The Disclaimer Standard disclaimer: All prices are taken from the websites of each chain, or from their printed Sunday advertisements. All prices are subject to change by each chain. Prices and inventory in-store may or may not match the website price.

"LP" in the RoundUp table means a store’s Sunday flyer says "Low Price". That means 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, obviously, cannot include EVERY title released in a given week in the RoundUp. 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 RoundUp that you want to see, 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 RoundUp. 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, as always, Circuit City does not guarantee their sale prices in Hawaii.

Target on sale DVD items:

Tony Bennett: The Music Never Ends $12.99

Thanks as always guys. Just a blind buy for season 2 of Earl, really loved the first season, and the Blu-ray of Underworld this week for me.

well i would have bought wyatt earp blu-ray if it was long version

Thanks, Mike and Patrick.

Kind of a big week for me - Bronx Is Burning, Drawn Together S2 (finally), HR Derby Vol. 3 and possibly Knocked Up as a blind buy.

I'll eventually probably blind buy The TV set. And I'd like to get Numb3rs S3, but it's too expensive and they never go on sale (which is why I still haven't picked up S2).

Thanks for the prices, Mike and Patrick! Just Knocked Up CE (NR) (2-disc) for me this week...

The TV Set is on the Netflix queue. Otherwise, nada.

Thanks guys!

Thanks as usual.

Just one or two TV sets this week. King of Queens for certain, and My Name is Earl if I can verify they didn't screw up the music this time.

Thanx guys!

The Wild Bunch in High Deffy

Knocked Up HD, Wild Bunch BD and possibly Black Book on BD as well as a blind buy. Plus, I still have to pick up Elizabeth on HD DVD and A Few Good Men on BD. Oh, and actually find time to watch them.

Nothing for me this week!

As You Like It for me; I'm also very tempted by Black Book on BD.

Fairly big week for me:

Eaten Alive ($18.69 on Amazon)
Knocked Up
Twisted Terror Collection (I only want four of the titles but the price on the set is cheaper than buying four titles individually)

I'll probably pick up the Suspiria re-release as a birthday gift for a friend too.

Thanks for the prices!

Does anyone know if Wal-mart is going to sell The Untouchables Season 1 Vol. 2 for $19.95 like they did back when Vol 1 came out? I know I snatched that up ASAP

--Target has an EXCLUSIVE LIMITED EDITION OF My Name is Earl: Season 2. Go ahead and ask me what makes this a “Target Limited Edition.” Go ahead and ask. Answer: I don’t know! Quantities Limited. No rainchecks.

Answer: I know! It includes a poster and special 3-D packaging!

Thanks, Eric! I can ALWAYS count on you!

Wow, Dora or Cujo.... Decisions, decisions!

They'll probably be side-by-side at your local retailer!

As Mike would say thats another combo destined for a double feature !lol !

Everybody's heading to Andrea's Friday night!



Tony, you may want to leave now! You've got a long way to travel!
