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. 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, PLEASE 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, Circuit City is still out of business...even in Hawaii (where they NEVER guaranteed their prices anyway).

[GaLvAtRoN187]

i dont know I might purchase Entourage: Season 5 as well as the previous 2 volumes im missing.

[dugpa]

Thanks for the tip on the SNL season sets. I've been wanting them for some time, but $45 was a bit much. The Target near me only had 1 and 4 though, but at least that's half way there.

[Reaver]

Entourage and Eureka will do it for me.

I'm hoping "Street Fighter" gives me a few laughs after a couple of beers, but that'll be a rental when I can get a few people over.

Other than that, I think it's just "Stargate".
