**BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL! Because I Said So AND Music and Lyrics are available in both OAR and MAR versions...get the correct one(s)!
--Many retailers are advertising that the Music and Lyrics DVD also contains FREE MOVIE CASH to see Lucky You. Movie Cash = $10.50. Movie Cash valid 5-4-07 thru 6-1-07. Quantities limited. No rainchecks.
--It seems as if a number of HD –DVD and Blu-ray discs that many are reporting due for release this week (Battle of the Bulge, The Fountain, Road Warrior, etc) have been pushed back a week or so. Or else their release dates were mis-reported. Some places also reported Music and Lyrics and Stomp the Yard out on Blu-ray this week. Not gonna happen.

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. |
