Best Buy: 50% Off Entire Stock of Anime

Post by TriforceCaptre » Thu Mar 05, 2009 6:26 pm

I apologise if this isn't something that's considered worthy of it's own topic on these forums, but I figured some people here could use the info.

Like the title says, Best Buys all across the country are eliminating their supply of anime and everything is now at 50% off. So if you're still planning on buying those orange bricks, the GT sets or the DBZ movies (or any other anime you're into) now would be an excellent time to scoop them up for super cheap. Not every store is doing this, though I'd say a majority of them are. So you'll have to check in with the one nearest you to make sure.

I myself picked up the first Death Note box set (regular price $50. I paid $25) and DBZ movies 3 and 4 (regular price $20. I paid $10).

It's actually a little less than 50% of the stores that are having this sale.

It's cool, I just didn't want people to lynch you when their local stores were all coming up devoid of said sale. Sadly, my area appears to be doing pretty well I suppose, as none of the stores within a fair mileage are having this clearance.

I live in Allentown, PA, which is about 25 minutes away from the Quakertown store (which just recently opened, actually). I went there today to check it out. They still have a pretty good amount of stuff there, including every DBZ season boxset and several of the movies for $20 and $10, respectively (after the discount). It's a good deal. Fortunately, the two stores I frequent (one near Allentown and another in Harrisburg) are both continuing to carry anime, so when DBKai comes out (and the inevitable dub of the second FullMetal Alchemist anime), I'll be in the right place to pick them up without using the net.

In the time it took to find, copy and paste, edit, then post, you could have just said "They are still going to sell anime."

A.) Find? It's literally a handful of posts up the page.

B.) Hitting "Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V" and clicking post actually takes less time than typing that.

C.) "They are still going to sell anime" isn't an entirely correct statement, hence the link.

In closing...what's your point? :P

Best Buy and Future Shop in Canada should do this. They've got single releases for 2004 for $40 still.

Maybe, but if it was a post on another page I'd have no problem. When it's the second one in the thread, which is all of one page, then it becomes a "reading is fun, kids" issue :P

Think what you want.

I'm all caught upon my dragonball releases as of now, so I'll probably use this as an opportunity to get of few of the Yu Yu Hakusho sets.

I had no luck getting Death Note Box Set 1, but I picked up Bleach Box Set 2. I'll probably have to pick up another copy of DBGT Season 1 since my roommate is a fucking clumsy-ass.

Does anybody know if these stores have a website and if they ship overseas? I guess this credit crunch is doing a little good after all......

They do have a website but I'm almost 100% sure that the sale doesn't apply there.

Crap, my Best Buy is doing it...

I wish I'd known this last night when I went to Wal-Mart and bought GT Season 2 full price. >.<
