I hope you get the special 'lenticular cover' with the 2-disc Batman Begins at Best Buy as well. I'm a sucker for special packaging.

 

[EricSchulz]

Here are a few of the Target new release prices for items not listed in the circular:

Batman Begins Deluxe Ed $24.99
Unscripted $29.99
Elektra Directors Cut $19.99
Big Lebowski CE $14.99

BTW, I got no $3 coupon with the Cinderella Gift Set I purchased at Target...

 

[Greg S]

Thanks for the Roundup fellas!

Batman Begins Deluxe (ordered from Amazon)
He-Man -- wasn't going to get but BB came through with a nice price and I cannot pass it up

Batman Anthology will have to wait.

I ended up going to Target, and I managed to get Batman Begins Deluxe Edition for $19.99.

 

[Bleddyn Williams]

I was just at Best Buy, and took a look at their lenticular Batman covers. They are quite nice!

NOT nice enough to pay a full $7 & tax on top of Amazon's price though!

 

[ScottNJ]

My local Target is also selling Batman Begins Deluxe Edition as a "temporary price cut" for $19.99. By using my $5.00 gift card I got for purchasing the Nightmare On Elm Street set earlier in the week, it came out to $14.99!!

Across the street, Wal-mart was selling it for $24.87...

State College, PA Best Buy took both the Cinderella Coupons for Toy Story and Tarzan, in addition to the package deal. Not bad at all, in the end.

Also the Batman 2-disc set (The 1989 movie) was coming up at 19.99. They corrected it for me, but beware.

Scored Lifeboat at Sam's Club for $11.88.

Neither Sam's nor Costco had any sign of the Reeves Superman set so I picked it up at BB for $24.99 with the help of some McDonald's coupons

Also picked up the 1943 Batman serial at BB for $14.99 which is an absolute steal. Thanks for alerting us to this special in the Round-Up Mike!

I grabbed the Batman Begins 1-disc online for $14.99 with some best buy bucks - picked it up at the store.

In store I grabbed Toy Story & Tarzan using the $3 off coupons from Cinderella (used a print out of the coupons ...I forgot to grab mine this morning). I had to go to the personal shopper guy (Does anyone elses BB have this?) to get the additional $6 off to work with the mfg coupons. Used $6 of the Best Buy Bucks I used online and got them for $17.79

 

[Patrick.C]

The what? A personal shopper?!

I pre-ordered my copy of Batman Begins: DE on CircuitCity.com for $14.99, but I don't think it has shipped as yet.

Those contemplating a pre-order of Titanic (3-Disc Special Edition) may want to hold off. Circuit City's website has a pre-order price of $19.99, but next week's flyer has it listed for $17.99. Not sure what Best Buy's price will be (won't know until Thursday), but I doubt BB's price will be as competitive.

 

[Wayne W]

Yep. They have a station setup in the middle of the store. They say you can call or e-mail them with a list of items and they will track them down for you. Also, they help with price/item issues, etc. And it's....Free. They recently re-designed the store and added this.

They have helped me twice with discounts/coupons that customer service wouldn't budge on.

 

[Ray H]

Any luck with the Batman Anthology at Sam's Club or Costco?

 

[Mike Frezon]

Woohoo!

Talk about one satisfied customer! My order of Batman Begins and Lifeboat from amazon.com was waiting for me at home when I got off work this afternoon! Packaging was awesome. An oversized box contained the two discs shrink-wrapped side-by-side to a piece of sturdy cardboard inside the box with a shipping order attached.

The order cost me $29.97. $15.98 for Batman Begins and $13.99 for Lifeboat. Shipping was FREE!

The best I could have done locally is at Best Buy where I would have paid $22.99 for Batman Begins and $14.99 for Lifeboat. That total would have been $37.98. Add on 8.25% sales tax and the total becomes $41.11!

That's a savings of $11.14!

I'm a believer! I'm a believer! Quick! What else should I buy!?!?

 

[TravisR]

Mike, one thing I like about Amazon is that if you have a problem (defective disc, it got scratched, etc.) with a DVD you bought from them, they ship you a replacement copy ASAP. You don't have to ship the defective copy to them and then wait to have them ship you another copy, they just ship you another copy out.

Hopefully, you won't have any problems but if you do...

 

[Mark Zimmer]

Best Buy was all out of the Batman Anthology boxes by 3 PM when I went. The staff said they only got four of them in. Idiots. There's a sale they lost to DDD.

 

[Shawn.F]

Does anyone know if the Wal-Mart price of $15.87 for Batman Begins 2-Disc set was strictly for online orders only? I was a bit miffed when I drove over to the store and it was price for $24.87 (my local BJ's had it for $20, so I bought it there).

 

[Citizen87645]

Swung into Costco and it only had the Batman singles at 18.49 each. Batman Begin 2-disc was 21.xx

 

[Paul D G]

Picked up Batman Begins at BB. Took me ages to find a slipcase that wasn't damaged in some way. Nearly every one had some crumple or severe nick on them. They had a huge display in the back of the store (where the new release table was !!) and I found one there.

They only had three of the boxed sets and only one of those was undamaged as well.

Debating on the Batman serial DVD. Cover is almost worth the price alone. I think my son will enjoy it since he's too young to watch the other movies.

And, finally, BB does it again with only Full Screen copies of Land of the Dead. When I asked if they had any WS copies the drone checked, and said he had no record and tried to pull the "some studios release a SE a few months so you should wait for that." I said "No, I'll go over to CC and pick it up there."
