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).

Thanks Mike! High Noon and Singing in the Rain (1 disc) for me!

 

[SVTStingRay]

wow finally the butterfly effect on bluray, thats a must buy!

 

[Adam Gregorich]

Matt will have a review up this week, but the first ten minutes for Friends With Kids looks pretty funny:

Hopefully, it'll be up later today.

I put up the review for Lockout last evening, and that review can be found here.

 

[Al.Anderson]

I can't find any information about the High Noon 60th anniversary edition. Is there anything special about it worthy of a repurchase?
(Amazon doesn't even list a DVD version, just a BR. Is it a BR release?)

 

[Hollywoodaholic]

Invasion of the Body Snatchers on blu-ray. I'm in that pod.

 

[Doug Wallen]

This week - Singin' In The Rain (blu-ray).
When they reach sale price will be in for Invasion of the Body Snatcher's and High Noon (blu-ray).

[Citizen87645]

I just posted my review of the Singin' in the Rain Collector's Edition.

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

And, you can get up to $5 in bonus movie cash to see The Dark Knight Rises with the purchase of one of the following $9.99 Blu-ray steelbook BB exclusives:  Batman Begins, The Dark Knight...OR, the $39.99 Blu-ray Christopher Nolan Director's Collection (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Inception, memento, Insomnia).  Each of the two steelbooks includes a sneak peek of the the trilogy documentary "The Dark Knight Reborn."  The Dark Knight Rises in theaters 7-20-12.  Offer expires 8-5-12.

I took advantage of this yesterday. For everybody's information, Walmart currently has the Batman Begins Blu-Ray in the standard packaging for $7.88 with the $5 TDKR movie cash; I believe The Dark Knight is also available at the same price with the same movie cash offer.
I went with the Best Buy option though. I'm VERY hesitant to upgrade my existing DVDs to Blu-Ray, especially when the DVD was a limited edition or store exclusive as my Batman Begins DVD was. But I wanted to revisit the two earlier films in Nolan's Batman trilogy this week so I'd have the whole story fresh in my mind for Friday, and with movie cash (assuming the theater actually takes it this time) it was no-brainer to experience the story in 1080p all the way through. For the two dollars and change price difference, it was worth it to have the beautiful steelbook packaging. I wish all movies had that option; I'd pay the premium every time.

It is Blu-ray only.

 

[Adam Gregorich]

Is there a 2 disc set of Singing in the Rain, or just the one disc or deluxe set?

 

[DavidJ]

Singin' in the Rain and High Noon for me this week.

Not that I know of.

 

[Mike Frezon]

It is Blu-ray only.

I've got a link to a High Noon DVD at Amazon HERE (and in the grid above).

 

[Mike Frezon]

Not that I know of.

Well...now I know a bit more after reading Cameron's review thread. There is a 2-disc UK release which won't be available here in the US until later this year.

 

[Mike Frezon]

I've now added the links to Cameron's review of Singin' In the Rain and Matt's review of Friends With Kids in the OP.

Thanks, fellas.

 

[Adam Gregorich]

Thats what I get for skimming!

 

[TonyD]

Doug

Olive releases don't seem to get discounted much lower than $17.xx.
I've had a bunch of them in my amazion cart for ages and they just don't go down.
Some of these are also out at BB already. I bought mean streets and saw Butterfly effect today.

Thanks Mike (and Adam). Sorry about that, I just went to Amazon and searched and couldn't find anything; it usually shows both BR and DVD.
But still no info on whether there's anything different. Oh well, I just stick with what I have.
