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.


The Specials

**BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL! I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry is available in both OAR and MAR versions...get the correct one!

Not sure what’s going on with three titles this week. Some retailers are carrying prices for Gilligan’s Island: Complete Series, Kung Fu: Complete Series & Wonder Woman: Complete Series…but prices are so scattered and inconsistent I have decided to leave them off the pricing table. My guess is that they have been pushed back. If anyone knows for certain, report in!

Life officially gets expensive as the year end release rush hits. Ratatouille, Cars, Pixar Shorts and The Aviator on blu-ray. Heeere’s Johnny Collection, Help and Doctor Who Third Season, Time Flight and Arc of Infinity on SD. I'm tempted by Chinatown, but I'll hold out for a HD release. Amazon still seems to be the place for everything. Anyone want to buy a kidney so I can pay my credit card bill from this week?

My Best Buy flier listed free movie cash to see Enchanted with any purchase of Ratatouille on DVD or high-def. If that's true, it'll be worth picking up this SUCK-ASS release.

It was on some of my "new release" lists for this week...but on none of my retailer's price lists. Sorry.

Thanks for the heads up. Missed that, somehow. Added to the OP.
