face was priceless and she gave me the coupon back

[MrNEWZ]

Update: Fail. No special edition Season 1 at my store.

We checked the computer, 2 in stock but "magically" they were not to be found. Shocking.

[thenyrfan]

At the Chesapeake BB I got all 6 seasons for 26 then walked next door to the movie stop that I worked at and traded them in for 90. With my discount I was able to buy 120 worth of stuff for the 26 that I spent.


BTW Im kinda new here and was wondering what YMMV meant, anyone...

Shoot, every BB in a 50 mile radius is sold out of Season 1 SE.

[greydemise]

i gotta head out near a few best buys, so ill give it a shot for the hell of it :)

[digitalbabe]

Mr Bad example-same thing happened me-only Season 1 in Metal box is part of the sale. The regular Season 1, will ring up as $49.95.

[Rihan]

Anyone that is having problems finding them, look in the "normal" tv dvd section. I found all 4 copies at my store there, instead of with the Fox dvds. However, coupon isn't working in Fargo. Wouldn't apply the discount and the bitch of a manager was a complete duche about it.

[el presidente]

My BB was bare, but I was able to snag a coupon at Borders. I'm going to try to go to CC to PM and use the coupon. Wish me luck.

[sleepydumbdude]

Did you go today or yesterday? Because the shape of the boxsets looked like people done it yesterday and after they figured out what was going on they peeled the rest of the stickers off.

10 am on the 30th.

[Needles-Kane]

My wife got all 6 for $27+Tax:bouncy: Thanks OP!!!!! I've never watched 24 before but it looks interesting and for the price and amount of hours included- this can't be beat!!!!!!!!

Was thinking of getting another set to eBay but that feels dirty and others would miss out on the deal.

[MorPhiend]

I tried yesterday. They had all seasons (including the 1st), but no SE of S1. :(

[Geohound Omega]

Was thinking of getting another set to eBay but that feels dirty and others would miss out on the deal.
Good form.

Hopefully you enjoy the DVD sets, it's a fun show.

[Chucki Norris]

No go here. Cashier tried scanning box sets first then coupon. I asked her to scan the coupon first then the sets. Instead she calls the supervisor over and I knew I was going to have problems because this is the same supervisor that at one time said I couldn't use an emailed Rewardzone certificate. Anyways, he just said to take $15 off, to which I told him it should be off each additional set to $75. I asked him to try to void the transaction and start over with scanning the coupon first. He seemed reluctant to do so, but he did. However, after scanning the coupon then the box sets, the total was still at $109.xx with no sign of any money taken off. He said he could give me the discount off one but "I'm not gonna give you a discount on each." I'm pretty sure he scanned the secondary barcode on the coupon and not the main one. I was pretty irritated at this point so I just told him that I was gonna forego the purchase. However, I did get the coupon back from him and will try my luck at the other stores in the area. Congrats to the CAGs who got it and good luck to the rest of us.

By the way, is there any specific order for the box sets to be scanned? It would be nice to know some info before I journey out again later this week.

[metallicoholic]

Quick question: How accurate are those in-store trackers on BB.com? According to the website, there isn't a BB around me that has the special edition in stock, but I'm thinking of trying my luck anyhow.

I love you TC, thank you for pointing this out and making this an awesome way to spend $28.

And I just opened up the copy of Season 1 and everything's in tact, so no problems there.

And it took me a good 20 minutes for them to check everything over, call over the MOD, and finally say they had to do it. Awesome :D

And I got the last copy of the S1 SE, and they mentioned it there too, so they wouldn't have to do this again or whatever, hah.

[Indiana Jones]

All these differing stories are odd. At my BB, the cashier scanned all the box sets, scanned the coupon, a popup screen appeared and he accepted the coupon, $75 off no problem.

[ProtoEXE88]

Well he looked over the coupon thing, and took $15 off one of the sets, I pointed everything out to him, and finally had to walk him over to the Fox DVD display where it said on one of the yellow tabs, "Buy 24 SE S1 and get $15 off each additional season."

It all worked out in the end, so I'm happy.

[TracerX]

Both sets I got were all dvd's scanned first then cashier scanned coupon. A screen popped up, she clicked yes, and the discount appeared. The first time there was an issue with the coupon not scanning but it seemed she was having trouble with the two barcodes. Once she covered one of the barcodes everything worked fine.

