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.

Thanks Freezer. Hill Street Blues, Corpse Bride and Dune for me this week. But I might hold of on Corpse Bride for one of the HD formats. Though at that $14.99 Circuit City price it's still tempting to go with the DVD.

Thanx, Freezer. I'll be taking advantage of that awesome X-Files deal at Best Buy, as well as price matching the CC price of The Legend Of Zorro and Corpse Bride.

My first new release of the year this week, Corpse Bride, and it looks like CC wins on that.

Thanks Freezer!

Are you sure that Legend Of Zorro and Corpse Bride are selling for $16.99 at Best Buy? I got the BB flyer in the paper today, and both are listed at $14.99.

Our BB flyer lists Corpse Bride as "hot price" and doesn't really have a price at all for Legend of Zorro beyond the 2 for $25 deal with Mask of Zorro. But if you go to BB's website they give both titles as $16.99, so that's probably what it'll be for most people. If you're ad specifically says $14.99, then I guess you live in a lucky pace that gets it cheaper.

My friend checked Target for the Pink Panther 5 disc and said is was $48.99 there and not $39.99. FYI But that might be the online price.

The Target store print sale ad here specificially says $39.99. Your friend should have gotten a copy of the ad and showed it to them to make them give him the $39.99 price. I just used your zip code to check your local Target ad as well and it does say $39.99.

Shame. Still, you could price match both with a CC flyer.

Actually I just drove across the street to Circuit City and bought Corpse Bride there. People who price match piss me off. They hold up the line for everyone else. I say, if you want that price for those titles, just go to the store that's selling them for that. Don't be lazy and make some other store jump though hoops to give it to you. I wish stores would eliminate the price matching policy all together. Seems like it's always my luck that I get behind someone in line who's decided to make the store price match 20 items.
