Individual titles included in box sets listed above:

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 Pianist on HD-DVD for sure this week. I saw it on UniversalHD a while back and it looked great for cable. I'm sure the HD-DVD will be even better. I'll probably spring for Man on Fire on blu-ray one of these days, but I'll wait for another BOGO sale so I don't have to pay Fox' outragious price.

Thanks for the roundup. Nothing for me this weak release week.

I just updated the price on the Zodiac SE @ BB. I must have written down the wrong price.

Toys R Us has a BOGO on several Blu-ray titles:

Bridge to Terabithia
Cars
Casino Royale
High School Musical 2
Meet the Robinsons
Open Season
Pirates of the Caribbean: 1, 2 and 3
Ratatouille


I think I'll pick up Cars(since my son lost his FULLFRAME copy on dvd that my wife picked up for him, and I hear it looks amazing on Blu-ray) and POTC 2 since I have the other two. No word in the ad on what the price is, I don't expect it to be more than $29.99 and at that price it's $15 a piece. I'm going to try to use that Disney blu-ray coupon on both. Probably won't take it but it won't hurt to try.

I went to Toys R Us and used two coupons with their sale with absolutely no problem at all. I picked up Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and Cars. With tax and all it came to $17.30! Cheaper than dvd.
