So, I think I'll preorder using all these offers, if CC allows all of them.

The salesman said they had received "a pile" of them earlier (the Dublin California store had received 4, so the Tracy store had probably received a similar number).

We hunted around for a little bit and found one up on the top shelf (the high shelf with all of the extra boxes) and he had to get the roll-around ladder to get it. It was their last one. $799. They also had several LG 100's for sale at $999 (ouch) but I didn't see any 200's.

I did buy the EW. I never buy the EW, but I made an exception in this case (4-years for $80). They didn't accept the 10% coupon since it expired on Sunday.

So I am off to the users forum.

Just so everyone knows who purchased it from best buy across the country, the player will come with 4 free movies instantly in the store. The only problem is they do not know which movies are available as the player is so new they dont have the list yet. The only two that I could find that instantly came off the price were Superman and 300. When they ring in the player, have them ring up the movies after that. There will be an instant credit. Since they could not find 2 more movies that worked and they had no list, they ended up letting me choose 2 non-new release titles. So, I got 4 movies and the player with my 12% off coupon. Great deal. If you already bought the player, try going back and have them ring in your receipt and then the movies. It should still work. Worth a shot at least.

Nope, it doesn't apply to pre-order items. I know because I tried it.

I ordered from BBFB last Thursday and I am still "in process". However, the UPS guy disagrees as it was on my step when I got home.

Hopefully I can order one then and pick up on the 26th. I just don't understand how BBFB had them in stock and shipped before the stores had them. That does not make sense to me. Congrats to all of you that have received your players already.
