Thanks for the update Mike. Bought Sextette years ago on DVD. That's 90 minutes I'd like back please. Gulliver on 3D for me this week. For what its worth I heard the Last Legion was delayed when I tried to track down a review copy. Amazon still shows it but....

If I can find a Target flyer to price-match at Best Buy, I'd love to get the How To Train Your Dragon Blu-Ray for $12.99.

I just re-watched that with my daughter last weekend. What a great flick, and if you don't have it, a great buy for $12.99. Its cheaper than the used price on Amazon.

Great job as always Mike - thank you. Wow, there are a lot of Specials this week.


My wife and I have been eagerly waiting for The King's Speech so that's a definite on Blu-ray.


I need to pick-up The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader on BD, but not sure if I'm going to get it yet at Target's $17.99 price (I'll buy at that price from Amazon if they price match). I was hoping for someone to price the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows BD at $20 this week, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Lastly, I never bought Season 8 of 24 and noticed that Target has the DVD on sale this week. I'll need to check their ad, or look in store, to see if they dropped the BD price as well.


Thanks again.

Serenity, Megamind and probably Despicable Me...and that'll be it. I haven't been sticking to my budget lately and that doesn't make me a happy guy. Time to get refocused on the prize by not buying everything I see!

Adam: Thanks for the Despicable Me reminder (video clip).


But, do you suppose the unicorn plushes weren't ready on time for THAT film's release date?


And I will definitely be making a blind buy of The King's Speech. My wife and I really wanted to see this in the theater but never found the opportunity. Now we'll get to see what the fuss is all about.

The King's Speech is a great movie, but not one I anticipate enough repeat viewings for to justify a purchase. Somewhere is a rental for me. Nothing this week, which makes my wallet happy.

Go fer it on HtTYD. You won't regret it, especially at that price.


I might pick up The King's Speech at some point as well, but probably not this week.


Thanks as usual for another WRU, Mike!

Thanks, Mike! I'm really tempted by Walking Dead. $9.99 for the DVD might be too much to pass up, but I've only been able to find reliable Blu reviews. Can anyone post a quick impression of the SD PQ/AQ?

King's Speech on a rental for sure, and I am VERY tempted to blind buy Walking Dead for $9.99. Thanks for all the prices, Mike!

I missed on using the DMR coupon for the incredibles blu last week, but it expires today. I did some online checking, and it looks like it is $34.99 (Target) and $29.99 (Best Buy) online. Any decent prices out there so I can still use the coupon? I guess I could try a 2/$35 at Best Buy and try to use the coupon there.

Getting Snow White & Pinocchio for $17.99 each (Pinocchio is one of the "& others" listed in the flyer. Just called & confirmed it). I bought both day before yesterday & will take them in for a price adjustment today. Haven't opened either yet & am hoping Pinocchio will be new enough that it doesn't have the missing dialogue.

I may rent Somewhere and Rabbit Hole but there's nothing I want to purchase this week.


I picked up The Walking Dead DVD as a gift for someone this morning. And a big thumbs up to the Target employee who actually went in the back room and pulled a copy out for me rather than just telling me that they didn't have it.


Thanks for the prices!

Just got back from the Seattle (Northgate) Best Buy...they had about 6-8 of the Despicable Me unicorns...I didn't yet own that movie, so I was there to grab the Blu-ray for me and the unicorn for my sister.


I grabbed the first Despicable Me BR I saw, not noticing it was the "Best Buy Exclusive Edition" (in a space for the non-exclusive edition BR that's advertised at $19.99 this week). It rang up at $17.99 and the unicorn rang up at $19.99 (as expected), but the package discount to make it free didn't kick in. The cashier consulted with a manager to see if the BB exclusive edition was included in the promo and they decided to just override the computer to discount the unicorn to $0, instead of making me get the slightly-more-expensive regular BR. Anyone else who is going in for the Despicable Me Blu-ray and unicorn might want to give that a try to save a couple bucks.


Also, the unicorn is smaller than I expected.


Also picked up the Bambi and Alice in Wonderland Blu-rays in the 2/$35 promo, and Tangled BR at Target ($12.99 after the $5 coupon for it). Between those, Cars & The Incredibles at TRU yesterday, and my girlfriend surprising me with the Fantasia BR yesterday as well, I think I'm finally caught up on all the Disney and Pixar Blu-rays. Phew.


Thanks for the RoundUp!

I had no idea that Pinocchio had a missing dialogue issue. Just wanted to say thanks for alerting me to that (got mine on release day)...I'm getting in touch with Disney now about their replacement program.

I got the price adjustments today & checked out my Pinocchio. NO missing dialogue. Also NO slipcover but I'll live without it. I was surprised to get one on Snow White with Target's record for destroying them with their anti theft cases. Glad you've got the corrected Pinocchio disc coming.

BestBuy.com has Bambi Blu-ray for $12.99 now. Ordering mine for store pickup now...will return the Bambi & Alice in Wonderland I got today at BB and wait for a better deal on Alice by itself, I think.

Thanks for the heads up on the Bambi BD at BB. I wonder though if it's not some sort of pricing mistake since they have the DVD listed at $29.99 -- and have the buy 2-for-$35 deal going. Anyway, guess I'll jump on it now.
