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![/COLOR] If there is a title not included in the RoundUp 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).

[COLOR= rgb(0, 0, 255)]--But wait! There's more. [/COLOR] Best Buy has also laid claim to EXCLUSIVE WEARABLE SIDEBURNS with their DVD copies of Freaky Deaky. Anyone who still has their wearable multi-colored wigs from that Madagascar release from some time ago could wear those together and really have it going on.

Quantities limited. No rainchecks.

--Target Odds and Ends: None to report. But isn't there already enough to digest?

Hoping to track down "The House That Dripped Blood" to rent SOMEWHERE...just waiting for my loan approval to pick up the 376 different "Twilight" DVD's/BDs!

Nothing, at all. Nothing I even want to put off until later or put in my Netflix queue. I'm going to make up for it in March...

Darn--and I was so hoping to take a raincheck on Barbie.

I'll be picking up The Master. Thanks for the prices, Mike!

Thanks for the RoundUp, Mike. I'm slated to review Chasing Mavericks this week, but the review disc has not yet arrived.

Damn! I should've picked up Game of Thrones at Amazon while it was 10 bucks cheaper! Forgot all about it!

Pricematch got2 to target for $29!

Thinks that's gone too or am I misunderstanding you?

Yeah, what up with that? You bought it before today, I'm guessing! Mike, I'm gonna guess you are not too fond of the Twilight Saga. I'm right there with you! Unfortunately, my wife is a big fan, so at some point, Breaking Bad Dawn will enter this house!

This just in...Amazon has dropped its price on Barbie in the Pink Shoes from $21.99 to $14.99!!! Order now!

Thanks, Mike! RE: the Twilight flix, glad my 14-yo got over that phase before too long, so no need to go there w/ these concluding ones. _Man_

Criterion is having a 50% off in stock items flash sale until noon EST tomorrow. So you can get those two new releases today for $20 each, along with whatever else you need in stock. Orders over $50 get free shipping as well.

Dang it. Missed On the Waterfront.

It'll be cheaper during the B&N 50% off sale.

Yep, in July. 5 months earlier gets a few extra dollars this round. That BN rush gets a little extreme with 8 months of releases to sift. The Man Who Knew Too Much got the Upgrade and Save for a decent price, now On the Waterfront, Sansho, and Two Lane Blacktop wont' have to wait until late summer.

I don't understand this statement. Why would 50% off at B&N be cheaper than 50% off from Criterion?

^ No tax if you order from Criterion?

Plus you can combine B&N coupons. I usually pay 17 or less depending on the coupon.

David: In answer to your question, if you hit the Barnes and Noble sale IN THE STORE, you can combine the 50% off with your 10% off B/N Card. Plus there's no shipping.
