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 with 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! Die Another Day is available in both Widescreen and Fullscreen versions...get the correct one.
* Non-OAR discs are left off the Roundup, whenever they've been identified in advance. Example: 3 Ninjas, Miracle Mile. This does NOT apply to markdowns, which are simply cut-and-paste from other lists.
* Best Buy has BONUS DISC MANIA! Bonus Discs will be attached to the packages for these 4 items (should all also be available at Suncoast, MediaPlay, Sam Goody, and perhaps in FutureShop up in Canada):
·Die Another Day - Special Edition ("Bond Girls Are Forever" DVD)
·The Fast and the Furious - Tricked-Out Edition (design your own car decals, screensavers, photo montage...is this a CD-ROM?)
·South Park - The Complete Second Season (original version of the pilot DVD)
·Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - The Complete Third Season (The U.S.S. Defiant featurette DVD)
* Circuit City has a DVD-ROM (with unspecified content) available when you buy Die Another Day. There's also a mousepad available with your Anamatrix purchase (either version, which you can combine with The Matrix for just $7.99 more).
* Target is giving away a free 2-liter bottle of 7-Up when you purchase Die Another Day. The "Low Price" there on The Fast and the Furious - Tricked-Out Edition seems like it will be $14.99. Animatrix & About Schmidt may also be that low, but take it with a grain of salt. It'll be close, though.
* Costco has this deal: "When you pre-order Die Another Day - Special Edition DVD before June 3, 2003, you will receive a James Bond DVD free. Choose from The World Is Not Enough DVD or Moonraker DVD. The free James Bond DVD will be included with your shipment of Die Another Day - Special Edition DVD." It does NOT look like this deal will be available in-stores once the street date hits.
* The Fast and the Furious - Tricked Out Edition includes a free ticket to 2 Fast, 2 Furious in select boxes.
* At Best Buy, when you buy T2 - Extreme Edition and either Stargate - Ultimate Edition or Total Recall - Special Edition you will get them at a "2 for $25" deal.
* Best Buy also has a deal: "Buy any new release and get up to 3 of these DVDs for 7.99 each (regular price is 9.99): Rudy, Predator, Patton, A Few Good Men, Wall Street, Blue Streak, The Wedding Planner, The Boondock Saints, Legends of the Fall, Saving Silverman, Girl Interrupted, As Good As It Gets, A River Runs Through It, Commando, Can't Hardly Wait, Cruel Intentions, The Quick and The Dead, Sink The Bismarck, Quest for Life, or The Flight of the Phoenix".
* And Best Buy has ANOTHER deal: "Buy any new release and get up to 3 of these DVDs for 11.99 each (regular price is 14.99): Mr. Deeds, Big Daddy, The Comancheros, North To Alaska, The Undefeated, The 13th Warrior, Stand By Me, Office Space, Fight Club, Shanghai Noon, Pearl Harbor (non-Vista), The Sixth Sense (non-Vista), Tombstone (non-Vista), Father of the Bride, Father of the Bride Part II, Behind Enemy Lines, Remember the Titans, The Last of the Mohicans, Men of Honor, or Super Troopers".
* A couple of weeks ago, some catalog titles slipped underneath my radar screen and got missed in the Roundup. Released on 5/20 were The Comancheros, North To Alaska, Flight of the Phoenix (those three were mentioned in those last two Best Buy deals), The Long Hot Summer, & BRUBAKER (the last is a favorite of mine!
). This probably happened the most because of the low-key way that retailers handle catalog titles...these didn't appear on anyone's "new this week!" list and certainly not in anyone's ads. Even Amazon didn't appear to list them until after the street date. :frowning: It's shabby treatment, but understandable I guess in that every title can't be promoted as a blockbuster and overnight-shipped in. At least they can stock them on their shelves a few weeks later? It seems not: for the last two, I spent a significant amount of time yesterday looking for these in all the retailers I go to in my immediate neighborhood (Best Buy, Circuit City, Costco, K-Mart, Wal-Mart, Suncoast, Target). No dice. I will venture farther than that to Borders and see if these are there, where the catalog pickings are usually very good. If not, I'll just head on-line to grab these...no sense in waiting for a jewel like Brubaker.
