Weekly Roundup 12/9
BUG OUT!!!!!!!!!!! (quote from M*A*S*H - Season 5)
 Standard disclaimer: All prices are taken from the websites of each chain, or from their printed advertisements, the Sunday of the week of release (so as to catch any week-of-release sale prices). All prices are subject to change by each chain. Prices and inventory in-store may or may not match the website price. If a price is marked "$_N/A_" in the grid, it means that this title is not shown as available on that chain's website or perhaps in their ads...but it COULD still be in-stores! $_"LP" means the advertisement says "Low Price", and $_"HP" means the advertisement says "Hot Price". Use of either of these in the Roundup grid indicates that I could not locate a definate price for the item, and the ad is all I have to go on. Retailers use these phrases in advertisements so that they do not violate MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) agreements with the studios. Doing so can cost them thousands or even millions of dollars in co-op advertising funds. I only include the titles I feel like including. In fact, the titles are pretty much the ones I'm personally interested in, with few exceptions. I don't get paid for this, and I don't have time to devote to doing every DVD. I have a lovely wife and a five-year-old son I'd rather spend time with. Please don't complain. If there is a title not included in the Roundup that you want to see, just look it up yourself, and be nice enough to post and share the results with everyone...like I do! Note that Circuit City does not guarantee their sale prices in Hawaii. Also note that I cannot include Wal-Mart prices in the standard Roundup: Wal-Mart sets prices at individual stores based on nearby competition, so there is not a way I can say here what price you'll find at YOUR local Wal-Mart location. When it comes to Wal-Mart prices mentioned at all, just remember that "Your Milage May Vary". __________TITLE__________ _ _Amazon _ BestBuy _ CrcCity _ Target_ _ Costco_ _ SamsClb Bad Boys II______________ _ $20.27 __ $15.99 __ $15.99 __ $_"LP" __ $17.89 __ $_N/A_ Best/Muppet Show Vol. 6__ _ $16.96 __ $14.99 __ $17.99 __ $_N/A_ __ $_N/A_ __ $_N/A_ Buffy/Vampire Slayer - S5 _ $38.99 __ $45.99 __ $45.99 __ $45.99 __ $39.99 __ $_N/A_ Dirty Dancing - Ult.

Example: Jury Duty. This does NOT apply to markdowns, which are simply cut-and-paste from other lists. * Yep, that really is the new Horatio Hornblower pair of shows that just aired on the A&E cable network this past week. It's already on DVD. Awesome, eh? Of course, it aired in the U.K. last January! Oh, and by the way: the best B&M price on the Roundup for this is Circuit City's $29.99. But BestBuy.com has a 20%-off sale on A&E items through Dec. 13th. I recommend you purchase the set on-line, and perhaps mark it for in-store pickup. The price works out to be $24.79 instead!  * Best Buy: 2-for-$25 when you buy Bad Boys II and Bad Boys - Special Editon on the same receipt. * Best Buy: Free Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie ($9.99 value) instantly, with purchase of Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Season 5. * Best Buy: Save on multiples of M*A*S*H when purchased on the same receipt: Buy 2, save $10...buy 3, save $15...buy 4, save $25...buy all 5 seasons, save $40. * Best Buy: Save $5 when you purchase the Dirty Dancing - Ultimate Edition DVD and soundtrack. Must be purchased on the same receipt. * Circuit City: save $5 instantly with combined purchaseDirty Dancing - Ultimate Edition DVD & CD soundtrack. * Circuit City: save $10 instantly with combined purchase Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Season 5 & any one of Seasons 1-4. * Circuit City's ad shows Dawson's Creek - Season 2 a week early. The street date is 12/16. History teaches us that this item probably won't be in stores this week, despite the ad. If you can find one at CC, though, they claim a $34.99 sale price...which isn't bad at all. The latest markdowns according to DavisDVD: ------------------------- EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 9, 2003 Blackjack, Bounty Hunters, White Squall Buena Vista 9.99 Iris Blond, The Kid, Mystery Alaska, The Neverending Story III, Unhook the Stars, Walking and Talking Buena Vista 14.99 High Heels And Low Lifes Buena Vista 19.99 |

Thanks Unicorn. Finally a slow week for me. Only purchase is Dirty Dancing UE which I preordered from DDD for $9.59 (great price for a preorder which the 20% coupon didn't apply too. Over 50% off). Lots on my buy list from next weeks roundup.

I picked up both new discs for Power Rangers Ninja Storm at Wal-Mart, who was price-competing at $14.24 each. Lizzie McGuire was also $14.24 each, on sale. The 2 Recess releases were $14.74 each, everyday price. There's a big display of all 6 Disney KidVid TV releases.
Oh, Firefly was there for $34.18, and MASH for $28.48...but I didn't want my wife to break my arm.  I also grabbed several things out of the new "bargain bin - priced as marked" (which I assume will eventually replace the $5.88 bin...but hasn't yet). For $7.50 each I nabbed X-Men Evolution #'s 1 & 3 for me/my son, Oh God! as a gift, and the Powerpuff Girls movie. |

Walmart $7.50 Bin
Quote:
At this time the $7.50 bin is a promo (Like the Christmas movies). They are leaving the stores at the end of December, unless they decide to keep it. I will ask the person at Walmart and see if that is the case and get back with you. Good to hear about the great deals. Keep up the great work on the Weekly Roundup love the info  Tharapper |

This week, there is a 10% off coupon off any Action DVD and a coupon for 10% off any Family DVD. I plan to use my 10% off any Action DVD coupon for Bad Boys II, which would bring the price from $15.99 to $14.39. Save ya a buck and change right there.

By the way, I checked at Circuit City for the "early" Dawson's Creek - S2. They had a sign posted by their doors proclaiming that the item had a manufacturer-enforced hold placed on the item, and wouldn't be available until next week (the 16th).
Playing dumb and asking the manager "where is this item in your sales flyer?" resulting in him telling me that they were pulled and stored in the back until next week because of the studio, and when I asked if the same sale price would be on it next week he replied "yes, I'm sure it would be". We'll see! |

Escape From New York was in my local Best Buy this morning for 21.99. If you happen to be wanting this dvd, which is pretty cool, you may want to keep your eyes open for it.
Just a heads up, I guess.
