The Disclaimer
Standard disclaimer: All prices are taken from the websites of each chain, or from their printed Sunday advertisements. All prices are subject to change by each chain. Prices and inventory in-store may or may not match the website price.
I, obviously, cannot include EVERY title released in a given week in the RoundUp. The titles included are those that I am interested in...as well as those which I consider will be of interest to a majority of consumers (and sometimes I’ll miss one!). I don't get paid for this, and I don't have the time to list every DVD. So, please don't complain! If there is a title not included in the RoundUp that you want to see, PLEASE just look it up yourself, and be nice enough to post and share the results with everyone!
Note that I cannot include Wal-Mart/Sam’s Club prices in the RoundUp. They set prices at individual stores based on nearby competition, so there is no way I can say here what price you'll find at YOUR local Wal-Mart/Sam’s Club location. And, Circuit City is still out of business...even in Hawaii (where they NEVER guaranteed their prices anyway).

[Adam Gregorich]

Wreck it Ralph for me! Thanks Mike!

 

[Jason_V]

Wreck-It Ralph 3D set for me. Should be arriving on Tuesday, just as I'm getting home from Vegas. Thanks Mike!!

 

[Matt Hough]

Thanks for the RoundUp, Mike, as always.
I'm supposed to review The Marine 3, but the disc hasn't yet arrived.

 

[TravisR]

I'll pick up Schindler's List this week. Then I have to find a time when I want to go through the emotional wringer of watching it. Wreck-It-Ralph was alot of fun and definitely worth a rental for those that haven't seen it. Thanks for the prices, Mike!

 

[Peter McM]

Slowest week since right after Christmas; nothing for me this week. Next couple weeks hold interest, though. Thanks as always, Mike.

 

[sidburyjr]

The Bestbuy Doctor Who Series 7 is part one only (presumably) since the conclusion of the season starts airing on March 30.

 

[Richard V]

Schindler's List and Westworld for me.

 

[Randy_M]

Westworld, yeah!

 

[Aaron Silverman]

Is it just me, or are The Specials unexpectedly slim pickin's this week? I would've at least expected Ralph to have some retailer exclusives. Incidentally, The Disney Store is doing their usual $10/ $20 coupon pre-order deal, but they are no longer giving out lithographs. Apparently they are telling people that the pre-order lithographs are permanently retired, which is unfortunate.

 

[Mike Frezon]

A link to Kevin's review of Schindler's List is now included in the OP.

 

[Matt Hough]

Hey, how about my review of One Night With the King (which can be found http://www.hometheaterforum.com/t/328188/one-night-with-the-king-blu-ray-review ).
As Glenn Close said in Fatal Attraction, "I will not be IGNORED!"

 

[Mike Frezon]

Matt: I'm on it. I reported to the owners a couple of weeks ago that the link to the review page is broken. I rely upon that to find all the reviews that are done in advance of any given week's releases. Without being able to access that page, I've got no idea which reviews have been done for any week's new releases. Sorry about that. And just as I'm typing this response, I see tha the quote function doesn't seem to be operating correctly. i think we're going to making this upcoming move just in time. EDIT: I'm referring to the "See All Featured Reviews" link at the top of this page in the right-hand column (at the top of the list of the most recent five reviews).

 

[Jake Lipson]

Thanks for the Roundup, Mike. The Intouchables is way too expensive, but I'll get it anyway because it is an extremely special film. Anyonne who has not already seen it during its theatrical run last summer (and based on the grosses that seems to be most people) should make a point of renting it. In other parts of the world where it was a big success, it got a 2-disc special edition, so seeing it come to Region 1 in such a lame edition is extremely disappointing. But the film is worth having and rewatching frequently, so I got it., and I'd encourage others to do the same. Ralph, too, this week. Thanks!

 

[Matt Hough]

Thanks, Mike. Much appreciated.
Put the review for The Marine 3: Homefront up tonight. It can be found here.

http://www.scottbrand.com/offer/disneywreckitralph/receive?OfferGroupID=0 here's a $7 coupon for wreck it ralph on bluray. it says its for the regular bluray combo pack, I'll try to use it on the 3d version today at target. you'll have to sign up for a scott offer and then plug in the code into the disney rewards site

 

[Jake Lipson]

here's a $7 coupon for wreck it ralph on bluray. it says its for the regular bluray combo pack, I'll try to use it on the 3d version today at target.

Thanks for the link. It actually prints out with an image of the 4-disc combo on the coupon. Has anyone tried to use this for the 2-disc version? Knocking $7 off the price of the 4-disc would make it $20.99, or $1 more expensive than the 2-disc, but if you could apply it to the 2-disc, then the 2-disc would go down to $12.99 at Target which would be WONDERFUL. (I have no use for 3D or digital copy.)

 

[Citizen87645]

I successfully used the coupon at Target for the 2-disc version.

 

[ajabrams]

I used the coupon for the 2-disc at Best Buy and also price-matched to get the Target price so I got $12.99 as well.
