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).

Thanks for the Roundup, Mike.

I am getting The Skeleton Twins this week, which is a terrific movie that deserved much more of an audience than it received in theaters, and I would recommend checking it out to anybody who has even the slightest interest in it. Also considering Peter Pan Live, which was flawed in places but occasionally thrilling. I would like to see how it plays uninterrupted on DVD, as the commercials making it into a three-hour show were the kiss of death on the broadcast in terms of keeping my attention.

I would also eventually like to get the Tootsie Criterion, but at that price it's not a priority (I know Criterions are more expensive, but I still can't do that right now, so maybe the next time there is a sale.)

Those five second cut-backs to the set in the middle of the commercial breaks with Christopher Walken holding/warbling various long notes weren't enough to hold your attention???

Thanks for the RoundUp, Mike. With all of the sales at Best Buy and Target, this time of year makes doing the RoundUp especially tough, so I appreciate the work.

We asked for The Maze Runner for review, but don't know if Fox will comply. Wait and watch, I guess. I'll eventually get Tootsie during a sales period.

"And buy Arrow: S1 on Blu (Reg. Price $39.99) AND Arrow: S2 on Blu (Reg. Price $54.99) and "Buy Both for $29.99." Frankly, I'm not sure that means you would get both titles for the single price of $29.99 or that you would buy them for $29.99 apiece. I just don't know. "


Confirmation -- you get both seasons for 29.99 total.

Awesome detective work, David.

Nearly each week you contribute valuable information to the RoundUp. Thanks.

That's a VERY good deal.

It's funny.

I asked my wife to look at the Best Buy ad and tell me what she thought it meant. She immediately went into the "well, uh, it could mean this...but it might mean that." mode.

So, I said, "well, if it does mean that you get both sets for $29.99...that WOULD be a really good deal (looking at the MSRPs listed in the ad)."

Now, as tolerant as she is of my software purchases, she nevertheless shot me a look and said, "well, I guess if you're interested in that sort of thing."

Knowing her as I do, I was then able to ask, "you don't even have any idea what those two items were, though. Do you?"

"No. But they didn't look good."

:laugh:

So, I explained that Arrow was about a comic book character who is real good at archery. She says, "I knew I wouldn't like it."

Then she continues to look at me...and look...and look. "I finally said, no, dear. I'm not interested in it either. I was just saying that based on the prices it would be a great deal--for those who wanted to buy that show."

Content in the knowledge that I wasn't buying, she went back about her work.

End scene.

Quite a Superpower she exhibited there Mike

In re-reading my post, David, I could see why you'd say that. But the God's honest truth is that I'm not interested in owning the first two seasons of Arrow.

I used to read the comic book as a kid. I was raised on DC Comics. And the fact that I remember that the strip in those days was written by Neal Adams and Denny Neil goes to show that I spent a lot of time with those comics. But I've never seen the show on TV.

She was just happy to know this wasn't something I wanted.

It's sooooo much fun though, Mike. And WHAT A DEAL!!!
Yeah, it's my favorite CW show right now. The early episodes of season one had quite a few groan-worthy moments, but now that it has found its footing, it's one of the most thrilling action adventure shows on television. Very violent at times though.
