For those of you who might be interested, Best Buy has Heavy Metal on Blu-ray for $ 14.99. It is a Best Buy Exclusive.

I pre-ordered it last week, and picked it up in the store also.

I was going to get The Last House on the Left Blu-ray, but apparently this store didn't get it in.

They have the most useless "know nothing" employees at this BB store in history. They're always doing nothing but standing around talking to each other, and I had to wait forever even to be waited on...and they weren't even busy!

Exactly why I go to the local store as little as possible.

I guess I've gotten lucky here as I haven't had much troubles with the employees in this area. In fact, on Sunday they had just about every exclusive title out except Almost Famous which was set to be on sale that day (the others weren't supposed to be on sale until today) so the guy looked it up on the computer and confirmed it was supposed to be out Sunday and that they had it in stock. He went into the back got all the copies they had and handed me one.

Katatonia, did you check Best Buy's website to see if they had it in stock? It could be they're in the back and just never got put out.

You can't even check which stores have it in stock, or even order it from their website right now:

Last House On The Left (1972) (Best Buy Exclusive)- Blu-ray Disc

I wonder if they had a distribution problem or a manufacturing delay. 

I don't think so, because many people on other forums are finding it in stores.

That sucks. What you could do is go in-store and, if yours is like mine, there should be a computer available for customers near the customer service area and just type in the film title there. Click the appropriate link and on top it will say how many of that title that store has in stock. I did this with Almost Famous.

Dude, your store is either in the Twilight Zone or Imaginationland. A computer you can use yourself? Employees that know stuff? Helpful? No happy funtimeing way, not at Best Buy!


Yesterday I asked about a blu ray, and a dude who first admited he didn't know what I was talking about, instantly changes his tune to "no, I didn't seee any in back, I looked earier for someone else". Really, cuz 10 seconds ago you had no idea what I was talking about, but now you had a moment of clarity and it all comes rushing back when I ask you to go take a look? Areschlochs!

I guess so () because I've had basically the same experience there since they opened several years ago (with maybe one or two exceptions). In fact, I remember the one and only time I shopped there on Black Friday (don't like the crowds so don't do it anymore) I was standing in line with items and forgot something and one of the employees actually went and brought it to me...

Man, I'd have to personally pay one of the employees here to go get something for me at this store. They always act like it's a chore to search for anything in the store or their computer system.

I know what you mean Kat, for a very long time the Best Buy here where I live was very good, but in the last year or so most of the employees that were worth or knew anything have seemed to have gone to greener pastures I guess. Now it seems they nothing but nimrods working there.

Rory, the store here used to be good for the first 5 or so years it was open. I think it opened here back in 2001-2002, or thereabouts. Back then they actually had well trained employees who were helpful and basically knew what they were doing. And then about 3-4 years ago, the store's quality took a major nosedive. Employees suddenly didn't know anything, and certainly weren't doing their jobs with any competence. Sometimes you'll run into an employee who is helpful and knows what they're doing, but it's rare.

If they even had a better DVD/Blu-ray selection at this store, I might stop in more...but it's slim pickings here anymore.

My friend took her computer in to their so-called "Geek Squad" a couple of years ago, and they couldn't even fix something simple. I then took a look at it for her, and it was just a virus that needed to be cleaned/removed from her system. It was simple and took hardly no time at all...yet they couldn't even handle that.
