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.

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, PLEASE 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, Circuit City is still out of business...even in Hawaii (where they NEVER guaranteed their prices anyway).

post #2 of 14

I was contemplating Nude Nuns With Big Guns, but I'll wait 'til the Criterion CE....

 

I'm hoping to find the Under The Boardwalk DVD at the library or streaming somewhere.  It is a FASCINATING story!  (That's not a joke!)

 

Mike, PLEASE get better quickly!  Hopefully you were able to get you hands on the new Paul McCartney CD that we did with Diana Krall and her band!

Get well soon, Mike! smile.gif

Maybe The Rum Diary otherwise a break week for me.

Rest well Mike! We are thinking and praying for your fast recovery.
post #5 of 14
Thanks guys! and get well soon Mike!

Get well soon, Mike!  Prayers to you for a quick recovery.

 

Thanks to you and Adam for the Round-Up.

post #7 of 14

Passing this week unless I hear of a really good deal on something I really really want.

 

Mike, bud, get better!  It was great having you back last week!

post #8 of 14

Thanks everybody (and Adam for the assist!) for all the well wishes.

 

Just a quick note from my wife's laptop as I'm back in the hospital.  And, it is really difficult to find the time for such things when I have these really hot nurses constantly running in & out of my room...  biggrin.gif

 

Eric:  iTunes has a really long video up of the McCartney CD.  It was great to see the Capitol Studios...and, of course, Diana Krall, John Clayton, Anthony Wilson, etc....but i really couldn't get past how poorly-suited McCartney's vocals were to the songs. 

 

I'm not about to start bashing a Beatle...but that is not an album for me.  Horrible!  I kept wishing Diane would jump in and just start singing!  biggrin.gif

 

Nothing for me, either, this week.  Magnificent Ambersons should be hitting my mailbox tomorrow from Amazon (still just $9.99, I think). 

 

I've had a chance to go through a lot of my recent orders:  CSI: Grave Danger, Lady and the Tramp, Wings and have been enjoying (as best I can) my convalescing.  And now it looks like I'll get another entire round of it after I get discharged from the hospital again.  Oh.  And I also watched Bull Durham for the first time in many years after picking it up in Best Buy's $7.99 bin last week!  I had a great time revisiting that film. 

 

Best to everybody and I will report in when I can!  biggrin.gif

Get well soon, Mike!

I can confirm that the Muppets Disney Store deal (4 pictures plus a $10/ $20 coupon off a future purchase) is active. I was in the mall anyway and forgot to wait for a possible DMR coupon. Oh well. . .
post #11 of 14
Aaron what deal are you confirmIng?
post #12 of 14
The Disney Store is running their standard pre-order deal (which they don't run on every title) on The Muppets. Pre-order the combo pack for $25 and you get 4 lithographs plus a $10 coupon off a future purchase or $20 off if the purchase is at least $40. The only annoying thing is that I think they still only sell the DVD-case version of the combo packs.

They may be running the same deal on their website, but that'll cost an extra $5 for shipping (plus I think the online coupon is online only, so there'll be shipping on whatever you buy there as well).

This should probably be in its own thread. . .

Just scored an amazing deal at Costco. I got Blu-rays of The Apartment, Annie Hall, Manhattan, and Midnight Cowboy for $9.99 each.
post #14 of 14

Costco has been on unusually good behavior this week.

 

I picked up The English Patient for $8.99 (Best Buy was out of the $7.99 ones), the Mildred Pierce BB/DVD set for $26.99, and the two 3-disc sets of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Smiley's People for $26.99 each.  Also, a couple of Marilyn Monroe 2-packs at $7.99 each ($4 per film).  That's a large haul for me at Costco these days... I'm sorry but relieved to say.
