I used the site link to shop on Best Buy and even plugged the item # into the url for another UD link to Best Buy and it came up w/ the same url that's in the first post in this thread... so hopefully it's the same.
ZoomBoom- you should try it again. Hopefully they didn't sell out (and hopefully it wasn't a website fluke like the Tarzan thing from a while back).

My local Best Buy had three copies in store when I bought mine back in October. They still have two but they are $40 Canadian.

So this might sound like a silly question. Should I pick up this Edition or should I hold out on it. I am asking because this DVD orignaly came out before I even started purchasing DVDs. And is this ony in Online thing or can I go to the sotre and see if they have it?

I know always me and my questions.

Nothing silly's on the Disney forums!

I think you should order it...the item is currently on backorder so there's a 50% chance you will be able to get the item, but a 50% chance you won't and the order will be cancelled.
It's happened to me before but
most of the time, I've gotten the item.
$16.99 is a
GREAT deal..that's almost the same price for the 1-disc!
You
can check your local Best Buy (i've already called the 4 Best Buys in my area and currently none of them have it. Then again, I don't trust them since they're always busy chatting with each other rather than helping customers.

)
You're safer placing the order...but that's just my opinion.

so answer would be: "PICK IT UP!"
I do hope you'll be able to get the 2-DISC eventually..it's so much better than the 1-Disc...(mainly because of Bonus features!

Now It says
"In Stock Usually ships in 1 business day
Available for pickup at most stores" 
And the check out button doesn't work I guess I'll just have to try with my cousins computer tomorrow

. Is there a pop-up when you click checkout?

Nope; I didn't get a pop-up. The window that I had opened on TENG: CE was the same window when I clicked on "checkout."
Yea, apparently they changed the things from "5-7 days" to "1 day". I do hope they have it (Right MMP!

), because I would hate for some BB customers to be disappointed!
ZOOM, you should just try refreshing the Best Buy page.
Sure hope you're also able to get your hands on this precious 2-Disc!

Just ordered it, with tax and shipping was $19.64. Said it was on back order. Hopefully they'll come through. Last time something like this popped up at Best Buy was Tarzan. They never did come through on that one. But Tarzan was out of print and TENG is still in print.
