Mike,

From the photo of Rocky Balboa, the other boxer's last name is Tarver not Carver.

What's even more frustrating is that most of these second discs are incredibly weak in terms of content. Practically gone is the day of the fully "tricked out" 2-disc special edition. I now think long and hard (and always read reviews first) before shelling out an additional $6 to $10 for a 2-disc set. I just can't cost justify the extra $$ for a measly 30 minutes or less of additional content, most of which I will never watch more than once or twice.

That said, give me a thoughtful, carefully crafted 2-disc set like, say, Forbidden Planet, and I'm in!

Just got back from Target.
Only South Park Season 8 was on sale.
They had all 9 seasons available.

Thought it was interesting, I went to Circuit City first to price match.
The only season they didn't have was Season 8

Re: the $3 off season 4 of Miami Vice coupon attached to the front of season 3 - it technically won't work at BB with their 2 for $50 deal, but YMMV -

I tried it today. The coupon registered as $0.00. The girl checking me out said "It must not work with the sale" to which I replied - "It should - its a manufacturers coupon - you get reimbursed on it". She then tried it a second time and it still came up $0.00. So she completed the sale (complete with the big sale screen that comes up which she has to confirm to get the 2 for $50 price) and the total was exactly $53.00. ($50 plus $3 tax). At that point she entered a generic "manufacturers coupon" somehow and put the amount at $3 which was deducted. So my set came out at exactly $50.

There really isn't any reason why it shouldn't work - the 2 for $50 is Best Buy's own sale price. Universal is kicking in the $3.

Fry's ad (in Houston) has what looks like the Eragon 2 Disc for 14.99 or 14.88.

Found Rocky Balboa for $15.87 at my local Wal-Mart.

And they also had on a clearance shelf about 3 dozen copies of the Eagles: Melbourne Farewell Tour 2-disc set (with a "three new song" Wal-Mart bonus disc) for just $5! I think I paid a bit more for that 2-disc set (even though it was used). Great DTS track.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 3-20-2007

I found the new Masters Of Horror disc at Target for $9.99 which is about $3 cheaper than most stores. Also it has the uncensored cover (which is so tame that a 100 year old lady probably wouldn't be bothered by it) as opposed to the clean version that the Best Buy in my area was carrying.

Is it just me or are the dvd covers for Rocky Balboa and Blood Diamond just hideous.

I really like the Rocky Balboa cover but the Blood Diamond one is pretty bad.

I thought the same thing - that the BB promo price and the $3 coupon should both work, but register adjusted my coupon amount to $0.00 as well. The BB cashier was helpful and tried a couple of times to get the coupon to work, but she couldn't get it to deduct the additional $3.

My local Wal-Mart had Rocky Balboa for the same price. I had a $3.00 coupon valid on select Sony DVD titles (I can't remember which DVD this coupon was packaged in) that was due to expire on March 31st. I asked the Wal-Mart cashier if I could use it for Rocky Balboa since it is a Sony DVD and she took it no problem. I also picked-up Blood Diamond at Wal-Mart for $14.87.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 3-20-2007

Went to BB for the Miami Vice Season 3&4 for $50 deal and it wouldn't take the $3 coupon for me either. The clerk tried saying I couldn't use the coupon, but I stood my ground until she finally got the manager.
MGR: You can't use this coupon.
ME: Why not?
MGR: You can't pull a coupon off the cover and use it right now.
ME: Excuse me, but the coupon says take $3 off right "now" when you buy Season 3&4 together. Please show me a dictionary that shows that now doesn't mean "at this moment".
MGR: Well, you'll have to use this at some other time, you can't use it now.
ME: Please explain why I would want to come back later to buy "another" copy of Miami Vice and end up with another $3 coupon I can't use?

This went on for awhile and the line was backing up behind me so he finally told the clerk to go ahead and take it off. She did and then I pulled out a $5 Rewards coupon I had and ended up getting Seasons 3&4 for $42 plus tax.

Everybody just needs to hold their ground and keep telling them the absurdity of their objection until they give up.

If a store manager tried to insult my intelligence by directly contradicting the wording on a coupon, I would make sure that the district manager found out about it when I got home.

Um, yeah. Absolutely.

"Insult my intelligence" is exactly the right phrase.

For those looking for the Blood Diamond 2-disc set, my local Costco was selling them for $20 and change.
