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.

--Sears, this week, is advertising 15% off ALL DVDs in stock….with no limit! Pretty good deal! :tu:

--As I post the RoundUp this week, I was not able to obtain either a BestBuy or Circuit City flyer, so much of my information in the “Specials” section has been obtained from a wide variety of internet sources.

Thanks Freezer. Looks like trips to both Best Buy and Circuit City are in order this week. Things are picking up finally - several good titles to pick up. Action, The Weather Man, Rent, Domino and North Country. I'm going to wait on All the President’s Men till the Controversial Classics Vol. 2 box set comes out next week since I want to get the new Network disc as well.

[Son of Nothing]

Looks like an off week for me. Next week will probably be killer.
