Just a heads up on the Target ad: I was in there this morning and all their Food Network DVD's are priced at $16.99, not just the 3 listed in the flyer. I picked up two Rachael Ray sets for $16.99.
Eh. Even then. I liked her in "Office Space" but I don't really follow her regularly. There are many, MANY actresses I'm more enamored with. I'm much more likely to sit through a bad Jessica Alba movie than a bad Jennifer Aniston movie.
Keith Which one are you going to buy. I currently have a samsung that's pretty nice. I wanted to get one that had Divx capability, so I picked up a Phillips, it played Divx well, but it was way too heavy and the screen had some uneven lighting on it so I'm returning it.
I agree completely. I'll wait for eBay on that one. I got the 3-disc Mystic River for $8 there, and I've seen the SE of Sin City for under $20.
Hopefully the HD formats will trend more towards single SE releases. I can't imagine that these overpriced 2-disc sets sell very well, especially with single-disc editions available for so much less.
I don't know, I think some of them sell pretty well, considering they're catering to a niche market.
The problem for me is that many (most) new releases are blind buys, so when the price discrepancy is more than a few dollars, I either opt for the bare bones disc upon release or wait to buy it used or as part of a 2 or 3-for.
Funny thing is, the MSRPs are often about the same on such releases, but I suppose reatilers don't see much profit in discounting the deluxe sets.
Greedy pigs all around.
BTW, thanks for the round up Mike and Patrick. No new releases for me this week, but I did pick up Charlie and the Choclate Factory, Batman Begins, and Monster-in-Law (for my mom) as part of BB's 3/$20 sale. Will probably pick up Munich at some point in the future.
Anyone going to Target this morning can you check if they are selling Earthquake? And how much it is, want to save myself a trip if they are not carrying it.
As much as I liked Munich, I'm going with the 1-disc; just can't justify $12 for the features. Like Jarhead, I'll catch the 2nd disc from Netflix. I was hoping S2 of Rescue Me might mean some deals on S1, but no joy there. Guess I can apply some of those deutsche marks I'm not spending on Munich...Thanks as always, guys! Edit: My BB was out of the 2-disc Munich, so that made my mind up for me!
Well after a looooonnnggg hiatus from the roundup I am back now (that is if anyone other than Mike Frezon noticed I hadn't been around) and hopefully purchasing a few new DVDs.

Rentals will be Rumor Has It, Munich (looks like a good one though), & The New World (filmed 40 mins from me!!).
Welcome back. Between doing my own taxes (state & federal), my daughter's taxes (state & federal) and two different rounds of financial aid paperwork for my two kid's schooling...I can only imagine YOUR springtime is that much worse than mine!
