Well i picked up my copy right at open this morning at the west hollywood bestbuy, I made a point of making sure i was there atleast 30 mins before open(like last week with the bluray exclusives) so that i would definately be the first one in the store, and sure enough 15 mins before open one of the recognizeable scalpers and ebayers and his ghetofabulous girlfriend were there in full force. (seen him and his girlfriend around the local retailers enough to recognize them and over here them braging how they turn around and sell them for a high profit... anyway)when the doors open i walked right to where the endcap was set up, and started going through the 10 or so on display , i find my copy that looks good and go to walk away, by this point there were probably like 6 people behind me in the store at the endcap as i walk away i see that the guy that was behind me grabbed up pretty much every single remaining copy, the other people who were there started complaing and the guy and his girlfriend ran up to the registers, (actually ran past me) and put them down.
The cashier was ringing him up when the manager walked over and said he and the girl could only buy up 1 each since there was limited stock and other customers were complaining. Of course he and his loud mouth gheto girl protests being told only 1, the manager doesnt budge on the 1 limit,saying something about the store has a right to set a limit on the number sold per person, and the guy walks off mad shouting something with the girl following behind.
The manager then took them to customer service counter where some of the others who had complained were waiting, I am pretty sure that the remaining ones were distributed up at the guest services.
I walked up to the cashier and said Dont worry "I only need one and only have one"
Glad I got my one, and i am glad that the other people there were able to get one each as well and the 2 goofballs got none. Iam sure they sped off to one of the other nearby bestbuys though.
When I got home I saw there was one little scratch on the lower corner of the case not really noticeable, and it will probably be the first place i have a cast member sign when I go to the Bluray and Dvd premiere on the 23rd of this month at the El Capitan.
