As far as the Toy Story deal goes, you don't have to buy it when it comes in (at least not at TRU). You can just put $5 down but get $10 off of BATB. Thats a $5 net gain (or $5 extra off of the movie).
sconnell got a movie (correct me if I am wrong) that apparently they wanted anyway, with a little more off of both BATB and P&F. So I think you got a great deal sconnell. to each their own on where they get it, its just that you can get it the cheapest at TRU after putting the $5 down for TS3.
Okay, I understand the TRU deal a little better now. I was not being contrary, I truly didn't understand it.
So, they don't take your name or anything when you pre-order the DVD? I never would have thought to pre-order and not follow through with it because it seems disingenuous to me. I thought that they took your name and when the DVDs came in that they set them aside for you so that they were not available for someone else to purchase, were taking up room and tying up stock and staff time.
Our TRU is not a nice store. It is the kind of place where you would find dirty diapers in the carts and fast food bags all over the parking lot. I try to avoid it as much as possible. We may go in there once a year around Christmas but that is it, so I didn't know how the pre-orders worked.
I'm glad that you all got fabulous deals. I'm happy with mine as well. We plan to watch the movie tonight with some popcorn and pizza - it will be a fun family evening!
