Apparently, the sale is still going on, as of this morning. The Best Buy
website lists _Lawrence of Arabia_ Superbit at $9.99:

An interesting thing happened to me when I clicked on _store availability_
for _Lawrence of Arabia_ Superbit. After entering my zip code, the website
claimed that the 4 closest stores had no copies of this title available.
However, the store that is 2 miles from my house actually had 2 copies on
the shelf, one priced at $9.99 and the other priced at $21.99. (All Superbit
titles scan at $9.99, regardless of the sticker price.) Many of the Superbit
titles on the shelf still had the regular price sticker, so this probably
kept a lot of customers from buying them.

If your local Best Buy doesn't have the titles you want, go to the Sony
Superbit site for a complete list of titles and then order them from Best
Buy online. Sony seems to be selling most of the Superbit titles for $21.99.
_Panic Room_ was listed at $8.99, but I also saw this title in the Wal-Mart
bargain bin for $5.50.