[mike.m]

I might've gotten the last S1 SE, and I didn't see a coupon, but there was a tag on the shelf that showed:

Buy Season 1 and get $15 off ANY season.

I grabbed them up took them to the register. They all scanned at $16.99. I mentioned to the cashier the 'deal' and she called someone to check. Needless to say, it took about 15 minutes but they finally ok'd it and had someone do a price override.

The cashier was nice and everything was fine. Now I got some 24 to watch.

[argyle]

By the way, is there any specific order for the box sets to be scanned? It would be nice to know some info before I journey out again later this week.

Nope - as long as the coupon is scanned first, they can scan the sets in any order. I know, because the girl scanned mine in no order whatsoever (and she didn't scan season 1 first) and it still worked.

[ZeroCoin]

Great deal. I picked up the complete series. Cashier scanned all the dvds first, then the coupon. No problems at all.

[RLeav20717]

Ok, so it took me about an hour and a 1/2 and 6 stores, but i managed to snag

24 S1-6 for 28.89 after tax.

Thanks OP

Also a note, i needed a manager override for each season (2-6), and this deal is very ymmv, as best buy has started taking off the stickers AND the i inch banners on the shelves labeling the 15.00 off

[MrBadExample]

Why didn't season one ring up on sale? Couldn't you have shown the weekly ad? And did you try to get the coupon deal without the coupon? That seems rather silly.

They didn't have any copies of S1 in the tin so I never saw the physical coupon. There was a card on the shelf that said when you buy S1 you get $15 off each additional season so I thought I was okay without the coupon. When I told her this, she said they were already on sale so it didn't count. She did notice that S1 was ringing up incorrectly for the full price and she did fix that.

[swetooth9]

anyone try pming the deal at other places along with getting the coupon to work?

[Sartugha]

Thanks for the heads up, the wife and I were able to take advantage of this.

Was worried that I would have to explain things to the cashier, but the guy had had someone do the deal the day before, so when some slight difficulty appeared (the coupon didn't seem to take any money off anything), I had his backing with the manager that it was the way the deal was supposed to work.

The manager quickly did a 1.99 price override on all the seasons but season 1.

[Gamer3823]

Anyone know when or if they are going to restock, went to three BB's with no luck.

[swetooth9]

Anyone know when or if they are going to restock, went to three BB's with no luck.

i called 2 of my BB's and they said they weren't going to get any shipments in anytime soon (within this week)

anyone have luck PMing the deal + using the coupon?

[It'sMagneto]

So does this coupon only work if scanned first? Anyone have it work being scanned after?

[outphase]

I went to both Mission Valley and Chula Vista locations in San Diego. The coupon scanned, but it had no effect. The coupon is now time-delayed until July 6. The CV manager showed me a copy of this email. However, CV still had "Save $15 on each additional season (2-6) of 24 when you buy 24 (Season 1)" on the shelf. After calling 1.888.BESTBUY and being on hold for an eternity, the CSR spoke to the manager and said to let me have it w/o coupon. The MV location did not have the "Save $15" banner.

I attempted to use the scan from page 29, and it scanned properly, but the system didn't give me the discount.

I think this deal is dying, though http://i.slickdeals.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[Friend of Sonic]

Why the hell does Best Buy care? They get reimbursed all the same, don't they? Shady Best Buy. They knew there was a coupon on season 1 before they started this sale.

Tried to get the deal at the Tigard, OR store, but there was no Season 1 SE at all. However, they still had a sign that said the deal. Even though I quoted the sign, they still wouldn't sell me the regular Season 1 for $16.99 and 2-6 for $1.99. I didn't really put up much of an effort to get them to let me have it for the right price. Instead, I just let them put the DVDs back themselves. I did start a discussion because my cashier had to ask others and about 5 employees were in a circle discussing it infront of the 24 DVDs. Oh well.

[Indiana Jones]

So does this coupon only work if scanned first? Anyone have it work being scanned after?

I had my coupon scanned at the end. I really don't see how this can cause such a mess. Outside of stupid cashiers or shady managers, shouldn't all Best Buys work the same from a technical aspect?

