Thanks for the tip, Mike. I have another CC location to check out tonight for the SNL commercial parodies, but if they haven't got FTETTM, I'll keep my eyes peeled at Costco and Sam's. Thanks again.

Why is that?
Because the bargain bins are about getting rid of excess inventory, and that's what that excess inventory happens to be (whether because they ordered high on crop-o-vision or more people are buying the proper version).

Boy. I wish I knew the answer to that...

Either way, I would think that would serve as an indicator to studios/retailers that they are over-exaggerating the interest in MAR'd films.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 8-7-2007

I found quite a few titles at Target not in the circular:
Beneath: $19.99
The Salon: $19.99
Flash Gordon: $19.99
Disturbia: $29.99 (both Blu-ray and HD)

Also, they have the Planet Earth set in both BR and HD on a featured endcap for $84.99 each. Saw some of the Elvis stuff, 8 Simple Rules, Full House and a few more, but didn't get the prices...

Flash Gordon I'll pick up once it hits the bargain bins...

Same...heck...probably once it hits $10. I used to have it on VHS before I sold my collection.

If my Calculations are correct Most Retailers will be paying YOU to pick up a copy of Snakes on a Plane this Black Friday!

This is a title which has seen an overall price reduction. You can also find it at that $21 pricepoint in wholesale clubs like Sam's, BJs and Costco.

I went to 2 Costco stores and neither had From the Earth. Fortunately I was able to pick it up at Circuit City.

Sorry, Hein. Glad you found one. I saw one just this week at my local BJs Wholesale Club.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 8-7-2007

Stopped by Best Buy on Tuesday for the 3-disc King Kong and 4 buck Fargo. I also grabbed Roger Rabbit. Great sale.

I stopped by Circuit City and they had 3 copies of From the Earth to The Moon. I passed, but I may go back tomorrow and pick it up, if they still have any. I was kind of disappointed that the Field of Dreams they had on sale wasn't the 2-disc version. That's Circuit City for ya.

No problem. I could just be that my Costco ran out.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 8-7-2007

Just a quick note about the release of This Is Elvis. The 2 disc edition features the 1981 theatrical release of this documentary clocking in at 102 minutes. The second disc features the 1983 video release which runs 144 minutes. I purchased it at Best Buy for $17.99. I'm sure prices vary. (I am amassing tons of points on the Reward Zone special running this month -- $10 coupon for every $100 spent.)

I have been waitng for this release for about 15 years. I used to rent the VHS all the time. It's a must for fans.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 8-7-2007

Thanks for the weekly RoundUp Mike & Patrick.

No new releases for me this week.
I'll rent TMNT and Unaccompanied Minors for the kids.

I went looking for From The Earth To The Moon: Signature Edition at my local Sam's Club. I didn't want to hassle with hunting for it at Circuit City (and most likely finding out that there were none left in stock). I had the Sunday CC Circular and got the $22 PM'd at Best Buy. BTW - BB has FTETTM: SE on sale for $29.99 this week (regularly $59.99). I wish that BB didn't have it on sale, because then I would have bought it first, and then done the PM to get 110% of the difference. It would have been really nice to get it for $18.20. Still a nice bargain at $22.

Thanks again guys.

Re: Weekly RoundUp 8-7-2007

Just thought I'd mention -- if anyone missed the sale on the extended "Lord of the Rings" sets last week, check your local Costco. Mine had them for $10.99 each tonight. Didn't see any copies of "From the Earth..." there, but I did find one at another Circuit City this week.

Glad you mentioned that, Mary! I noticed this week that the LotR EEs are now $12.99 at my local BJ's Wholesale Club.

BTW, I picked up the Popeye set at BJs for $45.99.
