Thanks as always Freezer. Doctor Who: The Beginning, Northern Exposure S4 and Quantum Leap S4, all from Best Buy. I might pick up Memoirs of a Geisha too, it'll depend on how impusive I am when I'm in the store. I hated the end of that film though, so that may ruin my desire to purchase it.

it might be worth noting that Tower.com has the King Kong (2005) 2 disc set for $16.99.
I know they have a few decent $4.99 titles to add to get free shipping (I used Empire of the sun). just do a search of bestsellers and go by price. I know Bonnie and Clyde is another one they have for cheap.

Well I guess I got my answer about King Kong (1933) at target for 9.44, it's a 1 disc version. The funny thing is, that in the circuit city and best buy ads, they feature the 2 disc version. I might travel down to wal-mart; it's closer, and price match it.

Haven't been paying much attention lately...but is Peter Jackson going to do a extended edition of King Kong later this year, like he did with LOTR?