[Jawsfan07]

I'm not sure if the coupon is dead, but I went to my BB yesterday evening (where they had a S1SE on hold for me). The coupon had been taken off the box (I had asked on the phone to verify that the coupon was still attached). When I asked about it I was told that a 'flash' or something was sent out to all BBs telling the stores NOT to accept the coupon. I also saw the message stuck on the wall in the CS area. I'm not sure if its a computer change or not, so at this point YMMV....

[zman73]

I dont understand why BB would care about this coupon... this is not like it is one of their own (like the $10 off coupon floating around last year) It is one where they would be reimbursed...

Oh well... All I would have wanted to keep from it was S6 and the new S1

[chimpster1313]

got it yesterday at the wooster, oh best buy. had all the seasons (although they only had 1 more season 2 after the one i took). total came out to $28 something with tax. the girl at the counter was like 'this is pretty much the best deal ever'.

smart cookie.

[Chucki Norris]

I went to both Mission Valley and Chula Vista locations in San Diego. The coupon scanned, but it had no effect. The coupon is now time-delayed until July 6. The CV manager showed me a copy of this email. However, CV still had "Save $15 on each additional season (2-6) of 24 when you buy 24 (Season 1)" on the shelf. After calling 1.888.BESTBUY and being on hold for an eternity, the CSR spoke to the manager and said to let me have it w/o coupon. The MV location did not have the "Save $15" banner.

I attempted to use the scan from page 29, and it scanned properly, but the system didn't give me the discount.

I think this deal is dying, though http://i.slickdeals.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

This is probably why it was a no go for me. They scanned the coupon, went through with the transaction, but nothing was taken off. I didn't see any of the banners either. Like others have said, Best Buy is getting compensated for the coupons, I wish they would just take them.

[jmillion]

i need to go to my best buy and check this out ASAP. probably gone now tho. =(

[el presidente]

CC price matched no problem, but the would not accept the coupon. Apparently CC doesn't accept manufacturers coupons. I couldn't get a really good explanation as to why the do not.

At this point the deal is dead to me. I'm just pissed at the fleabayers who snatched up multiple sets. I just wanted one set to WATCH, I wasn't trying to make an easy buck. Oh well.

I hate going to that Best Buy.

[kevzik]

Man. Everything is gone for me except season 6....Will be trying a PM at CC sometime.

Are you guys buying the SE and using the coupon on the rest in one transaction or are you guys buying the SE in a single transaction and then buying the rest with the coupon in other transaction. Basically, is there a right way to do it or does it work both ways?

[mike.m]

As stated in my post on the previous page, I didn't even have the coupon. Someone had to do an override for me.

[jmillion]

went to my best buy today. didnt even see a season 1 SE. i think they took em off the shelves. and i seen them say they stopped the use of the coupon till after the july 5th. which is the last day of the sale. guess i misssed out

[chimpster1313]

man, i'm pumped i got in on this before it died. sorry to all those who missed out, though. best buy is notorious for being douchy, i have learned from all these threads, haha.

[mrjelloman]

Went to 3 Best Buys, plenty of other seasons, only 1 S1 SE with no coupon. I've been buying the seasons anyways, so it wasn't a big deal (needed S6 though), but I was wanting to change the collection to ThinPaks, as my S1-4 are that old cardboard foldout style, as is my X-Files.

For those who scored, grats. It is an awesome series. Season 7 can't come soon enough!

[jmillion]

wish i jumped on this sooner. should of known BB would pull it. this would of got me watching the seasons right away too. oh well guess its time to wait for the next deal. oh yea i went to another BB and they didnt have any 24s @ all. lol

[Veronica Mars]

I noticed the stores have been pulling them off the shelves.

[BuggyG]

got in on it last sunday, 28 and change out the door!

[gumpy5]

My Best Buy had a 'correction notice' flyer taped next to the 24 sets that said they've disabled the coupon from the system and will reactivate it on the 6th.

[shrike4242]

My Best Buy had a 'correction notice' flyer taped next to the 24 sets that said they've disabled the coupon from the system and will reactivate it on the 6th.When it's back up from $16.99 per set. :roll:

Thank you BB. :roll:

[Indiana Jones]

So in a nutshell, Best Buy has no problems getting $16.99 each for seasons 2-6. But they want the customer to fork over the full $16.99. They don't want the customer to only pay $1.99 while getting $15 from Fox.

[Stealthcat]

I love it when they mess up and some of us CAGs cash in on it.

