Thanks for the round up! I already pre-ordered Batman Begins and Twilight Zone S4 from Amazon since they had the cheapest price on both. Looks like I'll be picking up Land of the Dead and the Batman Anthology from Target. Yeah, I know the last two films in the set suck, but since it's only a few dollars more than buying the first two alone I might as well pick it up. I'm still on the fence about the new Big Lebowski disc. DVD Beaver says the new one is a slight improvement over the old one, which I have. But at this point I almost might as well just wait for one of the optical HD formats, especially since there are really no new extras in this dvd.

Any reason why BB has no price on the Batman Anthology? Everything I want is the best price at BB, but I also need the Anthology.

I'm still wondering if Costco will have any good deals on everything Batman-related.

Well, Batman Begins left Amazon yesterday as did Ferngully from BestBuy.com (with a $5 digital coupon it only cost a total of $12.28). Went to CC for the rest & bought Batman SE, Batman Returns SE & Mask of Zorro DE from them. I wanted to get Tarzan SE but they got ONE fucking copy of Tarzan & ENG & even though I was the first one in the door it was not on the shelf (guarantee a worker got it before they even opened). I was going to pm BB & use the $3 coupon but no dice. I ended up going next door to Target where they had a whole end display of Tarzan & got it there for $19.99 minus the coupon which they took even though it says 2 disc SE on it. At least I did get the litho from CC. I asked the cashier if I could have one since I was getting two other Batmans & he was happy to let me have it.
Busy damn morning. Now, I got some dvds to watch.

Just wanted to post that Target is selling the Batman Begins 2-disc set for $19.99, which looks like the cheapest price among the brick-and-mortar stores, but not as good as Amazon's price.

The Best Buy cover, is holographic, with the figure of Batman appearing and dissapearing against the backdrop of bats. Best Buy had no copies of the Anthology, which was ok as I was going to but it at Target. Also, went to Target, no Batman Anthology. Went to Circuit City, no Anthology. The guy in the DVD section at CC told me I could go to the check out, and buy a copy of it(as it is apparently coming tomorrow definitly), and bring the recipt tomorrow to get my copy. So, naturally I go the checkout, and she looks at me like I'm cross eyed, then she tells me to go to customer service, where they had the exact same response. So she took down my name and number, and said they would call when some came in(2 copies were due tomorrow
 ).So tomorrow, I'll be calling around any place I can think of that carries DVDs, I don't care if I have to pay $70 for the damn thing now. Add to the fact I had a lousy day at work, truely 'one of those days'.

The Walmart near me had the Batman Begin 2 Disc Deluxe edition listed at $17.99 in the media section of the store. The large stand display they had in the front of the store had no information about it at all.
Unfortunately they had no copies at all.  Anyway it's to Best Buy on the way home tonight to get that and Due South Season 3 with some McDonald BBBucks. |

Finally got the Batman set. I called all over the area, and finally a Sam Goody across town had one, and they held it for me. I called Fry's Electronics, and the guy actually said he saw one as a customer picked it up to purchase! Every place I called told me they only got 2 or 3 copies on Tuesday morning and were sold out within an hour, no one anticipated any demand.
It was worth the hunt though, it's a beautiful set, the first Batman looks amazing!
