You're welcome. And I forgot to say thanks for posting that. I had a Fry's ad in front of me and I didn't even notice the Star Wars deal.
If I didn't already buy from DDD, I'd be heading to Fry's.

It's pretty time consuming to post the prices (for me just to edit TrustCompany's prices at CAG.com takes me over an hour usually) so those that have the ads already don't wanna take 1+ hour of their lives out to post the prices.
They should be available Saturday cuz the sales circulars are included with Saturday's papers for those that get home delivery.

They don't seem to be posted at CAG.com anyways. There's a thread asking the same thing, but the usual poster seems to be out. I hate when people leave loose ends before vacation.

Frankly, this week, I've been insanely busy at work so I wouldn't have had time to post them even if they were up at CAG.
But if you see them up at any site, then feel free to post the prices in a DVD friendly format. If someone else does it, they can appreciate the amount of time that it takes to post those prices.

Anyone have a copy of the ad? Or any Portland Otters that can point me to which paper it would be in so I can price match.

I went with Amazon. I had a GC and used STL and opted for free shipping. I received my notice that it shipped Friday. Scheduled delivery from PA is wednesday the 22nd. Good enough for me.
Can't wait.

Is there an advantage to buying now if you don't mind waiting another year or so? I love these films but saw them all (again) recently and thought they might all be released as one mega set after the next Star Wars film is released (Clone Wars). Or do you think they'll just release all the others together to fit with this trilogy?
I'd hate to get this and then have to buy them again in a mega set in two years...
Thanks for all the info about prices everyone!

I'll be hitting Wal*Mart after work even though Fry's is cheaper. It's just too crazy at Fry's unless you get there early in the am.

Cancelled my Amazon.com order. Ordered it months ago and it's showing on my account that it won't even ship until 9/28. I won't receive it until the beginning of October. Bah. Ridiculous.

I wouldn't put too much stock in Amazon's pre-order shipping dates.
They ALWAYS say that my orders will ship two to three weeks after release date, and I always get them either ON release date or the day after.
Of course, for this title I'll probably wait outside of Best Buy just before they open to stand in line and talk SW with the other geeks waiting to get their copies.
I'm still looking around for Philly stores that will be open at midnight to sell it. Sounds like a fun Star Wars party in the making.
