The Disclaimer
 

Standard disclaimer:All prices are taken from the websites of each chain, or from theirprinted Sunday advertisements. All prices are subject to change by eachchain. Prices and inventory in-store may or may not match the websiteprice.

I, obviously, cannot include EVERY title released in a given week inthe RoundUp.The titles included are those that I am interested in...as well asthose 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'tcomplain! If there is a title not includedin the RoundUp that youwant to see, PLEASE just look it up yourself, and be nice enough topost 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, sothere is no way I can say here what price you'll find at YOUR localWal-Mart/Sam’s Club location. And, Circuit City is still outof business...even in Hawaii (where they NEVER guaranteed their pricesanyway).

I'll be reviewing The Vanishing when it gets here. I had also requested Fedora and Miss Marple Volume 1, but sadly no sign of either.


Thanks for the Roundup, Mike.

Is the Criterion of The Vanishing the original or the US remake? The original blew me away, but I hated the "Americanized" ending of the remake. Now, if there is an alternate US ending to see....

Nothing for me this week. I'd like to pick up WKRP at some point.

I made a quick stop at Target this morning and picked up The Good Wife: Season 5 for $15.

I was really hoping they'd have had seasons 1-4 for $15, too. But, alas, no other seasons of TGW were on their shelves. :(

So, I just went to Amazon and pulled the trigger on seasons 1-3 for about the same overall price ($13, $16 and $15 respectively). Season 4 is up around $22.xx right now. I'll probably find it cheaper soon enough.

I know I'll be kicking myself as these will probably be available for dirt cheap around Black Friday...

If you're an Amazon Prime member, Mike, the first five seasons of "The Good Wife" are free to stream, as well. They might even be in HD; I'm not sure.

But do you "want" enough stuff to make the trip? :biggrin:
Yes, the want is always there. It's fortunate that the only credit card Costco accepts is American Express (which I don't have) or I'd probably really be in a financial hole. :)
