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. |
The Specials**Be Careful! Body of Lies (1-disc) is being released this week in both OAR & MAR versions! Get the right one!
Why—now that almost all televisions being sold are 16:9—are releases still being put out in butchered 4:3 releases? Why?
--I know I listed the SD version of Hounddog a week or two ago. It is on all my lists, however, again this week. The Blu-ray version is, apparently, due next week. Craziness.
