The Disclaimer




Standard disclaimer: All prices are taken from the websites of each chain, or from their printed Sunday advertisements. All prices are subject to change by each chain. Prices and inventory in-store may or may not match the website price.
I, obviously, cannot include EVERY title released in a given week in the RoundUp. The titles included are those that I am interested in...as well as those which I consider will be of interest to a majority of consumers (and sometimes I’ll miss one!). I don't get paid for this, and I don't have the time to list every DVD. So, please don't complain! If there is a title not included in the RoundUp that you want to see, PLEASE just look it up yourself, and be nice enough to post and share the results with everyone!
Note that I cannot include Wal-Mart/Sam’s Club prices in the RoundUp. They set prices at individual stores based on nearby competition, so there is no way I can say here what price you'll find at YOUR local Wal-Mart/Sam’s Club location. And, Circuit City is still out of business...even in Hawaii (where they NEVER guaranteed their prices anyway).

[Adam Gregorich]

Thanks Mike. A slow week for me. Journey to the Center of the Earth from Twilight Time. Matt's review cemented that decision, plus it looks like the 3000 copies are moving fast.

 

[Ashly Yeo]

Thanks Mike for another WRU! I will be picking up the Underworld: Awakening 3D Combo Pack from Best Buy as it has been revealed that it is a steelbook! One other possible pick-up is The Front Line...

 

[Charles Smith]

I pre-ordered the two Twilight Times way back when, and that absolutely positively has to be it for me this week. I know there's plenty more to come....

 

[TravisR]

Thanks as always, Mike!

 

[Sam Posten]

Not sure it was supposed to be that way ornotbut my BB had Immortals with a sign that said 19.99, same as amazon, but it rang up at $30. They fixed it for me..,

 

[ScottJH]

We Bought a Zoo & The Descendants on Blu-Ray are $11.99 each @ Best Buy. Trade in 2 DVDs brings them down to $6.99 each.

 

[David Norman]

We Bought a Zoo & The Descendants on Blu-Ray are $11.99 each @ Best Buy. Trade in 2 DVDs brings them down to $6.99 each.

There is a $5 Manufacturers coupon for The Descendents at coupons.com so possible buy at $1.99. It's still YMMV since some BBY will not allow adding a MQ with an U&S, but they really are supposed
to treat MQ as cash. There already have been several reports of successes at $2 on other forums as well as a few who have been shot down initially. Appealing to teh BBY CSR forum have ofen resulted in refunds and extra Rewards Certs for the hassle.

 

[Mike Frezon]

A link to Richard's review of the Blu of The Big Heat has been added to the OP.

 

[Citizen87645]

Just posted the review for Chuck Season 5 on Blu-ray.

I've been able to convince my local BB's CS folks to take MFR coupons w/ the U&S on a couple different occasions, including this one, but yeah, they definitely do resist and take some bit of pushing.

Picked up both The Descendants and West Side Story (finally) that way yesterday.

Too bad I already did the U&S for To Kill A Mocking Bird and Deer Hunter last week before Universal apparently reactivated their $3 MFR coupon giveaway on their anniversary celebration site.

And there is now a link in the OP. Thanks, Cameron!

 

[Malcolm R]

My FYE had Underworld: Awakening on blu-ray for $21.99 with a $5 mail-in rebate, final cost of $16.99. Backstage Pass members take off another 10%.

 

[TonyD]

Best Buy has a steel book package for Awakening 3-D

 

Can you use the Upgrade and Save coupon after the 5/12 date for bringing in the DVD or does the coupon also expire on 5/12?

 

[TonyD]

Tomorrow is the last day out can upgrdade AND SAVE.

 

[David Norman]

Can you use the Upgrade and Save coupon after the 5/12 date for bringing in the DVD or does the coupon also expire on 5/12?

Usually the coupons expire the same day as the trade in program so use them by Saturday closing time or you'll probably lose the coupon.
There is a slight possibility that you could save the coupon/receipt and use it for the next sale since by report I don't think the UPC are different, but I'll leave it to you whether that's really an OK thing to do
and most clerks don't check the dates that closely

 

I was actually gonna try to use it Tuesday but apparently that won't work. Thanks for the input guys.
