Toys R Us 10/6 - 10/10 Snow White $19.99 ($9.99 after coupon)

[prim4444]

Both versions on sale

Blu-ray/DVD combo 235794
DVD/Blu-ray combo 235799

Ad also mentions a $10 online coupon offer for 4 days only.
(10/6-10/9 Go to www.snowwhiteoffer.com (http://www.snowwhiteoffer.com))
I don't know if this will be the same type of coupon that is already available right now.

Site is coming up now as page not found, maybe will work only during the 4 days next week??
Edit: Looks like site is up and running now.

Also, if you pre-order your copy of Snow White in store before release, you will get a $5.00 gift card when you pick up your movie.

[Masterkyo]

Wow, end up get Snow White for $5. instead $15. Good bye Amazon & Bestbuy :)

[shrike4242]

Well, that certainly screws things up. :wall:

[gojiboy]

i tried printing the coupon but they have this program i'm not familiar with to download the coupon, and i tried it numerous times to no avail. i switched printers to see if it would work on another printer, but now it says i downloaded it the maximum number of times... but i don't have the freakin coupon :'(

[ajh2298]

Well, that certainly screws things up. :wall:

I hear that, I think I am returning the steelbook from Best Buy and just going with this.

[Sad Turtle]

this price is for the bluray?

[Greenboom98]

I hear that, I think I am returning the steelbook from Best Buy and just going with this.

I was thinking to do that... but might just keep the steelbook. Still good price for it....

[iluvmywife]

Ok, so the ad from 10/4 to 10/10 shows a BD version price at $19.99?

Their website shows $29.99.

Just want to make sure I understand so that I don't cancel my amazon preorder.

same here!!

[Burchamj]

So, ive installed the nonsense several times.. and nothing ever prints???

[JokerCard]

Thanks for that! Might have to go and price match at bestbuys or not even go! I really liked that steelbook so I might just keep it for the $7.50 and just pre-order now at TRU for the extra $5.

[SakBee]

damn good price!

Thanks very much op!!!!

[manthing]

:bomb:

I already opened my BB steelbook

:wall:

[neoz]

Can't you just cancel the pre order and keep the steel book? Even though that's like really wrong the steel book is really nice. I mean were all looking for the cheapest price here and if TRU's got it cheaper I'm going there.

Yeah I looked at the price on the TRU site and it says $29.99 for both versions.

Man I preordered the dang movie and BB and opened my SB already too. How much was it at BB again for the BR?

[NJMane]

hmmm....I already have it preordered at amazon for $14.99 and REALLY hate TRU after all the other bullshit but if I can get a $5 gc and the blu-ray for $10 I might have to bite. I will need to see an ad scan before I cancel my preordered though....god I hate TRU though.

[CombatCraig]

Well my TRU is shut down after a tornado so I would price match this at BB and use the coupon but they've never let me PM AND use a coupon. They always say one or the other :(

[Snake2715]

Whats the diamond edition blu ray?

i assume thats not the standard blu ray...

We sure this deal works?

[chrisflyer]

I'm horribly confused by these two products. Best I can tell, it looks like the same product (Movie on blu-ray and DVD, and a blu-ray disc of extras), just packaged differently. One in a blu-ray sized case, one in a DVD size?

[ryosnk]

Thanks for that! Might have to go and price match at bestbuys or not even go! I really liked that steelbook so I might just keep it for the $7.50 and just pre-order now at TRU for the extra $5.

That's what I was thinking of doing. But i'm not sure if best buy would price match and then use the $10 off coupon.

Thank op on the info.

[shrike4242]

I think the back of the steelbook says what happens if you don't pick up your pre-order in the 10/06/09 - 10/20/09 timeframe. I'm going to check mine and see what the issue is. As long as you can return the pre-order and not have to pony up the money for the steelbook's "value" then I think I might preorder and pick it up at TRU for $5 net after the GC.

I'm horribly confused by these two products. Best I can tell, it looks like the same product (Movie on blu-ray and DVD, and a blu-ray disc of extras), just packaged differently. One in a blu-ray sized case, one in a DVD size?That's correct, yes.

They both have the same discs inside, just one is a BR case and one is a DVD case.

