Heck yes. I'm with you man. I traded in those Game of Thrones DVDs during other U&S promotions, but I bought them at BB for .01 cent. I didn't make an HBO purchase.

I didn't want to boast, but it's hard to hold it in much longer. Last week I was across town and I happened to stop by a Gamestop I've never been to for some of those .10 cent ps2 games. Next door was a dollar tree. I walked in and bought 27 of those .25 cent dvds for a total of $6.25.

At another dollar tree, I bought 5 more .25 cent DVDs and 8 of those penny Flash Gordon DVDs. I threw in a couple dollar DVDs just so my total purchase price wasn't too low. I read on the bluray.com forum about customers being denied the penny DVDs at Dollar tree.

Anyway, I hope BB continues their trend of U&S deals every three months. I have enough DVDs to last a little while.

Also, that Gamestop happened to be the only Gamestop in the district to still carry PS2 games. All of the other stores send their ps2 games to this one huge store, so I hit the motherload that day.

Back on topic though, here's my haul for Tuesday.

The Great Mouse Detective - $14.99
Cabin in the Woods - $14.99
ET book edition - $16.99 (used one of those universal 100 $3 coupons)
Prometheus 3d - $19.99
Taken - $5 (already have this from blockbuster, but bought it for the $10 ticket.

I had to drive to two stores before they would accept my $3 universal coupon. They said it was "double dipping" at the first store. I showed here a print out of one of the Best Buy forums where the BB representatives stated that it's a manufacturer's coupon that should be treated as legal tender. And it shouldn't double dip the U&S coupon. The BB employee didn't care or even look at it. I was spending $80 on new release blurays. Not cheap catalog titles like I usually do. Three dollars wouldn't even cover the tax on my purchase. Should I bother reporting this store?

Im tempted to do it anyways. I was told because the stuff on the site may have a diff sku than the store so if they ring them back up at the store, they may price higher than the site etc.

I would report sonic. Let it be known to the higher-ups their employees are going against their own set rules. You had the print out and was about to drop $100 on movies, you were well prepared and in the know

I assume you're quoting prices after an U&S coupon???
I just bought Prometheus 3D for $19.99 ($24.99 - $5 U&S coupon) last night so if it's on sale for $19.99 (before coupon) already next week I'd be pretty surprised.

My haul from last night:
-Prometheus 3D
-ET
-Apollo 18
-The Great Mouse Detective
-The Adventures of TinTin 3D

I really want to get Cabin in the Woods but every store in my area seems to be sold out. :(

Correct I was probably still updating it when you saw it

I'll be in for the Dictator... actually considered it at the current price. Pretty funny movie.

Pete's Dragon is tempting; probably haven't seen that movie in 25 years. :O

Wish Chernobyl Diaries would drop to a price more befitting it so I could blind buy it. Only really want it for the imagery. . .

Aw, man...I shouldn't have opened the steelbook edition I bought for $19.99 on release week--I could have returned-and-rebought it with a U&S coupon to save another $5. Can I still do that without the actual item?

the one on sale should be a non steelbook edition. i dont think the steelbook edition is the same UPC.

Don't. Save the money.

Likes The Wonder Years, and is also correct on Chernobyl Diaries.

Steelbook versions and non-steelbook versions always have different UPCs at Best Buy.

how long are the gift cards good for? thinking of saving those toward Amazing Spiderman and Dark Knight Rises Blurays

They're good until the last day of the promotion, which is the 20th.

@Travman93 Thanks man. Ok may use those towards Dark Shadows and Prometheus instead. Also just realize Madagascar 3 comes out on the 16th so lots of options there

Are they suppose to take back the U&S coupon after you used it? Dude gave it back to me and Im not sure if I can use it without trading in another DVD. ?

They are supposed to keep the coupons. They all have the same UPC I believe, so you can reuse it if you like.

Had a great experience today. Customer service guy knew what he was doing. I picked up Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Prometheus.
