Standard disclaimer: All prices are taken from the websites of each chain, the week of the release (so as to catch any week-of-release sale prices). All prices are subject to change by each chain. Prices and inventory in-store may or may not match the website price. 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!

* Ah, a week off for my wallet. There MIGHT have been a few for me, but it was killed by the infamous "Modified To Fit Your TV" disclaimer. The following titles are being released this week, and are left out of my Roundup because it is my policy to not include modified items: Disney's Max Keeble's Big Move, Columbia/TriStar's Mo' Money and Mountain Men, Artisan's Maid To Order and Wagons East, and even New Concorde's rated and unrated versions of Restless Souls.
* Best Buy will take $5 off the total purchase if you buy DVDs for both the new 2002 and the original 1975 versions of Rollerball at the same time.
* Best buy will also take $5 off the total purchase if you buy both the DVD film and the CD soundtrack for I Am Sam on the same transaction.
* For those of you wondering what was up with Best Buy last week on Frank Herbert's Dune: Special Edition Director's Cut (BB claimed it was delayed until 6/18, even though Artisan themselves stated 6/11 and most other stores had it in-stock): BB shows it in their ad for $17.99 this week. So, apparently they made the decision themselves to delay shipment for a week in order to present a better price. Most of us already got it for $17.99 at Costco or $18.99 at K-Mart, though...so how did this benefit Best Buy? :p)
* BB is also showing a page in their weekly ad circular filled with various Buena Vista studios' titles (Disney, Miramax, Touchstone, Dimension, etc.), and stating that you get $10 off any transaction that includes any three movies on that page. It's about 20 titles, none of them new-this-week, so I won't list them here. But beware that about a quarter of those titles are pan-and-scan, or non-anamorphic, or just plain bad (2 titles are VHS tapes!). On the other hand, Keven Smith fans will find these on that page: Clerks, Chasing Amy, & Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
* On two hardware notes, BB is A) giving away a free DVD of your choice (up to $19.99 value) when you buy any DVD player that is a multi-disc unit...good for the upcoming Pearl Harbor and Fellowship of the Rings extended cuts, eh?, and B) They are clearing out the Toshiba SD-4700 Progressive Scan player for just $218.50. Hmmm....
* Ever wonder why I include so much BB info in the Roundups? Only because they have the most info available via the internet than anyone else does. If someone can point me to better info for Circuit City (preferably an online version of their ad circular, EXACTLY as it appears in the newspaper...when you click on "Weekly Ad" at their website, it doesn't show the sale DVDs there, and if you go to the Movies section you only see the sale prices for new releases, and no info about "deals" or previous releases like you see in the print flyer), then I would accomodate CC fans more! I already have the online representation of the print ads for BB, Target, K-Mart, once a month for Wal-Mart, and whenever they put them out for a few others (like CompUSA).
* Target has a Memorex DVD player for $89.88, if you need one on-the-cheap. They also have I Am Sam and Shipping News for $17.99 (that's the best price for The Shipping News, The Saddle Club (who says I don't include stuff for young girls? ) for $14.99, and Orange County for "Low Price".
* K-Mart has Orange County for $22.95, I Am Sam and The Majestic for $19.95 each, and The Saddle Club for $14.95.
* The Iron Mask is $23.99 at Borders, making it the best price in the Roundup for this one. This is a first, I think: my first silent film in the Roundup! Yay! By the way, you DON'T want to know from the rest of Borders' prices this week! Ugh.
The latest markdowns according to VideoTropics web site (DVD Title/Old SRP/New SRP):
-------------------------
None for the rest of June, but large groups of titles getting markdowns in July and August! Watch for them...
