The Specials SPECIAL ROUNDUP NOTICE! In an effort to improve the RoundUp, I have added yet another retailer to the list this week: Sears.com This is the beginning of a trial run for Sears in the RoundUp. Obviously, the addition is extra work for me to compile the prices. And, I am not yet sure how the Sears on-line prices will translate in-store. I read an article recently about how Sears was expanding its on-line catalog and thought I would give it a try. I’ve got to tell you that, at first blush, the Sears prices look pretty darn competitive. I will also try to get to my local Sears store and see what the in-store displays/inventory looks like. If you have ANY feedback on this addition—or, if you have been known to frequent your local Sears store for DVDs—please share your observations here!  One other random observation: Circuit City’s DVD prices seem to be improving each week. Thoughts? **Woohoo! Yet another week where there are NO new titles released in a modified aspect ratio! --All retailers list the HD-DVD of P.S. I Love You for this week…except amazon which has it listed for May 27. The majority won and I included it in the grid. --Start preparing for an onslaught of promotion for the release of the Sex and the City theatrical movie. It starts in the RoundUp, this week, with this Best Buy promotion. Purchase ANY season set of Sex and the City, or the SD-DVD of The Notebook, and get FREE MOVIE MONEY for Sex and the City theatrical movie. Movie money = $10.50. Valid 5-30-08 thru 6-29-08. Movie in theaters 5-30-08. Minimum 2 of each title per store. --Best Buy has a Buy One, Get One Free sale on a limited selection of $9.99 titles. Titles are available on-line at bestbuy.com. --Best Buy Odds and Ends: Best Buy has advertised Rome: Seasons 1 & 2 and Deadwood: Seasons 1, 2 & 3 at $54.99 apiece. --If anyone is wondering why I am ignoring this new advertising ploy of Circuit City’s to have a “Circuit City Premiere Price”…it is because it is stupid. They are advertising it as a “LOW PRICE” that is in effect “five days only” from Tuesday thru Saturday. Well, “d’uh”, that’s what every retailer does when they issue a “release week” price. The price doesn’t take effect until the title is released on Tuesday and the bargain price ends on Saturday when all flyer prices end. Dumb. --Circuit City Odds and Ends: Lists of DVDs for $4.99, $5.99 and $8.99. --Target is advertising an EXCLUSIVE DVD RELEASE of Speed Racer’s Wonderful World of Racing ($9.99) that includes MOVIE CASH to see the Speed Racer movie in theaters. Quantities limited. No rainchecks. This is separate from this week’s release of Speed Racer – Next Generation: New Beginnings. --Target Odds and Ends: Target has DVDs on sale for $6.49 and $9.99.
