The Disclaimer
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 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".

Sorry for a late RoundUp, gang! Away for some Labor Day fun.

I think I'll be checking out Wal-Mart for The Sting and To Kill A Mockingbird...and heading to BB for Lost (Bonus disc + RewardZone pricing!).

Finally, some decent DVDs in a year of medocre or worse (i.e. suck-*ss) releases for the most part. I was about to write off the entire year for hope of good DVD releases.

To Kill A Mockingbird, Deer Hunter, and The Sting for me.

Expensive week! Picked up To Kill A Mockingbird, Deer Hunter, Lost and Crash from BB this morning (yeah, I know CC had Crash cheaper, but I was too lazy to drive there for one DVD). I didn't see it mentioned that BB has a exclusive bonus disc with Crash as well. Picked up Best of Belushi at Target today. I wish the Radner disc was on sale as well. Also have the two Doctor Who's and Cutting Edge on the way from Amazon. I've got a lot of dvd watching ahead of me!
