Titles included in some of the collections listed in the grid:
Dracula: Legacy Collection: Dracula, Dracula (1931 Spanish), Dracula’s Daughter, Son of Dracula, House of Dracula.
Frankenstein: Legacy Collection: Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, Son of Frankenstein, Ghost of Frankenstein, House of Frankenstein.
Wolf Man: Legacy Collection: Wolf Man, Werewolf of London, Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, She-Wolf of London.
Monster: Legacy Collection Set: All the films in the Dracula/Frankenstein/Wolf Man Legacy Collections. Plus three hand-cast, hand-painted busts of the three principals.
Hammer Horror Collection: Curse of Frankenstein, Horror of Dracula, The Mummy, Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed, Dracula Has Risen From the Grave, Taste the Blood of Dracula.
Ingmar Bergman Collection: Persona, Shame, Hour of the Wolf, Passion of Anna, Serpent’s Egg.
Popeye: 75th Anniversary Collection: Just a note to say there are no Max Fleischer cartoons in this collection—just TV animation from the 1960s.
Standard disclaimer: All prices are taken from the websites of each chain, or from their printed advertisements, the Sunday of the week of release (so as to catch any week-of-release sale prices). All prices are subject to change by each chain. Prices and inventory in-store may or may not match the website price. If a price is marked "$_N/A_" in the grid, it means that this title is not shown as available on that chain's website or perhaps in their ads...but it COULD still be in-stores!
$_"LP" means the advertisement says "Low Price", and $_"HP" means the advertisement says "Hot Price". Use of either of these in the Roundup grid indicates that I could not locate a definite price for the item, and the ad is all I have to go on. Retailers use these phrases in advertisements so that they do not violate MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) agreements with the studios. Doing so can cost them thousands or even millions of dollars in co-op advertising funds.
I only include the titles I feel like including (or the ones Dave tells me he's looking for ;o)). In fact, the titles are pretty much the ones I'm personally interested in, with few exceptions. I don't get paid for this, and I don't have time to devote to doing every DVD. So, please don't complain. If there is a title not included in the Roundup that you want to see, just look it up yourself, and be nice enough to post and share the results with everyone...like Dave & I do!
Note that Circuit City does not guarantee their sale prices in Hawaii. Also note that I cannot include Wal-Mart prices in the standard Roundup: Wal-Mart sets prices at individual stores based on nearby competition, so there is not a way I can say here what price you'll find at YOUR local Wal-Mart location. When it comes to Wal-Mart prices mentioned at all, just remember that "Your Mileage May Vary".
**BE CAREFUL! Love Actually AND Love Don’t Cost A Thing AND Stuck On You are available in both OAR and MAR versions...get the correct one.
