Re: Weekly RoundUp 11-28-2006

Hey all you HD guys and gals out there!

Is this a milestone week with Smallville: S5 in HD? Seems to me that's the first TV series out in HD. Is that right?

I see a Sopranos season coming up in a couple weeks, too.

Yup.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 11-28-2006

I don't have any of the Superman movies. So I'll splurge for the collector's set.

Thanks Mike and Patrick.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 11-28-2006

The problems previously mentioned about the Superman set in this thread are being corrected.

Check it out here:

and here (starting at post 225):http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htf/...=246260&page=8

I'm sure everyone concerned about this already knows but I figured I'd post it anyway.

Anyone have any idea what Target will be charging for St. Elsewhere...presuming they carry it?

You really need to weigh in on your interest in the other titles, and if you really want to dig in to the extra features. I'm just not sure yet. I'll probably end up buying the box tho. Because I'm like that.

Yeah, but some of us managed to get The Ultimate box for under $50 shipped with the Barnes & Noble deal Patrick posted. So, yeah, for us it actually was worth it just for Returns and Donner Cut, plus the shiny box. And I actually want to watch the documentaries. So even if I never watch 1, 2 (theatrical), 3, or 4, it's worth it. But I'll watch 'em all, just for nostalgia.

And thanks for the update on the bad discs, Travis!

Yeah, Mike. I can tell ya!

Target has St. Elsewhere for $32.99.

So, it's either off to CC tonight...or to Wal-Mart for a CC pricematch (if necessary).

Re: Weekly RoundUp 11-28-2006

FYI - I bought Bones Season 1 at CC and it rang up as $14.99 with a $5 gift card (you pay $19.99).

Re: Weekly RoundUp 11-28-2006

Thanks, as always, Mike.

Ordered the American Girl collection for my (recently turned) 8-year American girl for Christmas. BTW Mike, thanks last week for the Macy's parade pokemon heads up. We happened to catch the Scooby balloon and the Pikachu balloon.

I'm in the same boat as Paul about Superman. I already have I and II and want the Donner cut of II and Returns. Do I buy just those or spring for the Ultimate collection? Decisions, decisions...

Re: Weekly RoundUp 11-28-2006

This is pretty cool. Just read about a promotion where you go to a local Papa Johns and buy a pizza and get a coupon for $3 off Superman Returns!

PapaJohns.com

They are also promoting a large 7-topping "Superman" pizza for $12.99.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 11-28-2006

Bought Superman Ultimate Kit for $59.99 at CC -- clearly a mistake but one that I understand was made with all their sets. Their ads show $69.99 but the tag on the box shows it at $10 less.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 11-28-2006

Mike (or anyone else that may know),

Do you know if the Supes Ultimate set is available at BJ's Wholesale Club? If so, for how much? Otherwise, I'll head to CC and see if I can get in on the same price "mistake."

I tried to pick up a copy at BB today when I bought Supes Ultimate and was planning to do a pricematch with CC. After a drone searched for several minutes, he informed me that it is an "online only" item (at least at my local store.) I imagine this will have a negative impact on overall sales. I ended up going around the block to CC and grabbed my copy of St. Elsewhere (they had several.) I can't wait to check it out tonight!

Also, I thought it was strange that all of the Ultimate Collections I saw at CC had hand-written $69.99 price stickers on them, but now, after reading the posts about the miss-price, it all makes sense. It looks like stores are correcting this on their own.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 11-28-2006

I was also able to get the Superman Ultimate boxset for $59 at CC.

I specifically went to customer service for the ring up because I thought they would be more will to adjust the price.

It came up as $70 so I had to point out the printed label for $60.

What helped my case, I think, was a nice dent in the metal case.

Ric: Sorry. Don't know. If you check it out...report back!

It has been reported over in the St. Elsewhere (Hill Street) thread over in TV/Software that many Best Buys are apparently not carrying St. Elsewhere today! That could be potentially disastrous news for the series.

