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.

Wow, I wasn't expecting the 3 Stooges set to be so inexpensive. I just wish I had enough money to get it this week.

MST3K, Outer Limits Vol 3 and the Spider-man Blu-ray set for me. I might break down and buy Captivity too, though I wish Lionsgate had just released it day and date on blu-ray. It's an awful film (and Ed Wood appears to have been the continuity supervisor), but I can't resist Elisha Cuthbert. Might pick up Talk to Me on HD-DVD as well as a blind buy. But I don't know, there's way too much good stuff coming out in the coming weeks and I should probably give the credit card a bit of a rest.

I'd like to say I'm going to buy The New Twin Peaks Series Boxset; but it's a blind buy since I've never seen it- liked the prequel-movie and have liked many of Lynch's films but I don't know about the series???

I've been waiting on this Twin Peaks set. I got the 1st season when it came out and waited forever on season 2. Then by the time it was coming out there was word about this one coming out. And finally! I'm disappointed in Best Buy's and Circuit City's price. I like getting my sets in store so I can inspect them a little. However if $99 is the actual instore price and not just their website price, I'll be making my first purchase on Amazon. I'll be heading out to Best Buy later today and will report back in. I really want this in my hands today.