[rapsodist]

So, ive installed the nonsense several times.. and nothing ever prints???

Which browser are you using? I noticed that the coupon refuses to work with Chrome. It was fine with Firefox though.

[CombatCraig]

My BB usually lets me get away with a lot of stuff but that is one thing they've never let me do (and i've tried many times). They always say one or the other PM or coupon.

[Sad Turtle]

so this is definitely the blu ray version for $19.99 with a $5 gc right? I just want to know so i can preorder it tomorrow

[Greenboom98]

How much is the regular DVD version? Still buying the BD edition but wondering because I know someone who want to get the DVD version as they don't have a BD player.

[Sad Turtle]

How much is the regular DVD version? Still buying the BD edition but wondering because I know someone who want to get the DVD version as they don't have a BD player.

technically they can buy the blu ray version since it comes with both the blu ray and dvd version in the same package and the way its looking is you can get the blu ray one for $9.99 and get a $5 gc

[JokerCard]

The regular 2 disc dvd version will come out next month.

This edition is for the 2 disc blu-ray + 1 DVD of the movie.

[jd302426]

Walmart will also have it for 20.

[JokerCard]

But if pre-ordered from TRU, you get an extra $5 giftcard :D

Going to pre-order 2 from TRU

[Gden]

GAH, screw you Disney and Toys R Us actually making me buy my first Blu ray disc even though I don't have a blu ray player. And just making sure, the dvd part is the actual movie, right? I'm not going to take this home and find out the dvd copy is something stupid like extras. The coupon page says good on the blur and dvd combo pack, but the coupon says when you buy it on dvd or bluray. I'm going to have to talk to the wife and see what she wants to do.

[hero101]

I'm going to follow the seal and pre-order this. I hate my uncontrollable buying habits. I'm making that bald white person richer.

[JokerCard]

Pre-ordered one of each today, one blu-ray case and one DVD case. Friend wanted a copy as well so she will get the DVD case.

[shrike4242]

Pre-ordered a copy at TRU. $10 AC + $5 GC seems pretty good to me.

From what I read off the back of the BB steelbook cover, if you don't pick up the pre-order by the 25th (I think it was the 25th), you can refund the pre-order. What I don't know is if they'll want the pre-order steelbook back or not.

[darkdaze73]

Never done a pre-order with Toys R Us. When do you get the $5 GC, when you PO or when you pick it up?

[pogipinoy27]

Never done a pre-order with Toys R Us. When do you get the $5 GC, when you PO or when you pick it up?

I believe it's when you pick it up. It's quoted in the OP:


Also, if you pre-order your copy of Snow White in store before release, you will get a $5.00 gift card when you pick up your movie.


Is anyone having trouble printing the coupon? I'm getting a "this campaign no longer in force" bs. WTF?:bomb:

[Animal7390]

when you pick it up, you get the $5 dollar giftcard

[ajh2298]

Do you think I will still be able to put a $5.00 pre-order down on this if I go out on Saturday?

[Animal7390]

I believe it's when you pick it up. It's quoted in the OP:

that is bizarre, i printed it last night. probably will become live again on the specified dates.

[iluvmywife]

Do you think I will still be able to put a $5.00 pre-order down on this if I go out on Saturday?

I preordered a copy on Thursday and while standing in line I was reading the preorder slip. It states that you must preorder by October 5th. That makes me assume that you can preorder all the way up till Monday night.

[Animal7390]

you can preorder up until the day before. so yes, saturday is fine

[markoslav]

The website shows it is 29.99 for each of the dvd/blu combos. Is it 19.99 only in store?

[mlisette23]

I'm going to try the price match and coupon on Best Buy; I figure if the TRU ad mentions the coupon maybe I can convince them to do both.

Why would you return it in the first place? It's basically $7.50 for the steelbook case and whatever you're paying for the BR. In this case, $10 out the door AC with a $5GC. So net $17.50 plus tax gets you the BR, steelbook case and $5GC.

What is BB going to do if you don't pick up your PO? They don't have any means to collect and who cares if they cancel it? Am I missing something?

