It spun in. There were no survivors.

Standard disclaimer: All prices are taken from the websites of each chain, or from their printed advertisements, the Sunday of the week of 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 or perhaps in their ads...but it COULD still be in-stores!
$_"LP" means the advertisement says "Low Price", and $_"HP" means the advertisement says "Hot Price". Use of either of these in the Roundup grid indicates that I could not locate a definate price for the item, and the ad is all I have to go on. Retailers use these phrases in advertisements so that they do not violate MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) agreements which the studios. Doing so can cost them thousands or even millions of dollars in co-op advertising funds.
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 five-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! City By The Sea, The Four Feathers, & One Hour Photo are all available in both Widescreen and Fullscreen versions...get the correct one.
* Non-OAR discs are, as usual, entirely left off the Roundup. Example: How To Beat The High Cost Of Living.
* CompUSA has the best price on M*A*S*H Season 3, coming in with $27.99. Don't look for any other best buys there, as they are $19.99 each for City By The Sea, One Hour Photo, & Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams
* Target shows "Low Price" in their ad for both The Four Feathers and for Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams. My sources say each will be $16.99, but I can't know for sure until Tuesday.
* Per John Co, the Toys R Us flyer states that Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams will be $14.99! Thanks a lot for that info, John!
* Best Buys got some extra deals, as usual: Save $5 instantly with purchase of Spy Kids 2 and any other Disney DVD. Buy A Bronx Tale for only $4.99 with purchase of City By The Sea on same receipt. Save $10 instantly on M*A*S*H Season 3 and either Season 1 or Season 2 on the same receipt. All three of these deals are in-store only.
* Not exactly a "Roundup" item, as it's neither on new product or newly marked-down products, but Costco has a $4 coupon (good 2/17 through 2/23) good for "20th Century Fox Assorted DVDs". All items are $12.99 regularly, but with the coupon are $8.99! Titles may be limited to those pictured, or perhaps are not. The five pictured are these: Behind Enemy Lines, Castaway, Shallow Hal, Don't Say A Word, Kiss of the Dragon. "Selection may vary by warehouse". This coupon is part of the brochures they hand out at the doors. If noone is doing this at your location, ask at the membership desk. It's white, black, and (mostly) two shades of blue, and a one page thing with perforations for the double-sided coupons (back side is the UPC code for scanning the coupon). There's also a $5 off PS2 two-pack video games, taking $29.99 items down to $24.99...someone tell Glenn!
* Sorry for the somber M*A*S*H quote up there. If it reminds you of a certain recent disaster, then GOOD! I've heard waaaay too many people take the Columbia tragedy too lightly, and yet we still find it in our hearts to cry tears for fictional characters. When you see this tragic scene (no spoilers from me), please shed a tear for our lost heroes, and do your part to avoid further tragedies...whereever they may occur.
