Wow....what a day! Got to ToysRus @9:30 thinking I wouldn't be waitn' too long to get the movie, and the parking lot was completely full and the line went to the back of the store. So I drove over to Circuit City and they weren't open till 10. So, I went back to ToysRus and finally found a parking spot. Inside was another story; the store was jam-packed w/ people (reminded me of the Schwarzenneger movie "Jingle All The Way"). I waited twenty minutes in there just to get the fullscreen version. :mad: Finally, I went back to Circuit City and got my widescreen version:) I was the last customer to have the $9.99 honored...WOOHOO! Good luck to everyone trying to get it at such an unbelievable price.

    Dang, they sold this DVD below cost, It costs them (dealer )$15.99 and they took a loss of $6 for each copy they sold. I paid $15.99 at BB but get a free SW calendar so I'm not complaint. Your guy are so lucky but I guess for what you've been through, you earned every penny that you save. Congratulations...

    I walked into Best Buy, picked up my WS copy along with LotR:EE, walked up to the service counter, waited 30 seconds for the person in front of me, the lady at the counter price matched TRU for $9.99 (All I said was TRU?). Out the door in less than 5 minutes. Plus I got my 4,400 Zoner points.


    Peace Out~:D

    I called Toys R Us just before leaving work last Friday and they had two copies of the $9.99 special of SW:AotC left. The nice lady agree to hold one for me. Circuit City is literally next door to TRU and they were not price matching.

    Like I said, there was only 1 person in front of me who was just about finished up. I most always go to the service counter to make my purchases, line is shorter.

    Besides, when tomorrow rolls around I'll be picking up Reign of Fire and Shania Twains: Up. Best Buy will need to price match CC's price on both.


    Peace Out~:D

    No my friend, click HERE .

    If you are a BB frequent shopper, you need the Zoner card. In short..

    ~It costs $9.99
    ~Upon purchase you get 5,000 points and a 10% off coupon by mail.

    ~You get 500 points for every purchase and 100 points for every dollar spent.

    ~Once you hit 12,500 points, you get a $5.00 gift card.

    ~The card is good for 1 year with no limit.

    I signed up two weeks ago and with the 5,000 bonus, I hit 13,000 points today. I now have the 10% coupon and the $5 gift card.

    It's a no brainer if you shop a lot at BB, which I do. Their service may suck, but their prices are very, very hard to beat.


    Peace Out~:D
