Current comparison thread (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/dvd-bargains/560284-new-release-price-comparisons-week-8-23-09-8-29-09-a.html)done. Looks like Best Buy is cheapest this week on Adventureland SD, Fighting SD and BD, Smallville Season 8 SD and BD, and Duplicity SD.

Thanks!

Didn't even know Grace (Blu-Ray) had an early exclusive release at BB. Might have to pick it up.

Does it list the release as Sunday or Tuesday?

Just picked up Beetlejuice BD for $9.99 and The Jerk for $4.99. Lots of good comedy DVDs for $4.99 this week.

Just know that the set has 3 disc, not one. The Best Buy exclusive is just the WCW DVD packaged with the Rise and Fall of ECW.

Mad Men season 1 DVD is 15.99 through the 29th. Is it a good blind buy?

Thanks for the ad, but it does not look like a promising week for dvd's for me, I may pick up lie to me if I am feeling frisky

Mad Men season 1 DVD is 15.99 through the 29th. Is it a good blind buy?

If you like period dramas with good acting, stories, set designs, costumes etc, yes. 16 bucks for 13 episodes of quality cable TV is a bargain.

Gonna pick up One Tree Hill and Smallville and get the $5 GC.

I'm debating on getting the Batman game with the free DVD and $10 GC. That seems like a really good deal.

My local newspaper didn't have the BB ad in it, and I was planning on price matching The Rise and Fall of WCW at Wal-Mart (it's much closer). Is there any other way to do it?

It was a blind buy for me and I'd recommend it as well. Great show, one of my top four current airing shows, and a possible all time best.

I did in-store pickup for Adventureland, Duplicity and Sunshine Cleaning on BD - all were cheaper I think. Duplicity might have been the same. SC was 24.99, not 29.99 online.

I picked up Rushmore on DVD for 4.99, which was cheaper than I have ever seen it before.

Isn't there a picture of the Blu-ray version at the TVShowsOnDVD link a few posts up?

I ended up getting the DVD version even though I was really considering the Blu version for quite a while.. only because there were a whole bunch of DVD copies with the cover at my store and only TWO Blu-rays (out of seven in stock).

Don't have a digital camera though. Sorry. But I can tell you the Blu-ray has a standard BD case inside and the DVD has a double-thick clear DVD case inside it. The less digipaks in my collection the better IMO. :p

Picked up Smallville season 8 w/ the metal slip cover and One Tree Hill Season 6. Also, came with a $5 GC for buying 2 new TV on DVD releases.

I also picked up Batman Arkham Asylum for the XBox 360 with the free $10 GC. My local BB did not have anymore copies of the Batman cartoon DVD. Not a huge deal.

The Suite Life on Deck: Anchors Away - SD: $12.99

Sonny with a Chance: Sonny's Big Break - SD: $12.99

If you are going to buy both of these - theres a $10 off coupon at the Disney Movie Rewards.com website
that you should use. So you are paying $2.99 for one (while paying $12.99 for the other) or $7.99 each
before tax. I think thats the best deal out there.

As for Smallville - I'll just wait and get the regular edition of Season 8 later this year around the Holidays when
such series like Smallville, 24 etc are $14.99-$19.99.

Hi. I had a look at the metal slipcase myself and was thinking about picking it up, but all the ones I picked up sounded like the hubs were broken and rattling around inside.. The regular ones seemed to be solid. Did this store get a bad batch of slipcases?

I thought so too. Mine was really noisy. But, when I opened it, everything was fine. Mine only had outer wrap, so it was shrinkwrapped against the steel case. no constriction on the inner case. The others had cardboard cases that give a little. My guess is it was the pages moving slightly that gave off the rattle.

not sure if this was mentioned, but i picked up:
Scrubs (S8)
Californication (S2)

and got a free $5.00 gift card. couldn't use it on that purchase, but considering i used Reward Zone certificates it was a nice surprise i had no idea about.

Finally got around to picking up the 2-disc version of Back to the Future. It was part of the $6.99 DVDs this week at BB.
