Would someone mind picking up a few of these for me? I will cover the costs of the items and shipping and handling. I really want a few of those HD-DVD's.

too much

GenPion,

Which titles were you interested in? I will be at a local Krogers in about in hour.

GenPion

Let us know if you find any and if they have any additional titles you spot as well! Thanks so much!

too much

Nothing at my local store. Might try another store in a day or so.

lee_hero

nothing here either.

I must have Slither and American Werewolf in London.

cinemaphile

Definitely checking for Unscripted and Boomtown!

videoguy

Another store nowhere near me.

I feel like Charlie Brown. I just cannot find a decent HD-DVD deal! Looking for titles for 5.00 or below.

GenPion

Thanks for looking! Let me know if you manage to find anything.

What is the Kroger location?

I was in two Kroger's in the Detroit area last night and passed DVD kiosks, but didn't notice any HD DVDs on either. I wasn't looking very closely, but something like that would've probably caught my attention.

Just a thought...before making a special trip to Kroger's (we hardly ever shop there unless they have a special on something specific), I decided to hit Amazon...found new copies of Unscripted for $3 + $2.98 shipping on AmazonMarketplace from a couple of sellers. That's only .50 more than I would have paid to Kroger (with nearly 10% local tax), plus I saved time & gas.
Also saw Boomtown for around $6...with the $2.98 shipping charge, it would be a little more (around $1.30 in my case... if I didn't already have it), but it might be worth it if you need to save time, gas, or frustration (if your Kroger doesn't have the display).

Matthew Chmiel

Anyone know if Smith's (owned by Kroger) would have these?

Went to two Krogers (Hyde Park and Mason) and didn't see any displays for cheap DVDs. OH well . .

kenbuzz

Where the *f* does one have a 10% local sales tax!?!

I'll check my local Kroger tomorrow. Even here in the People's Republic of Bloomington, they only fleece us for 7%. If they've got any of these titles, I'll post. I'm happy to help out.

[QUOTE=kenbuzz;9168278]Where the *f* does one have a 10% local sales tax!?!

here in the fine city of nashville, tennessee we have 9.25% sales tax... AND we pay tax on food as well!

(we don't have an income tax though!)

bmoore

I looked around in Kroger today myself and no luck. I'm in the Detroit area as well...I can let you know if I see anything DirkBelig.

Bellefontaine, Ohio

creekdipper

[QUOTE=bearkiss;9168744]Yep...I'm also in Tennessee. Our local sales tax is 9.75%. However, as you noted, we don't pay state income tax.

cinemaphile

Three Kroger's in my area - not one of them has anything. Not even empty displays. Nothing but the usual $9.99 rack.

So much for Boomtown and Unscripted

JorgeC

I can confirm that the Ralph's in Ontario has this display. Unfortunately the selection is very limited. The HD-DVDs I saw (Balls of Fury and Chuck and Larry) were both $7.99 each and they had 2 copies of Boomtown S1 and some other random stuff. Nothing different that what was posted above.

Michael Corvin

I found a lot of what the OP posted last night. I did see a few that aren't in the OP's list:

The Breakfast Club - $3.99
Accepted - $4.99
Army of Darkness - $6.99

Louisville, KY
Hustbourne/Taylorsville Rd. - Had a few dozen, excellent selection.
Hikes Lane - Couple dozen total discs, terrible selection
Taylorsville Rd. by the Snyder - zero HD-DVDs
Hubbards Lane - zero HD-DVDs

Thanks OP!

jericho2003hhh

Smiths in Las Vegas, Sunset Street had them all listed above, plus many more.

lee_hero

Still none of these at the local K-Mart here.
They did have a new cardboard display last night of Sony double features for $6 each.
Here's what I can remember

Ali/The Greatest
Glory/The Patriot
Identity/??????
Muppets Take Manhattan/?????
Rugrats In Space/???????

Dammit, I should have written them down cause that's all I can remember.
They had 12 different ones though.

johnson_design
