Lions for Lambs, Lars & the Real Girl -- 7.99 at borders/19.99 Adult Swim (+more)
A strange random pair on sale, not sure why, but there they are.
Of other note--we got in tons of WB 2 discs (Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Singin in the Rain, Green Mile, Color Purple, Right Stuff, Strangers on a Train...) and as of yet no reason for them. I'm not naming them in the thread title because I don't know for sure, but it LOOKS like they may end up 7.99 believe it or not. I'm still waiting to know for sure, but can't figure out what else we have them for. Maybe just to taunt me with the promise of cheap singin in the rain

TV on DVD 19.99 sale. Weird selection, but hey. Not ALL adult swim, but a good bit of it. (ATHF 1-4, Venture ssn2, both Robot Chicken, Harvey Birdman 3, Squidbillies 1...)
PS: LfL & L&tRG are not available from the website...they're even marked pre-order thanks to the funky kinks wandering around...

If Borders.com has their crap together (ha!), they'll adjust the price for anybody who orders between now and when the price is dropped, which I assume will happen before 9/23.
I'm confused by your confusion.

Item listed on site.
Item available.
Item listed at CURRENT price.
So, then, why not send it out at the current price--or update the price now, and THEN mark it a pre-order and not send it yet?
Anyway.
PS: appears my hopeful suspicions of 7.99 have been smeared; 11.99 looks to be the more likely pricing culprit for the WB 2 discs.

In store only? Darn, all I have near me are Waldenbooks and they have NO DVDs. I even got a Borders 25% off birthday coupon emailed to me today, but nowhere to spend it.

LOL, I just did a store location search using the next widest parameter they had (100 mile radius) and it came up with exactly three Borders stores (Knoxville, TN and Charlotte, NC). Not worth moving, though.
