It was seven years ago this week that the last DVD version of the OT was released. From the 9-21-04 Weekly RoundUp:





And check it out...the laptops and desktops are rockin' with 256MB of RAM! Woohoo!

Nice find Mike. Forget the Star wars Trilogy. I want the 200GB HD for $79. :-P

I have been trying to see if Costco has the Star Wars set. I found one item on another site that said Costco has the Complete Saga for $88.99. Plus another post there that said Costco will have an instant coupon to bring it down to $79.79. Just thought I'd mention it, not much mention here of Costco. I'll see if its there after work.

I was just in Costco, where I saw one display for the complete saga only, in a different part of the store from the pitifully few DVDs and BLUs they now carry. Posted price was $89 or $90 with no mention of a coupon -- but since I'm not in the market for this release at all, I could have missed seeing that. It would be pretty sad if they weren't at least meeting Amazon's price for the first few days or whatever.

Picked up the 9-disc Star Wars Saga at Best Buy for $79.99, matching both Target and Amazon.

 

[Nelson Au]

Star Wars The Complete Saga was at my Costco and priced at $89.99 and you get an instant $10 off. So they matched everyone else's $79.99 price.

Didn't need my nephew to pick up SW at Target. When BB pricematched them I preordered it with the free t shirt online w/ instore pickup (t shirt being mailed). When I got back from Tampa I got it & got them to give me the senitype too (since I preordered it Wednesday). Got 2 promos with 1 purchase (they couldn't figure out how to do it so the just stuck it in the bag & said to enjoy it). Oh, and so many thanks for the prayers & well wishes. Catscan showed a little more tumor shrinkage & absolutely no growth back at all. He said some had shrunk as much as they possibly could. The alimta seems to be doing its maintenance & small shrinking function. All in all a wonderful day.

Did anyone get the Citizen Kane / Magnificent Ambersons set for 49.99 at Amazon? I noticed the price went up to 54.99

Dennis: People are talking some about the Ambersons disc[url=http://www.hometheaterforum.com/t/314260/a-few-words-about-citizen-kane-in-blu-ray/120] in this thread.


And DVD Beaver has posted these caps.

For those who are somehow unaware, I have posted Matt's review of the Complete Star Wars saga on blu in the OP.

Great. I'll have to read it. I've watched IV & V & love 'em. Just getting ready to watch VI.

 

[Mark-P]

Does anyone know if the exclusive digibook Citizen Kane blu-ray at Best Buy contains the Ambersons disc? I highly doubt it but if it did that would be the way to go.

 

[Steve Tannehill]

Ambersons is an Amazon exclusive.

 

[Mark-P]

Ambersons is an Amazon exclusive.

Oops. I thought it was in all the CK box sets.

 

[Mike Frezon]

The Ambersons disc is quite a draw. And releasing it as an exclusive...with another major title (of a different format) is really odd and rather frustrating.


I'm hoping that it is released on it's own really soon.

So what size were the BB t-shirts? They were unable to tell me, so I just went with my Amazon order.

 

[ScottJH]

So what size were the BB t-shirts?

They are XL.

Figures, it was only written on the package.

Packages I saw in the store near me yesterday were marked Large.