[UncleBob]

I wonder if the $16.99 Fox Promo was something Best Buy was doing with FOX, where FOX would reimburse Best Buy some of the difference. When FOX found out that Best Buy was combining the $15 coupon with the promo, they got Best Buy on the horn and told them to stop it? Just a guess?

I think you hit it right on the head...there's a reason that it is all FOX dvds that are on sale, there is also a reason that the discount is already =/> the $15.00 coupon. I don't think that coupon has appeared on recent shipments of the C.E. of season 1....my guess is they just didn't think this through all the way and never thought there'd be enough coupons floating out there to make a difference...Whoops, guess they don't read CAG.

Have a great 4th!

[shrike4242]

I went to BB yesterday to pick up some DVD's and found the notice about the coupon. Says it's good from 07/06 to 07/20.

[jmillion]

did this coupon just work for 24 seasons or any Fox DVDs? i never actually got to see the coupon and just curious if any1 tried.

[chimpster1313]

Just for 24 seasons 2-6.

[oasisboy]

Why can't there be a coupon like this for Family Guy or American Dad or Futurama :cry:

I love these shows but not to the point where I want to spend $100 to get all seasons.

[shrike4242]

I love these shows but not to the point where I want to spend $100 to get all seasons.There was one, last September, if I remember right. Took $10 off any Fox DVD set, and some people used it to go nuts and pick up entire series on the cheap. Especially when some of the series, like Simpsons and X-Files, dropped to $19.99 when the coupon was still usable.

[RLeav20717]

i wish you people would let me know when you delete my posts, i go crazy when i know i posted somewhere and it vanishes :-\

[shrike4242]

[cag1138]

Price matched at local meijer got all 6 seasons $34. They only had one copy each of 2-6 and 2 copies of special edition 1. So, you guys could try this I just approached the manager before I got in line and showed him everything and he said sure and told me to go in the closest line so he could approve it. Sometimes I find if you tell them before hand while they aren't busy it's not such a surprise to them and they are more likely to see that it a legit price match plus coupon instead of dismissing it.

[swetooth9]

lulz :D

[RLeav20717]

lulz :D


:booty:

[Hyperlancer]

Thanks to you guys at CAG, I snagged this deal last Tuesday... well most of it. The manager was pretty stupid and did a lot of screwy things, and I ended up having to pay $16.99 for another season. Somehow the discount was at $67 or so after applying it 4 of them, and since it was a $75 value, she couldn't apply it to the last one. Really messed up. I tried to fight it but she wouldn't budge. Still being an amazing deal I swallowed my pride and paid $44 for all 6 seasons. I definitely appreciate it a lot more now since I just read here that they took away the deal. It makes me feel like I conquered BB, which is slowly becoming a money-grubbing hell hole in my eyes.

[Veronica Mars]

which has always been a money-grubbing hell hole


fixed.

[neworlbush25]

Just a question.
If I went tomorrow is there any way I can get in on this deal?
I am missing seasons 2,3, and 6.
Thanks in advance for any help

No. If you go today, you can get them for $16.99/each. Tomorrow, the $15 coupon becomes effective, but I am assuming the prices will rise back to retail of $49.99.

[neworlbush25]

Ok.
Thanks for the help

[Veronica Mars]

No one has anymore season 4 :/

[voyagerbob]

Alright this was an insane deal. I went to Meijer tonight to try to get my father a set of the first four seasons. They had the season 1 tin with coupon on it. I had about $400 total in my purchase tonight. I took in my BestBuy ad and they matched the $16.99 price. Then they took off the $15 per season coupon (in looking at my receipt they took it off for season one as well for whatever reason). Apparently they have an instore coupon for $3 off each item over $15 that they scanned at the register (it took the price off about 10-15 different items in total) and it came off each of the sets of 24 that I only paid $1.99 for. So just do the math. It was an insane deal that I didn't even realize I had till I got home.

That is just crazy.

[vanlandw]

Great deal for people who don't have all the seasons. This week I bought Season 6 to round out my collection.....passed on the tin after buying some PS3 games this week did a pass.

[UncleBob]

I got my sets in the mail - and my Season 1 set still has the $15 coupon attached - meaning BestBuy won't be sending it in for redemption from FOX.

This goes well with the theory that FOX was discounting the DVD sets and simply told BB they wouldn't honor BB's stacking of the offers.
