Even though, the ad this week says you get it FREE with a purchase of eligible Blu-ray movie. You don't have to buy another blu-ray!

You can also get it on it's own for 1 Cent! I just got it today.

I think the YMMV part is just if the cashier say anything, if not I think you should also get it for 1 cent, like me.

FREE Case :)

Is it in mpeg-2, AVC? Are the HD previews actual trailers or just commercials?

The free case is the best part of the deal.

It's only supposed to be for "select Sony Blu rays" according to the ad and a sticker on the case, but I picked up Be Kind Rewind and So I Married An Axe Murderer and with those got two of the Hancock discs for free.

Well I went by my local BB today and to my suprise, I was able to get this preview disc FREE! Yes FREE. I gave the clerk the disc. She scanned it. I gave her a $1. She said "You don't have 1 cents?" She gave me my dollar back, and I walked out with the disc. Thanks for posting.

The Sneak Peek PQ was amazing! I hope its that good when it is released on BD. And the free case was great, I used it to replace one of my cases I really messed up.

Not at the local Best Buy. :(

Hopefully they will have them for the sequels, HANCOCKED 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO and HANCOCK 3: COCKHARDER.

I always thought the sequel would be called 'FOOTCOCK' but that's just me.

enjoy two hours of boring philisophical debate in the highly touted sequel:

HANCOCK: RELOADED.

Bummer! Local BB say you have to purchase a BD in order to get it free.

That sucks. My local BB let me have it for a penny. The Hancock preview was nice and the PQ definitely looks impressive.

Did anyone else notice the preview AR appeared to be 1.85:1 while the official AR is listed as 2.35:1? Just thought that was odd.

Posted a while back in the deals section, but a great deal that all should take note if needing cases on the cheap.

I noticed the next day 100's of these were down to just a handful. Guess word spread fast. :)

I don't like bumping these old threads, but I just picked up 3 more of these cases today for 2 cents. It's worth checking your local BB if you're still interested in some almost free cases.

Yup. What's great is you can take advantage of the "Buy a blu-ray get Hancock disc free" offer Best Buy has on it, so buy them in 2's. That's why the above got three for 2 cents. Awesome deal.

That reminds me of the upcoming sequel to Denzel Washington's movie The Great Debaters.....its called the Master Debaters ;)
