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 definite 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 (or the ones Unicorn tells me he's looking for ;o)). 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. So, 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 we do! Note that Circuit City does not guarantee their sale prices in Hawaii. Also note that I cannot include Wal-Mart/Sam’s Club prices in the standard Roundup: they set 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/Sam’s Club location. When it comes to Wal-Mart/Sam’s Club prices mentioned at all, just remember that "Your Mileage May Vary". **BE CAREFUL! Scooby-Doo2: Monsters Unleashed is available in both OAR and MAR versions...get the correct one. THX-1138 is available in two different versions...get the one that’s right for you.  --Amazon is still featuring free shipping on orders over $25. Restrictions apply. --Best Buy is offering an exclusive “Making of…” DVD with the purchase of Man On Fire. Bonus on-pack DVD includes the 15-minute “Making Of” Man On Fire featurette. Maximum 50 per store. No rainchecks. --Best Buy is also advertising that specially-marked packs of certain NBC series on DVD will be carrying a special DVD including previews of this fall’s NBC lineup. The disc will be featured on select series sets of Smallville, Without a Trace, Everwood, West Wing and Friends. The previews on the DVD will include: West Wing, The O.C., ER, Smallville, Gilmore Girls, Without a Trace, Joey, Center of the Universe, Jonny Zero and dr. vegas. --Best Buy is also offering a $5 savings on the purchase of Home On the Range ($17.99) and any other Disney DVD. --And, if you haven’t yet purchased Scooby-Doo 1 ($14.99) and you want to be a completionist in regard to your Scooby-Doo collection when you purchase Scooby-Doo 2 ($17.99) at Best Buy this week, you can get both DVDs in a 2/$25 sale. $15 + $18 = $33. $33 - $25 = $8 savings! (From what I understand, you will never appreciate the plot intricacies of Volume 2 without first having seen the film that “started it all”. j/k BTW. ) --If you are a Scooby-Doo aficionado, you probably already own Scooby-Doo 1. Well HERE is the deal for you. Circuit City is the only place I’ve seen advertising a Scooby-Doo 2 “gift set”. This includes the DVD, the CD soundtrack, and a plush toy—all for the low, low price of $34.99. --However, if, lets say, you love both Scooby-Doo AND breakfast toaster pastries, maybe THIS is the deal for you. Assuming you own Scooby-Doo 1 already but crave a breakfast sweet, at Target, you can buy Scooby-Doo 2 ($16.99) and get a free box (8 count) of Kellogg’s Pop Tarts.  This image only represents the strong marketing symbiosis of a large animated dog and breakfast treat. This (12 count box) is NOT the product being offered by Target in the promotion.------------------------- The latest markdowns according to DavisDVD: EFFECTIVE: September 14, 2004 (Studio/Titles/New SRP) 20th Century Fox Courage Under Fire, The Siege ... $14.98 Buena Vista 10 Things I Hate About You, About Adam, American Gun, Avalon, Beowulf, Buffalo Soldiers, Chump Change, The Cider House Rules, Comic Book: The Movie, Con Air, Crimson Tide, Dead Man, Gerry, Halloween: Resurrection, Hellraiser: Hellseeker, The Heroic Trio, Hope Springs, Jet Lag, Love In The Time Of Money, Motorcycle Gang, The Prophecy, The Prophecy II, The Prophecy 3, Scorcher, Scream 2, Scream 3, Serendipity, Shiner ... $14.99 Ararat, Blue Car, Bringing Down The House, Cinema Paradiso (New Version), Dirty Pretty Things, Dracula II, Duplex, The Lizzie Maguire Movie, The Magdalene Sisters, Mimic 3, My Boss's Daughter, My Boss's Daughter ("R" Rated), Naqoyqatsi, The Osbournes 2 1/2, The Osbournes: The 2nd Season, The Quiet American, The Royal Tenenbaums, The Santa Clause: SE, The Santa Clause 2, Scary Movie 3, Shanghai Knights, The Son's Room, Spy Kids 3D, Time Out ... $19.99 Warner Brothers (HBO, New Line) Jerry Seinfeld: I'm Telling You For The Last Time, Lightning Jack ... $9.98 Undefeated ... $19.98 |

The prices are pretty even this week, but I think I'll still hit Circuit City rather than Best Buy.
As always, thanks for the round up. Can't wait to see the various SW OT DVD box set prices next week. -Flash
