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! If there is a title not included in the [COLOR= rgb(255, 0, 0)]RoundUp[/COLOR] 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 [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).

[RickER]

Star Trek on Blu-ray for me, and Best Buy comes thru with a good price. Good for a TV show on Blu-ray, anyway....YES!

Thanks as always guys. Much appreciated.

 

[Jason_V]

I had TOS S2 BD on pre-order from Amazon...but i'm canceling. BB's price is much better. But the TNG movie set is still coming from Amazon.

Mike, I haven't looked into it, but I'm fairly certain the Star Trek Original Motion Picture Collection (DVD) also includes The Undiscovered Country. There wouldn't be a reason for it not to.

On another note: FYE's changed their used BD promotion. Now, it's Buy 2 Get 50% off the 3rd for both BD and DVD. They also have select BD's on sale for $12.99 (a couple Die Hard's, Devil Wears Prada,Spaceballs, Pathfinder...).

Additionally, BB's been putting a bunch of BD's on sale very quickly after they get released. They're all catalogue titles, but $13 for Freddy vs. Jason, for example, works for me.

 

[pitchman]

Thanks Mike and Patrick! For the first time in months I am buying a Blu-ray from Best Buy - - [COLOR= rgb(24, 24, 24)]Star Trek - The Original Series: Season 2.

Note to BB: If you price it, they will buy... [/COLOR]

 

[TravisR]

I'm picking up Friday The 13th: The Series: Season Three this week. I'll grab 30 Rock: Season Three when Target puts it on sale for $20 in the next two or three months.

Also, if anyone out there is an angry, semi-delusional loner that wants to see more people like themselves represented onscreen, Observe And Report is the movie is for you.

Thanks for the prices, guys!

 

[Neil Middlemiss]

The Wal Mart near me had Freddy Vs. Jason for $10.00 - really tempting.

Jason: You are, of course, correct. I have added the title above.

Isn't it a weird assortment of single Star Trek titles that are released this week?

WalMart isn't as convenient as BB for me. But yeah, $10 is even better.

Not in my, geek-centered mind. II, IV, VI, VIII are considered the most popular and "best" of the series so it makes sense to start with them on standalone BD.

 

[Dave Scarpa]

Just Star Trek S2 Blu Ray for Me, good price.

I saw Observe and Report , worst movie I've seen this Year, Just Terrible. And I like Seth Rogen, what was he thinking..never mind Ray Liotta.

I liked parts of it but it's a tough movie to love. That being said, I think that this movie will gain a small but devoted cult following in the coming years.

 

[EricSchulz]

Well, nothing for me this week, but I do have a bit of news for those of you nowhere near a Target Store. They recently dropped their deal with Amazon to offer their own Music/Movie/Book shipping service. Now the sale prices in the circular are available to order from Target.com however, I am not sure if the Target exclusive content is always available. There is a flat $2.99 per order fee. And titles that are not in the ad are also available (i.e., the individual Star Trek movies are $13.79 each.)

 

[Gregg Loewen]

Star Trek Season 2 in BD is now down to $59.95 on Amazon!!

guys that use amazon...keep on keeping the faith! (have to love their pre release price guarantee!! )

Thanks for the tip, Gregg. I just placed my order.

 

[Mark Zimmer]

Anyone know if the Exodus in the Paul Newman Tribute Collection is remastered, or is it the same old nonanamorphic disc?

 

[Will_B]

I want Trek First Contact and Terminator Season 2 (both on BluRay) but I think I'll wait for DeepDiscount to do it's Thanksgiving thing.

 

[Mike Frezon]

It is being reported that amazon.com has a code [SIZE= larger]SNOWHITE[/SIZE] (with just one "w") that will take $10 off the upcoming Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Blu-ray release (probably to "match" the $10 coupon that's floating around. That drops the amazon price to $14.99.

Apparently there are also bundle deals if you buy Snow White and either (or both) of the recent Tinkerbell releases. SW + TB: Lost Treasure = $8 off.

Info via SlickDeals.
