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! Chasing Liberty AND The Last Samurai AND Peter Pan are available in both OAR and MAR versions...get the correct one!!!
--Amazon is still featuring free shipping on orders over $25. Restrictions apply.
--In sync with the airing of the series finale of Friends, May 6, Best Buy is offering deals on the season sets of Friends. Save $10 when you buy any two seasons of Friends. Seasons 1 & 2 are on sale for $29.99 each. Seasons 3 through 7 are on sale for $34.99 each.
--K-Mart is advertising the following DVDs for $19.99 this week: Peter Pan, Chasing Liberty, and Calendar Girls. The Last Samurai is $15.99. K-Mart is also offering a “K-Mart Exclusive” of a FREE Peter Pan light wand when you purchase Peter Pan. Quantities limited, No rain checks.
--Circuit City seems to have stopped putting glossy weekly sales inserts in my local Sunday paper. Has anyone else experienced this? Instead, they are going with a less-than-full-page ad in the first section of the actual newspaper itself.