Am I missing something?I posted about this in the BB pre-order steelbook thread, that if they don't take it back, that's what I'll end up with. It's unclear about it needing to be returned with the pre-order return, so that why I'm unsure of what they'll do if I try to cancel out the pre-order.

I'll have to wait to the 25th and find out.

[blk00civicsi]

FYI - If you got in on the Amazon deal and haven't canceled, My order is in Shipping Soon status already so now I'm stuck with this one. Gas and Tax to TRU offsets the $5 savings.

[biglew]

Is it confirmed that TRU will be selling this for $19.99? Thanks.

[Animal7390]

it is as confirmed as it could be 2 days early

[stone1061]

Looked at the ad earlier today and it has preorder promo for UP!
Pre order and get $5 off any Disney DVD/Blu Ray.
Going to preorder UP!, use the $5 off from that to bring Snow White down to $4.99 after coupon, and get $5 gift card.

[fizzywix]

do you have to go in store to preorder? can you do it online to pickup or over the phone?

[Animal7390]

if you preorder your cost will be less than that.

[ryoga79]

just printed out the coupon, and will definitely pick this up if it's the $20 like the ad says. If TRU opened up earlier (I work 3rd shift), I'd preorder and get the $5 giftcard.

[jdawgg76]

Picked up the early sunday edition and checked out the TRU ad, sure enough the ad clearly states the sale price will be 19.99 and points out the online coupon which will make it 9.99 final price also clearly stated. Stopped by TRU on my way to work to drop a preorder. Thanks again primm! Primm is the man and uber-reliable, but this deal really seemed to be too good to be true so I had to see it for myself. Thanks again OP!

[Reira]

Pre-ordered at TRU, thanks OP! I thought about preordering at BB for the steelbook, but with my luck, they would refuse for some reason or another. What a great deal for a Disney Blu-Ray!

[gameboykid14]

So what do you do if when you click the link and it says, "Sorry! You have already printed this coupon the number of times allowed."? My first two prints didn't come out correctly.

[ajh2298]

It seems if you pre-order "Up" the $5.00 off another DVD/Blu-ray promo must be on the same receipt as the "Up" pre-order itself. So it seem the best way to combine both the "Snow White" promo and the "Up" promo is to pre-order "Up" in the same transaction as paying off your balance for "Snow White".

p.s.
In the ad it shows the price of the "Up" Blu-ray as $34.99 wont it be a lower price on its week of release?

[Animal7390]

find another computer, or try requesting a mailed copy, but it probably wont show up in time. there is really no way of getting it to print from the same computer again without reformatting.

[gunm]

I canceled my amazon pre-order and will try to pick it up from TRU.

[geosooner]

awesomeness.

[wormraper]

now here's to hoping Wal-mart releases it early :D

How does TRU handle canceling preorders? i.e. if Up is really $35, I won't buy it. Seems to make sense to preorder the UP anyway when picking up the Snow White as the $5 for preorder - $5 for buying both nets $0, so not losing anything.

[Animal7390]

canceling pre orders is jsut like any other store, just state you want to cancel. and they will refund your $5. i personally will be waiting till the week of release. the blu steel from canada is tempting.

[iluvmywife]

Thanks to the OP for posting the early ad. I have to admit that I was not really believing that this deal was real. $5 GC plus $10 coupon makes this a steal at $5.

I thought the same thing. What would the harm be in preordering Up? The $5 you put down is offset by the $5 off you get on Snow White.

Does UP BD come with a DVD copy?

[lolwut?]

Damn, this is a great deal. I'm going to get one, and I'm not even that big of a Disney fan.

I'm going to try to pre-order tomorrow so I can get the $5 GC. Is this something the employee's will know about or does it just show up automatically on your receipt?

[ninjalunchbox79]

Hell i might as well get this for my wife.

[Sad Turtle]

I went today to preorder and the $5 gc offer is on the preorder ticket they had

[chrisflyer]

Went to pre-order yesterday in North Hills, PA, and they didn't have any preorder cards. The guy working the R-Zone didn't remember ever seeing them. Debating whether or not I want to bother trying Monroeville on my lunch break.

[JokerCard]

Although Amazon just lowered their price to match, this to me is still a better deal with the $5 giftcard....

Will pick it up tomorrow after work.

