I haven't seen the commercials, but I can imagine what they're like.

"Gotta catch 'em all!"

"Collect all 6 works of art!"

"Kiki will cry if you don't give us money!"

Meh, the only one's I want to own are Castle in the Sky and Nausicaa, so this deal means nothing to me.

You know, I wish they would have added Princess Mononoke to that list, as that's one I gave away not too long ago. Atleast I don't have to buy 'em all at once, I'll go with The Cat Returns first.

I saw the Nausicaa trailer the other night right before InuYasha. Anyway, good deal. I don't have Kiki and I planned on buying all three. I hope Best Buy does what they did for the first wave where you buy two of the dvd's and get the third free. I bought them seperate.

Unfortunately, I already have all three -___-; I doubt they'd let you use this promotion on their future releases, huh.. :\

Me too, however, since I plan on getting the three latest releases at some point in time, I'll give one of my cousins the free DVD.

I spotted a Nausicaa ad on the WB during Smallville.

I haven't seen the ads either. Is it true that everybody is eligible for this offer, or is there some hidden catch (such as having to live in the USA, which I don't)?

proof of purchase for the 3 DVDs must be sent to Buena Vista Home Video, and then BVHE will send out the selected (customer's choice) DVD.

Fat chance. I'm not butchering 3 Ghibli DVD covers for Castle in the Sky. I'd rather pay full price for 4 normal DVD covers.

Now if the proof of purchase were inside the case, I might be up for that. Anyone know?

The proof of purchase is always above the barcode on the back.

Not true for all DVDs. Some proof of purchase is located inside the case as a cut-out from the booklet/paper attached to the back of the front cover. Or it comes from a little tab located somewhere inside.

I haven't seen these "buy 3 and get another" ads either. But I suspect this is an offer that only applies to US residents.

I have seen an ad for the release of The Cat Returns though, on Life network (it seemed weird, because it was during one of their reality wedding shows - "Exchanging Vows" I think).
