Now the on-line listing shows Unavailable for my store.

Checked when I went to my store for something else and they had 2 ZDT SteelBooks with the new releases. What happened to that Unavailable deal?

Grabbed one and will keep the better looking one when my shipped one comes in. I asked the Anderson rep how many they received here and he said 3

Hahaha.

Hopefully they had more there, because it's ready for pickup so I'm a bit anxious. Sounds like different stores are getting different alotments.

BB should put a limit on purchasing these exclusives, something like 2 per customer - at least for the first week so that real fans get to secure a copy before those scalpers clear the shelves.

This thing became a hype, it's not that great.
People were spreading rumours, so everyone started ordering these damn things. that's why they're selling out because you guys made a hype out of it for nothing. That's why everyone that's posting here says they 'grabbed 2 copies' (probably more because they know it's going to be expensive once it's sold out). Scalpers have also noticed the hype and will buy all stock.

You did this !

The scalper was mad because he got one copy less? Or was he mad because he saw you buying all stock and leaving only 1 for him? Because I don't think 1 copy more or less matters for a scalpers? They're always after +10 copies?

Hey, you know a lot about scalping!

I arrived at BB at 1015 thinking it would be the perfect time. I was wrong. The anderson rep guy told me they had only seven and it sold out within 5 minutes. Two guys bought them all.

And they let those a-holes buy them all up? Then they wonder why people hate BB.

Was the first one to walk into my store this morning. They had 4 copies and I bought 2. One for a friend of mine who was at work, not to scalp. Scalpers are the terrorists of the blu-ray world. Maybe we should take some lessons from the film and act them out

. I kid of course, but with RZ I got this and two of the 9.99 BOGO Sony titles for under 30 bucks. Not too bad.

silverlakephil · 03-19-2013, 06:32 PM

I pre-ordered for my 2 copies and arrived a minute before opening. Made a bee line for the ZD30 display and there were like three other dudes grabbing their copies. Grabbed one copy in case any of the other two weren't mint. Picked up my 2 copies at pick up counter. Both were mint so I returned the one copy. My UK buddy will be pleased. Six copies left at the WeHo store when I left.

jayturner514 · 03-19-2013, 06:35 PM

Got there in time to get the last copy at my BBY.....

HD Goofnut · 03-19-2013, 06:37 PM

Got over to my Best Buy about an hour ago and they had 2 copies left so I took 1. They had 5 to start with. Pathetic stocking IMHO.

I have a lady reserving one for me at the West Hollywood location because I can't pick mine up until 4:00. What if she forgot...

TRITE · 03-19-2013, 06:53 PM

After reading im glad I pre-ordered. Luckily mine was shipped in great condition.

I wouldn't worry, the WeHo location usually delivers. Their Anderson rep knows what he's doing, if he's the one pulling them off the shelves that is.
