(CC) after a title = New release in the Criterion Collection.

(MoH) before a title = New release in the Masters of Horror Collection.

Individual titles included in box sets listed above:

None this week.

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.

A nice break after last week almost broke the bank. Just Close Encounters on bluray for me. Though I might pick up Pride and Prejudice on HD-DVD as well.
Geesh, what is this, like, the 10th time they've released Princess Bride and about the 20th dvd if It's A Wonderful Life?
That poster from Mountain of the Cannibal God makes it look like the film might have some cinematic merits. A renter for sure.

I'd like to pick up CE3K, Ocean's 13 and Shrek The Third, but it's certain that the latter two will be selling for $10 within three months.

I'm still confused as to why they offer downloads of the movie after you've already purchased it on dvd...just goes to show the studios are completely clueless...

$243.62 for me. It's all Johnny Carson, Dr. Who and Pixar's fault. Ouch! Remind me never to add my orders up again.

I am supposed to buy Ocean's 13, but money is tight at the moment (cause I bought a spa for our courtyard ) so I don't know if I will be able to.
