Weekly Roundup 8/5 (1 Viewer)

[Tim Glover]

Want to pass on in todays Sunday newspaper, Frys has What a Girl Wants & Agent Cody Banks on sale for only $13.99. This sale in for Tuesday Only!

In addition, Fry's Outpost.com has Casablanca:SE for $14.99 too. Usually, Fry's retail store honors that price.

 

[Kyle McKnight]

I really wish all the critters movies were available in a box set...

 

[Kenneth Cummings]

A couple of titles this week with Soylent Green, Omega Man, and Castebranca (never seen it).

 

[Justin_S]

I already got Irrebersible, The Haunting, Wait Until Dark, and Soylent Green early, so what's left for me to buy Tuesday is Of Unknown Origin, Man's Best Friend, and maybe The Thing From Another World. Busy week!

 

[DonRoeber]

I almost feel bad about giving in and buying Remo Williams, but for $5, it's awfully tempting.

 

[Matt Wallace]

Fry's also has Final Destination 2, The Animatrix, and Dark Blue for $14.99 all week. They are advertising "Low Price" on How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days, as well. And then there's PS2 (only) NCAA Football 2004 at $49.95 with an instant gift rebate and Silent hill 3 with a $15 instant gift rebate.

Thanks David.

Casablanca and Halloween for me.

 

[Michael St. Clair]

For those who are into such things, 'The Rachel Papers' features naked (very naked, if I recall) scenes of one eighteen-year-old Ione Skye (Say Anything, River's Edge, etc).

This weekend, Amazon starting shipping the previously cancelled release of Duel (which was to be released on 8/12 before Universal cancelled it about a week ago). Get 'em while they're hot...

 

[Angel Pagan]

Starship troopers sb is listed but how bout the quick and the dead super bit???

Reel.com has QatD releasing same day with the other SBs.

How is that possible?

Not possible. Amazon is so anal about shipping before release date that they DO NOT SHIP UNTIL THE DAY BEFORE OR EVEN THE DAY OF RELEASE. Especially not 2 weeks before time. Anyone who has ever pre-ordered from Amazon knows. You usually don't get your order until 4-5 days after street date.

In other news "Omega Man, Soylent Green, Super Troopers SB, & The Thing" for me this week.

My copies are shipping.

Just to let you know, Earth: Final Conflict -S1 that you mention in the list is actually Season 3. Universal owns the rights to season 1 & 2 and has decided not to put them out at this time. ADV is putting out season 3 in a large set. I saw it at a B&M store last week and checked out some of the resources online to confirm this. From what I understand season 1 is the best season of the show too, so it looks like I won't be getting this title then.

 

[Andrea W]

Amazon is not shipping before release date. The title was cancelled so there is no release date. Go figure. My copies at Amazon say "shipping soon" (preparing your items for shipment). Other people have reported already receiving the disc from Amazon. Can't wait until this is in my hands!

Ah, CRAP! I *knew* this and actually meant to bring it up. But in the course of assembling the Roundup, it slipped my mind and stayed slipped until you brought it up.

Thanks for keeping me honest, Alex.

Hey, here's something interesting: I just got the list of prices at my local Wal-Mart for items they'll be discounting that are new this week. Looks like a new low price on Bullwinkle!

Bringing Down the House $15.18

Agent Cody Banks $16.14

What a Girl Wants $17.08

Rocky & Bullwinkle S1 $23.74

Star Trek Deep Space S4 $94.98

Halloween H25 $15.18

Casablanca $18.98

Don't forget that prices vary at Wal-Mart from location to location. If your WM store discounts to beat the competition, it will probably have lower prices than these! These are a straight 5% off the competitor's best advertised price, or if no competing ad it's what WM was gonna sell them for anyway.

 

[Andrea W]

Amazon now seems to be sold out of Duel. Just got shipping confirmation on my order from Amazon (placed yesterday). Shipped today, expected August 8. Yeah!

 

[Malcolm R]

I still think those are competitive prices for your area, Dave. I know my local Wal-Mart sells no new release DVD's for less than $19 (i.e. "Daredevil" was $19.82 this past week; "Piglet's Big Movie was $19.67).

 

[John Madia]

For anyone thinking of taking advantage of Circuit City's 2 for $10, also remember that many of the titles have a promotion attached to them that allows you to send away for one free DVD with the purchase of two. So in the end, you get 3 DVD's for $10. The list of those to choose from is:

Bill and ted's excellent adventure
A fish called wanda
When harry met sally
Rob roy
Rollerball (remake)
Show girls
Spaceballs
Throw momma from the train
What's the worst that can happen?
Supernova
