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!
I only include the titles I feel like including. In fact, the titles are pretty much the ones I'm personally interested in, with few exceptions. I don't get paid for this, and I don't have time to devote to doing every DVD. I have a lovely wife and a four-year-old son I'd rather spend time with. Please don't complain. If there is a title not included in the Roundup that you want to see, just look it up yourself, and be nice enough to post and share the results with everyone...like I do!
Note that Circuit City does not guarantee their sale prices in Hawaii.

* BE CAREFUL! Serving Sara is available in both Widescreen and Fullscreen versions...get the correct one.
* Non-OAR discs are, as usual, entirely left off the Roundup. Examples: The Master of Disguise, Dennis the Menace Strikes Again, Free Willy 3: The Rescue.
* I've moved Target into the Roundup grid this week. Here's why: they have good prices (maybe not always the lowest on the street, but still usually competitive) and often lately they have more Roundup titles for me to list than either Costco or Sam's. K-Mart does, too, but I'm going to discontinue looking very hard at them, as they are no longer even in the ballpark (it's rare to find them discounting new releases these days). This week isn't the best example, as actually the same 2 titles I list for Target in the grid can be found at K-Mart for 4¢ less, but this is definately the exception, and not the rule. And, with K-Mart closing so many more stores, it just makes sense. So, to sum it up: I'm dropping K-Mart as a routine, and moving Target to the grid. Now you don't have to scan the bullet points in the Roundup post anymore to compare the base prices; you should see it all in the grid. If Target (or Circuit City or Best Buy or anyone else) runs a special "get this and get that together at a special 'combo' price" deal, I'll continue to mention it in a bullet point. If K-Mart (or CompUSA or Borders or anyone else) who isn't routinely listed in the Roundup has a great price on something, I'll mention it in a bullet point.
* Like this combo deal: Best Buy gives you a free $10 gift card, when you purchase $50 in Music and Movies. "Limit 3 $10 cards per customer, on purchases up to $150. In-store only. Cards good on future purchases only." Looking at the prices this week on the non-kiddie titles, they would HAVE to offer this incentive in order to remain competitive with Circuit City. I guess it depends on how much you plan to spend, though. A good deal, but only if you plan to load up.
