Hi,

Best Buy has the three seasons of Star Trek: The Original Series, on Blu-ray for $39.99!

Is the $39.99 for all three or $39.99 each?

According to their site, it's each.

They do have a 3 pack for $279.99 though!

They do this all the time...which annoys me no end.  Why would I spend $280 for the set, when I can buy them individually for $40 each?  $40 x 3 = $120, not $279.99.

They had the Bourne trilogy on sale, last week, for $15 each.  I was going to buy them, but they only had two of the three.  They did, however, have the box set...for $89.99.

It is odd I agree but I can see how it would happen with automatic stock level analysis etc.; as it happens in the UK we've got the opposite with this with each title going for about £9 at the cheapest but the 3-pack going for £18... it just pays to keep a sharp lookout. For example I was looking for the cheapest prices of Weeds on DVD for Seasons 1 and 2 and they were about £11 each... and I then happily noticed the combioned 1&2 pack was under £13

Unfortunately, I already have all three.

Why is this unfortuate? You have them, you have been able to enjoy them, you've all ready paid for them, now it saves you $120+tax.

Sure, maybe you paid more for them, just as a new car costs more when it is first released, but you get it and get to use it. If you can afford it, why deny yourself the pleasure of it? If you cannot afford it... then you wait for the price to drop (which it always does).

I too paid more than $40 each for mine. I think they were $53 to $65 on Amazon when they were first released, but compared to $118 each (suggested retail price) with no sales tax on my purchase (not so at Best Buy), and the time the family has had to watch them, I regret nothing.

I have been waiting for such a sale to pick up Season 3.  Thanks for the tip.  Greenie for you.

I think I'll be getting season 1 & 3 (already have 2).  I was planning on picking one up this week, but at those prices I may be able to just get both of them.