[shrike4242]

Although Amazon just lowered their price to match, this to me is still a better deal with the $5 giftcard....

Will pick it up tomorrow after work.If there wasn't a $5 GC, then I'd pick it up at Amazon without any issue. Since there is a GC, and it ends up being about $4 or so after taxes, it's still more than I had going the Amazon route.

[Animal7390]

you will not be able to preorder tomorrow. you will not get the giftcard unless you pre order today.

[Jcaugustine]

The TRU here in Ontario, CA is sold out of pre-order cards.

It's all good. I'll just go the Amazon route. I didn't want to have to drive 15 mins to pre-order today, then another 15 min drive to pick it up tomorrow, and pay 8.75% on Sales Tax saving me barely $3.

[prim4444]

Just a side note to those who pre ordered and getting 2 or more copies at TRU. Purchase all your movies in different transactions. The $5 gift card has no activation restrictions. Use the $5 gift card from the first purchase toward the second movie and so on to help bring the overall costs down.

[Masterkyo]

I pre-order 3 copies today at TRU put down $15 deposit. I'll get mine $15 GC and pay extra $15 plus taxes after (3) $10 off coupon. Blu Ray Movie under $6 Each :)

[elessar123]

Pre-ordered it today after work, using my Batman:AA gift card. This deal is crazy good, and I don't even like Disney, but they retain value extremely well.

[donut]

Preordered two this eve on separate tix.
$5 GCs will not be activated for 6 hours...
GCs will have limited time to use but not sure how long.
Gonna combine this with the $5 Up! preorder and the $10 coupon...can't hurt even if I decide to not purchase Up! at TRU...
Thanks Ops!:applause::applause:

[gunm]

Ah rats, there's no way I'll make it out to TRU today, and I'm going to guess they don't have any more pre-order slips. Crap, and I was going to go to TRU tomorrow to check out the Lego sale. >_<

Guess I'm going the amazon route--my coupon code there is still active. :p

Edit: Bah, the wife says the movie is too scary for the kids, lol. I have to admit, it's not my fave movie in Disney's "legacy" catalog anyways. I guess I'll just save myself $10 (or $5 or whatever) in the meantime. >_<

[jdawgg76]

Kept getting an error stating that my printer wasn't compatible when I would click print coupon. Had to turn off Webroot AS/AV in order to print. Now it says that it found Adware: App/CoupBar-Gen. Shady, but removable.

at least yours gave a semi legitimate excuse. I clicked "print coupon" and then it said it wouldn't let me cause I already printed the maximum number allowed. WTF?

[POPEYE1716]

Just take a screen SHot of the Web page, Crop out the background images in microsoft Paint and Pring that Way.

[tomdolizong]

Can someone just post a screenshot of the coupon?

[gameboykid14]

I preordered yesterday to get the $5 gift card. I go in just now with my $10 off coupon and they don't give me a gift card, because they said since I preodered and used the coupon I can't get the $5 GC.

This happen to anyone else?

[shrike4242]

I pre-ordered it last week, so I'm curious to see what shenanigans I might be in for if it's at the TRU I pre-ordered at (South County store on S. Lindbergh).

[Link127]

yep, similar thing for me. bunch of idiots. i did not get a gift card. basically:

19.99
-10.00 coupon
- 5.00 deposit
- 5.00 discount from preordering UP
+ 5.00 deposit on UP
= 5.05 (after tax)

but they would not give me a gift card. i ended up saying "screw it" on UP and they just manually discounted the gift card on Snow White. i only paid $0.05 today.

was hoping to pay 5.05 and get the $5 gift card (to use on next week's B2G1) plus have $5 deposited toward UP. oh well, rather not give them more business anyway and hope Amazon or Best Buy has a better deal for UP.

basically, they claimed the UP promotion can only be used on a regular Disney movie, not a presell (wtf?)

[Kakkarrot23]

Make sure they give you the gift card as it is not ringing up in the system automatically. I was there at 10 EST and I had to have a manager come over and fix it. She just ended up giving me 5off the purchase.

