Thanks Kc, I appreciate it man! Besides Pj, NIN is the other band that I collect obssesively hence wanting 2 copies.. If there is any1 else that lives near a Best Buy that has either the Pretty Hate Machine Remastered for $5.00 or Telephantasm for $11-12.99 and would'nt mind picking it up for me, plz shoot me a pm. Wish I had some more$. They deffinitely have/had a few cool things. That live Petty set looks killer and ya gotta love The Chronic..
The two I wanted most, both Silversun Pickups albums, are now sold out. Killer prices for them, too.
Is that the 6LP version of S&M? That version is a bit pricier.
The 3LP version is $50, 6LP edition is $110. AfghanTwilight is correct, not special prices.
Now if they go half off at some point... (drool)

Hey friends, if ANYONE would be willing to hunt down and find me Mastodon's "Crack the Skye" LP for $6.99, I would:
A) Tell the world how awesome you were Paypal you immediately the $6.99
C) To offset shipping costs to me ($3-4 mediamail), I'll ship you PJ treats - lets say either a '03 xmas 10", a white Fixer 7", or a Spin Black Circle 7"?
D) I'll throw in a random rock LP that doesn't suck.
E) I'll draw you a picture of any PJ band member of your choice.
F) I'll give you a huge high-five and buy you a beer next time you're in Minneapolis.
I'm dying to hear this album on vinyl, it's a prog-rock masterpiece to me. It can be done, my man kasedoug helped a brother out already today. PM me and I'll respond with exclamation points.
It's so epic that I already got an email that my order (whatever wasn't on backorder) has shipped. I'll be spinning some hard shit, reggae, jazz, country and whatever other styles I bought in no time!
OP.....thanks for the heads-up!!! Some awesome deals to be had. I got to the party a little late but managed to pick up:
The National -- High Violet for $9.99
Jay Z -- The Blueprint for $4.99
A Tribe Called Quest -- The Low End Theory for $9.99
Elton John -- Goodbye Yellow Brick Road for $7.99 :shock:

got email too. Says I should have my order by 6pm today (Weds). Man, that was fast! I just ordered them Mon. nite
I was able to pick up quite a few good ones, especially Ben Harper's Live at Mars that I had been wanting for awhile. I almost pulled the trigger on that Tom Petty Anthology, that is crazy cheap for that set but now it and the Soundgarden one are on backorder for me. I still managed a nice score.
Thanks

After a hectic day at work yesterday I went back to the Best Buy well today and my wallet got pummeled....but my record collection made a nice spike :P !!!
For those looking to make purchases: First search by vinyl and then narrow your search on the drop down menu with "Best Selling" and "Price Low to High"......should save you time and eye bleed from staring at your computer screen.
damn...forgot to look for that Massey Hall...now backordered.... :evil:
It's my understanding you can still purchase the records listed as "Backordered" for the same cost and no shipping....they're just take a little more time to get to you.

Electronics retailer Best Buy announced it would close 50 big box locations in the U.S. as it refocuses its operations around mobile.
The company said it will launch 100 new mobile locations as it retools its domestic store format.
The announcement was timed with the company's fourth quarter report, where it sharply beat analyst expectations on the bottom line. Over the final quarter of 2011, revenue grew three percent to $16.6 billion while earnings per share hit $2.47.
However, analysts polled by Bloomberg had forecast top line results of $17.15 billion, some $500 million more than the company reported. The quarter also benefitted from an extra week in the company's fiscal calendar — excluding the week would mean revenue actually fell 1.1 percent. Shares were down 6 percent in the first minutes of trading.
The company saw same-store sales decline 2.3 percent during the period, highlighting its difficulties as the U.S. economy gained steam during the first few months of 2012. Best Buy saw weakness across the board, with sales suffering in gaming, notebooks, digital imaging and televisions.
Best Buy has rapidly been trying to turn its operations around as it has seen peers CompUSA and Circuit City fail. Consumers have been using its locations as a testing ground for products before making final purchases at competitors like Amazon and Walmart.
Acknowledging the change, Best Buy Chief Executive Brian Dunn said the company would vastly alter its strategy from its long time big box format to boost returns.
"These changes will also help lower our overall cost structure," Dunn said. "We intend to invest some of these cost savings into offering new and improved customer experiences and competitive prices — which will help drive revenue. And, over time, we expect some of the savings will fall to the bottom line."
Best Buy is targeting more than $800 million in cost savings by 2015, largely expected through layoffs and the aforementioned store closings. The targets are roughly split between corporate, retail and declines in costs of goods sold. The company will layoff 400 employees within its management and support channels.

All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.
Maybe it's so they can lower the other prices since this was such a huge success. I think Best Buy owes the OP a percentage...
Nice! Re-stocking

Fuck best buy.
I'm still feelin' burned from the 'Give Way' promo from the late 90's that never happened! Where are those CDs Best Buy, huh?!?!
not from what I can see. I went to the actual store today, and the shelves were pretty much clean.
I think they may have taken a few things down, although the Soundgarden is still there (online), but it says sold out online.
