Weekly RoundUp 5/4/04 (1 Viewer)

[Bob Pierce]

One more thing: I just noticed that "The Animation Show, Volume 1" is coming out this week (I hate it when something gets released that's not in DVDPricesearch's database, and I'm blindsided!). Looks cool! Any insight out there on what it's going to go for in the B&M's? Amazon has it for $24.95.

Thanks!

[Dome Vongvises]

Thanks, Mike.

Just The Last Samurai for me.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Bob: This is kinda like a Twilight Zone week for me. Never heard of this. Don't see anything at Best Buy or Circuit City on it. The Amazon description does, indeed, make it sound interesting. Sorry. Can't help.

 

[Greg S]

Thanks for the Roundup Mike.

Just Last Samurai for me and I already preordered the Marx Brothers set for the wife (huge fan).

So brown.

 

[Tommy G]

Great job, Mike. Best of Abbott and Costello vol. 2 and A Night at the Opera for me. Pre-ordered both of these though so no trekking out to the B&M's for me.

 

[Randy Korstick]

Oh Man! This is bankruptcy week for me like most of this month will be:

Marx Brothers Collection
Abbott and Costello Vol. 2
Ma & Pa Kettle Vol. 2
Threes Company Season 2
Last Samurai
Battleground

I Guess these will have to wait until later unless I can get a second job:

Herbie Rides Again
Herbie goes to Monte Carlo
Strongest Man in the World
Now you See Him, Now you Don't
Road Movie Collection

 

[Zen Butler]

Party of Five Season 1 is it for me.


have to wait on:
Last Samurai
Flying Leathernecks

 

[Dillon*G]

I was just wondering,why dosen't the roundup include Sam's Club prices anymore?

 

[Joshua Clinard]

Don't have the money for The Herbie movies this week, but I Price Matched Uptown Girls at Wal*Mart. The guy made a mistake and took off an extra 3 dollars, so I got it for 6.48. That was the best deal I've ever gotten on a DVD. Thanks for the heads up!

[Valerie G.]

Does any one know how much Walmart and Sams Club will be on Gilmore Girls: The Complete First Season?

How about Fry's Electronics? Anybody got any idea what their price will be?

 

[EricSchulz]

Walmart does not have a set price. They tend to lower their price to be in line with local competition. It depends on what stores around your local Walmart are going to be charging.

 

[Alex S]

I saw the Marx Brothers Collection at Costco for $38.99.

 

[Andrea W]

The Last Samurai was $15.18 at my Wally World.

 

[Richard Gilmore]

Woohoo!! Thanks, Alex S.! Now making a stop at Costco on the way home!

 

[Alex S]

You're welcome Richard.

 

[Kevin_Lodge]

Costco also has Party Of Five - Seaosn 1 for $29.99

 

[Randy B A]

I picked this up there also. But be careful, several of the sets including the one I almost purchased had two of the Room Service/AT the circus discs and did not have Go West/the Big Store. So look carefully, I alerted the manager to pull the bad ones off the shelf at the San Diego/Morena blvd Costco. I also got the Party of Five set for $29.99 (the GF will be happy)

Also I could not find Abbott and Costello vol 2 at Costco or circuit city. Oh well I will be off to Best Buy to get that and Three's company season 3 and Last Samarai


Later, Randy B A

 

[Phil Tomaskovic]

Anyone know what other rebate titles are at FYE besides Last Samurai???

Also in the Chicago Tribune today, there was a full 2 page centerfold ad for Last Samurai. Not for any particular store, just that the dvd was available today. Never saw any ad this size for a dvd. It compared with new CHristmas movie releases.
