if you check the ads, those dvds are all listed as $4.99. I hit up the anaheim frys just a while ago and they had some bins at the front of the store. They had them listed as $8.99 and up and had them mixed with $8.99 dvds (like midnight cowboy which i was hoping was $4.99)
anyway, all those listed above are $4.99 for the 2 disk versions. I picked up mag7, great escape, bridge too far, fish called wanda, ronin and platoon. Did not see spaceballs or some like it hot from the list.

Picked up Some Like It Hot, Moonstruck, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for 4.99 at the Fry's in San Diego.
You might want to double check some of those 8.99 DVDs at the register. The employees at my Fry's did a lousy job in putting these out. Some were in bins marked 8.99, but the exact same ones were also in a display marked 4.99. And the labels on the shelves were 4.99. Really haphazard. It wouldn't surprise me if this was the case at other stores.

I know that this is asking a lot, but if someone could pick me up The Princess Bride Dreaded Pirate's Edition, I would be most greatful. I'll pay shipping and give you a little extra as well.

Picked up Some Like it Hot for $4.99. A Fish Called Wanda was marked as $8.99 on the shelf, and rang up as such, but I purchased it anyways because its still a pretty good price.
