Well, that just goes to show ya: it's always something.


I'm not too up on current (or recent) prime-time shows so I didn't remember that there was a similarly named show.

Odd. I see the DVD version (at that price) on BestBuy.com but the BD version is nowhere to be found -- I prefer to order for in-store pickup, if that's possible.

BTW, for the Moulin Rouge fans amongst you, I spotted the BD at J&R yesterday (apparently a week early) -- AFAIK, they don't usually put stuff out early, but I guess there was some sort of mix-up in the release date (as it looks like it was originally set for last week).

Edit: for some reason, clicking the above link doesn't work. But I was able to cut and paste it into a new window and it did.

It works for me.

 

[ManW_TheUncool]

That was too late for me. Just went ahead and picked it up at the store (while picking up a couple other previously ordered titles).

Read online that it's probably their best concert film (from their peak period), so figured I'd just risk it at that bargain price w/out knowing the actual PQ/AQ. :-p

That's the ever-discriminating Man-Fai I know and expect.

Thanks for the heads-up on this, Jason. I grabbed myself a copy as well.

It's off topic, but while at Target yesterday, I noticed they are reconfiguring their DVD area: Blu DOUBLED its space, they cut back on the SD boxed set/TV section and removed (or moved) CD/DVD storage completely.

Hm, maybe I'll skip that Stones disc.


Man, thanks for takin' one for the team!

Hey all - YMMV obviously but at the local Wal-Mart here, the How to Train Your Dragon combo pack was $26.96 (!) before tax. As a friend of mine was purchasing it on my behalf, they got it without question following my recomedation when I presumed that the price was going to be closer to what was listed online and in the roundup. Because I know Wal-Mart tries to pricematch other stores, I wonder if this will work in reverse, e.g. if they lower the price within the next few days to match the adveritsed Best Buy price or whatnot, if I could get a rebate with receipt for the difference or if I just needto let this one go. Advice from anyone with more farmilliarity with Walmart's policies would be really appreciated. Thanks.

Walmart will match other local stores advertised prices. Sometimes they don't even call or make you bring the ad. Or at least they used to. YMMV.
