I'm hearing from various forums that Best Buy are giving some a hard time about using the trade up coupons with 3D movies.
Anyone have any issues this week?

I haven't had any issues the last few times I've done it.

anyone get Prometheus yet? Is the extra content good? I saw it in 3d in the movies and it looks really good in 3D, not really pop out in your face but just really nice and comfortable

Just received it but have yet to fire it up, very interested to see the deleted scenes. Wound up going with the 3D package. Glad to see you enjoyed the 3D as I saw it in 2D in theaters.

yea plus its only $25 at bestbuy and u get 3d with regular blu ray, dvd and digital copy combo pack

Just picked up Prometheus at Bestbuy. 4 disc collectors edition is awesome! it says 7 hours of extras plus an alternate opening and ending!! hell yeah

Watched Prometheus and thought the 3D was fantastic. Haven't watched the extras but considering its a 3 hour documentary by the Alien Quadrilogy guy I imagine it will be as good as those (i.e. fantastic).

Just picked up Hugo 3D combo pack with no issues.

Just picked up Prometheus 3d using the Upgrade & Save and the Mystery rewards($5) so I got it for $15.

I haven't yet *knocks on wood*

This time around I bought Promethues 3d without any problems.

During the last U&S I bought Thor 3d, Captain America 3d, Hugo 3d, Tin Tin 3d, and Transformers DOTM 3d. I didn't even mix them with any regular blurays. I just bought the 3D bluray combo packs by themselves.

I got denied because the associate said the coupons only work on retail prices and Prometheus was on sale. I didn't even have my DVD with so figured it was no big deal but I could see that scenario happening to others.

I used a coupon without issue on Prometheus 3D.

I picked up the Prometheus 3D set. (I really wanted the additional extra features disc) Unfortunately, my brother is getting married this weekend and I simply do not have the time to check out the special features. Hopefully I'll be able to get around to it some time next week.

Picked up Prometheus 3D yesterday no problem, but the cashier did tell me the system wouldn't ring up the coupon for some titles earlier in the week. Seems to be fixed though.

I know at the store I go to the issue wasn't the movie you were buying buy rather the coupons themselves. The coupons wouldn't scan right, they had to use 5 of the mobile upgrade coupons instead of the ones they had at customer service. This U&S has been one of the most poorly run of all the times they have done it from what I have seen.

I was told by the customer service manager that they don't work on 3D movies when I picked up Prometheus. The coupon didn't ring for the 3D combo pack, but worked on ET and Red Dawn. She gave it to me anyway, and I did point out that I use them on 3D disks all the time, and that they advertise the discount on 3D disks in their flyers.

Also, she wouldn't let me get a coupon without using it immediately because "they expire on the 20th". I pointed out that the 20th was 11 days away but she didn't care.

Best Buy is sooo notorious for having the least trained, idiotic people working for them. Every time I have a store pickup, preorder, coupon, etc. I absolutely dread dealing with them, but it's kinda fun to see how many people it takes to solve a simple problem. Best Buy is really hurting in sales and the company is not doing well. I would say at least 50% of this could be fixed, by just training your employees, and making the POS more user friendly for the employee's......<END OF RANT>

Just watched the silica storm scene in Prometheus 3D. Almost wanted to shield my eyes from the fragments.

I had no problem using the upgrade and save coupon on Prometheus.

How are people having issues? It's in the weekly ad that the 3d Prometheus is 19.99 after coupon. Just make them look at their own weekly ad. That should debunk both the 3d and sale price issue.
