Yes my friend, its the same store as before. Please don't tell many people about it though. The owner and I are on good terms, and he always calls me to let me know if something I want has come in early(in 99% of the time always does).
I believe "our secret store" is offering it for $22.99.

Thanks for point me in the direction again. Sometimes it's the simple things in life that make the day.

Is it illegal? Wouldn't this fall into the same category as say the Harry Potter Books which is was illegal for stores to sell before the street date? I thought the rule was that the studio (or publisher in the case of books) got to decide when the product was to be released and anything before that date counts as some sort of infringment on the copyright.
I have no idea I'm just curious on why it wouldn't be the same for books and films.

I don't think you should be worrying about keeping stores secret, because these stores may get in trouble, but they get a fine, and then they are back to selling bootlegs and DVDs early. These stores have balls and should be supported. Kim's Video in NYC just got raided by the government, got rid of some DVD bootlegs, probably got some fines, but they are back to their old ways. It's very naive to think that the government does not know about these stores. They know about these stores, but there is no Video Police and they have other crap to worry about such as searching the bags of trendy SoHo white girls to stop terrorism.

I have heard a story....I cannot validate it....but it makes for a good story.
Back when Sega had its dreamcast system on the market, Wal-Mart continued to break street dates, and corner the market. Sega would slap a fine on them (per the contract) and wal mart didn't want to pay. They let it all wash and forgave and forgot....it continued to happen. Sega threatened to not send out product...Wal Mart bit and told Sega don't worry about it. We won't be carrying The dreamcast any longer. Sega went into panic mode. The dreamcast collapsed, and they folded.
again i say, i cannot validate this story. may just be an old wives tale.

Who cares??? When is the bigger, better, special edition version coming out?? The one Rodrigeuz announced where you can watch each story arc separately and in an extended version?? That's the one I am waiting for. Not double dipping here.

I can't believe how much negativity I'm reading here about my comment. Alright, I screwed up and got carried away and said 'illegal'. Perhaps it's not but there are still consequences for dropping store names and pointing people in the direction of a place that's breaking street dates. We all love it when we find something out early but I don't think it should be made to be a public announcement where one little small mom and pop shop is selling a DVD early. Do you want to be responsible for getting these people in trouble possibly someday? What are the chances a majority of the readers here go there anyways? And, last but not least, why not just be happy you know of a place that will do things like this for you early, and keep it to yourself and maybe personal friends you actually know? Besides, most the time people post threads like this, they're just inadvertantly trying to brag anyways.
