I, obviously, cannot include EVERY title released in a given week in the RoundUp[/COLOR]. 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!

Note that I cannot include Wal-Mart/Sam’s Club prices in the [COLOR= rgb(255, 0, 0)]RoundUp[/COLOR]. 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! I'm going to wait for Matt's review of Take me Home Tonight before I take the plunge on that. Some great sales this week on titles I already own (500 Days of Summer, Scott Pilgrim, and more)

 

[Mike Frezon]

I'm giving some serious thought to Amelie...and maybe Bridget Jones (for my wife).

 

[Adam Gregorich]

I have been caving and upgrading the bulk of my DVDs to BD. Bridget will happen, but not at $14.99...

 

[Jason_V]

I will finally, probably grab Despicable Me tomorrow at $14.99.

Somehow, I never ended up owning Bridget on DVD...so that one's easy for me.

But I DO have Amelie on DVD...but something about that $13.99 price is tempting. It's just a "pretty" movie--stunning visuals--that I think the upgrade to HD will be well worth it.

 

[Peter McM]

Want Amelie and Chocolat, but may wait for price to go lower.

 

[TravisR]

Nothing for me this week but thanks for the prices, Mike!

 

[Carlo_M]

Amelie and Chocolat for under $15 at Amazon? No brainer for me.

 

[timmytimmy]

That is a great price for Amelie, I don't think I can wait for it to eventually drop to $9.99. Just that for new releases, I still have a few Criterions that I will be looking for in the next few days. A wonderfully complete roundup as always, Mike, thanks for everything.

 

[ManW_TheUncool]

Thanks for another WRU, Mike.



I've got Amelie coming from the recent Deep Discount sale (for ~$11.70 shipped). Will probably add Chocolat and upgrade Bridget when their prices come down -- maybe at the $10 level as many such catalog titles seem to do pretty quickly these days.


Will probably pick up Beauty and the Beast and some other Criterions from the B&N sale in these next couple weeks -- I've got some Amex rewards points funded GCs earmarked for them.


Still need to get Rango from somewhere (w/ the $5 coupon).


Also, think I'm gonna see about making a run (probably to B&H) to pick up a Maxell BD laser lens cleaner to see if that will solve my problem w/ some playback issue I'm seeing on my Panny BD60 -- and maybe, it'll solve the problem w/ my old PS3 as well.

[EricSchulz]

I look at the titles listed and wonder...why all these doom and gloom reports of the drop in DVD sales? Ummmm, maybe because the highest profile title is Melrose Place! Just a "catch-up" week again! But there ARE a couple great titles being released soon that are getting me excited: Criterion's Island of Lost Souls and the Laurel And Hardy set just announced!

 

[Aaron Silverman]

I will be buying that Boston Bruins Blu when it hits the bargain bin. This post has been brought to you by the letter

 

[Matt Hough]

Thr review for Limitless can be found here.


I hope to have the review for Take Me Home Tonight up tomorrow evening.

 

[Matt Hough]

Take Me Home Tonight can be found here.

 

[TonyD]

Picked up Amelie yesterday at Borders clearance price for under $11, so that will be good for me this week.

 

[Craig S]

Was happy with getting Amelie from Amazon for $13.99, until I saw that Houston-area Fry's (and others, I assume) have it and this week's other Miramax/Lionsgate releases for - wait for it - $7.99!!!





At that price, went ahead and picked up Chocolat and Boy In The Striped Pajamas.

Prices should be good through Monday, so if you live near a Fry's, make haste and go get your Miramax Blu on!

 

[ManW_TheUncool]

Wow! I really need to move out to the West Coast just so I can hit Fry's now and then...


Well, I finally got around to dropping by BB this evening (just before store closing) and picked up the Rango BD for ~$10+tax (using BB's $5-off-$14.99 coupon *and* the $5 MFR coupon). Also ended up picking up Chocolat BD for ~$10+tax (using another BB $5 coupon). Didn't have time to pick up anything else -- will probably return in the coming week for some other ~$15 titles like Blues Brothers BD and maybe Bridget Jones if that's still ~$15.

Oh well, you can't win them all...

 

[Aaron Silverman]

Ouch, there were two Rango coupons? Dang. . .
