Is Smallville $35 at Best Buy or $25? Thanks

[Trevor]

Is Smallville $35 at Best Buy or $25? Thanks
You're right, thanks! Fixed.

Be advised that every other Smallville season has been $5 to $15 within months of release, even on blu-ray.

Also, conflicting reports on which retailers have the metallic case for this season.

Any price comparisons on WWE: Rise and Fall of WCW?

Any price comparisons on WWE: Rise and Fall of WCW?

Sorry, I don't have time to do every new release, so try to stick to the most popular big name releases. I already spend at least an hour a day on average maintaining my various threads and researching the data, can't really do more.

But you, or anyone else, are more than welcome to add titles/tables yourself. I'll send anyone the template I use if interested.

Why question marks for Target on Adventureland?

It was a test. You passed.

Actually, I was using an actual ad, and those prices were not in my printed ad (which is already in the recycle bin, but I swear it wasn't there).

DD has beat Amazons price on House S5 by 10 cents, so 26.89. Bing cashback for DD is at 8% right now, which would be $2.16 back for a end price of 24.73.

Have not had a chance to get to FYE so does anyone have any prices w/MIR on any new releases?

EDIT: Only decent deal was for "Fighting". $14.99 after MIR. Disappointing FYE!
