I, obviously, cannot include EVERY title released in a given week in the RoundUp[/COLOR]. 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 [COLOR= rgb(255, 0, 0)]RoundUp[/COLOR] 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 [COLOR= rgb(255, 0, 0)]RoundUp[/COLOR]. 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).

[Mike Frezon]

Sorry I was a little bit late tonight, everyone!


Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!

 

[WillG]

Sorry I was a little bit late tonight, everyone!

Cripes, guy. What in the world could have possibly have been going on?!!!!

 

[Jason_V]

I'm heading over to Target in the very near future to cash in on the Sex and the City 9.99 sets. Best price we're ever likely to see. BB.com has 423 BD titles on sale, so it may be useful to check there if anyone's looking for something in particular.

 

[TravisR]

Nothing new for me but I picked up The Office: Season Six DVD and Supernatural: Season Five Blu-ray this morning.

Thanks for the prices!

 

[Will_B]

That's a pic from Resident Evil Extinction, you can tell by the duster she's wearing. Here's her Afterlife outfit:

You know. I probably used that image for that release. Oh well.


I couldn't resist and pulled the trigger @ amazon for:


House: Season 6 $14.99

The Expendables (Blu) $12.99

The Pacific (Blu) $38.99


Considered the $12.99 The A-Team...but decided the deal on The Pacific was a much better value. I figure The A-Team is headed for bargain bins eventually. There will definitely end up in some used bins along the way.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Thanks for the update on the Milla pic, Will!

 

[Jake Lipson]

Thanks. It's worth noting that the ABC titles released by Disney include an inside-the-package coupon for $10 off another one: Cougar Town, Ugly Betty, Lost (DVDBR), Brothers & Sisters, Flashforward, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Castle, Desperate Housewives and Scrubs most recent seasons. So if you need more than one of the 3 titles in Target's circular (Grey's, Lost, Castle), it would make the second one $10. I got Grey's today in the $19.99 sale and will go back to grab Lost with the coupon for $10. Just in case it would help anybody else.

 

[ManW_TheUncool]

Hmmm... Is the Glee Season 1 BD really also $14.99 at Target? OR is that just for the DVD? I wasn't too sure when I saw the weekly ad. The web site only has the DVD set for that price.


Thanks.

No. It's clear--both above and in the target ad. The TV Shows are on DVD and there are some Blu movies at the same price.

[Dave Scarpa]

Think I'll pick up RE:Afterlife from Amazon, I Know I Know but I'm a Sucker for Mila Jovavich. Tell you thou I'm gonna start waiting a few weeks picking up titles those prices on the Other guys is making me cry, If you wait a few weeks can save alot of $$$

 

[Mike Frezon]

I know what you mean, Dave.


I have been pleasantly surprised by some really incredibly low prices this holiday season. Ever since Black Friday, there has been a constant string of really amazing deals available. I really hope strong sales tell the retailers/studios that they need to keep prices down in order to engage the consumer.


That BB half-price deal on The Pacific (matched by amazon) is just one example. I just HAD to pull the trigger...knowing that I'd kick myself for probably not seeing that price again for a really long time.

 

[TonyD]

I just finished watching The American and have to say it was a great movie.

Don't watch it expecting an action thriller, it was not that.

Maybe subtle or subdued could be good descriptions.
Also included are two of the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in a film.

I Hope a review pops up on here I'd really like to read it and see what other HTF'ers think about it.

 

[Will_B]

Slightly off topic, but just revealed today at an event in Hong Kong (I think) is HotToys 1/6th scale figure of Alice (Milla Jovovich) as Alice from Resident Evil: Afterlife. I brightened up their pic a bit. Click for larger.


Like the Iron Man 2 Scarlett Johanssen figure and the Blade 3 Jessica Biel figure, this will be a $200 figure (more or less), when it is released in 2011, due to the level of detail:





The Russian parka might be a limited extra, they sometimes do that:

Hi Mike,


Thanks for the heads up on "The Alien Anthology" boxset on Blu at Best Buy - using a Reward Zone $20.00 certificate, I was able to pick it up for approx $61.00 including sales tax. Much more importantly I had a wonderful time going through all 4 movies again - absolutley terrific presentations. Not much of an extras man but will do one or two later.


Regards,

 

[Greg_S_H]

I don't read this thread often since I just don't buy DVDs any more, but Amazon informed me that Chuck S3 was on sale so I did some checking. For some reason, both Amazon and Best Buy had screwed up listings for this item. Amazon says it will ship in "1 to 3 weeks," while Best Buy had it as a pre-order "to be released 9/7/2010." I decided to check the local Best Buy and was able to get Chuck for the advertised $22.99. I went back to Best Buy's site just now, and the information has been corrected. I'm glad I waited instead of paying the full $54 I had been seeing.
