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).

[FranklinC]

Hmmm. If that selection of pictures is any indication, this is going to be a great week for releases.

 

[RickER]

Fine round up of ladies...i mean discs!

Anyway, big week. Doctor Who, Torchwood, and i was gonna get Galactica on Blu. Not so sure now. I dont think i want the compete set. Not with crappy cardboard slip pockets. Not for $200, anyway. Might have to check it out in store, or get 4.5 on Blu, for now.

Thanks as always guys!

 

[SVTStingRay]

my jedi senses tell me theres a theme going on with those pics lol.

wanting the box set for galactica but balking at the price. have their been any news on the other seasons being released?

 

[Dennis Nicholls]

It's odd that A River Runs Through It is getting a BRD release so soon. The SD-DVD is generally a $5 disc in the bargain bins.

 

[Jason_V]

Ordering Green Lantern from DD later in the week, with the BSG Blu set to follow in November.

We're going to BB so I can pick up just a...few...yeah, a few...of the $15 BD's. Revolutionary Road, Benjamin Button, The Wrestler, Taken. Looks like another good week for filling the "holes" in the collection.

 

[Tommy G]

How did I miss the announcement of Repulsion Criterion being released? Thanks Mike....you made my week!

 

[Shawn.F]

To quote Borat in regards to the lovely ladies posted...wa wa wee wa!

BSG this week for me, along with The Wrestler. Tempted on Benjamin Button. $15 is a nice price on any Criterion Blu-ray.

 

[Ric Easton]

I'd love to get the complete BSG on Blu... even thought I might do it now with the Deep Discount sale, but things are a bit tight, so I think I am just gonna get the DVD of season 4.5 to complete my collection and wait on the big honkin' set. Hey, maybe in a year or so they'll have the really really complete version with "The Plan" and the missing webisodes.

Based on the pic alone, I may have to check out "Repulsion"

Thanks guys!

 

[TravisR]

I'll be picking up the Battlestar Galactica set. It's alot of money all at once but the 5 (or more) individual sets will end costing more than the series set. Especially since S2 and S3 have about 20 episodes so there's no chance that they'll be $40 a piece.

Thanks for the prices, guys!

 

[EricSchulz]

I've heard alot about Repulsion so I might make that a rental, otherwise nothing for me.

Don't forget Barnes & Noble currently has 50% off all Criterion DVD and Blu-Ray titles (online or in-store). Most are $19.99 or less (including 'Repulsion') through August 2 (or $17.99 each of you have a B&N Membership).

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

I held off on picking up "Battlestar" 4.0 after the split season release for season 2 was followed up with a complete season release. Any chance of that happening for season four, as well?

[Jeff Newcomb]

Best Buy also has a $12.99 Paramount Blu-ray promotion going on today through August 22. I can't remember all of the included titles, but I know that The Truman Show, Election, Trading Places, PaybackC, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, U2: Rattle & Hum, The Manchurian Candidate, Black Snake Moan, Black Rain, and World Trade Center were amongst them.

 

[WillG]

Just to get clarification on something, Mike has the Spinal Tap BD listed at Best Buy for $21.99, while Patrick shows it being listed at BB for 25? Just wondering which is correct. Judging by B&M BD prices, I'm betting on the $25 price.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Good question, Will.

The $21.99 price I got from BestBuy.com. See it HERE.

Patrick's probably is the price you'll find in-store from the flyer. You MAY be able, however, to get a cooperative customer service rep. to pricematch for you!

 

[WillG]

Thanks Mike,

Should be ok then, I've never had a problem at Best Buy yet with getting a price match with the website price.

 

[ManW_TheUncool]

Some pretty tempting prices on Blu-rays, but then again, seems like we've been getting a lot of them lately.

RE: the small nitpick about the pics issue I mentioned in the previous weekly update thread, maybe the resizing issue here is somehow caused/triggered by the couple of broken pic links -- the ones that are not hosted by HTF. Just a guess.