* And, on that note, I'll mention that both Best Buy and Circuit City's websites are very ambiguous about whether the Sneakers listing is for the old version or the new Collector's Edition. Both list only one release, at a very low price. Normally I'll believe this to be the old version, but Universal's releasing this CE at an extremely low price (SRP $14.98). So it's believable that $9.99 and $12.99 are the store prices for this new version. Wanna take bets as to how many weeks (or is it months?) it will be before they stock it, though? :rolleyes

* BE CAREFUL! Die Another Day is available in both Widescreen and Fullscreen versions...get the correct one.
* Non-OAR discs are left off the Roundup, whenever they've been identified in advance. Example: 3 Ninjas, Miracle Mile. This does NOT apply to markdowns, which are simply cut-and-paste from other lists.
* Best Buy has BONUS DISC MANIA! Bonus Discs will be attached to the packages for these 4 items (should all also be available at Suncoast, MediaPlay, Sam Goody, and perhaps in FutureShop up in Canada):
·Die Another Day - Special Edition ("Bond Girls Are Forever" DVD)
·The Fast and the Furious - Tricked-Out Edition (design your own car decals, screensavers, photo montage...is this a CD-ROM?)
·South Park - The Complete Second Season (original version of the pilot DVD)
·Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - The Complete Third Season (The U.S.S. Defiant featurette DVD)
* Circuit City has a DVD-ROM (with unspecified content) available when you buy Die Another Day. There's also a mousepad available with your Anamatrix purchase (either version, which you can combine with The Matrix for just $7.99 more).
* Target is giving away a free 2-liter bottle of 7-Up when you purchase Die Another Day. The "Low Price" there on The Fast and the Furious - Tricked-Out Edition seems like it will be $14.99. Animatrix & About Schmidt may also be that low, but take it with a grain of salt. It'll be close, though.
* Costco has this deal: "When you pre-order Die Another Day - Special Edition DVD before June 3, 2003, you will receive a James Bond DVD free. Choose from The World Is Not Enough DVD or Moonraker DVD. The free James Bond DVD will be included with your shipment of Die Another Day - Special Edition DVD." It does NOT look like this deal will be available in-stores once the street date hits.
* The Fast and the Furious - Tricked Out Edition includes a free ticket to 2 Fast, 2 Furious in select boxes.
* At Best Buy, when you buy T2 - Extreme Edition and either Stargate - Ultimate Edition or Total Recall - Special Edition you will get them at a "2 for $25" deal.
* Best Buy also has a deal: "Buy any new release and get up to 3 of these DVDs for 7.99 each (regular price is 9.99): Rudy, Predator, Patton, A Few Good Men, Wall Street, Blue Streak, The Wedding Planner, The Boondock Saints, Legends of the Fall, Saving Silverman, Girl Interrupted, As Good As It Gets, A River Runs Through It, Commando, Can't Hardly Wait, Cruel Intentions, The Quick and The Dead, Sink The Bismarck, Quest for Life, or The Flight of the Phoenix".
* And Best Buy has ANOTHER deal: "Buy any new release and get up to 3 of these DVDs for 11.99 each (regular price is 14.99): Mr. Deeds, Big Daddy, The Comancheros, North To Alaska, The Undefeated, The 13th Warrior, Stand By Me, Office Space, Fight Club, Shanghai Noon, Pearl Harbor (non-Vista), The Sixth Sense (non-Vista), Tombstone (non-Vista), Father of the Bride, Father of the Bride Part II, Behind Enemy Lines, Remember the Titans, The Last of the Mohicans, Men of Honor, or Super Troopers".
* A couple of weeks ago, some catalog titles slipped underneath my radar screen and got missed in the Roundup. Released on 5/20 were The Comancheros, North To Alaska, Flight of the Phoenix (those three were mentioned in those last two Best Buy deals), The Long Hot Summer, & BRUBAKER (the last is a favorite of mine!
* And, on that note, I'll mention that both Best Buy and Circuit City's websites are very ambiguous about whether the Sneakers listing is for the old version or the new Collector's Edition. Both list only one release, at a very low price. Normally I'll believe this to be the old version, but Universal's releasing this CE at an extremely low price (SRP $14.98). So it's believable that $9.99 and $12.99 are the store prices for this new version. Wanna take bets as to how many weeks (or is it months?) it will be before they stock it, though? :rolleyes
