(CC) after a title = a new Criterion Collection release.

Individual Titles included in Collections listed above:

Matt Helm Lounge Box Set: Silencers, Wrecking Crew, Ambushers, Murderer’s Row.

Pam Grier Collection (Fox in a Box): Coffy, Foxy Brown, Sheba Baby.

The Disclaimer
Standard disclaimer: All prices are taken from the websites of each chain, or from their printed Sunday advertisements. All prices are subject to change by each chain. Prices and inventory in-store may or may not match the website price.

"LP" in the RoundUp table means a store’s Sunday flyer says "Low Price". That means 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, obviously, cannot include EVERY title released in a given week in the RoundUp. 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 RoundUp that you want to see, 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 RoundUp. 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, as always, Circuit City does not guarantee their sale prices in Hawaii.

Ok, so does the BEST BUY FANTASTIC FOUR LE BOX SET have all the cool stuff mentioned in the software thread? The 152 minute cut of the movie and all that jazz? I can't seem to find any solid info. I'm willing to get the box set if it has all the stuff mentioned in the SOFTWARD thread. Also, picking up RAYMOND: SEASON 5, DUKES OF HAZZARD UR, BLAKE EDWARDS: A FINE MESS, CLONE WARS VOL. 2, 24: SEASON 4 (Niiiiiceee, can't wait!), and one of the two CINDERELLA MAN DVD's if someone tells me the difference b/w the bare bones and the $30+ version. Anyone know? I heard the movie was completely amazing. So if anyone has any solid info on the BB FF BOX SET & CINDERELLA MAN CE, it would be much appreciated! Thanks as always FREEZER, you da man !

Thanks, Freezer. That is a huge roundup. I'll be getting Cinderella Man (1 loaded 2 sided disc) at Target with some other shopping as they have from 8-10am Tuesday an additional 10% off for seniors/disabled. I wish they had Chronological Donald 2 which I'll be ordering from DDD unless Sam's gets it in & has a decent price.

Gracias Freezer. Expensive week for me: John Lennon Imagine, Clone Wars Vol 2, Batman Animated Series Vol 4, 24 Season 4, MASH Season 9 and Law & Order Season 4. Looks like trips to both Best Buy and Circuit City are in order this week to get the best prices. Thankfully they're both across the street from each other.

I have yet to see any ad or mention anywhere of a 152 minute cut in the Best Buy set. That info originally came from someone on another forum and has been spread around. I guess we won't know for sure until someone buys the thing, but I think it's highly doubtful there's a longer cut on the Best Buy set. Now, this being a Fox title, no doubt six months from now they'll release a Director's Cut version that will be longer.

I hit Target at 8am because of the 10% discount for seniors/disabled. First thing they do is give you an envelope with coupons for different things & a gift card for $5. I'm happy. Then I hit the dvd dept. All the new releases are out. The 2 I was looking for (Chron. Donald 2 & Cinderella Man WS) had tags but no mdse. They said that a truck would be bringing them in tonight. I got them to put a Donald away for me & bought CM at Wal Mart ($15/87). But, I went by the front again & a different lady handed me another envelope. Another $5 GC. Since Donald was regularly priced no raincheck but they gave me one for CM which is good for 21% off any regularly priced dvd. So tomorrow I go to Target get Donald w/rain check (about $19.50), use the 2 GCs & it'll cost about $9.50 + tax. They had the Rarities in stock but no tag even for the other 2 Treasures. Wal Mart also hadn't gotten their Treasures in & I only saw spots for Donald & Rarities. They had basically the same price too of $24.87. Frustrating day but in the long run I'll save money.
