Re: New Release Price Comparisons - Week of 10/18/09 to 10/24/09
I've seen a Wal-Mart ad posted that showed Transformers 2 Blu at $19.96. Why does the chart say $23?

I can only provide info that I'm aware of, and I didn't know Walmart had a printed ad with actual prices for next week. I was using their online prices. Fixed. But of course be advised that Walmart prices are extremely YMMV. |
Re: New Release Price Comparisons - Week of 10/18/09 to 10/24/09
I'm sorry if it sounded like I was criticizing, Trevor. I most certainly was NOT. I was actually more wondering if the ad I'd seen had turned out to be incorrect or if the price had changed. I was concerned MY info was incorrect, not yours.

Re: New Release Price Comparisons - Week of 10/18/09 to 10/24/09
Trev,
for Transformers your "misc store" could be TWEC Stores with the SteelBook 2-disc DVD @$24.99 with $7 MIR. |

"Big Screen Edition"?
Is WalMart trying a new way to explain widescreen to the masses? |

Any idea if Costco will have something special for Transformers?
I am heading there Tuesday and will report back, if no one else does. |
Re: New Release Price Comparisons - Week of 10/18/09 to 10/24/09
Hey Trevor, I love that you are doing these price comparisons. How do you insert the tables? I have a few layout suggestions for you.

If any of you have ideas to make the tables here better, and they can definitely be much improved, just quote my post, take my blank table out, and go to town editing it. |
Re: New Release Price Comparisons - Week of 10/18/09 to 10/24/09
Okay, I'm working on it. Thought I might take the tables into dreamweaver, but that made a bunch of extra unnecessary code. Stay tuned.

Re: New Release Price Comparisons - Week of 10/18/09 to 10/24/09
Alright, I'm having trouble getting this to appear correctly, but the general idea is this.
I found it confusing to list the titles across the top and then have exclusives, then the different versions go to the right. How about if we list all the titles on the left, then columns for each of the stores. Since transformers is the only major release with exclusives, I didn't think it was necessary to have that section for each title. Why not list that in it's own section? Does anyone know why there's this HUGE gap between my text and the code? <table border="1"><tr><td>New Releases</td><td><center>Best Buy</center></td><td><center>Target</center></td><td><center>Wal-Mart</center></td><td><center>Amazon</center></td><td><center>DeepDisc</center></td><td><center>TWEC</center></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen</td> <td><center>$16</center></td> <td><center>$15</center></td> <td><center>$16</center></td> <td><center>$16</center></td> <td><center>$23</center></td> <td><center></center></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen 2-disc SE</td> <td><center>$23</center></td> <td><center>$23/27</center></td> <td><center>$21</center></td> <td><center>$23</center></td> <td><center>$29</center></td> <td><center>$18</center></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Blu-ray</td> <td><center>$25</center></td> <td><center>$26/$30</center></td> <td><center>$20</center></td> <td><center>$25</center></td> <td><center>$34</center></td> <td><center></center></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead</td> <td><center>$18</center></td> <td><center></center></td> <td><center>$17</center></td> <td><center>$17</center></td> <td><center>$18</center></td> <td><center></center></td> </tr> <tr> <td>The L Word: Final Season</td> <td><center>$40</center></td> <td><center>$37</center></td> <td><center>$37</center></td> <td><center>$39</center></td> <td><center>$44</center></td> <td><center></center></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Numbers: The Complete Fifth Season</td> <td><center>$40</center></td> <td><center></center></td> <td><center>$47</center></td> <td><center>$39</center></td> <td><center>$43</center></td> <td><center></center></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Peanuts: 1970's Collection Vol. 1</td> <td><center>$25</center></td> <td><center></center></td> <td><center>$21</center></td> <td><center>$22</center></td> <td><center>$25</center></td> <td><center></center></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Iron Man: Armored Adventures Vol. 1</td> <td><center>$13</center></td> <td><center></center></td> <td><center>$15</center></td> <td><center>$13</center></td> <td><center>$12</center></td> <td><center></center></td> </tr> </table> <table border="1"> <tr> <td><center>Exclusives</center></td> <td><center>Stores</center></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Transformers: Revenge of the fallen</td> <td><ul> <li>Best Buy: $14 doorbuster midnight price</li> <li>Best Buy: 2-disc SE $21 doorbuster midnight price; also exclusive gift set with figure and $50 sideshowcollectibles gift card for $45/$42</li> <li>Best Buy: Blu-ray $22 doorbuster midnight price</li> <li>Target: 2nd price Bumblebee tranformer packaging</li> <li>Wal-mart: "big screen edition"</li> <li>TWEC: 2-disc SE after $7 rebate</li> </ul></td> </tr> </table> |
Re: New Release Price Comparisons - Week of 10/18/09 to 10/24/09
Chris, looks good, and I had thought about doing it that way, but I decided that the exclusive information had to be right next to the prices. The prices alone are sort of useless, without knowing at an easy glance what is included with it.
Of course, you can ignore that and re-do my posts every week, giving people two options. I'm only half kidding I think. I do agree that it can be made much better. I'm thinking some sort of shading or bolding in certain rows/columns to make the information flow better. On the empty space thing, I know the fix, but am forgetting it at this moment. About to leave the house, will look at it closer later. |
Re: New Release Price Comparisons - Week of 10/18/09 to 10/24/09
Amazon has dropped the price of the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Blu-ray to $19.99
It might be helpful for those who do not have the Pappa Johns coupon or a Wally World near them and don't mind waiting to get it... |
Re: New Release Price Comparisons - Week of 10/18/09 to 10/24/09
I'm getting my Imax edition at Wal-Mart at midnight tonight - with Papa Johns coupon only $16.96. Sweet!

Re: New Release Price Comparisons - Week of 10/18/09 to 10/24/09
I just got back from the wal-mart in oxnard, ca and they have the 2 disc blu-ray for $13.00. I don't know if this is limited time or not.