I'm a little surprised nobody's done educated me on this. A quick check of my co-workers, however, revealed NOONE ELSE who was familiar with him! So, I guess I don't feel too bad about things.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 11-28-2006

Here are some other new release prices from Target that were not in the circular:
Bones S1: $39.99
Criminal Minds S1: $44.99
Joan of Arcadia S2: $44.99
St. Elsewhere: $32.99
A Star Is Born: $14.99

I'm surprised with all the talk about "Superman Returns" (just a rental for me...) that no one mentioned the PC/"portable device" download for $1.97 when you buy the physical DVD at Wal-Mart. According to HomeMediaRetailing.com it's apparently the first of many such promotions...

Not to knock anyone who is a fan of his but the only people that I've ever seen that like Dane Cook are fratboys and 20-something women seem to find him attractive/funny. Personally, I think he sucks.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 11-28-2006

I remember when the superman doc: look up in the sky.. at best buy.. the 2 disc set was suppose to be 19.99, but I found 3 of them at 9.99.

I got a great price on it.

If you don't mind an uneducated guess, then I'd say it's probably in the $63 range based on my having purchased it at Sam's Club for $63.88...

Re: Weekly RoundUp 11-28-2006

I've seen it mentioned before but it was such a good deal I'll mention it too. I stopped by the local Circuit City and saw season 1 of Bones for $19.99. I picked it up and figured I'd have to tell the cashier about the 19.99 shelf tag when I got there but it rang up at that price. That's half of what other places are selling it for this week. I'm guessing it's an error in the computer system and will likely be corrected in the near future so grab it at that price while you can!

I was going to pick up the Superman Ultimate Collection at Best Buy since I have some Monopoly game cash to spend before 12/2 but they were all out of them when I got there. I ended up buying Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut to tide me over until I get my hands on the Ultimate Collection since I REALLY want to see it.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 11-28-2006

All I'm going to buy this week is Clerks II since I already have the Superman Ultimate Box Set coming from Amazon.
I'm just so mad about those bonus discs. I really want the one that comes with the 2 disc Superman Returns at Target. I'm a HUGE Superman fan and I really want to hear those 1940 radio shows. I just can't fathom buying another copy of the movie just for those extras.
Anyone want that movie but doesn't want that bonus disc? If ANYONE is planning on buying the movie at target and is willing to get rid of that disc...let me know.
I need it to complete my collection.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 11-28-2006

Ok, Mike, here's my report...

Went to BJ's. The Ultimate Supes set was 69.99. I decided to head over to CC, thinking maybe I could snag that mismarked 59.99 price. When I got there the sign said 69.99. Unfortunately, their were no copies on display. I asked a clerk if they had it (thinking maybe some were in the back). He tried to pawn off the Chris Reeve Collection on me, but I told him that wasn't it. He said he would do some further checking. 5 minutes later, he's at the cash register. "So, um... I guess you don't have any, right?"

"Um... Oh, yeah... sorry."

So I went across the street to Best Buy. Guess what? Sold out!

I then returned to BJ's!

Now if I can only find the energy to start watching it!

Yea I don't find him too funny either but supposedly his latest CD was pretty good. The first time I heard of him was on HBO's Tourgasm. He also hosted one of the first Saturday Night Lives this year and was reportedly (according to my wife) dating Jessica Simpson.

I laughed at that remark Chris because when I asked my co-workers if they knew who he was...the only one who had even a glimmer of recognition (a 30-something female) offered that she "thought he was dating a celebrity"...but couldn't remember who!

I am still completely underwhelmed by these responses (nothing at all against Chris and Travis). I just think Dane Cook (and his agent) should be worrying about his "Q" rating!

Re: Weekly RoundUp 11-28-2006

I'm in (what I think is) Dane Cook's target demographic, mid 20s, and I don't think he's funny. On the aforementioned SNL he hosted this season, his monologue was ~10 minutes of his stand-up and it was just bad. But there are people I work with (1 woman in particular, who is in her early 30s) who think he's great. To each his own.

Back to your bargain hunting.
