I, obviously, cannot include EVERY title released in a given week in the RoundUp[/COLOR]. 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 [COLOR= rgb(255, 0, 0)]RoundUp[/COLOR] that you want to see, PLEASE 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 [COLOR= rgb(255, 0, 0)]RoundUp[/COLOR]. 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, Circuit City is still out of business...even in Hawaii (where they NEVER guaranteed their prices anyway).

Thanks Mike! Copland, Cars 2 and Crazy, Stupid Love. Speaking of crazy, I picked up Quigley Down Under and Big Country a few months ago when they were Walmart exclusives for $10 each. Makes me wonder what the point of having an exclusive is when you are selling it cheaper.....not that I'm complaining

Thanks for the roundup. Best Buy for Cars 2 (5 disc w/DMR coupon). That's it for this week.

I really need to start curbing my movie spending. This week will be Cars 2 and one or two more of The X Files sets BB has on sale for $14.99.*


*Unless something else catches my eye, in which case I'm in trouble...

Thanks as always for the Roundup, Mike.


I reviewed Quigley and Big Country back in the spring when they were Wal-Mart exclusives, so those reviews can be added to the chart.


The Big Country can be found here.


Quigley Down Under can be found here.


I'll have Snow Flower and the Secret Fan review up tomorrow evening.

Trainspotting for $6.99 is a pretty sick price. And I have a $5 BB Reward Zone coupon burning a hole in my pocket.

I'll be picking up Cars 2 this week. Thanks for the prices!

Looks like: Cars 2 And the 2 /$40 deal on: Captain America and Fast Five OR maybe The Lion King instead of one of the others. As always, a BIG thanks Mike for the latest "Roundup"

I had Cars 2 3-D on amazon that was $27, but I see that BB has it for $25 - the Disney $5 - a $5 reward zone coupon down to $15. So that works.

Some nice deals this week. I guess that signals the beginning of the holiday season when I wind up spending more than I planned...

I didn't see it in the round up but the Tom Cruise Blu-Ray Collection comes out Nov 1 and my review for it can be found here.


5 good to great film's of his for just $35 and change from Amazon is a terrific deal. Note that not all of the special features are included, but on most films they are all there.

I forgot that I paid $7.50 for the steel book as a preorder so that's another $7.50 off.

BN Criterion 50% off sale going to take most of my $$$ for the next couple weeks, but Cars 2 almost certainly soon and Water for Elephants sometime before Christmas Chuck Barris is already on it's way from Deep Discount though that could be tomorrow or next month sometime since the package apparently has already made a couple detours. It must be trying to shake the tail MI6 has placed on all the shipments.

Thanks for another WRU, Mike.



Looks like things may be picking up from here on out thru the end of the year -- and our wallets will be taking some big hits.


I too will probably be giving priority to the B&N Criterion sale -- and I won't have nearly enough CC rewards funded GCs to pay for them this time around. Will probably pick up the Cars 2 BD in some release week deal, perhaps from TRU if their pre-deals price is competitive.


FWIW, the Hook BD came out in the UK about a month ago -- and I already imported it (for a shipped cost of ~$10-11) along w/ a batch others.

All now added to the OP. Thanks, Matt.

B&N / Criterion sale is on: NOW.


Oh lordy, my poor wallet this month.

Hmmm, Amazon was listing the release date as 11/1 as of Sunday in line with the press release info...odd.


Well, this way your record remains firmly intact

Amazon has dropped the price of A Christmas Carol (BD) to $10.99! (SD is $9.99.) However, they say the BD edition "usually ships in 1 to 3 months." Very strange.
