They honored (and already shipped) The Texas Chainsaw Massacare BD price error....so hurry in on this one!

Remember, they charge before they ship. So you will pay for this item right away even though it does not come out for a few months.

For $12 after shipping, I'll give it a shot. Thanks Gizmo!

Thanks for the heads up. Sucks I had to pay sales tax though. 12.83 out the door will not be beat.

Appreciate the heads up on this Gizmo. For that amount, I'm willing to blind buy this one.

Don't forget that the first shipment or so comes with both the 2D and 3D version.

I went ahead and ordered it. Even if it sucks, I should be able to resell it for more than $12.

At least the first shipment is supposed to have both 2-D and 3-D. Kind of an expensive marketing ploy if you ask me.

$12.80 shipped ain't bad. That's certainly cheaper than taking my three kids to go see it... which we never did.

Columbia House has it for $27. I'll wait for reviews to see if I want to add it to the collection. I can then pick it up during the next free shipping BOGO sale at CH for $13.50(it's worth the extra $1.50 to me to wait for reviews). Good deal at FV. I'm going to have to start perusing their site more often. Thanks for the heads-up, Gizmo.

Even at this low of a price, I cannot in good conscience purchase this title or any other new release that Warner spits out without lossless audio....it shouldn't matter if this is considered by them to be a family film like "Speed Racer" or "Kit Kitteridge" so they think lossy DD is just good enough....this is supposed to be high definition, which means both picture AND sound, and a film like this packed with special effects deserves both so I will have to pass...

I just checked the site, and the disc is now their current #1 bestselling title.

I hope they honor it, but I'm sure they aren't going to be too happy about this one.

Is it going to be anaglyph 3-D like the Hannah Montana movie then?
