That’s All Folks!

Although there are some good deals here, I'm really surprised that Best Buy isn't striking back harder against nemesis Circuit City in this week's ad.

Contact Me if You Need me…………..

Speedy1961

Thanks for the heads up --- <b>NYPD BLUE #3</b> and the <b>REMINGTON STEELE</b> sets may coax some money out of my wallet.

awesome, I wasn't even going to bother with the newly quality-reduced packaging on NYPD 3/4...but at 14.99 I think SSN3 will be worth it!

Looks pretty good this time, thanks speedy!

Thanks Speedy - maybe Super Troopers, My Cousin Vinny, Office Space for me.

Thanks speedy, I appreciate your hard work!

$4.99 EACH:
The Girl Next Store: Unrated - IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE GIRL NEXT DOOR? If so I'm all over it. Good movie

$6.99 EACH:

Office Space: Special Edition With Flair
Man On Fire
Robots

the last 2 are pretty tempting, if it wasn't for the fact that they're available as 2 disc sets.

Yes... It is... thanks for spotting that.

Thanks Speedy!

I haven't picked up Hill Street Blues yet, so those are terrific prices.

Nothing I really want, but going to see if any other Simpsons sets are one sale. :)


Speedy- Any Sony Laptops on sale?

Are all in Living Color sets on sale or only 1 and 5? Thanks for the prices. Also, its that the 2 disc Master and Commander? Thanks!!!

purplechoe, good call with robots. I didn't see it.
I wasn't aware it had a 2-disc release in addition to the 1-disc release.
Hopefully if I ordered it online, they'd ship one with a slip cover. I've seen them in stores without the cover.

What are the differences between the 1 and 2 disc versions of Robots?

Thanks :up:

Looks like it finally paid off holding out on Dark Angel S2. Some other good deals as well..

Thanks for the prices as always, Speedy.

Remington Steele and Pretender, here I come. Thanks a bunch speedy.:)

Thanks for the prices, speedy! Amazon's price for Doctor Who after taxes is not much different than DDD's price so I'm gonna go ahead and order it online. If nothing else, it'll save me a bit of gas money (I won't even bother going to Best Buy) which is really important nowadays!

Thanks for the prices, Speedy!

I have to decide whether to get Hill Street Blues. I've never seen it (it was before my time) and I'm worried that it'll seem dated. I've been spoiled by HBO...

Whoa! Hello NYPD Blue Season 3. Now if only Season 4 were eligible as well. I might give it a shot. (And to think I almost ordered Season 3 from DDD last week!) Something told me to wait...

Thanks for the ad!

Been waiting for you to post this. Now I can finally plan my shopping for next week.

Daaamn! Sweet price on the Napolean Dynamite special edition. How convenient for my 30 days to be up before I could get a price match in! :(

Not sure if you meant it that way, but kinda sounds rude. As for me, appreciate all you do speedy bringing us all stuff you do way beforehand, taking questions about all kinds of products, and noting lowest prices and good deals!

Didn't sound rude to me...sounds like he appreciates speedy putting up all of the ads so he can plan his weekly rounds. I do.

Anyway, great prices on the TV sets. I'll have to stash some for myself ;)

Here's a mystery about "My Cousin Vinny (Gold package)". I happen to know for a fact that My Cousin Vinny was first released as a Single Layer (DVD-5) in anamorphic widescreen with a DD 2.0 soundtrack. Recently I saw this Gold package edition in Walmart and the package clearly said Dual Layer (DVD-9).

If I check an older review it says Single Layer in the specs, such as:
http://www.digitallyobsessed.com/showreview.php3?ID=578
http://www.currentfilm.com/dvdreview...nvinnydvd.html

If I check a newer review it says Dual Layer in the specs, such as:
http://www.thedigitalbits.com/review...usinvinny.html

Other than the layers, both discs have identical content and extra features.

Question: Did Fox do a stealth re-issue/re-transfer and convert the old Single Layer edition into a higher bitrate Dual Layer transfer, or is the review at thedigitalbits and the back of the Gold package wrong?

Thanks for posting the ads, Speedy!

By the way, there are a few DVDs I'll probably buy, but I can't go to the store until Wednesday due to 4th of July plans. Since the ad said all ad items are available online with free shipping the whole week, would it be wisest to order the DVDs online Sunday morning with free shipping, select in-store pickup, or wait until Wednesday to go to the store and hope they still have them?

I'd guess I'd be safest ordering online with free shipping to my home?
