Fantastic Four 2 at Best Buy

[powersfoss]

So I had movie night last night. Netflix didn't come through with the Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer BD like I'd hoped and I was going show Resident Evil: Apocalypse instead. But I still really wanted to see FF2. I had just read on this board earlier in the day about Best Buy price matching Target and Walmart. So before I left work I printed out a screenshot of FF2 on walmart.com for $27.85. I decided to swing by my local Best Buy and see what the deal was. As soon as I got close to the movie section, I was confronted by this:

My eyes went straight to row 2 on the right and there were fresh BD-50 copies of FF2. Seeing such an awesome display I couldn't resist and decided to go ahead and buy it. An employee walked up to ask me about the iPhone I was taking the picture with and I was like, "yeah, yeah, I want to buy FF2 and it's $34.99. But I have this printout from walmart.com." He immediately said they'd match that price. I took a quick glance at the blu-ray section before heading to the checkout and I was impressed by the selection of blu-rays. It was the most I'd ever seen anywhere in one place. A very nice selection indeed. But I had my loot and quickly got out of there and headed home to prepare for the movie night.

Not only were my friends completely impressed by the picture and sound quality, but I thought this was darn near the most visually stunning BD I have yet seen. It looked and sounded absolutely gorgeous! My friends now want a PS3 so they can watch blu-ray movies as well.

Just thought I'd relay that little tale. I love high-def!

Great news, way to hook more Blu fans.

My BB has the same thing. Very nice display to promote the format.

[MOONPHASE]

[oldmike]

[jamclaur]

Awesome. Movie nights are FUN! Glad to see more people doing it. I can't wait to get this BD. I need to get FF1 though.

I think they only do it if the price is from a direct competitor, like Walmart, Target, etc.

I don't think they'll match strictly online places like Amazon.

ok... I printed the Walmart add.. FF2 at $27.87. Will head over today and let folks know what happens....

Yeah, keep us posted.

Where do I find the Walmart ad?

I'm pretty sure my Walmart doesn't have it in stock which should be a problem but my Best Buy has always been very good about keeping my happy. Wonder if I could get them to price match and then use my 10% off coupon I just got in the mail, that would so be awesome.

They might but it does say regular price on the coupon.

I printed the price from Walmart.com and YES BB matched no issue... $27.87

[Oregoncalfroper]

That link is for the first movie, not rise of the silver surfer.

I was going to say hope you didn't buy samsung to watch it because it won't play

I do the same thing. I always miss the displays with specific movies because I know where my BB's blu-ray section is so when I walk into the store, I go straight there, oblivious to everything else.

OMG, i'm retarded.

[bhampton]

Well,

It's not in the ad for my area and my WalMart doesn't have it in stock,.. I don't think they will match a walmart.com page but I could try.

It's 29.99 at my FYE anyway if I have no luck with the price match.
