[COLOR= rgb(255, 0, 0)]The Disclaimer[/COLOR] [COLOR= rgb(0, 0, 0)]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[/COLOR]. 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 [COLOR= rgb(255, 0, 0)]RoundUp[/COLOR] 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 [COLOR= rgb(255, 0, 0)]RoundUp[/COLOR]. 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).

Nada, nothing! (except for some fitness DVDs)

 

[EricSchulz]

I want to eventually pick up the I Love Lucy Movie to complete my collection. I'm renting Survivors based on a friend's recommendation.

 

[TravisR]

I'll pick up the I Love Lucy disc and the Dune Blu-ray at some point in time.

Thanks for the prcies, guys!

 

[Peter McM]

Just It's Complicated for me this week.

 

[Jason_V]

The next GI Joe set for sure when it hits sale price. Probably Armageddon at some point, too, though it's nothing I need to have right now. Public Enemies is slowly approaching the price point where I'd be happy to pick it up.

 

[Bill Thomann]

Looking for Armageddon but don't like the prices. If I wanted Tombstone Best Buy has a good combo deal & Amazon an even better one but I don't want Tombstone.

You and me both, Bill. I'm planning on exercising some patience and hoping for the price to come down soon enough.

Patience is NOT a strong suit of mine but I shall try to practice it for Armageddon. I've got a 3 disc blu ray holder to put it in along with the Criterion double dvd which I'm saving (for the features). I hate to wait but I just can't see paying so much for a bare bones release (even though the anamorphic ws blu is supposed to be quite nice).

 

[Mike Frezon]

I might go the Amazon route on Armageddon, Bill....but I wouldn't be surprised--like I said before--to see deals popping up on that title pretty soon.

 

[dpippel]

You guys are passing up Tombstone for Armageddon? Really? Wow. To each their own.

[Sam Posten]

Nada for me this week. All too expensive.

 

[Andrew Pierce]

The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus into the Netflix queue. I didn't catch it in the theater, and I would probably blind buy it, except I did that for The Brothers Grimm, so no. Maybe that sale Observe and Report, bless its black heart.

 

[Mike Frezon]

I meant to mention that our own HTFer, Scott McGillivray told us in a thread (I think it was back at Academy Award time) that he had a bit role in The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus.

That's pretty cool!

 

[Sam Posten]

Pics or it didn't happen!

HERE'S the post! I've revived the thread by asking him where we might find him on the disc...

[Bill Thomann]

Armageddon blu ray at Wal Mart $20 minus 10% (brother's employee) discount = $18 + tax (& I didn't have to wait).

 

[Jason_V]

Speaking of Wally World, The Great Mouse Detective was $10 when I walked in today. Perfect price for me. Might wanna check it out local stores for other deals on Warner TV, too.
