I went to Best Buy here in Portland expecting to pick up "The Flyng Nun" for $27.99. It was tagged $39.99 and there were no shelf tags to say it was on sale. I took it up to the cashier and asked for a price check. It rang up $39.99. I said no thanks and left.

Costco has the Busby Berkeley set for $39.99 plus you get a bonus 8 track soundtrack CD with it. I don't know if this is exclusive to Costco or not.

10 Commandments was $14.99 there.

Went to Best Buy and picked up Chicken Little with a price match to Circuit City for $13.99, and they gave me no grief about getting the 2 pez's with it.

 

[Harold Wazzu]

My Walmart had Chicken Little for $13.87...

No bonus disc or any extra spiffy item with it though

 

[David Tolsky]

Amazingly enough, WalMart was $3 more expensive than CC on the Ten Commandments box. Price matched it at BB today. What a handsome looking set. Can't wait to dig into it!

It's a little late, but Target has a deal when you buy Chicken Little on DVD ($15.99) and the video game version (I think it was $29.99 for each system) you get a free $10 Target gift card.

Just as a point of interest: we've seen Amazon suddenly drop prices on release day or shortly thereafter, but I just noticed something disturbing that I hope isn't the start of a trend: they went the other way on "Chicken Little," which is now showing a price of $15.98 as opposed to the $14.96 noted above.

 

[Mike Frezon]

I wonder if Wal-Mart will be carrying Stalag 17?!

I don't see why not. Might even be a pretty good price.

 

[SteveVM]

yes Wal-mart had Stalag 17 for $13.92

 

[Mike Frezon]

Steve: Thanks a ton! I hope my W-M has the same kinda price.

 

[MattHR]

I don't know if it was advertised or not, but I saw Monk: Seasons 1-3 on sale for $19.99 each at Best Buy. There was a little "sale" sign next to them on the shelf.
That's 66% off -- a great price. Too bad I already have them all.

 

[Ric Easton]

So, I happen to be near a different Best Buy in my area (Saratoga Springs) yesterday during "lunchtime" and I thought I would run in and pick up Justice League and.. and um.. I know there was something else... What the hell was it?

It wasn't until I got back to work and to this forum that I saw I had also wanted "The Ten Commandments"! It was not on display in their "new release" area, as I was looking over those shelves very carefully.

Oh well, wouldn't be the first time I made a second weekly trip to BB.

Having a general sense of the kind of hours Ric's job entails, my favorite part of that whole story is the quotation marks around "lunchtime"!

 

[Mike Frezon]

SteveVM: Thanks again! My Wal-Mart had Stalag 17 for the same $13.92 price!

 

[SteveVM]

you bet, anytime