For those of you with daughters out there, add 5.01 to the purchase on any disney princess item and you will get a free princess baking set. I got a Mulan doll, Snow White BR, & Princess Baking set for 10.66 total. The items will ring and take the free item off. Then give them the 10 vender coupon.

[gameboykid14]

Since I see you're from St. Louis, as am I, would you mind telling me which TRU you went to that denied you the GC with the use of the coupon?

I pre-ordered it last week, so I'm curious to see what shenanigans I might be in for if it's at the TRU I pre-ordered at (South County store on S. Lindbergh).

The one on West Florissant, it wasn't just that they denied me the card, the prompt never came up in the computer to give me a card. When I complained the manager that came over told me what I said in my last post.

[Kakkarrot23]

That really sucks GBK14 as my store were confused at first but seeing it on the pre-order card was all they needed. It took three people but they did it no problem.

[shrike4242]

The one on West Florissant, it wasn't just that they denied me the card, the prompt never came up in the computer to give me a card. When I complained the manager that came over told me what I said in my last post.From posts above, it looks like there's some glitch in the system that isn't having the card come up automatically.

I don't think that the terms & conditions of the $5 GC are listed on the pre-order card or at the store, so they're just making up something about it not being applicable. The coupon comes from Disney itself, so it's not like it's some third party in the middle of the mess.

I'll try it tonight at the SoCo store and let you know what happens.

[180husher]

Same thing happened to me this morning, no gift card prompt in the system. I had to wait 10 minutes, but they eventually just gave me a five dollar gift card.

I didn't notice until I left that my combo came in a regular DVD case, but it still has a Blu-ray in it. Is there a combo that comes in a Blu-ray case? I thought about going back, but I could see how that would just cause the CSR's head to explode.

can i get the gift card even if i did not pre order it?

[manthing]

can i get the gift card even if i did not pre order it?

No.

Even if the system isn't automatically ringing up the $5 GC with preorder, the only proof you'd have of the deal is the preorder card which shows the GC owed at pickup.

Here's a pic of the set in the BR case:
http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3591398

And the DVD case version you picked up:
http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3591401

The contents of each are the same, with one minor exception, as it appears the extras in the DVD case version are on DVD, while the extras in the BR case version are on BR.

I'd go back and ask for an even exchange.

[Snake2715]

thats some crap... i want the blu ray case... all my store had was tbe dvd case... whats up with that crap.

[vessey632]

Well, this deal started off rough but ended very well.

I went in to pick up the pre-order Blu Ray and tried to give them the manufacturer's coupon. No go. Wouldn't scan for some reason, so I had to drive home and print up a new one. Went back and had them re-try it. Everything worked, the message even popped up about the $5.00 gift card. Then the cashier tells me my total.

$.35
and add on the $5 I put down for a total of
$5.35

So yeah, I ended up getting the BD version and a $5.00 gift card for the price of the gift card plus tax for only the cost of the gift card. Glad I didn't give up after the first coupon failure.

[rapsodist]

I had the same problem with my coupon not scanning correctly, though they just used another coupon they had on hand. They said I was the first coupon to not scan correctly this morning. I've never had problems with my printer before, so I'm not sure what the problem was.

The system also wasn't accepting the combination of the coupon and the gift card offer, so I had to wait around a bit while they figured it out. They said there was one person who'd come in before me who had both the pre-order card and the coupon, but he didn't want to wait while they figure it out. Guess he was in a hurry 'cause that gift card effectively halves the cost!

They ended up manually readjusting the price of the item to give me credit back on a gift card. When I looked at the receipt later, I realized that the computer had also readjusted tax, so they actually gave me $5.49 on the gift card!

[muskies35]

Went to Heath OH store after work. Did not have a preorder for it. $5 GC automatically came up at checkout and used $10 coupon. I did purchase a 5.99 princess item so I got the baking set free. My total was $17 after tax plus I have a $5 GC to use.

[ajh2298]

I also somehow got screwed out of $5.00 on this, even though I did end up with the $5.00 gift card I dont think I ever got the my original $5.00 back off the movie for pre-ordering it. My receipt is so hard to understand because I also pre-ordered "Up" and bought a $45.00 toddler bedset for my son so I could use a $10.00 off a $50.00 purchase coupon I had around. So that $10.00 discount is pro-rated over all three item that are on my receipt, and its confusing as hell to look at.

