But the $30 MIR online does NOT require the original UPC.

But it DOES require that you have an 'online order receipt', so you couldn't use that in conjunction with the 10% coupon nor the 20 DL discs (unless you somehow manage to talk them in to giving you the discs during an in-store pickup). $30 AR with 20 DL discs is a HOT deal. $40 AR with no DL discs from an online order is a lukewarm deal. I still have no idea what will become of this deal.

I still want to know where the 20 DL discs are going to come from

You mean 'why wouldn't the $20 rebate print out?' ? I'm assuming it will NOT print out. I'm assuming that the 20 DL discs on the in-store deal is the tradeoff for the $20 rebate for the online deal. It is probably going to come down to one or the other, not both. Hopefully I'm wrong though.

So where are the DL discs coming from? I think this may be some mistake, and not really DL, so I advise get in early as it may change sometime tomorrow. And please no phone calls to BB from the peanut gallery.

Here are all the DL discs that they have . . . I plan on walking to the register with 2 Verbatim 10 packs ($42 bucks work of DL)
$9.99 Fuji 3-Pack DVD+R DL Double-Layer Discs with Jewel Cases
$20.99 Verbatim 10-Pack DVD+R DL Double-Layer Disc Spindle
$32.99 Dynex 5-Pack 2.4x DVD+R DL Double-Layer Discs with Jewel Cases
$34.99 Memorex 15-Pack 2.4x DVD+R DL Double-Layer Disc Spindle
$79.99 Memorex 25-Pack 2.4x DVD+R Double-Layer Disc Spindle

That's really good advice on getting there early. Though I doubt that ad can be in such glaring error. Probably bait-and-switch if it is.

and I am not going to worry about the rebates . . . $50 in store for the drive and 20 DL discs is fine. If I get the $20, then even better. Ether way, warm to hot in my opinion.
Room Temp = $50 In Store AR no DVD's
Warm = $40 Online
Warmer = $30 In Store AR no DVD's or $50 In Store AR + 20 DL DVD's
Hot = $30 In Store AR + 20 DL DVD's

They will be packed in the morning too with all the XBox 360 shoppers, so I will go in and be right under the radar i think. They may even look at me funny buying a burner, when everyone else is getting XBoxes.

Exactly, I'm hoping they will just say "Fine, take any pack of 20-DL's you can find" LOL

I don't know which part of my first post you didn't understand. Once again:

Online deal: $40 after two MIR for the drive alone
In-store deal: $50 after one MIR and 10% coupon for the drive + 20 DL disks.

And if you read my previous post immediately before this one, you will see that I said if you can submit online the $30 MIR from the in-store receipt (without sending in the UPC), then you can double dip with Plextor $20 MIR (which requires the original UPC).

I'm not retarded, I don't need to be told the STATED deals in the ad and online. You said in your own first post that when you buy in-store, you send in the rebate that prints in the store, or be subject to rejection of your rebate. Unless you can provide proof that the in-store $30 rebate DOES NOT require the original UPC, this deal does not exist, as the $20 rebate requires the original UPC.

In my eyes the online 'deal' is not even a consideration, as you are then excluding the 20 DL discs AND the 10% off coupon. The only potential 'deal' I'm speaking about is the possible deal including both rebates, the 10% off, and the 20 DL discs.

this would make some good XMas presents . . . not sure if I want to give a present without the UPC, so I may eat the $20 rebate, so best case, $50 AR with DL DVD's (which I will keep or give to someone else).

This shows you did not read my original post.

If you get two, are you using two addresses for the MIRs?

That's why you should order online for instore pick-up. BTW, I drove by BB on my way in to work tonight, and there were already about 40 people in line camping out. I don't know how many X360 our local BB is getting.
That's what i was wondering too why folks were camping out at BB. Now i know it why.

BB has the the ad for 12/18 posted on their website now. No mention of 20 DL discs includes. Where did you get a scan of the ad listing the discs included in the deal?

also, since you are new . . . please don't call your store to verify this deal. it will only mess it up.

there are no DL discs - included in the box are 20 DVD - R 's

i just bought one 6 hours ago

"In-store rebates are valid on in-store purchases only. BestBuy.com rebates are valid with online purchases only."

so unless one could argue with the manager to get 20 Verbatim/Dynex DL
even the $30 deal (the best one can possibly get) with rebate hassle seems warm only

Oh, they'll surely be DVD-R discs. That's when it's going to get interesting with the manager.

The online low price guarantee reads:

"Low price guarantee:
If your product is available at a lower price online or in the store at the time of pickup, your credit card and/or Gift Card will automatically be adjusted to reflect the lowest available price."

So, when I get there I plan to use the 10% off coupon as well and have my price adjusted.


Anyone know if online orders for instore pickup can get price adjusted for "in-store only coupon"?
