Weekly RoundUp 5/24/2005 (1 Viewer)

[Kenneth Cummings]

Dammit, after a dead week I run into something like this, where there is tons of dvds I need to get. Well I probably have to hold off on something here, but most likely get Aviator this week for sure and probably get Batman volume 3, Samurai Jack volume 2, Day After Tomorrow SE, I Robot SE, and Newsradio (is it out this week for sure?) later on. Thanks for the round up Mike.

Everything I've seen continues to point to this Tuesday for its release. And as I said in my previous post in this thread, mine already shipped from Digital Eyes a few days ago, so it's looking good to FINALLY be released.

[Malcolm R]

Why'd they need 3 discs for only 5 hours of content? Two at the most would have done the trick.

 

[Casey Trowbridg]

Wow, a lot of stuff coming out this week that I will eventually have to pick up

M*A*S*H season 8
Garfield's Fantacies
Andy Griffith Season 1
News Radio seasons 1 & 2
Everybody Loves Raymond Finale
I, Robot 2 disc SE (held off on the original release)

Thanks for the roundup as always.

 

[JonBoriss]

The Aviator and maybe the Man on Fire SE, both at Circuit City.

 

[Jason_V]

Superfriends (that's a given)

and I was gonna get Batman, but I haven't finished V1 yet, let alone gotten V2.

But maybe I, Robot for the ticket to F4.

Seems to me like dvd prices have been on an upward shift. About a year ago (and for a while before that) you could always find some kind of 3 for $20 deal going on to stock up on older titles and new titles were rarely more than $15. And it still boggles my mind how tv show seasons can charge around $35 when those same shows are playing on reruns for free. A season of a tv show should cost no more than $15 - all you're paying for is convenience.

 

[Eric DiPiazza]

Walmart had a bonus disc for The Aviator.

 

[Johnny Angell]

Is that a permanent price drop on the X-Files or just temporary?

 

[Dave Corder]

Definitely NewsRadio for me. I've been waiting for this one for a LOOOONG time. Might have to finally start collecting The X-Files at that price from BB, too. Maybe just seasons 1 and 2 to start...

Thanks Mike!

 

[Dane Marvin]

Two copies of The Aviator this week and possibly Superfriends (gotta get the first one, too).

 

[Bob Graham]

Best Buy's offerings seem a little skimpy this week. I wonder if they'll announce a Memorial Day Sale next weekend.

 

[James D]

Johnny-the sign on the shelf at Best Buy states that the $49.99 sale for the X-Files expires on July 4. I would imagine that the price will go back up after the 4th.

 

[Greg_S_H]

Airwolf, Airwolf, Airwolf! I've been wanting that on DVD since I've been into DVD. I will also get Baa Baa if I can afford it. I've got a $5 RewardZone coupon, so that's good. I will eventually want Andy Griffith S2, but probably not this week. I heard about Drums Along the Mohawk coming months ago, but I wasn't expecting it this week. At the Best Buy price, that may be what I end up getting in addition to Airwolf.

 

[Dennis Nicholls]

So that's what "Queen for a Day" is about. I guess I was confused....

 

[Harold Wazzu]

Care to elaborate? The last bonus disc I bought from Wal-mart was the Field of Dreams 2-disc w/ bonus and that was a gem.

NM, I looked on their site: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=3875637

Might have to take a closer look at it in the store.

 

[ScottJH]

Costco will have Drums Along the Mohawk and The Bravados bundled together for $13.59

 

[Andrea W]

It looks like they are charging for the bonus disc. That link says the Aviator and the bonus disc is $19.96. But on the right-hand side of that page in the "May We Also Suggest" column, they have:

The Aviator (Widescreen) DVD
Coming Soon
$14.87

So the bonus disc costs $5.09, for this content:

Exclusive Features
# Howard Hughes: A Brief Biography
# Interviews with DiCaprio, Scorsese, Mann and others
# A Red Carpet Extravaganza
# Aviator Premieres from around the world
# Red carpet interviews with Leonardo DiCaprio, Martin Scorsese, Alan Alda, Cate Blanchett, Kate Beckinsale, Gwen Stefani and others in the US, London, Rome & Berlin.

Thanks for the info. I'll have to try to sneek one or two X-Files into the budget before then.
