I just saw the list of high def movies that Target will be getting on May 22nd. Hopefully they are advertised at prices like NatM and Deja Vu. I guess I'll have to wait for Speedy to get the ads at the end of the week.

HD:
Flags of our Father
Letters from Iwo Jima
40 Year Old Virgin

Blu Ray:
Pirates
Pirates 2
Apocalypto
Flags of our Father
Letters from Iwo Jima

I'm kinda bummed there is no Matrix on HD, but this is a big step for Target to get all of these for release day.

Are we SURE about this?

kev9228

Yep, you can check my track record with Target stores. I posted about the Dreamgirls being a 3-disc exclusive, WTC being a 3-disc exclusive, and when the HD section was going to be updated. I should have checked to see how much regular price was, but didn't think about it. I can find this out on Thursday (but Speedy will probably have the ad by then anyway).

If all thats true, its shaping up to be an expensive day...

I wonder how much longer I'm going to be able to remain DVD-only...

REL77

Do we have any idea what some of these prices are going to be like?

Mr. Cinema

If those 5 blu-rays show up, I wonder which 5 they are replacing. It certainly would be nice if they expand the unit instead.

Mr. Cinema

If none are on sale, I would say all 5 Blu-ray titles will be $29.99

on HD DVD, I would guess:

40 Year Old Virgin: $24.99
Flags of Our Fathers: $29.99
Letters from Iwo Jima: $34.99 or $39.99

Here are the prices and DPCI numbers (Target's numbering system) for each movie:

Pirates BR - 058-27-0057 - $29.99
Pirates 2 BR - 058-27-0059 - $29.99
Flags BR - 058-27-0060 - $29.99
Flags HD - 058-27-0061 - $29.99
40 Year Old Virgin HD - 058-27-0062 - $24.99
Letters BR - 058-27-0063 - $29.99
Letters HD - 058-27-0064 - $34.99
Apocalypto BR - 058-27-0131 - $29.99

Remember, these are the normal selling price so the advertised price might be less.

Wow, is that going to be a pricey day. I want all of those (well, I don't need 40 Year Old Virgin since I have the extended DVD).

I'm in for both Pirates and 40 Year Old Virgin. Hopefully somebody runs a deal on some of these that week...

Mr. Cinema

I never saw Dreamgirls. Why did Target not get that high-profile release?

kev9228

My only guess for this is Target wanted to sell more of their 3 disc exclusive. Other than that I can't think of a reason to not carry Dreamgirls.

Mr. Cinema

The May 20-27 ads have been posted for Target in the bargains thread.

Apocalypto $24.99
Letters from Iwo Jima BD: $24.99, HD DVD: $29.99

Hopefully Target keeps up this trend of putting BD new releases on sale the first week.

No mention of the Pirates movies.

circuit city will have both pirates for 29.99 each for blu ray. If you buy both you get a 15 dollar gift cards.Thanks to speedy for the quick ads
