Weekly RoundUp 8/3/04 (1 Viewer)

[Alex S]

I thought Target has the Princess Diaries for $17.99 and CC has it for $19.99 ?

 

[Mark Zimmer]

Is Darby O'Gill OAR?

 

[willyh]

DVDsoon.com has Zorba the Greek for $7.50 ($9.99Ca) with free shipping. Takes over a week to arrive, but that is a good price.

 

[TonyD]

[Mike Frezon]

I'm hoping someone will report that very answer here soon. Seems like we've always got those questions with the Buena Vista/Disney releases. Its a shame.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Inserted last week's Zombi 2 prices into this week's RoundUp. Thanks for the reminder, Seven!

 

[george kaplan]

Finding this out may be impossible. I don't think there's even concensus on what the OAR is. Unless the dvd is obviously pan & scanned, it'll probably be a guessing game as to whether it's OAR, approximately OAR, open-matte, or something else. If anyone can tell us definitively what the OAR is for Darby O'Gill, I'd like to hear it.

 

[Alex S]

Nevermind Mike, my mistake.
It looked like you had Princess Diaries at CC for $17.99 and N/A at Target.

 

[Larry Gelfand]

Are you sure about that? Those are the titles Universal originally posted, but later they replaced "100 Men and a Girl" with "Something in the Wind".

[Mike Frezon]

Youse guys (and gals) are sharp! Without a doubt, this thread involves the sharpest members of the HTF!

Thanks, Larry! Changed the RoundUp.

 

[Casey Trowbridg]

Thanks, but nothing for me this week.

Probably get NCAA Football 2005 for the XBox though.

 

[Steve...O]

Thanks Mike.

I'll likely get the Kino Slapstick DVDs (Stan Laurel, Charley Chase, L&H, et al) and the A&C collection.

[Zen Butler]

Thank you Mike, thank corn all those movies really, really suck! [/end donut brain]



Thanks Carlo for the thread idea.

 

[Alex S]

Mike you can add Costco to the list for Princess Diaries SE.
I just picked it up for $17.49.

 

[ChrisBEA]

Let's see:
Knight Rider
13 going on 30
A&C Vol 3
Black Hole
Garage Days
Zombi 2 SE

Possibly the Picard collection, not a bad deal for 7 eps!

 

[LarryH]

I'm beginning to wonder if there's any reason to continue listing Best Buy here. My store charged me $16.99 instead of $14.99 for Darby O'Gill, The Black Hole, and Something Wicked.

If they are selling them at $14.99 in other stores, I'm going to boycott them.

They also refused to match the price from their website.

This is not the first time I have encountered this situation at BB: on July 6 North Avenue Irregulars was also $16.99 instead of $14.99

 

[Mike Frezon]

Gee, Larry, I've only ever seen the occasional discrepancy between bestbuy.com and Best Buy store prices in the past. That's mighty interesting!

Anyone else had similar problems?



Done! Thanks, Alex!

 

[george kaplan]

Yes, a couple of weeks ago I was going to buy something (don't remember what), that was listed here as $14.99, but when I got to the store it was $16.99. I figured it was an isolated incident, but maybe not. :frowning:

 

[Seven Araujo]

I found that when i went to buy Zombi 2 25th SE the 2 disk expanded set was only 14.99...
nice for me because im sure it was a price mistake til i came to the register and it rang up for Zombi 2 SE 14.99
so...=)

 

[James D]

Best Buy is only charging $14.99 for the 2 disc version of Zombi 2. I don't know if it's a mistake or not, but this is a sweet deal if you're into Euro gore.
