Weekly Roundup 11/11 ...I'M BACK! (1 Viewer)

I know they don't have "national" prices, but the poster mentioned BB and CC in his post so I assumed both retailers were located in the same area with Wal-Mart which would've dictated Wal-Mart having a price either at $15.99 or slightly lower at $15.87 to compete with the other two retailers pricing. Also, I should have added the caveat about competitive pricing located in the same area around different parts of the country.

Greg,
So which of these Wal-Marts did you go to this morning?

 

[David Lambert]

Was about to mention the 3's Co - S1 at Costco price of $12.99; they also had Cool World, Dragonslayer, and Fairy Tale: A True Story for the same price ($12.99 each). Pumping Iron, too.

Eloise At The Plaza was not at Costco, though. They DID have the Lilo & Stitch DVD/board game for $17.99, however.

Robert I went to the first one by my office which EVERY week but this one they have been the Low Price Leader on all new releases (ie $14.87 on Nemo, $16.73 for Legally Blonde 2, $14.87 for Hulk etc.)

The last which had Nemo for $13.87 normally is only a few pennies different than the BB next to it.

Anyway to make long story short I went back to the WM near my office on the way home from work (its 2 blocks from me) and they had fixed their price to $15.87. I asked the supervisor in the Video dept (same one there at 8am this morning) and sh said they fixed about 2 hours ago (would have been about 4:00pm EST) because others were complaining about the high price and them not being the cheapest around like normal. She they still sold at least 200+ copies today before they fixed the price, LOL.

Oh well I guess need to go in the afternoon after I leave work instead of the morning from now on!!

Are you telling me I can buy a DVD player at Wal-Mart that will play Region 2 DVDs for under $50???

 

[David Lambert]

Dane: YAH!

 

[Kyle McKnight]

I found out tonight that my Best Buy will price match Costco, Fry's, Sams, any online retailer too, as long as they have a phone number where BB can call, verify price, and make sure product is in stock.

 

[Bill J]

BestBuy.com has changed the preorder price for JFK to $19.99

Yup, I just bought it in store for the same price, which is a shame since the first disc is exactly the same as the one I already own.

 

[Ed Faver]

Dave-

Thanks for prepping the shopping list each week! What is on THIS new release of JFK? If this merely a single film release of the version that was in the boxed set? Or has Stone found ANOTHER 45 minutes to add to the movie.

What would be great is if the extras disc contained the Seinfeld episode where John Franco of the NY Mets spit on them & they end up in court...

"Back and to the left, back and to the left..."

 

[Dane Marvin]

Ed -- there was a second spitter!

 

[TonyD]

ed that would be great, except john franco was not in that ep. roger mcdowell was the spitter and keith hernandez was the other met in that ep.

 

[Mike Frezon]

T3 was $15.87 for me at a local Wal-Mart.

(Note to Jeff & Scott: This was Brunswick instead of my usual stop in East Greenbush.)

Cyberhome 300 DVD Player (which is capable of multi-region play from the remote and has built-in PAL-to-NTSC conversion) for $43.86!

Tempting. I order movies from HK and although alot are R0, there are still some good ones that are only R3.
Not to mention the R2 HK Legends titles...
