Some prices are up online, but remain low in-store.
I do know, however, that the prices for the Miyazaki movies on the chart (Kiki's Delivery Service, Castle in the Sky and Spirited Away) are no good.

That is precisely why it says, "B&M - online prices may not necessarily reflect in-store prices, which are the ones listed."
I'll have the Miyazaki titles removed, but as far as I know, those are the only ones that are different than the ones in the chart, AS FAR AS B&M GOES. The online links are there just so you know what it is you're looking for in-store. Perhaps I should have those removed as well?
SkyDog, if you could remove the Miyazaki titles from the Best Buy chart... Princess Mononoke, Kiki's Delivery Service, Castle in the Sky, and Spirited Away, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Bumping this thread to avoid further confusion of which thread to post in.
Also, in regards to the Eva Platinum Collection--DVD Price Search will tell you where to find it cheapest online--Prolly Amazon as SBJ suggested.

Even though I have only recently bought all of the remix sessions that are out, I think I'll still pick up the best sessions just for the hell of it. Thanks JBM and the fine posters of this board.

Thanks, got both. Requesting Best Buy table updates for the addition of the Blue Seed update, Cowboy Bebop: Best Sessions update, and the removal of Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky, and Kiki's Delivery Service.
Also: My Best Buy only had one copy of Totoro and one copy of Whisper. I had a $5 RZ GC so I went ahead and grabbed mine at Best Buy.
