Re: Up and Monsters, Inc. deals (Part 2)
Tomorrow is the big day. Going to Best Buy. I have $7.50 down on Up. I'm gonna have them pricematch their website...so...
$19.99 (Up Pricematched from BB Website)
-$7.50 (down payment)
= $12.49
then...
$18.99 (Monsters Inc.)
-$8.00 (Disney Manufacturers Coupon)
=$10.99
so,
$12.49
+ 10.99
=$23.48 (for both Up and Monsters Inc.)
Stellar deal.

Ummm, exactly what kind of Obama fuzzy math are you using here. You already made a down payment for $7.50 correct? So you'll owe $12.49 for a total of, wait... $19.99! add that to the after discount price for Monsters Inc. ($10.99) and your total ends up being $30.98 not the $23.48 you claim.

Christ, we're not talking about a couple hundred bucks here. It's 7 dollars and 50 cents... yes, that's pretty meaningless to me. Plus, I got the steelbook... which Best Buy is selling for $15 bucks now.

As for the steelbook, I was sorely tempted to battle with the manager over that $15 price tag. It explicitly says you get it for FREE with $7.50 deposit (that goes to the movie purchase), yet the manger told me the extra $7.50 was FOR purchasing the steelbook. (That was after he tried to convince me the steelbook info included was manufacturer info and nothing to do with Best Buy. I had to tell him the item was an exclusive to Best Buy and it was a Best Buy promotion.)

Using that so-called logic, if they'd let you pre-pay it in full, then you could go in and pick it up without paying anything. Then you could brag that you got it for free!

Re: Up and Monsters, Inc. deals (Part 2)
revised math (for you touchy folks)
$19.99 (Up - pricematched from BB website)
-$7.50 (I bought the steelbook, and they put the money towards my Up purchase!)
-$10.00 (Up manufacturer's coupon)
=$2.49
then...
$18.99 (Monsters Inc.)
-$8.00 (Disney Manufacturers Coupon)
=$10.99
so,
$2.49
+ 10.99
=$13.48 (for both Up and Monsters Inc.)
Stellar deal.
EDIT: applied the Up $10 manufacturer's coupon!

Point of all this is... I can look at it any way I want. Either way, there are some incredible deals out there for these two releases and we should all be very happy about that.

This just goes to show how much studios and stores overcharge us on movies. Disney is full aware that stores are selling this for $20 and that this coupon will apply thus making it $10. Tell me that when they charge upwards of $40 regularly for this they aren't ripping us off.
