Tony: You've got the disc in hand?

 

[ScottJH]

Both sides are single layer.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Guess I read your first post too quickly, Scott! I read your first post to say: "the widescreen side is single layer, fullscreen is two, though." Instead of "the fullscreen is too, though."

Sorry for the confusion.

 

[ScottJH]

Mike,

I would be skeptical of the PQ on LMS. My reasoning is that Napoleon Dynamite was in the same boat. The first release of ND was also double sided/single layer. For the 2 disc SE of ND they went with a single sided/double layer and ditched the fullscreen version. IMO the 2 disc had much improved PQ, less ringing and more detail.

 

[TonyD]

yes i do.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Looked at it? (See Scott's comments above re: PQ concerns).

 

[Bonnie*F]

nothing for me this week.
As usual, thanks for all the work Mike and Pat.

 

[Jesse Skeen]

:rolleyes

 

[TonyD]

LMS and the new wicker man are two of the worst in terms of pq i have seen recently.

lmn was blurry and bad EE.
wicker man had ne EE that i could see but the image was blurry and had stuff moving all over the place.
mosquito noise.

The grid says Best Buy has Walt Disney sets for $29.99 but the sale listing down further says $24.99

 

[Mike Frezon]

Arnie: Good catch! $24.99 is right for the WDTs at BB. Sorry!

Mike retreats to the grid to make correction...

In the past Costco has had the Walt Disney Treasures releases for a good price. Is anyone planning on stopping by there Tuesday morning?

 

[WillG]

Does anyone know if Costco will be having any kind of instant rebate for "The Simpsons" S9. I believe they did for the last couple of seasons.

 

[Tony J Case]

No word on these from Costco yet? Phooey! That means an extra stop on the way home for me.

 

[Jay*W]

Tony and Chris,

The Treasures and True Life Adventures were each $19.89 at my Costco.

Many thanks, as always, to Mike for his efforts on our behalf!

Jay

 

[Jay*W]

One more Costco price for everyone -- $24.09 at my Costco for the new Hogan's Heroes set and the same price for each of Gomer Pyle, USMC and the final season of The Andy Griffith Show.

 

[Tony J Case]

Sweetness! That streamlines my trip homewards then (provided that mine has the goods too).

Thanks - to both of you.

 

[Chris S]

Costco comes through again! Thanks for the heads up Jay!

 

[Mike Frezon]

If anyone scopes out the Disney Treasures prices at BJs Wholesale Club...it would be MUCH appreciated!

I sure would love it if they came even CLOSE to the Costco prices! I can never even be sure they are going to show up there , though. :frowning:

 

[James D]

$29.89 with a $10 instant rebate taken off at the register for a total of $19.89. They only had the Lisa head though.
