-Chad

I guess I will be visiting Circuit City this week.

Dave, at least now I don't have to picture you as
Al Bundy every time I read one of your posts
Read your weekly roundup every week. Keep up the
good work

Another interesting bargain is Say Anything for $11.99 at Circuit City. Very unusual to see a good sale price on a movie that premiered a week ago. And to think I was getting a great deal pre-ordering for $13.99.

Another person who's been looking at your posts for awhile now and appreciate it very much. Keep up the good work!!

Doesn't seems like BB prices are up there nowadays and no longer offer bargains like they used to?

I thought I was going to escape from buying this week... but Fox has to go and release Romeo + Juliet special edition.

Thanks again.

Chad, thanks for the info! Where did you get that from, if I might ask?

In any case, it's welcome. I can finally get Coming to America...yay!

Target has some nice deals this week. I picked up A Few Good Men SE for $12.99. They also had The Patriot & Men In Black at that price. There were a few more, just can't recall them right now.

Targets $12.99 deals:

Also worth noting that Best Buy has "Mel-o-Vison" deals going on: Braveheart for $17.99, and for $12.99 each is The Patriot, What Women Want (is the answer "Mel"? ), Ransom, and Lethal Weapon 4.

David, go to DDD and check out the preorders for March 15th (I think)

-Chad

This is the first time I have checked out "The Weekly Roundup" and all I can say is Great Job!
I'll definatly be picking up Zoolander and now I know where to go. Keep up the good work!

David did I miss something in the cc ad? cause the prices you have look fantastic for zoolander and joyride. I really hope you are right. any way you can ease my worries about this?

Josh, all I can do is repeat my "Standard Disclaimer". Here it is:

. If a price is marked "$_N/A_" in the grid, it means that this title is not shown as available on that chain's website...but it COULD still be in-stores!

So, here is the link to the CC website that shows those prices on those items!
I don't even see CC's print ads until I swing by the store...which I only do if I hit the store on Tuesday to pick up an item that wins on price (the local store sure doesn't win on service!). They don't mail them to my mailbox, and if they're in the Sunday paper, well all I can say is that my toilet paper is a better read than the Memphis Commercial Appeal!
Having said all of that, I will point out that I have never been disappointed about CC's prices being different from website to store, with only a couple of minor exceptions. And no complaints from Roundup readers, either.
Ash: thanks for the compliments!
Chad: thanks for the pointer!

Just so you know, my local (Kansas City area) CC always has higher prices than you list. I've given up even entering their store, but I just might have to give them a call with prices like that.

David if you're looking on getting *American Gigolo* and you move quik there are still a few copies left at Overstock.com at 50 % off the latest SRP markdown, $9.99, and they offer low cost media mail shipping.
