Wal-Mart has em for $18ish... as much as I dislike Wal-Mart I would rather go there than Worst Buy.

When I go to the U.S. I usually go there and I never had a bad experience... anything I should be careful about next time?

I've personally had bad and good experiences at Best Buy.
Buying our new TV. Bad. You would think when you are spending over $2000 they would give you the star treatment. Not so. Just pushed us around really, took forever, really bad sales people, bad taste.
My wifes laptop. It's both good and bad. Bad in the fact that she had to go through 5 laptops, the majority of the time not even having one because it was "in the shop", before they would let her get a desktop. Good because that warrenty plan really payed off.
Buying games and moves. Good. Never had a problem here. Just get the stuff and get out.
So I would say that Best Buy is good for DVDs, Software, and other small items, but not so good for the more expensive stuff, TVs, high end cameras, computers, etc.

I actually buy my DVDs at Target because Best Buy is usually 5 to 10 dollars more expensive.
I'll tell you why Best Buy might be an attractive option for us mexicans. They just started to accept mexican credit cards offering a No-interest rate, 6-month payment deal. This is actually very good for us because that's usually what stops us from buying big stuff over there. Now we can get the big TV or fridge 40% cheaper than in my country and with the commodity of paying it in 6 months with no interest.

I would think it would be cheaper in Mexico, not more expesive. I have a BB card, so I can do 6 months same-as-cash for anything over $299.

Cheaper? Not at all! Everything that is not mexican-made is more expensive because of the 20% - 25% import tax fee. Plus they charge more because they can get away with it.
Examples:
- A new Nintendo DS goes for the equivalent of $200 USD
- A new Sony PSP goes for the equivalent of $350 USD
- Gamecube games go for about $75 USD (And they don't care if it's a greatest hits or if the game is so old... you have to pay that even for Luigi's Mansion!)
The only place where you are able to buy games and DVDs at a discount is SAM's Club or CostCo. The difference is that DVDs are Region 4 coded so instead of buying: "The Flintstones: The Complete First Season" you get "Los Picapiedra: Primera Temporada Completa"... and that's just wrong.