Well, you paid $5 down. So you got the $5 back in gift card, but you still paid $10.35 out of pocket.

picked up my 2 copies from TRU - wound up being $15 total out of pocket since i used the first $5 gift card to pay for 2nd copy. I also went ahead and pre-ordered 2 copies of Up! since it was the same price otherwise. At worst, i don't buy it. At medium best, i can return the preorder later and get $10. At best, there will be some other coupon for Up! later similar to this.

Prior to this, I went to Best Buy and returned my two pre-orders for snow White i made there.

[Reira]

I had no problem today. The lady knew automatically about the $5 GC, so I basically paid $5.90 for a brand new Disney Blu-Ray. I'm happy.

I thought about pre-ordering UP, but maybe somebody will do a really good deal with Monsters, Inc. coming out the same day. (I'd rather buy Monsters than UP anyway.)

[donut]

Smooth today...
Had two preordered on separate receipts.

In this order -
Handed/scanned blu-ray case version of movie.
Handed/scanned $5 Up! preorder.
Handed/scanned $10 coupon
Handed/scanned preorder receipt from yesterday.
Paid $5.xx (traded in a couple games for this, smooth trade in transaction and my first) and received $5 GCard

2nd order -
Same order as above but used the First order $5 gift card!
It was activated immediately!

walked out with 2 movies, 2 $5 preorders (nothing to loose on this if I buy them somewhere else) and one $5 giftcard after using about $6.xx in game trade in credit... now if
had only traded in a couple games yesterday to cover the $10 preorders...

Later today - off to BBuy to return my preorder.

[Animal7390]

Just take a screen SHot of the Web page, Crop out the background images in microsoft Paint and Pring that Way.

take a screen shot of what webpage? there is nothing to screenshot,unless i'm missing something.

Can someone just post a screenshot of the coupon?

the coupons are individually numbered. we have gone over this numerous times in this thread alone. try google.

[AdvOfJet]

can i get the gift card even if i did not pre order it?
No.

Even if the system isn't automatically ringing up the $5 GC with preorder, the only proof you'd have of the deal is the preorder card which shows the GC owed at pickup.

Actually if you go in and purchase the movie today without having a pre-order the computer is automatically promoting to add the gift card to the total purchase. I did it this morning with the coupon and no pre-order and received the $5 gift card.

muskies35 also got the gift card with no preorder. It seems as if the system is setup to auto generate the gift cards for non-preorder purchases instead of the actual pre-ordered ones.

[prim4444]

Make sure they give you the gift card as it is not ringing up in the system automatically. I was there at 10 EST and I had to have a manager come over and fix it. She just ended up giving me 5off the purchase.

For those of you with daughters out there, add 5.01 to the purchase on any disney princess item and you will get a free princess baking set. I got a Mulan doll, Snow White BR, & Princess Baking set for 10.66 total. The items will ring and take the free item off. Then give them the 10 vender coupon.

You didn't have to buy the extra item. The baking set would have come off for free just buying the DVD because of the $29.99 regular price. I ended up getting one for each of the copies I got today.

[rapsodist]

It seems as if the system is setup to auto generate the gift cards for non-preorder purchases instead of the actual pre-ordered ones.

Would be funny if they actually screwed it up like that somehow. I pre-ordered and had all kinds of trouble with the coupon and the gift card offer.

[donut]

pickles...missed the baking set...now whether to go back...

[Pookymeister]

Did anyone else not pay tax?

I just noticed that my total was 4.99 flat for the first set.

[vessey632]

Well, you paid $5 down. So you got the $5 back in gift card, but you still paid $10.35 out of pocket.

I didn't actually pay anything at checkout other than the .35 tax. The five dollars was what I originally put down. Sorry, I wasn't clear in the original post.

[takotchi]

I went to pick mine up... managed to apply the $10 coupon and get the $5 gift card, but the cashier said the computer would not allow me to get my $5 deposit and the baking set. Actually, I didn't even know about the baking set - but I decided to take it, and I'll just donate it to some Christmas toy drive that ought to be coming up soon.

