Re: General Costco DVD Thread
A lot of Paramount Blu-Ray titles were $16.99 at Costco yesterday. I know I saw Iron Man and Transformers. It didn't look like a sale or anything, they were just the regular price stickers. I'm sure there were others
Sorry for this being kind of vague but I was in a bit of a hurry yesterday so I didn't get to look much.

I've recently seen S1+S2 of Dark Angel in a two-pack for $19.99. Some other shows as well like Remington Steele (1st 2 seasons). Same price.

"West Side Story" 2-disk red box: $9.99
"West Side Story" 2-disk red box is $9.99 at Costco.
This is the Collector's Edition with the booklet and anamorphic widescreen version of the film. It goes for $24 at Amazon. Sam's Club has the single-disk full-frame version for $8.88, so this is a terrific value in comparison. I could never understand how a film carefully composed for Super Panavision 70 and had an early anamorphic DVD release could be withdrawn in favor of a full-frame version.
I also noticed South Pacific, King and I, and Fiddler on the Roof in their latest 2-disk anamorphic versions for $9.99. However, the Sound of Music being offered at that price is a single-disk anamorphic version with few extras, and is not such a good deal. Sam's has the latest 2-disk version of that for $16+, which is not so great either.

Re: "West Side Story" 2-disk red box: $9.99
I finally broke down and bought this..
Updated my other post ,now includes all $5 movies and $7 double feature dvd movie packs that my costco had in stock.
Got the new March coupon book.No DVD deals.A few HD-TV deals though.
Still waiting/hoping the Panny 46" plasma goes on sale.. :-))
The HD-TV selection at my Costco keeps getting smaller and smaller.
Maybe its because of newer models might be comming out soon.

I noticed this today. The ones I saw for sure were:
Indiana Jones & TKOTCS
Transformers
Tropic Thunder
Iron Man
And probably a couple others that were in that group.

I noticed this too. I think I'm going to hold off for a Costco coupon for these titles though (like $3-5 off). There were TONS of them. They're going to want to clear them out eventually. Then Iron Man will be mine.

Yeah, I almost got Tropic Thunder (that being the only one of those 4 I don't already have) but $17 still seemed like too much.

Re: General Costco DVD Thread
Odd. I was there tonight picking up the $10 West Side Story mentioned a few posts back, but I didn't see any particularly inexpensive BDs. I wish Wanted was $17 or less. Come on, everyone - there's a Depression brewing; make with the sales, yo!

Re: General Costco DVD Thread
Some pretty sweet deals. Is there a similar thread for BJ's Wholesale Club? From what I've seen of the CostCo prices posted here, the BJ's prices are pretty comparable. They will also issue their own coupons on DVD's and Blu-Rays from time to time. For instance, some time back they had a bunch of Pixar films available for $13.99. At the SAME time, they had a $7 coupon off of all those titles. Picked me up Bug's Life, The Incredibles, Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Monster's, Inc. and Finding Nemo for $7 apiece, all 2-Disc Editions. :-) Not bad, though now I want to go Blu on those. Have most of the DVDs still in shrink-wrap. Need to get rid of. I'm at BJ's all the time and could keep an eye out for deals, coupons and instant rebates, though!

The BJ's that I frequent has a much smaller inventory compared to Costco and their prices are a couple dollars higher than Costco.

Re: General Costco DVD Thread
By all rights, Costco should be cheaper because their membership is more expensive. :-P I tried to go in there and price-compare once, but they wouldn't let me in the door without a card. I already knew about their membership and just wanted to browse but I was forced to go to the service desk and listen to them talk about their membership again. Never made it back to the movies! :-( Guess I need to hook up with someone who's a member and will let me shop with, eh? Oh, and I know that this is for DVD bargains, but just as an example: BJ's had Wanted on Blu-Ray for $15.99 a couple of weeks back. Bet Costco couldn't touch that one. ;-)

Re: General Costco DVD Thread
I was in my Costco last week and I was disappointed in how small the DVD selection was compared to my previous visit, just a couple of weeks before. No classic movie box sets at all. Hardly any TV box sets. Just a few new releases, some of the cheap two-packs, and a few special editions. What gives?

Re: General Costco DVD Thread
Costco's DVD selection seems to expand and contract based upon the time of year, and gift-buying seasons. It has been a while since I've been blown away by any Costco DVD deals, but I keep checking. I'm sure there will be more before too long.

I remember some having this concern a couple of years ago. All it turned out to be was Costco making room for an educational software promotion. The DVD section returned to normal not long afterwards.
