Thanks for the roundup Mike and congratulations to not only you, your wife and Kelly for getting fit, but for writing about it. Its getting some great reviews on Amazon too, all *****.

Slow week for me this week. I'm interested in Dragons since I really enjoyed How To Train Your Dragon.

Since I can seemingly never own enough versions of either Metropolis or Evil Dead 2, those are both on pre-order. May blind-buy the Three Colors trilogy and Rules of the Game from the B&N sale also. For anyone who might be interested: Fry's has the Tom Cruise Blu-Ray collection advertised for $19.99 Thanks as always for the round-up!

Wow, congratulations to your wife (and your dog) on the book, Mike! And thank you for this week's round-up. Definitely will be picking up My Fair Lady but still unsure of West Side Story.

Congrats on the book! In spite of the very lackluster reviews here for the "West Side Story" and "My Fair Lady" BDs I've just *got* to pick up both. They'll still be better than the DVDs, and replacement discs are already promised by the studio for the latter. The "Farscape" BD release intrigues me. I haven't purchased any Farscape since the Starburst Editions and if nothing else this will be a great way to save some shelf space. Plus my Panny blu-ray player balks on a few seconds of one of the DVD-18s from the third set of Season One. I'll probably have to eventually pick this up.

Hey Mike, When looking at the Best Buy add online for me the first seven Harry Potter films on Blu-Ray showed as $9.99 for me. Just thought I would see if your's is showing different or if it was just a typo. Thanks on working on all the prices and links! Thanks, Jeremy

Thanks for the RoundUp, Mike, and congratulate Peggy on her new book! Looks like a fun read.


I'll have the review for Three Colors trilogy up later today. I'm working on Red this afternoon.

I wish you great success with the book. As a woman who wants to look her best after the holidays (the pounds start to add up Thanksgiving to New Years!) I will be purchasing this book along with West Side Story and My Fair Lady.


Have a great week everyone!

Not a roundup title, but Amazon's gold box item today is Firefly: The Complete Series. The Blu-ray is on sale for $18.99 and the DVD is on sale for $14.99

. An outstanding price for an outstanding series and worth a blind buy if you haven't seen it before.

Joseph is referring to West Side Story. They are going to be fixing most of the problems for the second pressing. I haven't heard if there will be a trade in program.

Thanks for the heads-up on this, Adam. I've been wanting to upgrade to the Blu, but never seem to catch it when it's on sale. Thanks to you, I finally have. And, thanks to you too, Mike for the continued great work on the RoundUp!