All-in-all, I paid about $16 and got a $5 gift card, a classic animated movie on Blu-ray, and some cheesy toy that might make some kid happy. Not bad at all.

[Kakkarrot23]

You didn't have to buy the extra item. The baking set would have come off for free just buying the DVD because of the $29.99 regular price. I ended up getting one for each of the copies I got today.

That's good to know however my daughter was there with me so I had to buy it ;)

[neoz]

I got lucky again I guess with the whole SW issue. I went to get my :br: which I had preordered for $5 and preorder UP in the hopes of getting the $5 of any :br: When I asked the lady if I could do that she said no, so I was like ok that's fine I still want to preorder UP then. Well after looking at my receipt when I got in the car.

I saw that the $5 did apply for UP along with the $10 and my initial $5 for SW. I walked out of TRU with the $5 GC (which the lady was like oh don't forget your GC hun) and preordering UP for $5.66. So I kinda got SW :br: for free if you want to count the GC.

[ajh2298]

To anybody who pre-ordered and picked up today at TRU could you please type out what it says on your receipt for the Snow White purchase.

[180husher]

Yes, there is.

Here's a pic of the set in the BR case:
http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3591398

And the DVD case version you picked up:
http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3591401

The contents of each are the same, with one minor exception, as it appears the extras in the DVD case version are on DVD, while the extras in the BR case version are on BR.

I'd go back and ask for an even exchange.

Too far, too much trouble. Watched it with the kids tonight and the bonus disc is actually Blu-ray. I just prefer Blu-ray cases as I can stick twice as many in my entertainment center draws. Thanks for the info though.

[shrike4242]

Thanks for the info though.Good to know the bonus disc is BR also. Someone earlier in the thread said it was DVD, so in that case, you're only stuck with a DVD case over a BR case.

The one on West Florissant, it wasn't just that they denied me the card, the prompt never came up in the computer to give me a card. When I complained the manager that came over told me what I said in my last post.I didn't have an issue with the SoCo store. They scanned the title, scanned the pre-order card, scanned the coupons, swiped the gift card and wasn't an issue.

They did have issues earlier today because they didn't download the coupon information into the register, though that should be fixed now. Give it another try and I don't think you'll have an issue.

Thanks for the info, as I went after work, and there were only 3-4 copies left of the DVD box on two display racks. Blu-ray version of bonus disk + rather have the blu-ray box combined would have made me gone back, but just the latter I can live with for using ~$6 net balance on gift card.

[soonerdoc]

This is not correct. Both cases have EXACTLY the same contents. BR with movie, BR with extras and DVD of movie only. If you want DVD extras (don't have BR), the 2 DVD set of this is not being released until later this year.

[MrNEWZ]

I didn't actually pay anything at checkout other than the .35 tax. The five dollars was what I originally put down. Sorry, I wasn't clear in the original post.

How in the world did that work out? Congrats.

[MikeC]

I did not pre-order, but I still got the $5 gift card. $30 Blu-Ray for essentially $5+tax. LOVE IT!

This is going to be a Christmas present for my daughter. Hopefully she will actually be born before Christmas. She's due Dec 22. Yes I now she won't be watching it for a couple of years, but the deal was too good to pass up.

[shrike4242]

This is not correct. Both cases have EXACTLY the same contents. BR with movie, BR with extras and DVD of movie only. If you want DVD extras (don't have BR), the 2 DVD set of this is not being released until later this year.As I stated in my post, someone said it had the extras on BR, not DVD. I didn't have any first-hand knowledge of it until last night when I picked up my copy and found that was incorrect, as extras are on BR.

When I can find said post, I'll link it here.

[psunami]

They didn't give me the gift card. I went to customer service and they were confused as all get out... and I just didn't feel like sweating the details for that long. If I go back in the next week, I might try to get them to correct it, but it came out to $6.08 or something like that but no card.

[lolwut?]

I went to pick up my copy today and the woman wasn't prompted about the giftcard and neither her nor the higher up she called over knew how/cared enough to try to get me a giftcard through other means.

The $5 ended up being deducted from my total; it came to $5.6X after tax.

