* Best Buy is discounting 10% off of all DVD Collector Sets. "Sale limited to in-stock items. Selection varies by store. No rainchecks." This is directly applicable to Friends Season 1, and so you should take the price in the Roundup and figure in that discount. This ought to also apply to Thunderbirds and Avengers, and perhaps to Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy (depends on whether the register person will agree that it is a "collectors set"; sometimes the box design is the deciding factor).
* Best Buy will take $8 instantly if you buy all three of these on the same purchase: Ali, Not Another Teen Movie, and Jerry Maguire Special Edition. Don't want all three? Not to worry: If you buy any two of those three titles on the same purchase, you can still save $5 instantly.
* Target has Not Another Teen Movie for just $16.99, Spider-Man: The Ultimate Villian Showdown for $14.99, and Ali is a "Low Price".
* K-Mart has Ali and Not Another Teen Movie for $19.95. Spider-Man: Ultimate Villian Showdown is the same $14.95 as it is everywhere else, PLUS you get a free 2-liter bottle of Dr. Pepper or Diet Dr. Pepper. Are you a pepper?
The latest markdowns according to VideoTropics web site (DVD Title/Old SRP/New SRP):

Uh...none. Look for some more in May, though.

Nada. Zero. Bupkis.

Excellent job. Premium price on Friends Season 1 from Warner Brothers, but I'll likely grab it to encourage more such releases.

Thanks David, looks like CC for NATM; too bad they don't carry "Cooking With Porn Stars". Its for a friend, honest.

Matt...I included that title for everyone here at HTF who participated in this thread!
Uh...I didn't see your name there?

I went to BB and got the sopranos first season with the 10% discount, and also got an additional $10 off for trying msn for a free 30 day trial. about $18 off all together.

Looks like I wont be picking up Resident Evil on the Gamecube come Wednesday....
Ali 17.99+
Jerry Maguire SE 17.99+
Not Another Teen Movie 17.99+
Friends Season 1 49.99+

Can't add $50 in for a game...

eric, one of the employees had a notebook in the dvd section, and he told me about the offer.

the way it works is they sign you up for a free 30 day trial. then they give you $10 off of a purchase. it can be $2 off up to 5 DVDs or $10 off of one.

I guess they are not supposed to combine it with the 10% discount on collector sets, but i talked my guy in to hooking me up with the double bonus.

Yet another week without anything I want to purchase. However, next week is going to have a ton, and there are things every week for a while. I'm saving my money furiously, and very much looking forward to next week's update.

Curious...what are you looking for George? Next week is probably slow for me; am I missing something?

Kinda redundant now but I did post elsewhere at the time - BB had the latest Thunderbirds sets (that are "officically" released 4/30) on the shelves two weeks ago.

Not to speak for George, but there are several intriguing titles for May 7:

Star Trek: TNG Season 2

Ocean's Eleven (2001)

Old Yeller

Pollyanna

Swiss Family Robinson

The Parent Trap

Blood Simple

Ripping Friends

those 4 vault disney titles sound good next week.

See, I was thinking "TNG & 3/4 Vault Disney"; O-11 had slipped my mind, and I'm not sure if I even knew about Blood simple!
I woulda found it when I did the Roundup, though!
Thanks,

Yep, Trek & Disney next week.
Other May titles I'll be buying:
Harry Potter
Monkey Business
Duel (it's still listed as coming 5/21 at some sites, I can hope can't I )
Sorry, Wrong Number
Oliver & Company

Hmm...it looks like Jerry Maguire and Not Another Teen Movie (grossly sick and funny) for me.

THE LAST WALTZ will also be next week, May 7.
EDIT: Oh, and also, THE MANY ADVENTURES OF WINNIE THE POOH.

Don't forget WAKING LIFE coming on May 7th.

I hope there are some good Brick & Mortar deals on this title--the lowest onlince price I've found is $20.99!

Thanks again David!

Heading over to BB tomorrow to pick up Friends and Jerry Maguire.

David, I had no idea you did this round-up! Thanks a lot, man! I could have been checking here for a long time! Now I know that CC has NATM for cheapest!

I'm not gonna be getting Trek and Friends like most of y'all, but I'm waiting for the Memento Special Edition.
