This week's RoundUp is brought to you by...Moses.

 

[Mark-P]

How interesting that Amazon and Best Buy are importing the UK Blu-ray of Cleopatra.

 

[Steve Tannehill]

Thanks to you and Moses for the Round Up.
Cleopatra can be had for under $20 at Amazon.co.uk. It is region-free.
That's a great price for Harry Potter 3D....I wonder if that includes both parts?
Just War Horse 4-disc for me, however.

 

[TonyD]

I guess "Bob" is the short time on the air Bob Newhart show were he was a comic book writer/artist. If it is I might bite on that I liked it.
Btw if you have NF streaming that Elmo movie has been there for awhile.

 

[Joe Isham]

Tony, yes, that is the one you're thinking of. I had given up hope of that ever being released on DVD. I'm sure they're releasing it to capitalize on Betty White-mania.

 

[TonyD]

Marvel published a comic based on the character, I think it was Mad Dog. I have those comics but don't remember if it was any good or not.

 

[Adam Gregorich]

Thanks Mike. Way to sneak in a second picture of Scarlett! War Horse for me this week.

 

[Jesse Skeen]

"Girls Just Want to Have Fun" on Blu-Ray? How'd I miss THAT? Great guilty pleasure!

 

[RickER]

The Wal-Mart exclusive The Poseidon Adventure, on Blu-ray, for me this week.
Thats it for me.
Thanks again Mike.

 

[TravisR]

I'll be picking up War Horse this week and probably wait on a sale for Chinatown.
Thanks for the prices!

That's a great price for Harry Potter 3D....I wonder if that includes both parts?

The picture in the ad is of Deathly Hallows Part 2.

 

[Matt Hough]

I'm slated to review We Bought a Zoo this week, but the review disc has not yet arrived. So, keep eyes out for that write-up at some point this week.

 

[Charles Smith]

The pricing grid is back to "normal" for me this week. Did you drop the pictures or other enhancements, or should I be seeing them? I also don't have any links to the Amazon pricing -- there's one DVD review link and one Blu-ray, but nothing else.

Chrome, Vista Home Premium 64-bit.

 

[DavidJ]

Nothing for me this week which is good since I've been buying at a fast pace and won't have time to watch much in the next couple of weeks. So glad to see the nice, clean release grid this week.

 

[Jason_V]

I enjoyed War Horse, but I don't need to own it. Skipped We Bought a Zoo in the theater and it's in the Netflix queue. I'm not seeing anything I actually need to own this week.

I did notice Fred Meyer had a bin of $7.99 BD's yesterday. Some Ernest title was staring at me, right next to Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend. Next time I'm there I'll try to go through the entire bin to see what's there.

 

[Mike Frezon]

I'm just getting around to looking at my copy of Parade Magazine in my local Sunday paper and I found an ad that indicates a potential $4 savings on the Blu-ray or DVD of We Bought a Zoo--a Wal-Mart EXCLUSIVE.

The ad says:

"Feed Your Zoo at Home

Save $4 on the We Bought a Zoo Blu-ray or DVD, when you purchase any two participating pet food or treat products. (Select sizes. See coupon for details.) Only at Wal-Mart."

That's all the ad says. It does NOT indicate where the coupon might be found.

The ad has an image which includes four different pet food products: Milk-Bone Dog Biscuits, Kibbles 'n Bits Dog Food, Meow Mix Cat Food, Milo's Kitchen Dog Treats.

Maybe the coupons are on the disc cases? Maybe on the food products? My guess would be on the disc case. I'll be checking this out tomorrow.

Are you folks all aware that Scarlett Johansson is in this film?!?

 

[Malcolm R]

I would imagine there is no coupon. Probably you just buy the pet treats and the DVD in one transaction, and the register deducts $4.
Never mind. I now see the text does mention a coupon.

 

[TonyD]

Tried to get a Poseiden today but our Walmart couldn't find their copies.

Turns out the coupons are on the pet products!

My Wal-Mart tongiht had both single disc Blu copies of WBaZ for $19.99...and the Blu Combo Pack for $24.96...price-matched by the store for $22.96. No sign of a coupon in the electronics section or on the disc. They recommended me to check the pet section. And it was on the pet products.

But they are hard to find...because they are only on really big versions of the pet products! I'm a dog person (just ask Moses!). So I didn't check out the Meow Mix.

But the coupons were on the really big (75 ounce) boxes of Milk-Bone treats ($6.98 apiece...but my wife had $1.50 coupons!) and on the 20 ounce bags of Milo's Kitchen Dog Treats ($11.98 per!).

And...beware...because the $4 coupon did NOT scan at the register..and the clerk didn't even notice. Luckily I noticed before I swiped my card and he could straighten it out.

Did I mention that Scarlett Johansson is in We Bought a Zoo?!? I can't remember.

Thanks again Mike.

Yep. Walmart exclusive.
The scanner here said 8 copies but no one could find them,
I'll probably do free ship to store. Easier and won't have to keep going to check if they got it in.