I dunno if there was a CAG or a Slickdeals member or what at that TRU, but I saw a guy holding a couple copies of Snow White on Blu-Ray and looking at the Up preorder; he obviously knew the deal. I also saw him picking up GH:WT at Target on clearence a week or two ago. This was at the West Hartford, CT Toys R Us. If you are a member, sup bro?

[Animal7390]

something happened with the system since yesterday. the system is not prompting the gift card. mine subtracted the 5 from the total and then i got the 5 on a giftcard making the total 4.99 for the movie, up pre-order and a 5 giftcard.

[iluvmywife]

TRU really screwed this up big time, luckly I was at work so my wife had to deal with them.

My wife got the free baking set and used the coupon to pick up our preorder BD copy for $5.40 out the door without the $5 GC. She asked them about the $5 GC and was sent to CS.

This is where is gets confusing. Apparently there are too many promos going on and the employees are not getting proper training because the lady was being rude to my wife. After about 20 minutes, the lady did a exchange and gave my wife $5.40 back on the credit card and a $4.60 GC plus $.40 in change.

My wife tried in vain to tell the woman that this was not correct but the CS was even more rude so my wife said OK and left.

Pretty sad when you try to do the right thing and the employee is rude to you.

Total out of pocket was $5 for the BD version and the baking set which will make a great B-Day present in a couple weeks for our 3 year old girl.

ha whats up that was me and I thought you looked familiar when I saw you at tru. unfortunately I got denied on the giftcard even after going to customer service so I'm just going to cancel my up preorder tomorrow. Did you preorder? let me know if you find anything good on clearance at target and i'll do the same.

[jling84]

So as of today are they not giving out the gift card anymore if you didn't preorder?

[fizzywix]

Went to pick up my preordered copy, had a few problems, ended up walking out after paying 6.xx. My coupon wasn't scanning correctly (I'm pretty sure they were scanning the wrong barcode on it), they didn;t know about the 19.99 price until I showed them the ad, and they forgot my gift card until I pointed it out to them, but I did get it all eventually. I had a very nice cashier, but a very rude manager helping me.

And it took me forever to find the actual, there were 3 end caps and a spot in the blu ray section with a sign that said 19.99 for snow white, but they were empty because all the movies were on a seperate display at the front of the store.

[elessar123]

Weird to hear so many people had problems. When I went in yesterday, everything was done without my prompting anything, from sale price, to gift card. But I didn't pick up a baking set nor pre-order Up.

[Animal7390]

today it is different, something happened in the system.

[xoh96x]

Went in and the cashier said it wouldn't give her the $5 gift card prompt, manager came and tried it on another register and no go (I had preordered it last week) Finally the manager just gave an additional $5 off to compensate for the gift card.

Employee/cashier was very nice and said they just switched over to a new system last week and that's probably the reason there was a problem (don't know the validity of that)

[lolwut?]

Haha; I was going to ask, but if you said no, I would've felt stupid.

Yeah, I preordered on Monday. I went straight to the checkout line at Customer Service though, and the girl running the register called another woman over, who manually took off the $5.00. I then gave her the $10 coupon and she scanned it and I paid my $5.61 or whatever

[gojiboy]

i haven't read the last couple of pages so i don't know if its happened to anyone else, but i did not pre-order the DVD to get the $5 gift card, yet when i checked out on tuesday after picking up a copy from the display, the cashier ended up giving me the gift card anyway... so that's pretty awesome :)

[flix1]

ALMOST no problems picking up my preorder AND getting the UP preorder:

$19.99 BD
-$5.00 Preorder
-$10.00 Coupon
+$5.00 UP Preorder
-$5.00 UP Preorder bonus
---------
$4.99 + TAX

... The GC did not ring up, but the Cashier just processed the GC as a free $5 GC after the Blu-ray transaction was complete.

By purchasing the UP Pre-order and getting the $5 off bonus, I actually saved almost $0.30 in Tax. (They had rung it up without the preorder at first and after ringing up again with the UP preorder, it was $0.29 less). So, even if I decide not to pickup the UP preorder at TRU, just by including it in my Snow White purchase, it saved me money.

[jdawgg76]

Just a head's up. Don't forget there's a rebate on this movie in the main DVD section in a stickied thread.
