Sky Captain early
 
I just got back from my local store when I saw it. I was getting ready to check out and they had it there and was selling it early so I picked up a copy of it. I've noticed before that they seem be selling other movies before street dates as well. I live just outside of Philly in case anyone else wants it for the hefty price of $24.99.

Its considered bad form to post places that break street date. It could get them in serious trouble and then we won't get our movies early. ;) Best not to post it.

I edited it..better now? I was just wondering how often people on here find movies before the street date. I've only got two movies before the street date from the stores and one from a website.

I've gotten plenty of DVDs early from websites over the years, although it's usually only a few days. As for stores, I've only seen it happen twice, an neither time was in something I bought (Once in a Suncoast, once in a Walmart). Of course, I don't necessarily go to video departments of stores on non-Tuesdays either.

I picked up "Sky Captain" yesterday at a second hand store. It was brand new, still shrink-wrapped -- NOT a bootleg -- and I picked it up for $7.00.

Sounds like it fell off a truck!

Small releases that you think most people wouldn't care about, such as the Godzilla movies, I can find more often than not, available early at my local best buy. As far as the big popular titles, there's hardly been any that I've found early. A Buffy season here, a Family Guy there, etc.

Well the commercial I saw on TV yesterday said "Buy Sky Captain Tomorrow" so you didn't really get it early. :p
