This was a surprise. I went to get my new Daughtry CD and walked out with that and Mad Men: Season 2 on Blu-ray. The deal isn't advertised on Best Buy's website but was clearly marked in store on the shelves.

This is an awesome deal considering everywhere else is $40+ for the Blu-ray set. Heck the dvd set is $36.99

Thanks OP!
I just picked up a copy. Still shows $39.99 online but, sure enough in store it was $22.99. That price is a steal considering how brilliant the show is. You made my day!!! Thanks again! :D

DAMN that is a hot deal - I hope it is like a 3 day price (not 1 day only), since I didn't see this thread until just now, I'll hit up BB later this afternoon.

Hmm, might need to get a raincheck for it as well *sigh* no copies left at my local BB....

Is it important to have seen S1 before S2 or can you catch up pretty easily? I've only seen one episode and it was pretty good.

I thought FS only pricematched on advertised sales, anyone know if it is possible to PM for this? Also, anyone seen this deal in Quebec?

Strange, i dont understand how they have not received stock yet when it was supposed to come out yesterday. I hope this is not a pricing error and something they have corrected already :(

i sort of got the impression that since they didn't have stock of it yet, they were just using the web interface. i wasn't sure that the lazy person on the phone first actually looked and just gave his thoughts instead of checking, but i called back and talked to somebody else and it was the same (no stock, 39.99 price listed in the system).

WICKED deal if this isn't a price error (which it likely is).

I have not done one myself so not sure. Does copy and paste work? I just went to the BB at Bay and Dundas, was told same story. S2 is OOS and the price on the system is $39.99. I just didn't bother, i assume its the same clerk that has been fielding all the calls today.

It seems to be looking that way.
For me the sticker said $49.99, the shelf said $39.99 and it scanned the same.

There was no advertisement for this price on their flyer and nothing online when they were promoting it so i would assume this was a pricing error and fixed. It seems that way now considering how everyone is reporting the pricing to be back at retail price. Oh well... if i can't get it at that price or get a raincheck, i will wait till i can PM it with somewhere else :)

Well just in case. I got my receipt for everyone to use if they need too.

Denied in Winnipeg.

Scanned at $39.99 and the CSR would not adjust. Maybe I'll go back with a print off, of the receipt, that was just posted.

so has anyone been successful today specifically at getting it for this price?

The receipt might help, but if no one knows if it was a one day thing, or no one's been successful at getting it for 22 today, then i might not bother making the drive.

My nearest BB is a 20 minute drive and I didn't make it there today, based on the lack of success with this thread I doubt I'll bother now :(

Success at Winnipeg - Regent.

I went back with a print out of the receipt and the clerk at the CS counter said OK, after checking with a higher up.

Thanks again OP. You saved me $17.00 + taxes.

At BB Heartland, the price labels on the shelf clearly stated that the Blu version was $22.99 but it was sold out. After a bit of effort, I managed to get a CSR at the CS desk to give me a raincheque. She mentioned that the $22.99 price was only for two days (yesterday and today) and the price in their system was $39.99.

Well i'm glad to see some users were able to get in on the deal. I just wish i posted my receipt earlier for everyone. Heck you never know if it will still work tomorrow ;)

You were able to PM it in futureshop? Lol.. now thats gotta be nice. I gotta try Bay and Dundas BB today...gonna rationalize it that they have to honor this price as they did not receive any stock and customers should not be disaffected :D we will see...

Edit: No copies at FS at Bay and Dundas. No copies at BB. Tried to get a raincheck for that price for Mad Men Season 2, was denied. CSR claimed they have seen several print-outs of the receipt already and will not PM it. Don't bother wasting your time, deal should be considered dead as BB system reads $39.99 anyways.
