Found this.

Even though I don't have an HDDVD player, the DVD version will suit me just fine! :)
Going to my closest store to buy one/two/all, in stock for me. :)

EDIT: BB price-matched for me, total after taxes 11.xx$. They did NOT call to ask. Just went up to the cashier and he was great, did it without comment, I was even geared up for an arguement... :) At least I have a gift for my parents. :)

159.99 (http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0926INGFSM2140897&logon=&langid=EN) - 23.99 (http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FSM2140897&logon=&langid=EN) = 136.00 * .10 = 13.60 = 23.99 - 13.60 = $10.39
Oh man, did I do that right? if so I think my inner trekkie just passed out.

Well online it says they're in stock at specific locations in Vancouver however when I call to confirm they tell me they're all sold out.
I'm thinking if I get bestbuy to check online they'll see that those locations indicate stock. I wonder if bestbuy would even call. If not, maybe they'll pm. I think it's worth a shot.
bestbuy will probably tell me it's below cost and can't PM (which they've done to me before)
bah im probably waisting my time. With such a price difference they'll most likely want to call to confirm

Hello... After buying one at FS, I successfully (and without ANY problems) price-matched another one at BB. The total, after taxes, came to 11.xx$. Can scan receipt if needed.

They took it off because it is an obvious pricing error. Even Costco is selling Season One of the old regular dvd set for $47.99.

Which one, I had my ISPU at Ottawa South cancelled. It showed in-stock when I ordered, maybe you picked it up..... ;-) All other stores were OOS if you believe the online count.

I ordered online yesterday just after this deal was posted. No stores near me had it in stock so I couldn't do in store pickup. I just received and email saying my order was "successfully processed" and it will be shipped. I might be one of the luck ones.. unless those who have had their orders canceled received a similar "processed" email.
Thanks OP for posting this!

Looked in the Downtown Edmonton store today, nothing in stock, clerk said they sold the last one last night (and I was the 2nd guy looking for one this morning).
Said they were sold out at all Edmonton stores, I didn't know whether or not to believe him, but it kept me from taking the LRT out to the clareview store.

looks like not the case according to gsrce :arrowd:

so like usual, once online warehouse stock depleted they take it off the website (they'll prbly be more efficient in doing so if they find out RFDers are trying to get this PMed at BB for ~$11 ;) )

so I got the email from futureshop saying that they are not getting this item back in stock and that my order had been cancelled because of this....damn it....they did offer me a 5% discount code though so I guess it wasn't all for nothing....anybody have an extra that they want to sell?
