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.

Big week for me.

Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix
Lost: Season Three
Masters Of Horror: The V Word
and all three Walt Disney Treasures

As always, thanks for the prices, guys!

Bourne Ultimatum HD DVD for me, and a whole slew of SDs for the fam for Christmas.

The Potter set on Blu-ray will come home after the holidays it seems. But hey, I'll need something to watch once football is finished.

Thanks, Guys!

LOST: Season Three for me. I guess reading between the lines then, no one has a store-exclusive bonus disc for this volume. That marks the first time. Drat.

I am also thinking about the Disney Treasures, too. But, truth be told, this series isn't doing it for me anymore the way it did in the beginning. As long as there are no reports of mastering mishaps, at some point down the road I will pick up Donald (to complete that series) and possibly, Oswald.

Kind of bummed Best Buy doesn't have an exclusive bonus disc with Lost: Season 3. That's a first, at least for Lost sets. Oh well.

The Best Buy Blu-Ray B1G1 deal referenced by Patrick includes the following 18 titles, not all of which are listed in their ad:

Premonition
Casino Royale
Blood and Chocolate
Ghost Rider
Catch and Release
Open Season
The Holiday
Perfect Stranger
The Messengers
Gridiron Gang
The Pursuit of Happyness
Vacancy
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
Rocky Balboa
Volver
Stomp the Yard
Stranger Than Fiction
The Lives of Others

Regards,

A BD sale the week of a box office hit coming out on HD DVD? Quelle Surprise!

The Bourne movies in HD for me, Oswald and Donald, and probably that ginormous Red Sox box set. Because, remember - you can turn Tim McCarver off.

I think they should put that on one of those stickers attached to the case shrink-wrap.

Thanks guys!

Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix HD-DVD for me!

Bourne Ultimatum HD-DVD is on my Christmas list.

Dang that Best Buy Buy one Blu-ray get one free sale... Where's the love for HD-DVD?!

Thanks guys!

This is the week I've been saving up for the last few months; Disney Treasures, Harry Potter HD, and Bourne Ultimatum HD.

Harry Potter BLU-RAY Box Set from Warner mail order $88
RENT Blu-ray from Amazon $19.99

SONY BOGO Blu-Ray.. who knows.

Happy Blu Ray player? Priceless.

Pretty big week this week. Thanks for the prices, guys.

Bourne Ultimatum HD (still need to pick up Bourne Supremacy HD)
Lost season 3
the 3 Disney Treasures

Chronological Donald is on its way from DD. I'll be getting Harry Potter 2 disc at CC w/Calendar & Trading Cards. Looks like I'll be getting Bourne Ultimatum there too. I'd get the Bourne Steelbook if you could save the $5 from bb.com too but since I don't have a Best Buy B&M it isn't worth $10 more. $5 but not $10.

I kinda wish there was a bonus disc too but I'm hoping that it's a sign that store exclusive bonus discs may be going away. Something tells me that's wishful thinking though.

There will be an in-store exclusive. It's at Wal-Mart though.

http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread.php?t=519555

I read in a review that the Season 3 finale, which originally aired on one night, is in two-parts on the DVD. They didn't do this with the Season 2 DVD. Anybody know the reasoning behind this?

Thanks for the info! Looks like I'm heading to Wal Mart (even if I hate store exclusives ).

Did it specifically say that it was broken into two episodes? If I remember correctly, the S2 booklet listed the finale as two parts and disc six even had 'Episodes 21 to 24' printed on it and the S2 finale was still in one part.

Either way, all the finales were produced as two episodes (for S3, it was episodes 22 and 23) so splitting it isn't really incorrect.

Yes.

I've learned to appreciate Timmy as comic relief.

Speaking of Wal-Mart, this is totally a YMMV situation, but I was in Wal-Mart tonight to check out some digital photo frames, and wandered around to their high-def offerings, and was surprised to see the following prices (pre-placed in the locked cases for HD DVDs and BDs):

Harry Potter 1-4 on Blu-ray or HD DVD $14.77 each
Harry Potter 5 on Blu-ray or HD DVD $21.77
The Bourne Ultimatum on HD DVD $21.77

Again, totally a YMMV situation, but I know where I'll be picking up the Bourne Ultimatum HD DVD on Tuesday.

On the topic of the 2007 WS DVD coming out this week, I post the following for all those excited at the prospect of turning off Tim "Derek Jeter has calm eyes" McCarver:
