To be honest, it doesn't matter if Sam's is carrying it. Their prices on new releases are horrible compared to the first-week sale prices at Best Buy and Circuit City. I think they wanted $5 more for Simpsons S6 than Best Buy.

I have a tier 1 Sams and a Costco (Costco is roughly the same nationwide with no store tiers) right near me, along with Best Buy. I rarely find myself at Best Buy for boxsets, tv sets, or limited releases. Sams and Costco's daily price will also beat Best Buy once the first week sale is over for any major new movie releases. New movies are more highly discounted during that Tuesday-Sunday window their first week.
In conclusion, if you have Sams or Costco (and possibly Fry's or BJs) then checking there first is a great idea. And nip tuck season 2 would definitely be at Sams or Costco for me.

My sam's club has been very spotty lately with new releases. Over the last couple of weeks, I was hoping to get:
Brady Bunch Season 2
The High And The Mighty
Island In The Sky
The Thin Man Box Set
And the Sams I go to had none of these in stock....

You may have a tier 3 Sams in your area (meaning the highest price points) while a tier 1 Sams is much cheaper. Sams (and Walmart) regional price their products. For instance Disney Treasures at a tier 1 Sams would be $19.99 while at a tier 3 Sams they were $23.54. Quite a difference (over 17% more).

thanks everyone ... the reason I asked is because I saw Rescue Me there for like $31.99 (cheaper than most places). But I did not see any The Shield seasons or Nip/Tuck season 1. and I didn't know if they carried them immediately upon release.
