Re: Weekly RoundUp 4-8-2008
Knowing CC, they'll probably stock 1 copy of the 2-disc and 20 of the 1-disc, so most folks won't have the choice anyway.
BTW, Costco also has a Sweeney Todd exclusive, a hardcover behind-the-scenes book. At least I *think* it was Sweeney Todd.

True, that.
There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!

Blu-ray $34.99

I Can't believe they still try to get that much for the PSP Version, with the PSP Slim enjoying a Boon of Sales now you'd think they'd rethink their Stupid Price point. Make it a $12.95 Retail so it streets about $9.95 or less that's the price point for a UMD Movie

THAT is a market I have never come close to understanding. I agree with you 100%, Dave. I would think many people who might watch a movie on a PSP can also probably download that movie onto their iPod. Since movies are incidentals to the game-console-at-hand, I would think "affordable" would move a lot more units. I'll be surprised if it's a format that lasts much longer.
But, as I said, I don't really understand the market.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 4-8-2008
Given my experience with the 2-disc of "The Mist" at CC, their online price does not always match their in-store price. That week, they had the 2-disc priced at $19.99 online, but it rang up at $24.99 regular price in the store. They did end matching the web price, though, after I brought it to their attention.

Their flyer this week sure makes it look like they mean $15.99 for the 2-discer of Walk Hard. They could argue the point, but based on usual techniques, the flyer would lead me to believe that the on-line pricing situation is correct.
I am anxious for someone to report-in who has been to CC today.

They didn't have either version of Walk Hard at the Circuit City in my area. If they only had the one disc, I could buy into a conspiracy theory but as of now, I'll just figure it's a usual CC screw up. 
And the exclusive version of Walk Hard at Target only has a calendar. The bonus disc they're referring to in the ad is just disc two. The sticker on the packaging is much less vague than the ad.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 4-8-2008
So CC had the two disc at the store in Albuquerque, and it was 15.99. It rang up that way, and I didn't have to tell them the price. They also gave me a pass to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall early for doing some online survey.
Another thing that was strange was that it seemed like they didn't even have the 1 disc set at the store. All I saw was a large display with the special edition.

Travis, how much is it selling for at Target? My local Circuit City is far away from my Target/Best Buy, and I'm wondering if I need to make the trip out there!

Re: Weekly RoundUp 4-8-2008
I bought The Water Horse at Target. Walk Hard was 16.99 at my local Target. So it's only like a dollar difference.

Kevin: The 2-disc Walk Hard was $16.99? Same as the 1-disc @ Target?
