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.
"LP" in the RoundUp table means a store’s Sunday flyer says "Low Price". That means I could not locate a definite price for the item, and the ad is all I have to go on. Retailers use these phrases in advertisements so that they do not violate MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) agreements with the studios. Doing so can cost them thousands or even millions of dollars in co-op advertising funds.
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, 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, as always, Circuit City does not guarantee their sale prices in Hawaii. |
The Specials**BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL! Crank AND
The Illusionist are available in
both OAR and MAR versions...
get the correct one !
--I believe it is safe to say that The Night Listener will be a available for $19.99 at many retailers and e-tailers. It might be the first time in RoundUp history a title has clocked in at the exact same price at all five locations!
--At Best Buy, 2 FREE HD-DVDs (World Trade Center and Jet Li’s Fearless), instantly, with the purchase of Toshiba HD-DVD player Model HD-A2 ($499.99).
--A 2/$25 deal @ Best Buy! Buy any TWO of the following THREE DVDs and get the two DVDs for $25 ($16.99 apiece): High School Musical: Remix Edition, Cheetah Girls 2, Hannah Montana: Livin’ the Rock Star Life.

--Circuit City has an EXCLUSIVE FREE SYRINGE INK PEN (reminiscent of the Ice Pick pen in that long ago edition of Basic Instinct?) with the purchase of Crank on DVD.
