I, obviously, cannot include EVERY title released in a given week in the RoundUp[/COLOR]. 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!

Note that I cannot include Wal-Mart/Sam’s Club prices in the [COLOR= rgb(255, 0, 0)]RoundUp[/COLOR]. 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).

and maybe a few more

[ScottJH]

Bestbuy.com has the Blu-Rays of Rambo-Extended for $9.99 & Batman: Under The Red Hood

for $6.99. Both of these titles were released just last week!


edit: Deal is now dead.

 

[TravisR]

Big week for me, I plan on picking up the Blu-rays of The Breakfast Club, Escape From New York, Kick-Ass and Piranha.


Thanks for the prices, guys!

 

[Len Berkoski]

What about reviews of Escape from New York, including special features?

 

[EricSchulz]

A possible rental on Kick-Ass, but otherwise, nada....


Thanks Mike and Patrick!

 

[Adam Gregorich]

Thanks Mike and Patrick! I'll wait for Matt's review on Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and I'll wait for Bull Durham and Escape from New York to get closer to $12 to pull the trigger. On the fence about Kick Ass....The trailer looked pretty good.

That just pisses me off. I picked Batman up at Target yesterday for a (good) price of $19.99. GGGGRRRRRR!

 

[terry deto]

If you live near a best buy, they will price match their web price.

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

Kick-Ass for sure this week, and maybe Unforgiven (if it's Pat's price and not Mike's price)

Pricing error/deal is dead now. Price has been jacked back up to $24.99.

Adam: it will be the $7.99. I fixed the typo in the OP. Thanks.

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

Thanks for the fix (and everything) Mike! Hot Tub Time Machine is also very tempting at that price, but I think I'm going to wait until it hits $14.99 or under.

I actually caught their website in the midst of their fixing the error/deal this morning. The search results page for the title was still showing the $6.99 price, but if I tried to add it to my cart or look at the individual item's page, it was reflecting the regular price of $24.99. So, printed off the search results page with the $6.99 price and price-matched at Wal-Mart with no hassles. Had actually stopped at a Fry's and a Best Buy yesterday to pick it up, but both places were sold out of almost all their copies with the exception of a few 2-disc DVD editions left at the Best Buy, so it worked out nicely with this morning's deal.

 

[Jason_V]

Going back to last week's conversation, the BSG complete series set (BD) is apparently on sale big at Amazon through Friday. I can get it shipped back to Michigan and pick it up in a few weeks when I'm there for a wedding. And I miss the sales tax.
