Season 3 DVD Best Buy package now available?

Monday, August 27th, 2007

OT reader Chappa reports the following:

Today I was at my local Best Buy and they had Season 3 out!!! I purchased the gift set for $49.99 that includes a mini-Dwight Schrute bobblehead, Dundie Award, Welcome Aboard Letter and of course Season 3 of The Office.

1. The Dundie looks pretty much like the one in the show. It is about the same size as the DVD itself and looks really authentic.

2. The letter is printed on Dundle Mifflin stationery and is the letter employees received after The Merger. It also contains 16 general rules of the office.

3. The mini bobblehead is pretty much the same as the one sold on NBC.com.

4. The box is the usual Dunder Mifflin paper box with a few fake stickers on them. One reads “Hello my name is Future Dwight (Level Orange).” Another is “Beets, Bears, Battlestar Galactica.” “Scranton or Bust” is another one.

5. Now to the DVD set. The inside front packaging is the same picture of the NBC.com website. It all looks like a cork board with various pictures and messages on it. All the DVDs look like graphing paper with a paper clip bent to form the numbers.

I got the box too. I love my dundie award. I just wish it had a one of the categories inscribed on it. Like Phylis’ “Bushiest Beaver” or Pam’s “Longest Engagement”.
A different Dundie in every box.

I snuck out of work on my break to go to Best Buy and get the gift set. It is AWESOME!! I LOVE IT! The bobble head is pretty small, but it’s nice, not like a plastic little toy.

It’s a good day.

lol

Does anybody know how big the mini Dwight bobblehead is that comes with the BestBuy deal?

Thanks,

The Target Special Edition with the Dunder Mifflin brown cover and the Paley Q&A sounds great. I bought Season 2 last year @ Target for the booze cruise blog (which I still rewatch over and over) so buying S3 there is worth it. I just can’t justify buying that set @ Best Buy when I know it will just collect dust, sounds cool but not worth another $10-15.

At the best buy I work at, we accidently put out the new season of Samurai Jack early because the box was not marked with a street date.. we sold one copy and were threatened with a lawsuit, serious stuff.

And, having worked in a bookstore, I can attest that this can be very serious. It can even result in publishers no longer shipping to a particular place.

Last year I couldn’t decide which special edition set to buy (Target or Best Buy) so I bought both! Don’t regret it…I took the day off work and was parked outside the store a few minutes before they opened, assuming that everyone else that was there wanted The Office too, but they didn’t.

Definitely one of the best shows on TV. I’m going to have to buy this asap!!!

Target Edition or Best Buy Edition?!? Oh this is so hard! “That’s what she said.” I’ll buy the Best Buy one for myself and the Target one for my girlfriend thus resulting in her thanking me :) So it’s a “win-win-win, we all win. Me too.”

my birthday is on the 4th as well! I don’t think it gets any better than a brand new office dvd set and lots of cake!

Sometimes stores release things on accident before their release date. Just like when Harry Potter 6 came out and a few drugstores in Canada accidentally released them a week early. Stores usually get shipments of DVD’s and so on early and some employees make the mistake of stocking them before the release date. Simple as that.

Shoot, I wonder if it was MY “southern Massachusetts” Best Buy! I should’ve gone the other day haha.

does anyone have a picture of the target deluxe set? also, how long was that q&A session from paley?

Still not buying it.

yea the same thing happened to me at Wal-Mart with a new album. There were a couple copies on the shelf so my buddy called me and we both bought one. No one else had it for another week. But I would much rather have gotten The Office Season 3.

Cherzzz that might be because it hasn’t been released yet, you might HAVE to do it after midnight on 9/4.
