Got to circuit city last night to return all 5 HD DVDs I purchased from the "Buy 3, get 2 Free" Offer in December.

Here is the script from the conversation.

<Me> Can I return these movies for a refund if I have the receipt and haven't opened them? The announcement of Warner Brothers made me want my $95 back from the three I purchased.

<Associate> Sure, that's no problem. Hmmmmm....you bought this under a Special Offer didn't you?

<Me> Yes I did, is that a problem? Will I still get my refund?

<Associate> Well, yes, you will, BUT, you won't get any 'ADDITIONAL' money for the two you got Free. You'll just get $0.06.

<Me> I understand, since they were free when I bought the other three, I didn't pay for them

<Associate> True, but they are yours Free, or actually for $0.06, so why don't you keep these two and if you don't want them, sell them at a Pond Shop and make some money on them.

<Me> Ummmmmmmmmmmm.....OOOooooooooooooo Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Got my receipt, whistled while I walked out the door, then RAN to my car and took off before they changed their mind...LOL.


Ok, but here is the deal, and here is how I got them free. I really didn't get them free. After looking at the original receipt, they charged me $0.03 a piece for the two "Free" ones, or $0.06 total. So, when I took them all back, it didn't show up as I got them free....it showed up that I payed $0.06 for them. So, had I given those two back, I would have received a whopping $0.06 back, so I kept them for 6 cents. The two were The Kingdom and The Shooter.

I'd give you $20 shipped for both. That's quite nice of the dude to just say "you should keep them actually" than just taking them regardless. Looks like he was looking out for you.

technically it is free because HD DVD forum already paid them for it.

LOL!!!!!!! My favorite SNL skit.

Sorry, was typing fast and not thinking what in the world I was trying to say. POND shop is where we get our Minners in WV :D

Yeah, the guy didn't have to say anything to me and I never would have known the difference. In all reality, I did pay for those two HD DVDs, but only $0.06.

I'll be keeping these two.
