New release $ comparisons and store exclusives / freebies - 11/30/08 to 12/06/08
Big Release Comparisons
These weekly threads are for price comparisons of all the big new releases, and the posting and discussion of that particular week's store exclusives and freebies.
These lists will likely be incomplete until Wednesday or so, since DVDs are released on Tuesday and one of us needs to visit all the stores to confirm things.
Links to the master list and to the previous and next week's thread are below.
Volunteers needed: I regularly go to Best Buy, Circuit City, Target, and Walmart; but don't visit the other stores every week. If you work at or regularly go to the FYE/TWEC chains, Costco, Borders, K-mart/Sears, Barnes and Noble, Blockbuster, Hot Topic, or any other store that has DVD exclusives; we'd appreciate any updates you could give us.

Best Buy does have the Collector's Edition of the Wanted Blu-Ray for $49.99, and the lithograph offer apply to this set as well.

I personally find it quite useful, answers multiple questions I have weekly all at once. I don't really give a fuck how it looks. Thanks for the effort, much appreciated.

Are you sure you want to see them?
The above post is obviously a joke, and not meant to bash one of my favorite forum members, super models, straight people, non-straight people, penguins, or html programmers.

Forgive me if i'm repeating myself but you do a great job all around Trevor and the charts are very useful and help out alot.
Great Job all around, Trevor.
Also, Best buy is giving away a Ricky Bobby Bobblehead with a Purchase of Talladega Nights
And I Think I remember hearing FYE is going to have a Steelbook for the X-Files release. I'll be swinging by tomorrow to confirm it.

Updates made, thanks everyone.
Actually, all the creation and formatting work is over (unless I change it again). I now have a blank template, and just need to fill in the boxes each week. It takes maybe an hour a week to research all the web sites and fill in the blanks. Then of course I tweak it as new information comes in from you all.
