That Gloria Swanson set just seems too good to pass up!
Thanks!

Mike,

Thanks for the info. While the remastered news is great, I'm afraid that the 1:29 running time on Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid means that the gas station scene will still be cut. :frowning:

 

[Jeff Meyers]

Thanks as always Mike & Patrick.

I picked-up Barnyard & World Trade Center today at Best Buy for $9.99 each and I'll be getting The Departed on Tuesday.

 

[Jason_V]

Just ordered Shock to the System on Friday, making it the first official purchase of 2007. I'm going to have to pass on The Departed right now, though I think I'm shooting myself in the foot. And I'm not even going to look at the catalogue titles on sale. It'll just make me depressed.

 

[Tim Glover]

Nice work again Mike, as usual. The Departed HD DVD for me this week.

 

[Andrea W]

I'm mulling over getting The Departed. And I need to pick up Ben 10 Season 1 from last week for my son. It slipped under my radar!

 

[Mike Frezon]

Are we completely out of the Dora phase by now, Andrea?!

 

[Dennis Heller]

I don't know how this will turn out, but I just ordered The Departed HD DVD on Best Buy online for $22.99 for local pickup.

 

[Jeff Brooks]

I noticed that Best buy does not seem to be discounting Blu-Ray titles at all. Are the prices mentioned above for The Departed, The Italian Job, etc., for this week really sale prices? Another reason I want to know is that I just receive some coupons that run from the 16th through the 19th, (sorry Mike!), and I know my BB won't give me the discount if they consider the titles to already be marked-down. Also, a blue shirt warned me yesterday that my local store will only have three copies of The Departed in Blu-Ray.

Departed HD-DVD at BB.com for $22.99

Thanks to other folks here, at DVDTALK, and CAG for this info.

[Wayne W]

This is the in store price as well.

 

[pitchman]

For anyone interested, I just got back from my local Sam's Club and they had the six disc set, Beauty and the Beast: Season 1, for $29.99. $10 less than BB and CC.

 

[Len Berkoski]

Has anybody seen the Tom Hanks or Steve Martin collections at Sam's Club or Costco? I stopped by my local Costco (Arundel Mills, MD), and they did NOT have them.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Going once.....

 

[Aaron Silverman]

Can anyone comment on the actual features of the BB and Target exclusive editions of The Departed? Is there any additional DVD content in either beyond the standard 2-disc edition, or is it just packaging/ poster cards at BB and the script at Target?

 

[Joe Isham]

Oh, frell. I knew I should have gone there and not BB.

 

[Douglas-M]

I second Aaron's question exactly! While the Best Buy and Target promotions for The Departed two-disk edition are clear about the exclusive packaging, postcards and script, they also refer to exclusive content. However, even looking at the actual packages, I don't see that there is exclusive content. I've looked everywhere I can imagine online but can find no additional info. Has anyone purchased either of these who can confirm anything? Thanks!

 

[FranklinC]

The BB steelbook version has no additional DVD content from the two disk version -- just four, postcard-sized prints of what appear to be the theatrical posters. The packaging is pretty awesome, though.

I can't speak to the Target version, because I haven't seen it. I am curious about it as well.
